Good! If you are wondering what this looks like in practice, I booked 3 flights this year with Ryanair and EVERY single time my tickets (directly purchased from their site) were flagged as "made through a third-party travel agent".
The "verification" workflow is super obtrusive: either pay them to use facial recognition technology or do slower verification (which I assume would be too slow if you saw this last minute). If you missed the email, you'd end up having to pay 55 eur to fix the issue. I was able to complain to customer service but it was definitely incredibly user hostile, intrusive and just ridiculous given that I booked directly via their site.
> Dear AAA this booking, AABBCC, appears to have been made through a third-party travel agent who has no commercial relationship with Ryanair to sell our flights. Therefore, Ryanair has blocked this booking.
> As third-party travel agents often do not provide Ryanair with the correct passenger email address and payment details, we need to verify a passenger's identity before they can manage their booking and check-in online.
> Ryanair needs to carry out this verification process in order to ensure we can comply with safety and security requirements.
> Once a passenger on the bookings has completed Ryanair's verification process, we will provide full access to the booking, including to the ability to make changes to the booking, add additional services, and complete online check-in.
> Express Verification is available at a cost of EUR 0.59c per booking.
> This fee covers the cost of the verification. Ryanair does not benefit commercially from this. There is no charge for Standard Verification.
> Passengers who do not avail of online verification (Express Verification or Standard Verification) to verify their bookings can verify at the Ryanair ticket desk in the airport, however they will be charged an airport check-in fee of up to €/£55.
In the past year I switched to a mason jar pouring spout that has a built in filter that's at the right granularity to filter cold brew as you pour it into a glass:
That saves a bit of effort since the cold brew gets filtered when I pour it.
As far as how I prepare it:
I add a bit shy of 1/2 a cup of ground coffee per 64oz mason jar, mix vigorously and let it sit overnight (less than that and the flavors aren't quite yet there).
I don't proactively filter out the coffee grinds since the built in filter takes care of that. When one jar starts to run low, I start another one.
If you're willing to wait until Electron releases a Chrome 59 -based build, I'll be updating https://github.com/mixu/electroshot which handles screenshots and print-to-PDF along with a bunch of other niceties.
I wrote one of these for fun a while back using the following approach:
- Files are indexed by inode and device, files with the same inode + device are considered equal. (My main use case for this was to bundle up JS files.)
- Files are then indexed by size; only files with the same size are compared.
- During comparison, the files are read at block sizes increasing in powers of two, starting with 2k. The blocks are hashed and compared, and if they do not match the comparison is stopped early (often without having to read the full file). If all the hashes are equal, then the files are considered to be equal.
- Hashes are only computed when needed and cached in memory. Since the hash block size increases in powers of two, only a few dozen hashes are needed even for large files (reducing memory usage compared to a fixed hash block size).
If you need static export, I wrote a project a while back that converts markdown to static output with Ghost theme support: https://github.com/mixu/ghost-render
