Sometimes it's better if your employer doesn't know everything you can do. If you're not careful you'll end up Inventory Controller/shipper/IT services/reception/Safety officer, and you'll only ever be paid for whatever your initial position was.

Easiest and fastest way for an amazing single cup of coffee is probably the clever dripper. It's utterly fool proof, and combined with good beans and a good grinder makes top shelf coffee. Also it costs almost nothing.

If you are looking for a batch brewer that will last the rest of your life go for Technivorm Moccamaster. I've had mine for 10 years and wouldn't want to live without it! Good grinder and beans needed of course!

Hmmmmm. I've not tried Tilde yet. I just went all in on lemmy during the rexodus. I'll have to check it out.

I'm ever hopeful we might have a Lemmy Is Fun app one day,but there's been so much chatter about boost I'm excited to try it.

"GOD: An Anatomy" by Francesca Stavrakapoulou.

"An astonishing and revelatory history that re-presents God as he was originally envisioned by ancient worshippers—with a distinctly male body, and with superhuman powers, earthly passions, and a penchant for the fantastic and monstrous."

Don't be so hung up on getting a job you hate. The secret they don't tell you is that pretty well everyone hates their job. Get out and pursue things that seem interesting to you, and don't be afraid that you won't be good enough, that was my big downfall when I was younger. Since then I've held many wildly different jobs.

I started pursuing IT since I love computers, but ended up hating being an on-call computer janitor. I did fire surpression, then IT sales (hated that too), then randomly got a job on the railroad. After bouncing around the railroad I have now ended up as Jack of all trades master of none handyman that does maintenance for a nonprofit, and I love it.

I was more surprised than anyone to find out that I preferred working with my hands, and working outdoors. I had always dreamed of a cushy job with a nice office where I could wear fancy shoes. But now I'm a nerd for workboots who absolutely does not thrive in an office environment.

But essentially I'm saying try not to sweat it. It may take you a long time to settle into something you like. Don't be afraid to go outside your comfort zone because you just might like it.

I have been pleasantly surprised the last several days. I was a little disappointed with the content at first (though I did enjoy how it felt like the "old" internet), but now that the apps have rapidly improved (connect is great!), and I've started subscribing to some interesting communities I really love it. It's like a kinder gentler reddit.
