    Italy uses medium and dark roast coffee beans depending on the regions you were in. Roma, Napoli, Milano, all have diff beans so start there and find similar beans. Then to make it, Espresso is unfiltered, high bar. But at home, Italians use Moka pots which mimics this process. There’s a couple tricks for it (like grind size), but in the end it’s not complex and the taste is there. You can find the Lavazza brand in most stores like Trade Joes, and Lavazza is also common in Italy and also happens to be made for Moka pots.

    Source: I lived there for a while and love espresso but don’t care to go through so many hoops to make it. I promise you, Italians don’t either.


















  • VSA is just like the polygraph. It’s a pseudo scientific test that really takes advantage of most humans subconscious desire to be truthful. You can’t read the graph, most regular people can’t read it either, but the police tell you this is backed by science and they just need to convince the subject they “know” they are lying so they confess. The science is weak, depends on loose interpretation of the human body, is not the same results from human to human or even same human multiple sessions. Oh and wholly depends on the subject feeling guilty and wanting to confess. Helps when they are heavy religious too.

    INAL - This internet stranger would advise no one ever willingly take a test (guilty or not). These are NOT admissible in any US court but everything you say, is. The questions asked are often leading, vague and a single “negative“ will lead to more questions.

    Source: I studied them way back as an alternative career path in 2001. Left after the first course ended where I realized these are most commonly used to evaluate sex offenders and that shit is a dark road.


  • I don’t want democrats anymore. There, I said it.

    Seriously, you’re not enough for this old liberal man. I want a safety social net that also protects our lives and every generation to come. I want FREE (paid by taxes) healthcare, education and a working wage with 30 hour weeks. Tax anyone 99% that makes more that 10mil a year. Promote business who have a human benefit purpose. Tax churches that we can prove promote hate, tax corporations that only care about profit… tax items not made to last or be recycled…

    Is time my liberal friends, it’s time we write our own project HUMAN playbook.
