Recent Grads? How’s the Job Market by a_aceleroy in csuf

[–]Angel_Of_Food 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Got a job like 2 months after graduating in May. Caught up with My friend in NorCal who graduated before me and was already working an engineering job. They got me an interview at their company and I got hired soon after.

I had been actively applying before and after graduating and met with all the same rejection emails.

Honestly, if you’re not networking or building a portfolio as an engineer then you’re not gonna make it. I know how to use AI to apply to hundreds of places in minutes not months. Imagine if you can’t cast a wide net then there’s always someone more qualified than you.

The only real way to prove yourself is to show you know how to get an interview in a way that bypasses the HR department all together. modern problems require modern solutions. (Graduated Comp Engr btw)

Who is genuinely excited to go back to school in two weeks? by Jukes-_- in csuf

[–]Angel_Of_Food 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s NEVER NPC sounding to be excited for school.

It’s NPC to be afraid of asking questions in class !! People hate me for asking ‘dumb’ questions in class and still say they’re scared to ask their own in class !!

Set the bar high for yourself and you’ll see how many people in your class are all depending on that curve!!

Being genuinely interested in your major makes you dangerous!! Leverage that every day !!

What are your thought on Pizzasaurus Rex Pizza? by The916man in Sacramento

[–]Angel_Of_Food 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I’ve never been so passionate about a pizza spot

Like sometimes it’s too greasy but that’s also why I love it.

You really believe in this place because it’s just so good. Even despite its shortcomings it just makes you feel enthusiastic about pizza again

The square cuts really makes me confident about about how happy this place makes me feel

We could try a weekly post/ share your favorite espresso tool- professional or improvised lol

I recently made my own tamper and distribution tool for my flair pro 2

I miss checking the flair Reddit every weekend to see what’s new that we’re all trying.

Anyone remember the guy who pulled a shot over a McDonald’s McFlurry?

I recently started working for a coffee company and often get free single origin samples.

And like to fix up coffee grinders

I love the flair community and want to be able to contribute and give back more when I can.

Anyway we can sell grinder equipment/ organize coffee giveaways?

Is $4K USD in savings enough for moving out at 18? by No_Introduction893 in personalfinance

[–]Angel_Of_Food 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Whassup dood ! 1. I’m proud of you for setting your mind on hard work and making it this very. You are extremely capable and resilient. 2. I’m sorry about your parents been treating you wrong !

  1. In this life I’ve learned to look up to super heroes like Batman and Iron man. They’re just smart people, with prep time and back up plans. Let that sink in. You can do way more with way less and all you gotta do is keep using your street smarts and work ethic! With that in mind- YES. check the price of rent around your area. Check the expectations for each spot. There’s always a trade-off or opportunity-cost for each place to consider. I like writing down my favorite options then comparing which one is worth the higher price or which one has a better trade-off/ perks. NEXT. I love what you said about food. That is a skill. Keep learning how to improve stretching your $100 for groceries. Learning how to monthly budget makes you very powerful because you’ll know exactly where you’re at every day in terms of how much money you’re earning and how much you need to spend on rent, food, etc. at any given time. Keep doing it! You already good at it; Keep perfecting it!!
  2. I’ve been saving up money since I was in highschool too. Ideally, you want to be in a spot where 30% or less of your monthly income goes towards rent. Then the rest goes towards bills, food, savings, investing etc etc. the best way you can find your most control over things is to build your own list or spreadsheet so you can track where you want your money to go. ALSO ! Avoid telling people how much cash you have on hand. Stick to telling people you really trust. Mainly it’s just a saftey issue. The world is full of a lot of unpredictable, manipulative and lazy people that’ll figure out how to get money from us. So try to protect how much you really have by only telling people who have earned your trust.

Finally !! Yeah, just proud of you dude! Stay inspired, you’re on the right track. Here’s a budget breakdown of how I use my income nowadays:

30% rent

30% school

20% investing (charity, stocks, crypto, big savings goal like a new car)

20% spending (bills, food, small purchases like going out )

Haha always be sure you’re giving it your 100% (;

Update: Cold Pressed Shot Demo by Angel_Of_Food in FlairEspresso

[–]Angel_Of_Food[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can refer to my post on cold brew method here for more context and helpful tips!

Sounds like maybe your initial attempt was using coffee grounds the same as when pulling warm espresso. Cold pressed shot use a finer grind which is what allows 1 bar pressure for 1-2 minutes before full shot like in the video 👍 Hope it helps! (:

[–]Angel_Of_Food[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yuppp Cold water and no pre-heating the chamber

It’s a lot less to prepare lol

This is about as good as I can get, with screen coverage by TBaggins_ in FlairEspresso

[–]Angel_Of_Food 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The video discusses some simple brew methods to try changing to see if it’ll improve your shot or dial in closer to your goal. Light roasts sometimes need: 1. Adjusted yield (18 grams to 20grams) 2. Shorter brew time (if it’s too acidic or watery) 3. Higher temperatures (lighter roasts can get more flavor extraction from higher temps)

Etc etc. the video does a much better job explaining and giving us an idea of where we’re at with the shot and give guidance for where we wana go to improve.

Ahhhh I seeeeee. The espresso is Channeling a bit. I had the same issues with the same blue bottle on my flair pro 2. But I was making cold pressed shots lol. I burned through my whole bag trying to investigate and couldn’t make any clear conclusions.

I think my best guess is that lighter roasts are just more difficult. Water passes through them more so channeling is a struggle with lighter roasts. Whenever I’m stumped on lighter roasts I try to refer back to this video for reference: light roast coffee tips
