They've evolved to do it with fish, a rabbit is basically a land fish

Seriously though, they don't have teeth and unlike raptors don't have talons to grip their prey to tear it apart, so they have evolved to be able to force impressive things down their oesophagus. They basically break it down in their stomach and then crunch up the remaining bits in their gizzard. I don't think seagulls can puke up their gizzard contents like birds of prey, so it probably won't be pleasant for it passing those remaining bones through. But as it's a seagull it'll probably poo poo it on my head anyway

There are bascially two price ranges for really good coffee:

<100 for a good hand grinder and an Aeropress / french press / pourover. Quick, easy to clean, cheap, lasts forever. Coffee nerds who own expensive espresso machines usually also use this stuff.

>1000 for a good electric grinder and an espresso machine

Between that you have lots of mediocre fully automatic machines, lots of plastic, pressurised baskets, milk foam "helpers", drip coffee machines, etc.
There are good options in that price range but it feels like the wild west.

If I'm desperate enough for good coffee that I'd need a £1k plus machine to sate my needs. I'm desperate enough to walk down the road and get one from the coffee shop.

This is pretty much how I feel about the whole thing. I appreciate a good coffee but not a grands worth

a grand is a bit steep for an initial outlay but if you're spending £3 on a coffee from a shop every day it'd only take a year to pay for itself so I do understand why people do it if they really like coffee.

One of my co-workers got a vertical mouse due to persistent wrist problems and said it was really great, and really helped her, but took a loooooong time getting used to it after years of using a regular one.

The only acceptable coffee drink is iced coffee. Blended ice, none of this 'poured over cubes' nonsense. With cream on the top, and possibly grated chocolate.

Oh and it also has to be 25C+ and sunny.

Or just use coffee to flavour cake/chocolate/other dessert.

Smoking-quitting aids are awful. I bought a bunch of stuff that arrived Sunday.

Put a patch on my arm Sunday night before bed and woke up this morning with it lying wrinkled up on the floor beside the bed, since it seems the designers didn't anticipate movement.

I got 4 packs of lozenges that you're supposed to rest in your mouth when the craving kicks in. I tried one and it tasted of burning and made me violently sick and I ended up smoking a few menthol rollies just to get the taste out of my mouth,
