That's fake. If it's not in a Turkish cezve it's not really Turkish coffee.
You have a point.

Speaking of tomorrow... My Cryogrip should be here today!
I almost bought one but I already have two. You got a great price!

I had to look it up lol, looks like the mat for 3d printers.
Plate. The correct term is "Bed Plate."

You're lucky I like you or I wouldn't have corrected you and just let you continue running around sounding like a moron.

Sorry to disappoint but I left it for Keith purposely. I figured I'd get my monthly good deed out of the way early this month.
