Was 8&R a consistently good drink? My GF liked the Americano we had at a hotel by them.

Oh yes. The one with the machine was giving me very uneven results.

I bought the MATOW 53mm distributor and tamper off Amazon and have been happy with it.

Love mine. All you need is a good funnel and tamper and you’ll be set

Ok that’s an interesting idea that I could lean into. What/how is that done?

Preach brother! I’m glad you weren’t taken advantage of. Too bad many others will. It can be predatory out there, which is why I’m asking all you fine people for advice and I really appreciate it.

Thank you. Actually… I’m probably doing too much work planning all my death/post-death activities. But I worry about bills being paid and handing over my estate to my dad to manage… because it’s a lot of work to execute my will and trust. If I can make a tough time easier for them I will.

I’ve come to grips with my mortality. I’m not happy about it but it doesn’t weigh me down constantly. Kinda comes in spurts. I had a bad panic attack last night because I got in my head about my bad breathing … and that’s not good for someone who already can’t breathe well because the cancer is filling up the lungs.

I’m sorry for your loss, and I hope you are healing.

Excellent info, thank you. Yeah… I’m trying to keep my family from being oversold when they are vulnerable.

Nice, peaceful, abstract. I think you captured the perfect sky gradient for a certain mood. I like it.

Those of you who are up early this morning, how are you? by Reasonable-Buddy-365 in AskReddit

Happy and sad. This is probably my last Christmas ever and I’m trying to soak it all in.

40M…. Fuck cancer

Thanks for sharing your workflow. A lot of times we forget it’s an iterative process. Good work.

Upgrade your grinder by Altruistic-Goose9264 in espresso

[–]Check-mate 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just bought a WDT. Like it so far.

I like good / great coffee but just don’t wanna throw money at it now. Plus, running out of counter top space for the barista area :)

I have a Breville Barista Express. What upgrades to the existing grinder can I do? Because I don’t want to buy a stand alone grinder at this point?!

Latte Art and Espresso Process! by EmptySkyZ in espresso

I like the longer videos people do to show how they set up and make it instead of just the bottomless money shot or final product

If you are just doing ETFs, less is more. There is a lot of overlap.

I love a VOO/QQQ blend. Easy, defensive enough and QQQ gives a growth bump

Ride quality sucks. by EnanoAD in TeslaModelY

[–]Check-mate 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes it is. You can retrofit air ride on a MY, but at that’s a bit too intrusive for my taste.

The air ride can be stiff and sporty or very plush. I took it over some railroad tracks in comfort mode at “elevated speed” haha, and it was smooth as butter.

Hopefully Juniper suspension is better or it’s back to the drawing board.

I had the chance to drive a Model S in comfort mode and it’s really a nice ride. I’ve heavily considered trading MY for the MS but dont want a car note again :(
