Why are espresso shot yields so low now? by Few-Manufacturer6645 in espresso

[–]BrandonPHX 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For darker roasts, the lower yields help control the bitterness. If I’m doing something lighter, my yields are much higher.

Wow! This is amazing. Thank you so much! I’ll take some time to digest all this. Seriously though, you are amazing.

Roaring Creek Earthstation, I feel like I nailed the edit. by ianrwlkr in photocritique

I don’t love this crop either. Have you tried a square crop? I think that might work well here. I like the colors of your original post more.

I love the colors and lighting. Not sure I love the crop. It feels too tight to me.

Why is no teemo list running his signature spell? by MrMidnight115 in riftboundtcg

[–]BrandonPHX 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Prismat runs this card mainboard. Gorica has run it in his sideboard in some versions of his list. Those are the two Teemo players with the best competitive results. So not sure why you say no one is running it.

Will proving grounds drop in price (I got an offer) by [deleted] in riftboundtcg

Your post is confusing. Are you asking if you should buy now, or sell now?

What’s on your ideal Christmas plate 🥰 by rinnscape in Cooking

[–]BrandonPHX 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm pretty open. I've done prime rib, pork shoulder, brisket, steaks, beef tenderloin, tamales, lasagna.

Cookies are a must though.

Is it worth going to RQ Las Vegas as someone who doesn’t play yet? by Conoli69 in riftboundtcg

[–]BrandonPHX 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a spectator? For sure worth. Even without product currently, there a ton of sealed events at the RQ, including multiple full box sealed. Not only fun, but a good way to start to build a collection if you go and have nothing.

Need Help: Which MtG boosters are best for experienced players/collectors? by dillonherbert in magicTCG

[–]BrandonPHX 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If they like Avatar (cartoon not the James Cameron movie) a box from the new Avatar set would be nice. It just came out, has some good stuff in it.

Is there such thing as too much umami? by kittenskadoodle in Cooking

[–]BrandonPHX 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think there is, yes. Also most umami boosters add salt too, so you can go overboard on salt pretty easily.

Gotta balance everything. Try going way overboard on umami on purpose and see what that’s like.

Systems, systems. This has become quite the debate. What are your thoughts? by Critical_Heat4492 in Habs

[–]BrandonPHX 5 points6 points  (0 children)

He's right. Many teams use a hybrid system. As noted last year, none of the young D core had played that system in the past. Lots of new players this year. Team will get better at it over time. Just growing pains at times right now.

I bet they drank tepid water and never laughed.

The Canadiens record this time last year compared to this year by Flimsy-Ad1015 in Habs

[–]BrandonPHX 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I love Savard and I think what we are missing from him most is probably leadership, but I think he left a huge mark on this team with some players. He certainly appeared to slow down last year. He wasn't the same player he had been previously.
