    Anti blue light anti glare computer glasses

    You're looking for Gunnar glasses.  They're not expensive and worth the money, specially if you sit in a dimly-lit area.  It just protects your eyes from a lot of fatigue, and they really do work.

    Are you a brand-baby? C'mon, own up, be a MAN!

    I can't afford shopping after brands, so no.  If I had the money though, I'm sure it wouldn't be an issue and I'd go for whatever works best for my needs.

    Joke for the day

    This is one where the gif actually doesn't do the video justice.  If you check the vid one, the okes really freaks out and ends up peeing himself.

    You tried Screwman?

    Joke for the day

    This oke looks like he has quite some input lag.  Head says "woah, stop" but the legs keep going "RUN AND JUMP!".

    Rip off prices - what do you think is crazy expensive - anything goes

    Considering what goes into craft beer, that's quite understandable. PS:  Devil's Peak is quite affordable these days.  Their lager isn't half bad.

    The Coffee Thread

    Yeah I can make a plan, I guess, but an electric grinder isn't that expensive anymore.  They seemed to have dipped in prices since I bought the hand grinder.  One day.

    Rip off prices - what do you think is crazy expensive - anything goes

    Home purchase transfer costs.  It doesn't take all that long and the process to transfer a R900k house is exactly the same as a R9 million house.  Why do you get discounts then on the cheap place, but on the more expensive place you have to suffer?  Suddenly when you're buying just over that...

    The Coffee Thread

    I've used my battery drill.  Works well, but it damages the screw thread where it attaches, so I stopped...  :vsad:

    The Coffee Thread

    Yeah, I currently have a conical burr grinder with ceramic cones.  I want the same, just powered with a little motor so I don't have to turn the lever by hand each time I want coffee.

    The Coffee Thread

    My wife is a big, big fan of these guys' English Toffee coffee:  https://www.coffeeunplugged.co.za/beans/roastery.html I buy the beans, grind by hand and then run them through an el-cheapo espresso machine.  It's old and the seals aren't holding on very well anymore so it doesn't build up...

    One perfect song

    Milky Chance - Stolen Dance.  It's got the highs, the lows, everything in a between and it's just chilled.

    Divers swim with one of biggest great white sharks off Hawaii

    To put it into context - that's more than 1m longer than a Ford Ranger Double Cab, and almost 700kg heavier.  That is one hell of a specimen, wow!

    Joke for the day

    This looks like most people's new year's resolutions.  "I'm GONNA DIET" and then comes the first McDonalds and you're just like "nawww".

    This simply can't be true, can it?

    Yeah cork is becoming crazy expensive, and not really environmentally friendly.  Plastic corks are cheaper, but screw tops are winners.  It's a bummer swingtops are so hellishly expensive :(

    If you mount a thermometer in the top of the still's column you should be able to control the ABV a lot better, and you can get rid of the dangerous (poisonous) foreshots.  There are certain temperatures and methods to follow, but I guess you know that by now :P Anyway, it shouldn't be too hard...

    By the way, if anyone has a still they're not using and they wanna get rid of it - let me know.  I'm always game :D

    Or you buy a Brewie+ or PicoBrew that'll do a lot more.  That LG machine is going to make VERY average beer.  Very few beers are ever ready for drinking in 2 weeks, and even fewer of them are brewed from extracts, and none of them use hop extracts.  It'll be a nice machine to have to make one or...

    SA artists worth mentioning

    Since these guys launched a few new songs a few weeks ago, I had to share (again, if I shared before):  https://play.google.com/music/m/A3yhkjpbidtqsshfvfdn3qs3o6q?t=Monkeys_in_boots
