Definitely far-fetched! But who knows, maybe it’ll work out 🤷‍♂️

Another commenter below got me thinking, maybe you could try putting a V60 filter inside one of those metal mesh filters. Might not get quite as much filtration as the thicker Chemex paper, but you wouldn’t have to use two filters for every brew, and it would support the filter and keep it from breaking. I also think there are thicker V60 filters out there, so you might be able to get pretty close

Part of the reason I’m so hesitant to buy a Chemex is that the filters are comparatively so much more expensive than others, and there doesn’t seem to be an acceptable, affordable substitute (I recently bought 600 filters for my V60 for just a little more than a single 100-count box of Chemex filters!).

The only reasonable competition out there seems to be the Lardera filters, but that company is based in New Jersey, so those also don’t fit your criteria.

I’m not 100% certain about the dimensions of a Chemex, but I wonder if it would be feasible to stack 2 V60 filters together to achieve the same effect as the thicker Chemex paper

I’ll occasionally see decaf options from places like Tim Wendelboe, Nomad, Kawa, etc. The issue is they don’t have a varied selection of decaf beans, usually just one or two options

Yes. All of this!

Also, DC has been voting in presidential elections since the 60s. They don’t have representation in Congress, however…

HamStudy is the best one. The app cost a couple bucks but the mobile site is free

Also, I don’t agree with the OP and think it’s fucking dumb, but let’s not forget that “retard” used to be a medical term as well

I mean, sure. As someone who recently went back to school and is around a bunch of PhD and PhD students, they’re really, really smart… about their specific area of study. But more than some of them are fucking stupid when it comes to other, normal things

Not necessarily, a PhD isn’t a medical degree

Sometimes I really dislike being in Columbia, but seeing views like this make me take a step back and appreciate it for what it is

A slightly easier way to think of this: leap years happen every 4 years, except that we skip one every 100 years (those that end in 00) unless it’s divisible by 400. So we had a leap year in 2000 because it’s divisible by 400, but 2100 will not be a leap year.
