My procedure, in my current living situation with a French press, is to pour enough water into the press to wet all the grounds, give it all a stir to make sure the grounds are wetted (sound familiar?) then pour the rest of the water over the spoon so it's rinsed.

 

Moi aussi.

Imagine all the food you have eaten in your life and consider that you are simply some of that food, rearranged.  -Max Tegmark, physicist

 

Gene Weingarten, writing in the Washington Post about online news stories and the accompanying readers' comments: "I basically like 'comments,' though they can seem a little jarring: spit-flecked rants that are appended to a product that at least tries for a measure of objectivity and dignity. It's as though when you order a sirloin steak, it comes with a side of maggots."

 

When a clown moves into a palace, he does not become a king. The palace becomes a circus. -Elizabeth Bangs, writer

I'm putting this here, instead of in the Cocktails thread, because of his approach, but it would fit just as well over there.

I've been reading about this for a while, but it's deeply unsettling to hear that these ticks have been found as far north as Maine now. NB is just across the St. Croix river from Maine, so doubtless they'll show up here over the next few years as the climate changes further.

I have to say, though the article as a whole makes for grim reading, the scientist describing this tick as "a cross between a lentil and a velociraptor" all but earned my computer a coffee shower.
