Caffè d'Orzo can't be made in an espresso machine like normal coffee. If you use ground kernels, depending on grind size, It will either clog the portafilter or be too weak. Instead, most barley coffee is sold in instant coffee fo

Very nice and polished looking. Logic wise, it took me a while to get it. I thought that a bridge could be valid as long as every tile in it could be construed to form a word with the adjacent tiles. i.e. a word could be valid across bends

The piece of software I miss the most since moving from MacOS to Windows is Cheap Impostor: http://cheapimpostor.com . It lets you turn any PDF into a correctly imposed 2-up/magazine/n-signature PDF ready for printing a

Tons and tons of Movies and TV shows are streaming-only releases nowadays. Also, a bunch of old movies get restored in HD and released on streaming services only. First example that comes to mind is the classic 1993 comedy Look Who's T

JustWatch is great. There's a trend in my country (Italy) where old movies are being remastered in HD but not published on Blu-ray. Instead, they're only made available on one out of a half dozen or so streaming services. JustWatc

after about 3 or 4 iterations of me reviewing my email setting, I got seriously fed up and I've gone for the nuclear option: all my facebook emails are marked as spam and binned.

Surely more people are an asset for the local government, not a liability? You'd have 3x the tax revenue, 3x the purchasing power, plus the logistic efficiency that allows for local business to spring up and mass transportation to be v

Google Maps works just fine with the GPS from my phone's sensors, but _every single time_ I bring up the app, it asks me to enable device location and Google Location Services. I stubbornly (and maybe foolishly) keep opting out of ever

I once was working in a deli in Ireland and I got a customer who asked me for a rep (or was it a rap?). I was seriously puzzled until one of the people who was with her told me she wanted a Wrap and she was from New Zealand. Kiwi english is
