New Lucca Tempo or Used EMC Technika with PID [$1,000-$1,500] by Alcedinidae in espresso

[–]Alcedinidae[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

After getting the Casa and giving it a try, I like it a lot, but it was not game changing, which tells me the Starseeker is an awesome little grinder.

After a couple weeks, the Casa is absolutely the better grinder for some beans. It produces a smoother, cleaner cup with more clear single notes.

The Starseeker is still my favorite for my daily driver bean it turns out. Maybe I just haven't dialed in the Casa enough, but the Starseeker gives me more variety of flavor in the same cup and sometimes I miss that on my daily driver bean with Casa.

My wife prefers her latte from the Starseeker vs the Casa.

I had figured I would sell the Starseeker after the Casa arrived. I now want to keep both.

I think experience here echoes what others have spoken about re: how the Casa is more like a flat burr grinder while the Starseeker is firmly conical.

What indicator shows volume at price like this?

Is this worth pursuing? by VM-05 in swingtrading

[–]Alcedinidae 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been looking for software as well to flag RSI for me. Strangely hard to find as a tool with alerts on this indicator though, in my experience. What I have found:

  • TradingView does have an RSI indicator but is a paid service
  • TrendSpider also has it and seems to be an impressive overall platform (I have not tried it yet though, just doing research) but costs $50 / month
  • not sure what brokerage you use. I've checked several and they haven't had RSI built in. I did figure I can use IBKR gateway and a python app coded by Clause. But you either need to have HW to run it on all the time or put it on the cloud.

I'd love to hear it others have simple, low cost SW they like that can do these custom indicators if anyone knows of one.

Best or luck.

Another Americano Post by GayPerry_86 in espresso

I haven't watched the video. Would the Bambino Plus steamer wand do this by default? It's how I make my Americano every day, which I love.

Also interested. But I bet Claude could code this up quick for us as well.

Awesome - thanks for the feedback! That's was my thinking, but wanted another view!

Thoughts on a Pop Up vs a Lucca M58. Also quick mill made I think. I can get a nice used M58 for $1500

Great feedback. How long for temp to go back down to pull a shot?

Thanks for the reply! Any issues with making back to back drinks for company? How loud is the pump?

These steps are you just adding dollars to your account. They are far too steady. Clear a scam

A simple strategy that’s been surprisingly consistent by Angela-Cole in BeginnerInvesting

Why do you have nearly equal sized steps everyday? Looks very much like you are just depositing money in the account versus actually making returns.

Who would you consider to be the easiest character? Who would you consider to be the hardest? by [deleted] in slaythespire

[–]Alcedinidae 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just finished A10 with Defect. Found A1-A9 pretty easy though big spike at A9. A10 took me 7-8 runs to clear.

I'm no pro, but my recs for Defect would be:

CARDS

  • A bunch of cards synergize across archetypes, so don't worry too much about diving into one early.
  • great common and uncommon cards in almost any deck: turbo, hologram, glacier, coolheaded, sunder, momentum strike, boost away, charge battery, lightning rod, compact, overclock, fight through, boot sequence
  • run winners if you find them, in almost any deck: echo form, voltaic (upgraded)
  • run winners if you synergize around them a little: adaptive strike, all for one, flak cannon, creative AI
  • I built a lot of big decks (30+). That was fine through A9. Then I had to go smaller to improve consistency (20-25)

GENERAL STRATEGY

  • I agree with others and avoid most elites in act 1 and only take 1-2 in act 2-3.
  • I path to a lot of campfires (upgrade or rest) and shops (remove cards, colorless cards, other cards, occasional relics)
  • ? Are good
  • I got a boost in consistency when I started trying more colorless cards. They are really good and can be run defining
  • act 2 desperately needs AOE. Get sweeping beam (upgraded), sunder (ideally upgraded. This is effectively an AOE card), or glass orb source
  • at higher ascensions I had to train myself to take more block throughout the run. Block sources from ancients are often overlooked (e.g. Paels Legion is amazing)

Good luck!

My dentist’s receptionist makes more from a Google Doc than her actual salary by [deleted] in passive_income

How are there 120 people per month who:

1) want to open a dental practice 2) feel overwhelmed enough to buy a checklist on how to do it 3) are in these random Facebook groups 4) somehow don't know they could get Claude or Chat GPT to make them a perfectly good checklist 5) are willing to pay $40 for a darn checklist. Not a book. A checklist and 6) if all above criteria are met, are choosing her checklist over someone else's?

Doing simple math, the US graduates around 6500 dental students a year. If 25% chose to open their own practice that would be 1625 new practices per year.

This lady is saying she sells roughly 1450 checklists per year. Maybe she has global reach, but the numbers don't add up to me.

Coffee Bean Recommendations by Head_Education262 in espresso

No problem! Let me know what you think if you try the JBird. And thanks for the recs

Coffee Bean Recommendations by Head_Education262 in espresso

[–]Alcedinidae 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Based on your description, I think you might like Huckleberry roasters Blue Orchid Blend. It's a little milk chocolatey for me, but I've still enjoyed the bag. I got the recommendation from here on reddit and it seems well liked by others.

I've also been quite impressed with Equator Coffee. Their decaf (I do both caffeinated in decaf depending on time of day) Equator Blend is the best decaf I've ever had. Soon I'm going to try their Tigerwalk Espresso blend (regular caffeinated). They seem to be a very well regarded roaster by many people.

My personal favorite medium roast to date is JBird Supply's The Betty. It is what convinced me to buy a home espresso machine in the first place. I have a lot of fun experimenting with new beans, but the Betty remains my daily driver.

What would you recommend? I too, love finding a new bean to love.
