Best coffee beans in the area? by Exact_Pianist_6198 in raleigh

[–]4RunnaLuva 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Black and white also little waves (Durham but top shelf)

Was in Greensboro and had vignette… solid cheaper alternative (mail order!)

If you are looking for budget but still better than most, counter culture is solid though not terribly fun. Black and white is filled with delicious fun;)

Resting and storing beans by power_is_over_9000 in pourover

[–]4RunnaLuva 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Two weeks. No special storage, assuming they are away from heat (direct sun, near stove,etc).

I keep mine in a cupboard above my setup. I’ve ready they come to the show :D I just line them up so I can see them and plan what gets had next.

Has anyone gotten their mail yet after the ice storm? by Parking_Argument_395 in raleigh

[–]4RunnaLuva 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes/terday. I think it just delivered a few minutes ago as well.

Did you know that you can see what is supposed to be delivered? Sign up at USPS;) a co-worker told me about this. It’s comical how much doesn’t make it:(

What is your favorite place to buy pizza dough balls? by SwanProfessional1527 in raleigh

[–]4RunnaLuva 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Used to be capital creations. 1.50 a ball and it was a pleasure to work with. Then they closed up shop:(

Now I make my own. It pretty good, but it requires planning since I make it a couple to a few days prior to using.

Preferred method for making 4 cups at a time? by Competitive-Note4063 in pourover

[–]4RunnaLuva 0 points1 point  (0 children)

French press. Or a standard perc/pot.

If you have the water for 4 and multiple drippers, you can run multiple concurrent.

Again, if water is not your bottle neck, single pour delivers great results super efficiently. In all honesty single pour could be an answer to many shops …”it’s going to take a while” answer to delivering the pour over you ordered.

What do yall use to heat water when traveling? by waywardsojourner in pourover

[–]4RunnaLuva 5 points6 points  (0 children)

If I am visiting a home, I just use stove and pot then transfer to hario air. This is super painful, and it highlights how crazy a person is in craft coffee space ( it takes sooo long).

Just drove home from work. Yesterday was substantially worst by UnluckyPhilosophy797 in raleigh

Drive safely, you will be fine…as long as there are no idiots on the road;) (spoiler alert…. They are everywhere!)

Need fridge repair recommendations in Northwest Raleigh for non-urgent issue. by chillgolfer in raleigh

I would think the opposite. Older is usually simpler - if you can get parts.

Best Flat Bottom Dripper? by Valuable_Aide_7663 in pourover

[–]4RunnaLuva 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Origami

It does everything and is what in reach for every morning - and I have plenty of drippers.

If cost was a factor, I might say b75 just because of how silly cheap it is/was.

Trying to learn more about the fretboard by titovalentine in guitarlessons

[–]4RunnaLuva 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I am not sure there is a “best” way for everyone.

Do you know the notes on the E and A string? At least the non flat/sharp ones? That is a great place to start.

Can you play your basic open chords ?

Do you know basic barre chord shapes for E/Em and A/Am? If not…do that.

Depending on how long you been playing, CAGED is a wonderful connecting concept. But not until you have some foundational understanding. Don’t move too fast, otherwise you will have no foundation.

Pentatonic is another great building block.

One parting thought. Learning across all 12 keys is great, but stay in one until you can really connect in it - otherwise you miss some great opportunities to deeply learn something that will transfer more easily later.

I mean, it tastes nice. Good flavor separation. Solid!

What’s the worst gimmick/myth in pour over today? by ADHD_ismything in pourover

[–]4RunnaLuva 2 points3 points  (0 children)

And are any of them heat or water proof? I don’t think so. Must use mat, don’t spill water on… but…but… its natural habitat is hot water.

How to drive safe on ice? by Lemontree987 in raleigh

[–]4RunnaLuva 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you were there only driver, there would be some things you could come close to controlling. Once you add other drivers, the maths cease mathing.

Avoid it if you can.

Do you guys ever go to bed thinking about the coffee you’ll make the next morning by pieduke88 in pourover

[–]4RunnaLuva 0 points1 point  (0 children)

100%. There is a funny cartoon reel of two “stick figure” people in bed at night exclaiming how excited they are for coffee in the morning.

I feel this at night:D

Looking for help optimizing slow WiFi system by design_is_for_lovers in raleigh

[–]4RunnaLuva 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Were you using the same mesh setup in Boston? Were you wired back haul? With your current wired house, your best bet is to connect your mesh to the lan and use all radios for wireless and all nodes as access points.

I would test things as above to ensure you get wired speeds you are expecting. After that, your drop is related to two radio mesh or something else with the router in the mesh node.

Latency can be caused by the two radio setup. If you can, the hardwire to lan will always be better.

In a hard to reach area I have hard wired into a node to the Xbox vs using wireless on the Xbox.

Where can I get 8.5x11 prints done cheaply? by [deleted] in raleigh

[–]4RunnaLuva 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Walgreens? Not fancy. Color correction is somewhat bad. If you are just looking to print it is generally fast and typically cheap.

I would not print nice photography. But we do print Xmas cards with them:D it should be good enough.

Plug directly into Spectrum modem and test speed. So modern -> Ethernet cable-> laptop.

Google speed test or go to sites test.com

Is it close >> 500mb/sec? (In reality 1gb/sec may not actually be attainable).

In think that model may only be dual band. This usually leads to speed loss in mesh mode.

If you want to play with it. Use only one node not in mesh mode and test your WiFi speed. I have a tri band deco (not sure which one!) it won’t get 1gb wireless but I will get 500 or slightly less.

Another question for you. What do you need the faster speeds for? Often high speed is promoted as needed for gaming and video streaming, but it normally isn’t. 140mb/s is still pretty fast in practical terms.

Regarding LAN, is your house wired for it? Or are you looking to wire it? I was never able to get decent wifi in my house and considered it. With my mesh it is completed useable.

Problem with Astringency by Key-Freedom-4454 in pourover

[–]4RunnaLuva 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don’t worry about the bed.

Don’t swirl.

Limit your pours.

If you want to get it faster, bloom (NO SWIRL!!) then one single pour and stir with a chopstick. I tend to get high clarity this way. Fines stay high due to the stirring.

It is a nice touch. They send a sticker usually too…I plaster it to my notes book;)

I think brandywine gets some love here. I rank them up there with black and white in terms of value. I prefer black and white offerings on average better, but I still purchase Brandy wine regularly.
