Fahrenheit. So roughly 4.5C.

The bone chilling part wasn't due to necessarily being cold, moreso due to the wind, location, and attire that generally isn't meant for the cold lol.

I use myanonamouse. Had to back then, none of the public trackers were good. Sounds like they might be better now though. MaM is the only private tracker I'm on.

I mean there was no party for his. Also only like 40 people. His soon to be wife convinced him to use the money he'd saved for the wedding on a down payment for a house.

My sister had a wedding at the start of June and it went surprisingly well. The only aspect they skimped on was not hiring a videographer, so I took that role. Despite having a job to do and being nearly rained out of a outdoor wedding, the stars aligned. It went well. I think it was definitely cathartic to me after the first immediate family wedding. My other sister had one in March but that was an elopement and it was miserable. Outdoor ceremony in 40 degree bone chilling weather.

Anything immediate family is pretty much competing for worst ranking, simply because of how much extra effort it is.

Out of 6 siblings, 3 have gotten married. Worst was the first, my brother. I was a groomsman - 1 out of 7, there a were 7 bridesmaids as well. A huge wedding party. Photos took -forever- and happened before the ceremony. It wasn't too hot, but another groomsman (my other brother) ended up fainting (locked knees). We recovered from that. Later on, about an hour into a hour and a half ceremony (ridiculously long speeches) another faints. We're all suffering because we're standing for the entire ceremony.

Then it's finally over, but like any good wedding they had to sacrifice on one aspect. - they hired catering from a friend of a friend, and the caterer's crew were a no show (apparently they didn't check the address when they agreed and when they checked and saw it was a 2 hour drive they just didn't show up). So we all stepped up to help.

There was other shit too but despite outwardly going well that wedding gave me trauma.

Best would be my close friend's wedding. Just a ceremony and photos. Indoors as well. Easy.

Did they decide having police cordon off that lane was too much of a hassle?

Edit: found a few articles - guy in the bucket is OK. He went really still after that so I was concerned.

For those types it feels like a broken record. Some part of them wants to understand and be challenged but their pride/programming overrides it and they get stuck in a loop for stupidity.

Some are just assholes. I blocked the person earlier after they they asked for an explanation about why Trump's policies on immigration are any worse than Obama's saying they were genuinely curious, after I responded with as objective of an explanation I got hit with the "oh honey that's wrong" lol.

If you've seen the controversy around this guy in other circles (I'm thinking of that satire game creator who got harassing by Pirate Software and his fans) this wouldn't really be a surprise and would be on brand.

TIL about sealioning. This happened to me the other day in-game. Though it only got 1 rotation before I blocked them. Not about to waste my leisure time on this.

I switched a while back, but grew frustrated with most of the solutions. Apparently while my music is on Spotify, some of it isn't in the MusicBrainz database, so automation and tagging/sorting tools just crapped out. The solution of submitting the data just wasn't work I was willing to put in (the guide on making a submission alone was too much).

Ultimately I did most everything manually and got a workable solution, but without added variety I lost touch with music and stopped listening all together over time.

I've migrated my Firefox profile to multiple different computers and even from Firefox to Floorp. No issues. It's also something I have backed up to my NAS daily since it contains everything - just plop it in and I've got everything the way it was before.

2 and a half minutes for just the shot. Turn on scale, drop beans in into I get the dose I want, chuck beans into grinder, slot dosing cup into holder, hold button into beans are ground, attach dosing cup to portafilter, tap a few times, remove, tamp and level, shot!

Now the rest depends on if I'm going hot or cold. If hot, double prep time from 2.5m to 5m. If cold, add a minute.
