I've used a larger version for cold brew in the past and it worked well. It was a bit annoying to clean out but cold brew batches arent every morning so it was fine.

My preference is now an aeropress with a fabric filter. I use this above a metal filter with the Prismo attachment (metal to stop the fabric clogging the valve). The fabric circle is small enough to be easy to clean, freeze and thaw. I usually only rinse it (much easier with a small flat disk) before chucking it in the freezer but I use Cafitza to clean it every few months to remove any built up oils (just gotta give it a few soaks in boiling water afterwards to ensure its not holding on to the cleaning agent!).

I loved Lego Island but will never forgive Lego Island 2 for the bad disk that would crash after 3/4 of the game. I never got to finish it.

Rock Raiders & Lego Loco were great (if a little inadvisable in terms of the Lego Loco letters).

This comment from A7pr8 seems to suggest it is possible to modify the apk via Lucky Patcher, which hopefully would then work on a non-rooted phone:

You can't just send the app from your rooted device. When you mod the app on a rooted device only .odex file will be patched not the .apk file.

You need to rebuild .apk to be able to share it and the the other device should also has luckypatcher for it to work.

Simply when you patch an app use the option create modified .apk or rebuild it from "rebuild & install" in the bottom bar.

The right dinosaur has chaotic dreams that make no sense but is hiding it to seem normal. It took me a bit to realise what the lower left bit was, which did confuse me.

I believe his promise was still a real terms cut, as the pot for the NHS hasn't risen with inflation. Also, there are various things that the conservatives made the NHS sell off/outsource, which increases long term costs.

Yeah, I absolutely want this option on all keyboards too. I just moved to openboard and it's the thing I miss most by far.

I've ranted about this to several people too. Intelligence is hard to define and trying to define it has a horrible history linked to eugenics. That said, I feel like a minimum definition is that it has the capacity to understand the meaning and/or impact of what it is saying and/or doing, which current "AI" is so far from doing.

This should help. I believe the .ui files will work with both PyQt and PySide but I haven't personally tried.

PyQt is pretty good and Qt is widely used, so may also be worth a look. The Qt designer is a nice way to separate out the look of the GUI elements, then work on connecting the app functionality to that after. I think the key is to start on something simple and work up, partially to learn the library and partially to learn the pitfalls of GUI development as you add features etc.

I'd have jumped on one of those if it had a microSD slot

Yeah, it's not cool. However, the Xperia phones up to series iii all have LineageOS releases, which can extend the life, and I'm hoping it comes to the later series as those get to EOL. They absolutely should have better official support though.
