Legal Eagle now has a video discussing Elon Musk suing the lawyers involved with the sale of Twitter to him. [![](https://img.youtube.com/vi/Ko8C3surjhM/maxresdefault.jpg "Elon Sues The Lawyers That Forced Him to Buy Twitter") ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ko8C3surjhM) It’s a really interesting video, and Devin sure doesn’t seem to be Elmo’s biggest fan. ---

Aside from the advertisements for his legal services and his sponsors, this guy appears to have the highest information/time ratio I have ever heard. He speaks fast, for sure, but he speaks well. ---

> [@squeegee](#): > > My understanding is that cone filter coffee makers require less coffee than common flat-bottom “Mr Coffee” Joe DiMaggio brewers. That may account for our difference in use of grounds. In any case, I use 2 heaping + French or Italian dark ground coffee, and my coffee comes out plenty strong. > [@pulykamell](#): > > I use cone filters for my pour-over, and that’s what we used at the cafe, as well, for drip. I wish I had your efficiency for the style of coffee I like. One tablespoon per six ounces is about as light as I like it–two is more my speed and what I’m used to from coffeeshops. Some of those coffee quantities sound really odd to me. I usually just make one mug at a time using a Melitta cone filter and Melitta scoop which I would guess to hold about a tablespoonful. Two **heaping** scoops is my minimum for good strong filter coffee to make about a 1.5 cup mug, if using finely ground filter coffee. My last coffee purchase I was too lazy to go to my usual place where I get my favourite beans and grind them fine in the store. I just picked up a bag of McCafe pre-ground, which is a coarser grind really intended for percolators. To make a decent mug of filter coffee, I use two overflowing scoops and then add another half scoop. But I do like my coffee strong. ☕ And now, back to hating Elmo! ---

> [@Kurt Vonnegut](#): > > He had a penis eight hundred miles long and two hundred and ten miles in diameter, but practically all of it was in the fourth dimension. Interesting thought. In the fourth dimension, the overall size of your penis is effectively a measure of how much space your penis has moved through over the course of your life, multiplied by the physical volume of your 3D penis. That could imply that the more you sit around and do nothing, the smaller your penis is, and the more you move around and visit new distant locations, the larger it is. That said, Earth itself - the thing that we’re all sitting on - is moving in a corkscrew pattern through space so we’re all basically moving equally as one another regardless of how physically mobile we’re being relative to one another. So that would put the main differentiators as the actual penis volume and the length of your life.
