They get the job done, but they just aren't as convenient as pre-filled k-cups. Pre-filled you just chuck it in the keurig and you're gtg. The reusable cup you got to get out all the grounds from the previous cup, they usually don't just fall out, you may have to scoop it out, then rinse it, then make a mess pooring the coffee grounds in. The trick to make it not so weak as someone else posted is just give it a few light taps on the counter so you can get more grounds in.
Its really not that bad, but usually I'll stick to the pre-filled cups for when I'm on the go and use the reusable cup on the weekends.
Since I like my coffee to look like motor oil I got pretty quickly out of the K-Cup fad. The coffee was always too weak for my liking. So I just bought a thermal carafe for my drip maker and I have a cup in the morning, fill a cup leaving for work and have a cup when I get home. Still hot when I get home.

Bros, just bought a belt and some holsters from Simply Rugged a few months ago. They look fantastic and are holding up well so far. 10/10 would buy again. This belt is fucking awesome, first good quality belt I've owned, definitely looks and feels better than the store-bought flimsy ish I'm used to.

In regards to belts you can actually make your own quite easily and it will be of higher quality than basically any belt you can buy unless you're dropping like $150 on a Tanner belt. Dying the belt can be a bit of a pain but isn't too complicated. You can buy all the materials and assemble it yourself for like $25. I've made my own belts for a few years now. It is also nice since it is custom made for you it doesn't require 5-8 holes in the belt. Just the one. So you don't have excess length or excess holes.

Read this the below link for anyone that cares. (no one really, but I'm bored as fuck). I care less about the physicality of putting needle to groove. And Vinyl seems to color the music more according to the engineer, than what he wanted it to sound like. Plus like I said...we arent talking MP3's here. 192K or better.
Also a lot of it is space requirements. WTF you put 20k albums?

Do you make ice cream that can be put in the freezer and eaten the next day? I like homemade ice cream but in my experience it always has to be eaten immediately because if it spends the night in the freezer it turns into a giant ice cube. I listened to Alton Brown's podcast on ice cream and he talked like you could make stuff at home that could go in the freezer but I have never had any. He also said that hand crank ice cream makers were better because the electric ones start to slow down when the ice cream starts to thicken and that is when you should be speeding up. I would think that the kitchen-aid would be better for this than most ice cream makers just because that is a pretty powerful motor compared to what you would get in a cheap ice cream maker, but I don't know.
