  • I use lactose free whole milk, maple syrup, a generous amount of cocoa, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and sometimes a touch of nutmeg.

    My wife likes to go really heavy on the cinnamon and adds some cayenne pepper for more of a mexican chocolate style drink.

    Delicuous indeed.

    Cocoa does contain some caffeine, so people with no tolerance at all might not be able to enjoy it, but it’s something like 10% the amount that’s in coffee.



  • I had a hard time finding whole bean decaf. Counter culture: slow motion and magnolia coffee co: Brazil decaf are too options that I like fairly well.

    My sensitivity to caffeine varies. When it starts to bother me, going to approximately half decaf and half normal beans is a good way to cut the caffeine without having the shock of suddenly switching to decaf only.







  • No, never. Current charging rates already get close to thermal constraints. Hitting those charging rates either requires accepting much lower power density or using way more metal per cell. This research might inform design changes to improve charging rates, but we’ll never see high capacity batteries charging in a minute.

    The researchers know this and only mention wearables and iot devices applications. The article author erroneously makes the leap to high energy density devices.

    If you don’t care about energy density at all, ceramic capacitors can already charge and discharge in microseconds.






  • With an ad blocking dns.

    https://adguard-dns.io/en/public-dns.html

    Go down to the configure manually option and follow the instructions for iPhone.

    I think next guard is also supposed to be decent, but they won’t let you use it without an account.

    The nice thing about the dns approach is it works for more than just your web browser. There’s a bunch of Android games that are essentially unplayable without an adblocking dns.

    As a disclaimer, a bunch of sites are ramping up requiring enabling ads or they won’t let you load the content. I’m ok with just hitting back and not viewing those sites, but my MIL just asked for help removing the ad guard dns because her news sites wouldn’t let her in.







  • I’m sure avoiding contaminating the sample was the requirement that had them acting very cautiously. The comments saying that an angle grinder could have it open in 5 minutes were so annoying. Of course NASA engineers could bust it open if that’s all they cared about. The whole point of collecting a sample is to take extremely precise measurements of the contents. Any grinding wheel or saw, would risk adding contamination that would mess up the analysis.
