I'm curious as to how it materially differs from weekday coffee.

I'm at work right now. Here at the WPIX engineering department, we have a Keaioureggcxxz machine, which brews consistent if mediocre coffee no matter what time. It's not the best, but it'll do.

Some of the best coffee, admittedly, is to be found here:

Two different people make it and / or it's been sitting longer since there is less people here.

Same materials, different recipe.

What kind of office coffeemaker allows for user skill to play a role in the outcome?

My #1 favorite coffee was Kona coffee. I had it when i was on Hawaii, it was awesome, it was an experience.

#2 is Arabic coffee, from the gas station run by the Arabic guy down the street. Being in the second biggest population of middle eastern people outside of the middle east i feel this is a credible opinion.

#3 Anything put through my french press.

When I was a boy, grampa used to play a game with us ever Christmas morning called "find the pickle." It involved rooting around inside his trousers to find a pickle which he had hidden there for us.

Grandma did not approve of this, but women of that era knew their place.

A few weeks before his 78th birthday, grampa had a stroke. When we went to visit him in the hospital, I smuggled a pickle into his room and hid it among the bedsheets. Grampa died the next day without ever regaining consciousness, but I like to think he knew it was there.

Question for you EEs out there.

How can you tell if a capacitor can be used for a switching power supply (in an LCD TV)? Not general purpose because it gets a lot of pulsing from the circuit it's in.

More specifically this one:
4x Panasonic FM 470uF 16v Low-ESR radial capacitors caps 105C 8mm 8x15

Data sheet:
http://files.dementtech.com/capacito...tasheet_fm.pdf

*Update* - bought it bc time constraint

A few days ago I had the urge to dump my credit card payoff savings into my former employers stock, or gamble on some options. Today they are up about 20%, and the options are up over 200%. Needless to say, I can't wait until I have disposable income again.

In other news, it snowed overnight, and this morning some jackass behind in an outback tried to race me to the fast lane straight from the onramp. Of course, he got all crybaby on me because I kept merging over using my right of way and didn't let his impatient *** pass until my right of way was dutifully respected and we were around the line of semis that way bottleneck in traffic. Eff mu Subaru and God bless blizzaks.
