It's not about the time and money I saved by not having to go to a cafe, its about having a great supply of coffee available for the day.
I always look for Stanley's at garage and estate sales. Bought my oldest new 40+ years ago. I have six others now that were $5 or less.

I fill 5 gal bottles at a water store. Some of the 12 bottles I use are 30 years old. My kids and their friends grew up drinking from a water cooler at our house instead of sodas or juice.
When I started buying in 1993, my treated municipal water sourced from the Potomac river had a chlorine taste that seemed more noticeable in the winter. I now use unfiltered tap for coffee, tea and cooking, and barely notice any chlorine taste.

Gold recovery from scrap circuit boards and electroplating solution. I worked in a PCB shop until 1998 and have a small collection of scrap that I would like to process.

Eh, yeah - the article starts off pretty specific but then gets into the weeds of stuff like how to put your PC together, which is far from novel information and certainly not on-topic in my opinion.
I sent the article link to my son because he does not have experience building or assembling hardware or installing or using Linux. Also took the author's ChatGPT prompt and changed it to ask about reusing two HPE ML150 Gen9 servers I picked up free. I think my son will benefit from the details in the article that many find off-topic.

It would be nice if the President signed an executive order that tariffs companies 1000% for off shoring tech work.
These folks are stealing our jerbs.
