This is not a Raspberry Pi.

It’s a DE-10 Nano with a Cyvlone V FPGA.

I use it for playing retro games, but it is not like a traditional emulator.

Instead of running in software, you just squirt the hardware design into the FPGA chip. It then essentially is that chip until you reset it.

Why this instead of emulation?

Input lag, or lack thereof. You’re not shit at all those retro games you play on software emulators.

They just don’t respond quickly enough. This does.

We’ve got two ginger entities in the house.

Frankly, I prefer this one a lot of the time. He only really moans for food or to go out, so it’s a predictable set of grievances.

Queen Ginge is diff, yo.

Fuck off. You’d be off your tits on a caffeine high or you’re counting the other people in your house that share the beans.

From here…

So, an industry-standard dose for a single shot of coffee is 7 grams per cup. That’s around 56 coffee beans (depending on many factors of course).

For a 1kg bag of coffee beans you should expect to get around 120-140 cups of coffee . Based on variable data and on a standard single shot coffee .

If we’re going double shot all the way, you’re looking at around half of that at around 60-70 cups of coffee per 1kg of beans .

So assuming you have 4 shot coffee (as I do) that’s between 30-35 cups of coffee.

Or 10 ish cups of 4 shot coffee a day for 3 days.

Double your measures and you’d still be hospitalised.

I have two cups of coffee a day (any more and it’s like I’ve necked a Punk IPA) so my beans last me about 15 days - unless Mrs Bletch fancies coffee.

Black double expresso coffee and a shot off vodka morning.

Its great fun pissed and wide awake at the same time

Nb i only drink 2 double expresso a day both before 9 am and no coffee after that only when offshore to boot.

Seriously? How do you survive on only 2 coffees a day?

It’s equivalent to 4 double espressos.

Any more and I am totally wired.

One in the morning, one early evening and tea in between allows me get through the day.

:open_mouth: I get by on one a week.

Are you even human?
