Keurig? They're ok. Bought one last year for my mom and use one at work.
Wanna spend the moolah and too lazy to do coffee the right way? Nescafe Nespresso is the way to go. More expensive but not comparable. Also use this one at work whenever I want something better than dishwater.

Count it as a blessing H.. you'll see.. once they start actively crawling and walking around, your life of peace and order goes out the door. In hindsight, most parents wish their kids didn't grow and develop so fast. Only dumb rice parents care about when their kid starts walking and shit, like it's a marker to their intelligence. It's not.

Baby time is special and brief. Document it as much as you can. Cherish when baby lifts their arms to be picked up by you and coddled. Soon they may reject your love and existence, because brat. You can spank this out of them, but they'll still hate you in the pit of their being until they get older. In those times, you'll miss baby time, when life was so simple.

Yeah, hence "terrible twos"...teething is apparently one of the most painful things they experience.

Costco has a decent package for it. Get a bunch of Kcups to go with it too. GF and I were gonna get one for our apartment but decided instead, we would just make real coffee using a french press. Saved a fuck ton of money and get better tasting coffee.

Kids that teeth use their teeth to not only latch (and they'll latch to anything, not just mom's boob), but they also use them to pull themselves up or keep their balance. So if some toddler comes up to you like they want to give you a cute hug... protect your nuts, guys.

I'm a virgin coffee drinker. I tried a coffee shop called Dutch Bros and have liked coffee ever since, just not ideal of paying $3.65 a day for a cup. I only drink iced coffee though...

Hey babe, what kind of coffee do you like? How about a tall strong Americano. Would you like it with a jacket, or jacket off?

Then unless you have a fine palate just get whatever cheap Keurig and never look back.
I highly suggest the attachment/cup you can buy to use your own ground coffee though to further cut down on cost. Can be had for ~$10 for the official Keurig one or even cheaper for the knockoff brands which work just as fine from my trials.
Then get whichever coffee beans you enjoy somewhere, grind them using their grinder, keep them in an airtight bag and profit.

If you only drink ice coffee, check out cold brew coffee. DIY: Cold Brew Coffee


I'm all about technology and the newest gadgets and shit.. but 150 bucks for a Keurig was stupid.. I just go to the local grocery story (Sprouts in this case) buy a pound of coffee for 10 bucks, grind it there, and then have coffee for the next month or so...

I use this French press now:
Amazon.com: Bodum Chambord 8 cup French Press Coffee Maker, 34 oz., Chrome: Kitchen & Dining Amazon.com: Bodum Chambord 8 cup French Press Coffee Maker, 34 oz., Chrome: Kitchen & Dining

but looking into an AeroPress soon too:
Amazon.com: Aeropress Coffee and Espresso Maker: French Presses: Kitchen & Dining Amazon.com: Aeropress Coffee and Espresso Maker: French Presses: Kitchen & Dining


End of the day, still cheaper than Keurig; especially the new ones that FORCE you to use their specially branded K-cups (they actually put a DRM on their labels so their machine will deny all other cups) . This company has broken their DRM though: https://www.gourmet-coffee.com/Keuri...edom-Clip.html

Can't go wrong with a french press.

Aeropress is great too, the best you'll get for the price. I had a la Pavoni lever press for my espresso and I was in heaven. Until my roommate tried to operate it and scalded his face with steam after not screwing the lid properly....

Enjoy your rasp.


also I meant to say thanks for Flatbush Zombies - MRAZ suggestion. Great song in the gym. Didn't think I'd like it this much but it grew on me.

You're welcome man, Thug Waffle is also the shit at the gym, the beat and chorus always makes me want to go that much harder haha

As for rasp, well I'm thinking of going with a vibrant resonator or a maganflow race reso, which should tame the PCD beast. I'm more concerned about the smell than I am the noise/rasp tbqh. I was actually thinking of maybe going with a Random Tech race cat (its 100 cell count) to fix the smell issues, and probably the rasp as well.

Oh, if you're going with a resonator I wouldn't worry about it.

Wouldn't bother with the 100 cell cat either... at that point might just want to straight pipe it.

Yeah, that's what I was thinking as well, although the STi and Evo guys seem to like the race cats. I'm not too concerned about being catless, especially since Ontario emissions is all OBD2 readout as far as I can tell, and with the defoulers on the PCDs I should be able to pass with no issues (or at least I think )

We don't have emissions here, hence why IDGAF. Smell isn't super nice but not noticeable unless you have windows down I believe.

QC doesn't have emissions? Shiiiiiiiieeeet I want to move lawl.

Been watching some videos and doing some research on turbo setup design and I can definitely see why the TL is a pain in the ass to turbo - the lack of space (especiually on the 5AT) and pre-cats make it kind of a shitty proposition

EDIT: I should say any and all future for the TL performance wise now hinges on Swoosh selling me his ECU
