As I found out from YouTuber NileRed, raw coffee seeds don’t taste like coffee at all. It requires very careful roasting to chemically convert the seed into coffee.

To quote the great 20th Century philosopher John Michael Osbourne:
It’s not how you play the game,
it’s if you win or lose
You can choose, don’t confuse
Win or lose, it’s up to you
2·1 month agoI have a 27 year old LCD that would still be great but the fluorescent tube that backlights it has dimmed. It’s on my trash pile of projects to fix it with an led strip.
Your family is very techy and it makes sense that they’d be knowledgeable, but the point of the meme is that there was a generation that grew up with tech that kinda worked most of the time, forcing them to learn how to use it to be effective,
The problem is their dates are off. Home Computers went mainstream in 1977 with the Apple II.
The PC revolution started with the Apple 2 in 1977. In the early 80’s everyone had a Commodore 64. By the mid 80’s everyone had a PC. If you were born in the 80’s, you were not editing autoexec files in diapers.
Barry Leiner wrote about how Gore helped get the Internet started:
"The Internet Society hosts a monograph called called “A Brief History of the Internet.” (See http://www.isoc.org/internet-history/brief.html) The authors include some of the designers of the essential components of how the Internet works today: Barry M. Leiner, Vinton G. Cerf, David D. Clark, Robert E. Kahn, Leonard Kleinrock, Daniel C. Lynch, Jon Postel, Larry G. Roberts, and Stephen Wolff. The paper notes these key milestones in Internet history
Note that these authors of (and participants in) Internet history state clearly that as early as 1988, then-Senator Gore became involved in the goal of building a national research network. We’ll examine his role in more detail later."

“We don’t think, as some people have argued, that Gore intended to claim he “invented” the Internet. Moreover, there is no question in our minds that while serving as Senator, Gore’s initiatives had a significant and beneficial effect on the still-evolving Internet. The fact of the matter is that Gore was talking about and promoting the Internet long before most people were listening.”
- Vint Cerf and Bob Kahn
I worked for Vint Cerf. I later started my own ISP. I know the history of the Internet because I lived it.
I quoted Vint Cerf. What do you have to support your claim?
Al Gore never claimed to have been the founder of the Internet. Vint Cerf and Bob Kahn both defended Al Gore against idiots like you.
Rush Limbaugh was on the radio daily in the early 90’s calling Al Gore’s information superhighway a Democratic Boondoggle. Republicans were fighting to kill the Internet. Al Gore was fighting since the 80’s to fund it so it could grow into something bigger than a research network.
If Eisenhower can get credit for the US Interstate Highway system despite not pouring a drop of concrete, then Al Gore gets credit for the Internet.
I dated a girl in college whose dad was one of the founding creators of the internet. Unlike Al Gore lol.
Bullshit. If her dad was one of the founders of the Internet, you’d know that the Al Gore meme was a Republican smear campaign.
I worked for Vint Cerf in the early 90’s. This is what he wrote to defend Al Gore against the Republican smear campaign:
Arch promoters are the worst. I believe anyone suggesting Arch to convert people are Windows/Mac marketing. If you already use Linux, then Arch could be useful for you. But anyone even remotely new or experienced but more interested in using their computer rather than configuring an OS shouldn’t get an Arch recommendation.
Why are you being so wordy!
“Aaappom. BU and now you need TK to understand WTH someone is TA.”
Where did he get them???
You asked for sources and I gave them. You lost and you’ve been outed as a Trump apologist.
You keep claiming bad faith when I addressed your arguments directly.
I think outing a Trump apologist is useful.
You threw out the term Great Man theory without even understanding it.
I’ve refuted every single argument with sources and you keep arguing.
I stated the fact with sources: Cults have an evolutionary basis I stated the fact with sources: Cults tend to die when the leader dies.
You have nothing in reply.
I believe you push Great Man Theory into arguments even when it doesn’t apply to absolve Trump of any responsibility.
Evolutionary justification for cults:
Cults tend to die with their leaders. I’ve listed many of the cults that died in this thread. Cults surviving the death of their leader is the exception.
What’s nova?
