Ever the innovators. Just not how we the consumers envisioned it.

Bind your torrent client to the VPN so that doesn't happen. Qbit has an easy enough interface to figure out how to do it pretty easy. Plenty of guides a quick Google should return

Not a toggle but my 4a slow charges over night when I have an alarm set so the battery will reach full just before the alarm goes off. I've woken up in the middle of the night before and sure enough the battery was only at 70-80%. I know its not quite the same, but it is a welcome feature

I use PIA currently because it was cheap and I wanted something easy to use mostly for streaming reasons. It's fine, not great, not awful. Connection drops more than I would like. I attribute that to Comcast knowing their IP addresses and dropping traffic in an attempt to catch any leaks. They got bought out by an iffy company not too long ago, and I plan to move to mullvad once this sub runs out

Dodi repack is up. Anybody getting anything from IGG or any of the usual names deserves what they get imo. Dodi/fitgirl repacks or go next

For what it's worth, while most of what you said is accurate, espresso contains considerably less caffeine than people tend to think it does. What makes espresso so intense on that front is the concentration per volume, and how fast espresso beverages are consumed in comparison to drip coffee. Drinking a 12oz cup of drip over an hour or two is pretty standard. A double shot cappuccino though, not so much.

Foxy gestures is an enormous reason why I could never swap off Firefox in the first place

I don't think it's that uncommon to sit down with a mug of coffee and sip on it over the course of an hour while working or having a chat with someone but maybe my 10 years of specialty coffee experience led me astray.

Good quality coffee should continue to develop in flavor substantially as it cools and is actually quite interesting to taste across the temperature spectrum. I'm sorry that hasn't been your experience. I do understand coffee is not for everybody, but I do believe if you have the opportunity to experience well prepared craft coffee it has the potential to change that view.

Think of cooling coffee having a similar effect as decanting wine, because high end coffee is actually extremely similar to wine. The fruit is fermented in massive containers in a very similar fashion to wine making, imparting a large volume of complex flavors. The act of roasting coffee is actually one of the most difficult sciences in the culinary world, to the point that Michelin starred chefs want nothing to do with it - it's actually that difficult to execute well. It is pretty easy for somebody to grab a bag of green coffee and absolutely destroy it. It's incredibly rare for someone to do a coffee its justice. And even then, if the person preparing it once it is roasted doesn't know what they are doing, they can take the best coffee in the world and make it taste awful.
