To me it seems you're implying that temporary and conditional equals to shallow and meaningless. I do not think that is the case. In the end human life is temporary, so absolutely all relationships will end one way or another, that is an inescapable fact. It doesn't make them automatically lack depth and meaning. They can still give you experiences of genuine connection, exchange of ideas and chances for reflection.
Having people to talk to so life feels less empty or repetitive, to me, is worth the investment it takes to maintain some friendships/relationships. Filling the silence can sometimes be enough. And I like the silence. Just not all the time.
Some people have chosen a different path and I'm sure that hermit life can actually be deeply fulfilling and meaningful. However such people don't usually go around social media looking to contact other people, so I doubt you are such a person, but obviously I don't know.
Some sort of sleep paralysis maybe? Some people hear noises and/or experience strange bodily sensations during them, I believe. Quite normal, albeit unpleasant.
Sounds like some weird channeling problem to me. You could try going coarser, like others have suggested (since you prefer pressurised baskets) and try a needle distribution tool to even out the coffee grounds before tamping. Also there is no need to tamp it with excessive force, especially with a pressurised basket.
I will have to disagree. I think what you find intuitive and obvious largely comes down to what you're used to.
I have very limited experience with Windows, although I did have Windows 3.0 PC in the 1990's. Windows at that time was basically just a graphical shell on top of DOS. As an OS my system was running DR-DOS, which was basically a DOS compatible CP/M. Rest on my 40 years of computing history has been mostly with either CP/M or Unix-like systems.
With this background I find Windows systems (yes, modern ones included) to be incredibly unintuitive and difficult to maintain. I don't understand their logic and I find it annoying having to navigate through endless amount of dialogue boxes to accomplish a simple task that would require one command on any Linux.
My point here is that while Linux users perhaps indeed are in their own bubble, so seems very much to be the case with Windows users too. There is no basis for thinking that Windows is somehow inherently easier for everybody. It is not. It's just what large amount of people are used to, and exrapolating from their own experience (not at all unlike Linux users) they assume that the same perceived easiness must be true for everyone.
The fact that friendships rarely last all life doesn't make them any less valuable. I honestly don't know any of the friends I had back in school anymore but they were important to me back in the day. Now different people are important.
I don't think it's just convenience that draws people together, although that probably plays a role. Instead people tend to gravitate towards other people with similar interests or compatible views on things. As these are always in the state of flux for every individual, it's perfectly natural that people around you change too. It makes little sense to forcefully try and maintain relations with people who live in a completely different world and whom you share nothing with. It's often better to just gracefully let go.
And about precious solitude, yes please. Social life is demanding. Definitely need to charge my very limited social battery with the quality company of no-one but myself.
Defenestration business is definitely blooming.
Those russian windows seem to be really dangerous. Must be a serious design flaw. No wonder their window export business is non-existent.
Idea of a cat sized elephant is much more comforting than vice versa. That would be scary as hell.
With nazi-german tech, which Americans conveniently seem to always forget to mention.
Must be all that dihydrogen monoxide.
To be honest I kind of like doing laundry and dishes. Done right they are forms of art too.

Yep, definitely not enough room. That's it.
So basically Marseille soap for guys and ellaborately coloured and scented liquids in funny shaped plastic bottles for girls?
--Edit--
Also laundry, so 7 in 1.
Of course not and I didn't mean to imply it would. Evilness of mega-corporations shouldn't be a surprise to anyone, though.
Commercial company wants people addicted to their product. Noooooo, surely not...? /s

The guy in the illustration is kind of bottom heavy.

Science!
Looks beautiful, nevermind the mess :D
