I actually thought he was doing okay until he ran out of patience and threw his helmet at the explody drone.

It’s a good thing that Russian troops are so poorly trained.

Aw, yeeeeers!!!

Some good production value for a comedy show.

Wacky and surreal visuals and story atmosphere worked well, but I didn’t feel that it reached LOL levels of funny.

“Shikanoko” means “Deer girl”, from “shika” meaning deer

On a graph of time vs extraction, I’m sure there’s a logarithmic curve for any given temperature, with optimal extraction for taste falling some time value well before maximum extraction before the bitter astringent compounds are added to the brew.

I’ve never tried a light roast in any brewing method, but I suspect it would be even more finicky to get right than medium roast.

“Most sources” consensus is a good starting point, but it’s really up to 1) What resources and equipment you have, 2) how much effort you’re willing to put in, and 3) your personal taste.

The main thing that affects taste with FP that I have found is brewing time.

I find myself experimenting with brew time, for each and every different bag of beans or grounds to achieve optimal taste.

Starting with standard 4 minute brewing time: If that brew is underextracted, add 1 minute the next time; Likewise, if that brew is overextracted, subtract 1 minute the next time.

I can dial in the optimal brew time for taste for a new bag within 2-3 days.

Medium roasts tend to be overextracted at 4 minutes, dark roasts can go 4 minutes or more.

I have a hot water pot that maintains water temperature at 195F, and I don’t like futzing with it.

I don’t use paper filters, just a fine mesh filter.

Waitaminit.

If the finch consumes espresso, why would their beak be an espresso machine?

Shouldn’t the beak resemble a tasse, and maybe the accompanying saucer?

Maybe even the beak should be a grinder, to grind the beans at their freshest right out of the pod, then the male attracts females by providing the best espresso machine they can get to make their nest the most attractive?

Holy moly, that got dark quickly…

Kadode went all Light Yagami with her first Doraemon Isobeyan gadget…

Who else was waiting for the question about her father, and why didn’t it come up before discussing employment?

Cute, but it seems pretty straightforward.

Maybe it wasn’t in the spirit of the source material to break the atmosphere by showing some dark undertones?

I want the writing to do a little more before I fully buy in on this, but it’s good enough to watch another episode.

Damn, I thought this was a Frieren spinoff…

Watched first episode of Quality Assurance Isekai episode 1, and jeez that was boring.

I’m not even motivated to request a discussion thread for it.

Interesting premise, but absolutely the most boring direction, and it took far, far too long to get to the twist.

Dripping vagina face dragon didn’t help either.

It can be true… from a certain point of view…

Cortado doesn’t sound that difficult to make. It sounds like a variation on an Americano.

Something ridiculous like kopi luwak, or siphon brewed coffee.

Places that have those probably have other ridiculous things, so ask the baristas for recommendations.

The thread for My Deer Friend Nokotan was not created. Its start date on Anilist was July 3rd, which is almost over.

I have manually requested the thread from @rikka@ani.social

Funicular means there’s a counterbalance, usually a second car is used as a counterweight.

I have no idea how this particular system works, and there’s only one car.

I hate to say this, but the only way to save US democracy is for Biden to use this new “absolute immunity” to arrest or assassinate the SCOTUS and DJT and other enemies of pluralistic democracy.

I doubt that DJT and his allies would hesitate to do the same to their perceived “enemies”

Correction: Looked like a self propelled gun.

Currently looks like chunks of smoking debris.

The CLAMP face style is so different from today’s aesthetics…

It’s bothering me, this trend of remaking shows with higher budgets, but with less soul.

The Miburo were a real organization during the Tokugawa Shogunate.

The name is short for Mibu Ronin, after the village southwest of Kyoto where they were based.

Third episode: We got a hint of it last episode, but true to isekai tradition, it looks like our MCs have gained OP powers on top of their existing supervillain abilities.

The writing was decent with one funny bit with Rick Flagg attempting to use the bits of local language he learned from the orcs.

And also Deadshot’s misinterpretation of his relationship to another character. Deadshot is an over-serious character most of the time.

Overall so far it’s been a decent watch. The writers, directors and editors know what they’re doing.

Not boring and even some funny highlights.
