For the last few months, I’ve been splitting a bag of coffee beans into 2-3 portions and freezing them. I’ve seen that it extends the freshness by a bit. Now, I’ve been storing them in older coffee bags (the standard sealable ones) since they take up less space than jars and also I’m just reusing something that...
I was recently at a party in Vermont where we pressed apple cider, so I was casting about for cocktail-with-cider ideas, and found this one from liquor.com: the Autumn Apple. It’s very approachable and refreshing, though I downed the honey and upped the bitters to make it a little more complex (in my opinion). It got good...
This was exactly what I needed to see. Had some honey syrup on hand and wanted to use it in something and it ended up being the perfect drink for a fall night
Even though the writers strike that crippled talk shows has lifted, the three co-head writers for Drew Barrymore’s daytime show have declined to return, sources close to the production said....
Last time, the shows went to air without the writers. IIRC the way it worked was that they did away with sketches and monologues so there was no writing, basically just interviews and improv. Leno did write his own monologue at one point, despite being a WGA member and deservedly caught shit for it.
Letterman and Conan paid for the writers salary out of their own pocket for the duration of the strike.
SNL and Colbert set up live shows to raise money for the striking writers.
All of this was done in solidarity with the writers, which were never replaced or supplemented throughout the entire 08-09 strike.

I’m often in longer telephone conferences and like to play relatively uncomplicated, mindless games like 2048 or threes. Both of these are getting pretty boring these days, so I’m looking for new games.
Infinite Loop (∞ Loop), Flow, Desert Golfing, Simon Tatham’s Puzzle Pack, and various card games are some of the games I play just to kill time or keep myself stimulated while listening to something.
I am looking for something I can run on a Pi that gives me access to my private audio library plus Spotify, because I hate switching apps. I want to access it from a desktop and Android. Does someone have something like this set up?
Like another commenter said, Mopidy can do it all in one instance. It works, but I personally find its integration with MPD clients to be a bit clunky so I don’t use it all that much.
Personally I use Snapcast as an endpoint, plain MPD for local files, and navidrome for remote access to my library.
Snapcast supports Spotify endpoints, so I just switch to my Spotify stream when I want to listen to Spotify and to my MPD stream when I want to listen to local stuff.
This is more of an ecosystem than a single solution though, so it may not be what you’re looking for.
