Nice thanks for that. I’ve been pretty happy with it right out of the box and haven’t really needed to do much to it, but nice to know there are options.

I as well use a Anker powerconf camera and it’s fantastic… But you will need a windows machine if you want to modify firmware settings on it as their control app runs in windows. It does seem that once you modify those settings they are persistent within the hardware itself though and once you move it back to the Linux machine it should all be preserved.

Of course it’s possible someone has already closed that gap out already or maybe the app runs in wine.

And several times throughout the story you are forced into making some “decisions” about how to deal with stale memory registers.

This is the silliest shit I’ve ever discussed on the Internet. I will say kudos to you for keeping things mostly amicable. It’s been awhile since I’ve had an argument on topicality and it’s been entertaining for me. Thanks my friend, best wishes.

Velocity is not suggestive because it is defined as speed in a direction.

In your example you are only taking speed, assuming direction and stating velocity.

That’s not how legal systems work… Plenty of things are legal in one place and illegal in another. No Christians are worried about blasphemy against Zeus or Jupiter. Like wise a Zoroastrian is only concerned about blasphemy against Ahura Mazda and not Allah.

Okay… Which one? It’s pretty clear that decaffeinated coffee violates no religions that I’m aware of… And in fact for some religions would be the only allowable way to drink coffee. And if you argue that I just meant in general that it is a slight on to any God then how would you interpret that as anything other than humor or sarcasm?

Do you always feel like a victim or is it just when you aren’t caffeinated enough?

Opinions, such as “all methods of decaffeinating coffee are blasphemy” are subjective in their very nature. What makes this more obvious is that the definition of blasphemy is entirely subjective and can’t even begin to be assessed objectively until at very minimum a religious dogma is declared for the basis of evaluation.

That’s because words on their own all have definitions. The subjectivity is created contextually. I swear it feels like I’m talking to a bot.

How do you gather? You think there isn’t many ways to decaffeinate beans or that some of them aren’t gross? Or that most ways used to decaffeinate beans doesn’t make the coffee taste bad?

These are the very points James makes in the first 2/3rds of the video.

The only point that he and I might delaminate on was that all decaf is blasphemous, and that’s a stretch because he never talks about the religious criminality of drinking coffee?

Why do you think I would offer a video to people about decaf that I didn’t watch? Hint: I don’t hate decaf coffee.

Yikes this is getting drawn out and silly, eh. I’ll save us some time.

You win.

But one thing that I couldn’t help but chuckle at is your interpretation of the coffee capitol point.

You live in a hockey capitol. That doesn’t make you an expert, but I bet if you wanted to buy a hockey stick you would have a number of stores carrying top gear… If you wanted to see a game you probably have a number of hockey teams from pro to amateur you could go watch live.

I have direct access to three of the top 20 roasters in the country. I’m fortunate to have access to some of the best coffee in the world regardless if I’m an expert or not.

And this is sort of the point overall… You added so much of your own arguments to my position that you aren’t even arguing with me or the points that I’m making.

I’m not hiding behind subjectivity, I was the one who posted the video “negating” my so called “opinions”. You still think I did that as a mistake. Which I think is the second example that shows you are coming to this discussion in bad faith.

It’s no wonder you recommend introspection, given you have been arguing only with your interpretation of my opinion.

I’m a huge fan of James Hoffman… I don’t think anyone alive understands coffee better than he does.

I live in a US Coffee Capital…

I make brilliant decaf for my pregnant wife.

My preparation is flawless in drip and espresso

You guys really don’t understand subjectivity or sarcasm and are filling in a ton of the blanks.

No no, that was the only reasonable part. Everything else wrapping that was absurd though.

That’s the funny thing about subjectivity right?

That’s some top shelf stretching there.

There are many ways to decaffeinate a coffee bean… Some more gross than others… All of them blasphemy.

And yes most of them ruin the taste of coffee.

Also it’s obvious you have seen this already. https://youtu.be/yYTSdlOdkn0?si=6Z1RlexQCt2I4OI9

I mean you could always substitute a witch if you are unable to source the live duck…

There are insanely unhealthy versions of pretty much any diet. I know plenty of vegans who gain weight because they end up chasing the same bad eating habits in plant form. Eating excessive amounts of fruit can still qualify you as a vegan but it won’t change the fact that you are on the fast track to diabetes. The dirtiest forms of dirty keto can lead to insane consumption of artificial sweetness or natural sugar substitutes which are riddled with their own health risks.

That said… Veganism and really vegetarianism to some degree is still a diet that people still seek for non-dietary motivations, and pretty much any restrictive diet is going to require a degree of finesse and knowledge to make sure that diet will be nutritionally sound. It’s not out of bounds to be concerned about someone you care about in those terms.

The bones are their money.

Many countries other than the US are comprised of a federation of states. And also those that aren’t are generally considered nation states or sovereign states, which are still definitively states. The United States of America do not have an exclusive right on statehood.

Plus even though it may be implied that the original replier intended the context to mean the United States of America… it is a valid response with further implication that one should check their local jurisdiction’s laws if they were so inclined to do so.
