I have been making french press every morning for the last 4 years and I'm sick of it. I would like to push a button and get 1 cup of coffee because it's just me. I haven't gotten one of these machines because of the environmental concern but I would like a review site to tell me if the reusable pods are any good. Presumably, that is within their mission.&lt;/p&gt;</description><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">overandout</dc:creator><pubDate>Mon, 09 Aug 2021 12:24:07 -0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Re: If I Care About the Environment but Am Also Lazy, Should I Get a Nespresso or Keurig?</title><link>https://thewirecutter.com/blog/nespresso-or-keurig-better-for-environment/#comment-5487691020</link><description>&lt;p&gt;I clicked eagerly, because this is something I have been wondering for the past few days. I make french press but it is annoying and I am the only one who drinks coffee in my house. But instead of a detailed article reviewing the reusable K-cups and Nespresso pods out there, I got this entirely useless 5 paragraph essay.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Please review the reusable cups and pods, this is a product review site, isn't it?&lt;/p&gt;</description><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">overandout</dc:creator><pubDate>Mon, 09 Aug 2021 12:20:56 -0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Re: Biden Picks Openly Gay Former Richmond PD Chief to Run Customs and Immigration</title><link>https://sfist.com/p/9e2ae4cf-2d94-4ce1-a654-b964c3787f82/#comment-5341620058</link><description>&lt;p&gt;What is wrong with shaming johns?&lt;/p&gt;</description><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">overandout</dc:creator><pubDate>Tue, 13 Apr 2021 16:56:56 -0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Re: Ferris Wheel Approved to Stay in Golden Gate Park Until 2025, But Two Supervisors Push Back, Call for Board Vote</title><link>https://sfist.com/2021/03/04/ferris-wheel-to-stay-in-golden-gate-park-until-2025/#comment-5293524234</link><description>&lt;p&gt;Idk you saying 'middle america noob transplant' makes you sound like a middle america noob transplant.&lt;/p&gt;</description><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">overandout</dc:creator><pubDate>Sat, 06 Mar 2021 02:02:05 -0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Re:

Was PG&amp;amp;E (or SCE) doing a bad job of buying? No. The main problems were with delivery. And that's not something that a bunch of random city government hires can do with stolen city budget because it's actually difficult, even though a city's competence should be in public works and not power buying.&lt;/p&gt;</description><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">overandout</dc:creator><pubDate>Thu, 11 Feb 2021 12:00:23 -0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Re:

Merrin points out that he doesn't need to be on this quest. He says himself that the lightsaber doesn't make the Jedi. He lost the saber because he was so haunted by his failures of the past. Also its written in the logbook that Merrin is just seeing more of the galaxy before going back to Dathomir.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Lastly, I think this is a problem of people wanting the Jedi to be better than they are. The order fell for a reason. Cal spent his entire childhood fighting the Clone Wars. Why are we expecting him to solve problems outside of his lightsaber anyway? I think that's what this game was about and why his force vision and the ending are important.&lt;/p&gt;</description><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">overandout</dc:creator><pubDate>Sat, 30 Nov 2019 14:38:03 -0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Re: California’s Hidden Housing Crisis</title><link>https://www.citylab.com/equity/2019/09/affordable-housing-fresno-california-home-real-estate-rent/598840/#comment-4639529367</link><description>&lt;p&gt;Ok but they're all here, can't put them back in.
