Great idea! I use a La Pavoni Europiccola (lever espresso machine) when I have time, Bialetti Moka pot or pour over when I don’t.

Ours is vintage, got super lucky and found it at Goodwill. It’s a pre-millenium model from about 1980. A little descaler and new gaskets, and it works great.

I wish it had a bigger portafilter, but it’s really not a big deal for us.

I’ve used Pixels (and the Nexus line before that) for nearly 9 years and overall they’ve been great phones. Pixel 4 was really the only dud for me, but I haven’t used them all, generally buy a used one every 2 years or so.

Right now I’m using a Pixel 5 which I like, and Mrs tomatobeard has a Pixel 6 which I’m a tad jealous of. Pixels have great Android support/updates, and also have good support in the custom ROM and modding community. My favorite phone ever was a Pixel 2 XL, and when Google stopped supporting it, I switched to Lineage os and kept rocking it for a year or more after.

I also have a Pixel 5 and like the size of it. Whenever I handle my wife’s Pixel 6 it feels freaking huge.

Was thinking about Calyx or Graphene. Is it pretty low fuss for daily use?

Maybe I’ve gotten lucky, but I’ve messed up flashing many things over the years and never permanently bricked anything. Or maybe it’s less of a risk on modern devices?

Feels like I watched the Comedy Central premiere just a few years ago.

But definitely feels like 20 years since I watched the Fox run at my parents house.

It’s mostly marketing right? “Buy this thing to show you are a real tough man.” “This truck can tow more than other trucks, and you’ll never tow jack shit” etc
