I 3D-printed a small stand for my #Aeropress #coffee filter, so I can more easily rinse filter papers with boiling water

The Privacy Front in the Messaging Wars – The Diff # Excellent little analysis by @ByrneHobart

The 20th anniversary of Richard Nixon’s resignation was a few months away. I decided to have … 1/ my students — Sherilyn Peek,
