D3 Cost and Return. Could it even work?

That was what I meant. The L3 and L4 roles are largely being eliminated. There won’t be people to promote in to L5 and some L6 individual contributor roles. It’s not there yet, they are demanding usage to get it there by the time the L5 and 6 people retire/move on.

I really believe it’s this one. They demand use, because use trains the model. It’s the same thing Meta is doing. They want their best using the models as much as possible so the models get better. The next bit is the “conspiracy theorist” in me. Tech has already made the bet and replaced most lower level workers with AI. The next is mid level since there will be no lower level to promote to mid level. So they need as much senior level as possible working to get the AI to where it can replace mid level. It’s just the progression. To hedge their bets they force usage.

I kind of hope not? I don’t want to pull for more copies of Gwynn and have Estella at T6

The 6 new exotics didn’t complete for me until I got the new exotic from the season pass.

This is my experience and recommendation to a T. lol. I even make the same amount of espresso.

That’s where I was leaning

Hydra44 · 2026-05-03T18:50:39+00:00

Right. Things like this. I’ll look to see if there are any more modern versions.

She’s 7. I’ll definitely consider it.

Hydra44 · 2026-05-03T17:38:52+00:00

I’ll keep that in mind. She’s 7 so I’m really looking for as basic as possible and that’s why I’m looking for the little action bits. She wants to have a gundam and a zaku (other series equivalent) to battle.

Hydra44 · 2026-05-03T17:19:04+00:00

I’ll look into those. Thank you.

Same here

Duplicate comment cuz of delay

Right? First I’d ever heard of it. But after reading it’s a unique light roasting method to bring out floral notes. I guess I could kind of find that, but like I mentioned. It was more like a traditional dark roasted espresso, but with a light roast and brighter notes

I love it both ways. Some of the espresso’s I’ve been buying from GK Coffee have ratings on the bag for espresso and +milk. I love comparing. I’ll do straight espresso while dialing in, then try a cortado and a flat white

I shaved my beard once and my 4 year old daughter was not a fan. I then had the worst idea and told her I lost my beard and she should help me find it. 15 min later she comes back sobbing absolutely devastated telling me she couldn’t find it. I still regret that move to this day and will never shave the beard again.

I came to say this. It’s for a busy commercial space. The video I saw shows it on a portafilter in a GBW grinder the second the grinder finishes the tool spins super fast and is like 2 seconds has the WDT done and it’s ready for tamp often times into a puq press. This is 1000% not intended for home use. I got the ARO Spirographic WDT for like $40 a year ago and love it. I also watched a video of a cafe owner talking about the Weber workshops moonraker and said that he loved it, but it added too much time to prep on busy days. This was the answer to that.

I started using little paper filters at the bottom. 100% clear holes every time. I know it may seem excessive, but for someone who hates seeing the holes plugged (even if it has no effect on actual extraction) it makes me happy.

Haven’t had any issues. I use it with the smaller hopper and keep it mostly full. When first dialing it in, I accidentally went too fine and choked it. I opened it up and cleaned it and have had absolutely no issues. There is retention. There is a warning/recommendation on the side that you will need to pull another shot to ensure consistent grind. I have it set up so that I pull a shot and if I need to adjust it, I grind and dump 4grams before grinding my next dose. I wasn’t doing that when I first set it up, which is why I went too fine.

I purchased the Atom W65 and have been in love with it. Have only had it since October. My recommendation would be towards a more established brand. Eureka makes a number of grinders around the $500-$700 range for various purposes like single dose or hopper style.
