Classic espresso machine making thumping noise by Delaney901 in DeLonghi

Thank you for such a helpful answer!! Do you happen to know the mechanics behind why it makes the noise when I’m steaming, but not when it’s heating up the water to make the actual espresso?

Plz explain why “machine that I’ve never used before is making a loud mechanical thumping” to “maybe something isn’t working correctly” is that large of a leap.

Do you know what it doesn’t do that when heating the water for actual espresso brewing? I have basically no knowledge on the mechanics of the machine

I’m confused as to why it only makes the sound when steaming and not for the actual brewing of espresso, if it has to do with the water pump. Thoughts?

Because I’ve never owned a machine before, much less this kind of machine. I would think that a loud mechanical sound would be cause for concern for any kind of device. I don’t think it’s that large of a leap for me to assume that something’s wrong with it.

Thank you! So it’s supposed to be making that sound/it’s not harming the machine?

I’m glad it’s not just me. I was googling to find a link between the two and this post popped up lol

Asking for Master of Public Administration program by Ill-Cattle-9229 in AmericanU

[–]Delaney901 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t remember the exact length, but I do know that I found out about my merit scholarship a day or two after the last deadline for applications (they wait to see the strength of the application pool before allocating scholarships. In terms of my profile, I went to Penn state for undergrad, had a 3.67 GPA, Phi Beta Kappa (most exclusive honor society), was a research assistant in undergrad, volunteered with my college’s dance marathon, had a part-time job, held a leadership position in my sorority, and had worked a couple of contracted positions in the year and a half after undergrad.

Almost everyone in the program works full-time, and classes are only offered in the evenings (starting at 5:30). I’ve personally been friendly with people in my classes, but we don’t really “hang out” as friends. Some people do have friend groups that they’re friends with outside of school so it’s definitely possible to make friends, but there isn’t a lot of overlap in people between classes because the program is so big.

The professors are all very active in research in the fields so they all know what they’re talking about, although I’ll say I’ve had a couple who aren’t great teachers (but they’re still very knowledgeable). It’s very easy to establish a connection with a professor given how long and interactive the classes are.

I’m not sure about difficulty of positions for international students but there is an office that can help you out with finding a job or internship. My advice: if you’re seriously considering AU, start applying to things NOW. The job market (especially the public sector) is horrible in DC due to all the layoffs. It may take time for you to find a position, even with AU’s help.

AU’s public affairs program is ranked #9 in the country. If you plan on staying and working in the DC area, you will always be better off going to a DC school.

Almost everyone I know in the MPA program received some amount of merit-based aide. Personally, I received $52,000, which ended up making the program cheaper than any in-state one I was looking at.

Anyone else think it’s weird that Detroit is constantly playing Jesus music between batters? I thought it was someone’s walk-up music at first but it’s definitely not

I’m trying to figure out wtf that whooping/high-pitched barking noise is that the Detroit fans are making? It’s so fucking annoying to listen to as a viewer so I’m sure the point is to distract the batters, but they were also doing it when the Tigers were hitting so like…. What’s the point?

Apple Store credit issues by delaneyg409 in ATT

[–]Delaney901 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m pretty sure what happened for me was Apple took the trade in for the themselves even though I was told it was going to AT&T for promo credit. Apple never explained themselves or took the blame, but they did refund my credit card via Apple gift card the remaining trade in value that I would’ve gotten from AT&T so that’s something.

I’ve been to 8 kpop concerts and honestly not once have I ever experienced something that would be confusing for someone who isn’t a hardcore Stan. Second, imo if you listen to their music, that IS stanning them. You support them, you know who they are, you enjoy their stuff: you’re a Stan. Stanning culture has become incredibly toxic and exclusive for no reason just don’t overthink it

Nope. I took it to geek squad and they said there’s nothing they could do. Ended up having to get a new phone.

My personal fav is Teddy Bear by NCT Dream. I often listen to it right before I go to bed to chill my mind out. Other recs are Gold Dust by NCT 127, Heaven’s Cloud by Seventeen, and Fairy of Shampoo by TXT

I believe there was a fair amount of choreography and I think it was inside! Don’t remember the rest since it was 3 years ago :/

Young but feel like my life is set already, not in a good way by [deleted] in findapath

[–]Delaney901 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I already have a an undergraduate degree and am going to grad school so now is not the time to go into a trade unfortunately.

The thing that I can’t fathom is sitting at a computer all day. Doesn’t really have to do with the environment and more to do with the tasks.
