<p>I like my aeropress, and used to use it with beans from my local roasters.<p>But as of late I've switched back to just making regular ol' drip coffee in a cheap coffee maker with Chock full 'o nuts coffee.<p>As easy as an aeropress is compared to other quality brewing methods, I still find the drip machine much easier -- load up the filter and water, walk away, come back and pour a cup. (Plus, I can't seem to get my aeropress not to also pee down the side of the mug as I press it down)<p>Somehow, my coffee experience hasn't degraded at all. No, it doesn't taste the same, but to me it's still totally fine, and almost always a better coffee than the drip I get from most coffee shops.<p>Amazing coffee in an aeropress is just a white whale for me.</p>

<p>AirBnb and friends could not exist without the basic tech. they're tech doesn't need to be groundbreaking, but in the very least they're an e-commerce like platform of sorts.<p>At WeWork tech is so secondary to their requirements. Sure, they can make it more and more required -- just like fridges do these days. But for WeWork the tech is about as necessary for you to derive value as a touchscreen on a fridge is necessary for you get get value from the fridge. _Just because it relies on technology doesn't make it important to it_</p>

<p>> engage auto-pilot for "non-interesting" tasks.<p>Routine is useful. My life is full of mini routines, although not necessarily making as cohesive as a picture as they could, there are certainly plenty of gaps.<p>I have a bad problem where things go to shit if a normal "auto-pilot" task of mine has to changed.<p>Simple example, I always have my keys in my pocket, I feel for them as I walk out the door. They're there, I continue. Same thing with my truck (it has manual locks) - I feel for the big plastic on the key, then close the locked door.<p>However, when leaving the house without pockets (in dirtbike gear), there is room for things to go wrong for me.<p>I can't just check that pocket. So I either have to replay putting the keys in my bag or not be lazy and check the bag.<p>I've had to learn to not be lazy and require physical proof... because last time it turns out they were indeed in the bag, _but the bag was in the house_.</p>

<p>I thought the 7.3's were supposed to be super solid?
How many miles does it have, what's wrong with it?<p>My extremely limited knowledge of diesel engines is something like "they go a ton of miles, then need a major overhaul, then go a ton more miles". If you're at some kind of major overhaul milestone, then I could see the response you're getting.<p>'99-ish Ford kicked off the Super Duty series, but it isn't sufficiently interestingly old to a lot of people, so I can understand their the why-bother attitude.</p>
