How do you like to brew it? I use a tea strainger-cup and pour-over until it fills up to the grinds, then soak for 5 mins and remove the grounds, add maple syrup and milk (or powdered coffee mate).

Sliced ginger, cardomon, clove, or even black pepper (depending on the roast) can make a great brew as well! But cinnomon is the best! Spiced coffee is the best!

Absolutely spot on, to further that observation; I think most bad behaviour comes from believing that people cannot change, where hatrad is a reflection of resistance to self-growth, forming a rigid identity. Inflated egos happen the same way, from the need to be something, without changing.

Hey, that's very insulting to the hike-able landfill we have in Iowa, www.solidwasteagency.org/mount-trashm... Mt Trashmore is a lovely place :)

I'm so tired of people misunderstanding the task at hand. It's important that Kristi Nohm lied about senator Pedilla identifying himself. It is far less important that he was handcuffed, MAGA enjoys cruelty. stop ASSUMING they know they are being lied to! Revealing the dishonesty the way out!

Everyone from law enforcement to parents, bosses, and teachers, Sometimes mistake a challenge to their authority as a challenge to their survival. As if their subconscious mind can't tell the difference between a loaded gun or a deflated ego.

How long will it be until someone can declare: "Your crazy! and your friends are intentionally confusing everyone... get out!" It always gets worse before it gets better! Impeach POTUS now!!!

Imagine complaining about Latinos being in a city called "Los Angeles."

Do you know Fred, and can attest that this is out of character for him?

"Considerate Mindset" is a better term to me than "Growth Mindset". Mostly because intelligent people also do dumb things, but they are known for their smarter ones. They consider their actions and and further the brighter ones. They're also considerate, holding onto mistakes makes people bitter.

Reapectfully... I voted for dems, but a lot of people voted to burn down a world that left us behind. It's amazing how it feels to grow up in an area that feels like America left the building in the 90s. Iowa nice, let a lot of people get elected, who don't really represent the people.

Working together can be messy, what may be getting lost is that the "prove what you've done" is usually a trap. We've all done a lot and working together will (eventually) need to be less competetive. I may be digging to hard into semantics here, but objecting to explaining myself was calculated.

I'm more than curious why you are comfortable telling people to "mind their own business" on a public thread. If you've come here to converse, please provide more of your perspective, and it's background.

It's worth noticing that nothing I posted was personal, I strongly emphasized less comparison in the form of "nothing new" or "show me what you've done". There is more here that I'm after than squabbling. Status quo mindsets develop among people who don't see the difference.

Why? You think we exist to explain ourselves. How about this: You win! You did more! You did it for more time. Hope that's enough. Now stop making demands and saying "nothing is new"
