It's almost like both sides benefit from there being a camera on them.

It's almost like you don't know that Cops has been on the air for 25 years. Whether the person is innocent and being hassled by power tripping cops, or an actual "bad guy" worrying about going to jail for the meth stashed in his trunk, the very last thing on their minds is whether or not they're on video.

As best as I can tell from watching Cops these last 25 years, most of the people on cops are either (a) drunk, or (b) drunk.

or (c) on drugs.

Comment Cel Company Rights/Rental (Score 1) 89

Contact some/all of your local cel telcos.

Tell them you are leasing space for cel nodes and microwave on your tower. Tell them if they get in now, and pre-pay, they will get a guaranteed low rate for the first X years.

Bonus: After this lease period runs out, this turns into a revenue stream. Money for maintenance, perhaps even a little profit..?

Then you get to clean up both your grinder...

So you're comparing using the pre-ground coffee in the pod with grinding the beans each time you make a cup?

Couldn't I just skip the grinder, buy pre-ground coffee, and have the same quality as the pod coffee??

(...and save $44 bucks a pound!)

Downside : a normal coffee brew process generates 6-12 cups of Joe.

I guess we could all switch to a press ... but that's a bit messy and requires a stand alone heating method (I've not the space to keep a proper tea kettle on my office desk)

Keurig provides a clean single-cup solution

Unfortunately these pods wind up making your coffee cost $51 bucks a pound, as opposed to bags of coffee @ 6-7 bucks a pound.

For example, the Nespresso Arpeggio costs $5.70 for 10 espresso capsules, while the Folgers Black Silk blend for a K-Cup brewed-coffee machine is $10.69 for 12 pods. But that Nespresso capsule contains 5 grams of coffee, so it costs about $51 a pound. And the Folgers, with 8 grams per capsule, works out to more than $50 a pound.

The good news is that you can make one cup of good drip coffee with a single cup coffee filter that rests on the cup and uses regular ground coffee. They can be had for less than six bucks:
