Sure, I get that about automation and fragility and buying parts - but the espresso people are less "buy a receiver at the pawn shop" and more "my diamond-encrusted cable really allows me to HEAR this section of Pink Floyd's 'The Wall' for the first time."
Mostly no. The difference between the espresso you get out of a top-quality commercial machine like a La Marzocco and out of a substandard quality home machine is enormous. There are pricey but not insanely pricey home machines where you can get pretty close to the Marzocco quality with the right technique. And certain factors in making espresso are pretty well-established -- pressure, temperature, grind, tamping (not to speak of the beans themselves). The best machines are simply able to produce the appropriate pressure and temperature consistently, which is surprisingly difficult. Other bells and whistles can make a difference -- the bottomless portafilter, for example, but there's a pretty commonsense reason for that one -- in a normal portafilter oils from the coffee build up and are hard to clean away. The bottomless portafilter simply eliminates that problem.

So the idea is that if someone is derisively called "politically correct" presumably because they are unnecessarily touchy about things. This displays a lack of self-awareness because if you are upset about someone being PC then you are being unnecessarily touchy imo.

Sports writing is and always will be terrible, because sports contests are extremely rule-bound and essentially near duplicates of one another in everything but the outcome of each contest. All the possible stories have been written hundreds of thousands of times. Consequently, sports writers are stuck in horrible dead end jobs they often become wretched unhappy people.― Aimless, Thursday, May 7, 2015 10:01 PM (15 minutes ago) Bookmark Flag Post Permalink

They just need to dig up the Bible verse where Jesus says it's ok to hate people and mess up your home if there's money in it.

That would require actually reading the Bible, it's way easier just to not read it and carry on being human garbage.
