I watch this guy and I'm so conflicted (he's all-over my Facebook video feed), I go from between 'he's the most annoying dweeb on the planet that's got too much time on his hands' to 'hmmm OK this guys seems super clued up' ;)

The content he produces has really high production values but do find myself mouthing the words 'it's only ******* coffee' at the screen!

Just accept he's a massive coffee nerd and enjoy it.

I'm the same. I like coffee. I like doughnuts. But I don't like the hype and fashion blathered onto both and I like my coffee to taste of coffee. Not vanilla. Not cinnamon. Not milk. Not sugar. I don't want a hundred slightly different preparations of milk, each one given a different foreign name to fool people into thinking it's something exotic and special and therefore worth paying triple the price for. Milky coffee? That's £2. Cafe latte? That's £5. Is it the same thing? Yes. But one has a foreign name, so it's exotic and special! And they both cost the company selling it to you 25p. Drug dealers would be impressed by the retail markup on coffee.

It's coffee. It's not a thousand hours of work by a great artist who has been honing their skill for 30 years to reach a level of ability that will enable to create their magnum opus. It's roasted berries steeped in hot water to make a pleasant drink.

But...I'd try that doughnutcoffee.
 
Honestly I hate and love youtubes algorithm, I'm watching a video on Granular synthesis for vocal manipulation and this ****** is on the right hand side


Obviously I couldn't resist because who doesn't want to see a chicken cooked by slapping it :D
 
Lockheed Skunkworks must be a great job for the right sort of person. Give your ideas free rein, we're after new approaches and we'll worry about cost later.

So...it's early cold war and they get asked the question "How big could a plane be, theoretically, with technology that exists or which is plausible? Could we build a flying aircraft carrier?"


Never built, of course, but it's an interesting idea and a reflection of the still optimistic view of nuclear power. Nuclear powered planes, trains and automobiles. And pretty much everything else.
