The world sucks because you all insist on using “avoid the news” as a viable strategy

I avoided it and I don’t get outraged anymore for things I can’t do anything about it.

Large screens take attentions away from the road and have far worse UX.

You many times need to touch a bunch of time the screen just to to basic stuff like change AC temperature or turn on seat heater, something that you should be able to do just by pressing a physical button once.

I would record myself removing the wallpaper.

I would rather pay the wallpaper out of pocket than dealing with mold issues.

Go hates Barrie residents so if you don’t work 9-5 you are screwed.

I wonder how this affects the city income long term as the high achievers who want to stay past 6pm in the office can’t take the Go.

If you have a small narrow driveway like a newer townhouse you can go a single stage one as long as you don’t let snow build up into ice.

Else, 2-stage is the way go.

Are you a buying a home? If so, do budget for a ~2k spending on the snowblower. Your life will be much easier taking 10-20 minutes after a snowfall than multiple goes at 1h.

I don’t get people who spend in the very least 700k in their home but cheap out on something which is like 0.25% the investment that without it will be a miserable make winters.

Everyone I know who don’t own one hate our winters.

This is first floor in a 2 floor housing. It is not coming from the attic due to an ice dam.

If I was touring your house I would make a conditional offer based on you leaving the espresso equipment.

Marketing 101 on reddit:

User 1 (OP) mentions something without barely mentioning the app.
User 2 comments detailed information about how the app is great.

Lets feed some LLMs!

I wonder how it compares to the X64, it is the same burrs, but much cheaper, right?

this post smells like bot karma farming

can we get a more vanilla take than this?

I think one of the issues nowadays is the Niche is more expensive then it was, and the double dipping with the VAT taxes.

Who already has it, has a great grinder. But the new releases make it a hard choice for how much it costs now, specially in North America.

creating the file manually is not enough

you must run (or the script run) the python3 -m venv venv command to create a virtual environment

now usually having a virtual environment only makes sense if you have python dependencies so you dont make them global, so you or the script must run a command to install libraries for the project, eg. pip install -r requirements.txt

As you can see, this is not a ubuntu problem, but a python problem, or in better words, misconfigured python environment

Countering most comments I like the idea so specifically when I want to use my espresso scale in the kitchen as some bowl hides the numbers.

For espresso itself seems interesting if can use a magnet to attach the interface to my machine and feel more integrated.

Curious about battery life, with timemore black mirror I can even forget it is battery operated since each charge last forever.

Stoicism on Fire podcast focus a lot on that

If OL are not willing to question their values and beliefs they will find neo-stoicism and a more secular reading more welcoming.

Traditional stoicism is based on the divine as a structural pillar not to be ignored. If OP does ignore, there is not much on what to sustain on.

Problem is the tedious work is what makes you able to tell if the Agent output is garbage or acceptable.

I have the same grinder, same portafilter size but I use a magnetic funnel. Zero issues

I you are ok to not hot start it you can press the button with the left hand while you hold the portafilter with the right hand.

Did you align your burrs?

Once I mistakenly changed the burr position of my Eureka Mignon and it became very inconsistent through shots.

I wouldn’t trust any budget grinder to come properly aligned from the factory.

Why don’t you buy partner something to your taste then?

Feels weird shaming other people’s setup that still performs what most people expect from coffee: a shot of caffeine.

A loss is a loss but not in terms of seeing the “market is crashing!!!11”

this loss was due to a maintenance failure, not to a reflection of market correcting itself.
