I have switched a dell laptop that windows 10 didn't support to pop os. (It was 7 years old) My whole family has used it for a few years to do everything without any issues. Ironically I have had problems with the Pop OS install on my newer more powerful machine.

They really should make a easy path to update the 2g modem module to a 5g, but you know... Sales. Next thing you know car manufactures will be sunsetting support for an entire car because they no longer support updates to people with an out of date phone. So lazy and short sighted.

Hmm, maybe you arent able to reach the site because of your country? At anyrate we used a water pitcher to fill our rocket espresso maker a cpl of times a week. I was thinking you could use the same thing except use one with a filter. Resin filters are supposed to soften water.

Another approach:

Could you just use one of those brita pitchers that purify the water? (Just use it for your espresso maker)

I think their filters contain water softeners.

Really interesting, I wonder what the structure of a battery pack that can charge in 5 minutes looks like.

I second the scale approach. I bought a kitchen scale for 20$. Put the beans in a small cup i leave on the scale and grind a single shot. I also use it for cooking which is really great, so its not only for coffee.

Can't afford a used car, can't afford to send my kids to school (day care was near 25k a year for our twins) , health care costs are horrendous (life expectancy continues to be one of the worse in the developed world even though we spend the most by far), food costs are through the roof. Can someone please tell me how this economy is better? WTF are these people talking about.

I live in one of the most progressive cities in the US and have had the same issue here. We have no driveway and park on the street but regulations say we cant use the grass strip (the area between the srreet and the curb) to install a charging station for an ev in front of our house. For 5 years we tried to get permission to do this without luck and have given up on ever getting an EV. I dont get how there is any hope for electric vehicles if there arent any working solutions for the millions of people in the United States who dont have a driveway or garage.

Its time to grab a beer kick back and watch as the planet is destroyed by slow moving bearacratic regulation.
