wcSyndrome

Apologies, I meant that I wanted to know how they came to the conclusion that climate could be affecting the prevalence. I'm not denying their claim, just curious what evidence they have.

I may have missed your quoted section because I opened the link on mobile and couldn't stand how disruptive the page was without ad block.

Interesting speculation but wish there was a bit more information in the article. For anyone interested, this particular species of candida is considered highly dangerous because it is resistant to most of the antifungal medications we currently use

As someone who played and enjoyed most of the PS exclusives, +1 for the take. What games do you think are "the best ones"?

I have also used a French press with success. I recently picked up a cold brew carafe that's a tad more convenient as you can remove the grounds without having to pour the cold brew into a different container.

I'm still pretty new to cold brew but I've been using medium roast and have been using the most coarse setting on the grinder

There's a few for me but I'm going to go with A Knight's Tale and The Other Guys. Can't get enough of those 2

I can't personally recommend them yet but I've read great things about the lock on "magazines" (they look more akin to coffee table books) and have a set in my cart that I'm going back and forth on

Guilty pleasure one for me is burn notice. It's so over the top but so much style and coolness

That's not the conversation you initially raised but sure we can talk about that too. What they did was despicable and yet kotick is still there, and I want him and the others responsible brought to justice. He stands to be paid out millions when the merger is completed and that is rewarding him rather than punishing. The pessimist in me says that he will find another company somewhere willing to hire him because look at the disgusting things he's gotten away with and subsequently rewarded for by being paid out. So yes I want them to be out of ABK but not with him getting another 0 in his bank account.

I very much agree competition is good but this should be brought about by Microsoft producing competitive games/services rather than purchasing more of the industry. For the record, I don't like the idea of Sony or another large corporation buying other studios or publishers either

Genuinely asking, do you think the "profiting off of users in predatory practices" that ABK does now will change unde Microsoft? I'm conflicted on the acquisition but I would be highly surprised if that is something Microsoft changes.

Personally, yeah, I would like the status quo to remain because as shitty as ABK is, I can make the choice not to support their practices by not buying or playing their games. Yes, I realize that by being acquired by Microsoft doesn't somehow allow them to put a gun to my head to play their games but it does discourage competition now that they are under the same umbrella.

Gotta be Tom Cruise in tropic thunder for me

Have you tried freezing extra/left over coffee in an ice tray and using those to chill your coffee?
