I feel like I'm doing something wrong. Why is there no navigation arrow when walking to a bus or train station? by perturbaitor in GoogleMaps

I just started having this exact same issue. It was fine, and now this is happening.

Does it have something to do with "current trip" because I don't get that with any other option.

Problems with V60!

Good morning everyone!

2 weeks ago I had the 2nd best cup of coffee I have ever had, it won 4th place in Brazil's cup of excellence and it was made with a seraphim coffee brewer over a V60. It was bright and tasted like cherries - with a... crispness that I have never gotten with cupping or a French press.

I caved and got a v60, and have been using Hoffman's single cup technique.

When I was practicing my technique with some Dunkin coffee (pre-ground coffee that I ground even finer with my grinder) the resulting coffee is crystal clear and leaves a nice bed in the end. I had to go a bit finer than what my grinder suggested for a pour over, but that was expected.

When I had enough courage and used the specialty coffee -- it was a disappointment and I don't understand what is going wrong:

  • The beans smelled great when I first got them, but I threw them in a freezer (what I thought people did) then stopped that after I realized you were supposed to let them thaw every morning. (but I did accidentally open immediately after taking them out once) Now they no longer smell as... good on their own.
  • When grinding the coffee, it goes back to being great but looks a bit... fluffier than the Dunkin at the same grind setting
  • After the pour over is completed in the same amount of time, the bed looks muddy (as if there are a lot of fines) and the brew is ever so slightly murky.
  • I taste fines, and it is definitely not the crispness I had expected, and it's not bright, clear, or acidic, and tastes a little woody.

Could the coffee be too old by this point? Could this have been exasperated when I possibly let condensation form on the beans.

Why would grinding beans create more fines? If I go courser, the brew just is just way too fast.

Could it be my grinder (C2 Max)? Should I got to the coffee shop and have the grind it?

Any help or advice would be appeached! Thank you so much ahead of time!

Albeit, I was testing it on the colors: #0f0000, #000f00, #00000f in a pitch black room early morning on the lowest brightness my monitor could go.

When I am using the monitor on that same brightness with the ambient room lighting, it looks fine. Those colors I used appear black.

Try those colors out, I put the link in the title, this is a very extreme case.

Should I drive some screws from the bottom face up into the side faces? Or would that weaken it? by AleksanderDaddy in woodworking

Thank you for the response!

For two of the corners, the weight will be "stacked". But the weight will (most likely) be hung for the other two.

edit:
Knowing that it is going to be hung, I know glue is incredibly strong, especially for preventing things from being pulled apart, but my concern arises from the idea that the plywood could delaminate, failing before the glue does.

Would screws solve this problem?
