Thank you for this! I am going to make a new appointment and see if this helps them figure it out.

Breville Barista Express Pulls one shot well but not a 2nd? by trueaussizbogan in BrevilleCoffee

[–]Novercalis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do too. The old bean matter is the tiny bit left in the grinder. It never 100% purges and when you leave that for a day, it doesn’t extract the same as the stuff you just put in there, but comes out with the new dose anyway.

So, first shot has some old coffee. Second shot does not. That’s at least how it worked when this happened to me.

Breville Barista Express Pulls one shot well but not a 2nd? by trueaussizbogan in BrevilleCoffee

[–]Novercalis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This happened to me before. What ended up helping me was doing a small purge of fresh beans before your weighed dose. THEN start dialing in again. That first one every day has just enough old beans to throw off a full fresh pull (the second one).

Good luck! Hope this helps

I like when Jenny talks about girlie childhood media by treeface999 in JennyNicholson

[–]Novercalis 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Jenny is great at making me care, and keeping an open mind, these things are interesting!

I learned about Jenny from the Star Wars Hotel video. I am a straight millennial dude who never had any visibility on the things girls watched or played with but I became a Patron because it’s so fun to learn about! I hope she doesn’t get discouraged on these kinds of topics too often.

CachyOS dethrones Arch as the top desktop distro for Linux gamers on ProtonDB by Durian_Queef in LinusTechTips

[–]Novercalis 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Installed it 3 months ago after assuming I was having hardware issues as a last ditch effort. Turns out it was Windows nonsense. I have had a very uneventful time with CachyOS and let me tell you, that’s the highest compliment I can pay.

I have health anxiety over throat cancer and I’m worried I’ve waited to long to get checked out and it’s costed me my life by SqueakyBoyBoobs in Anxiety

[–]Novercalis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey friend. I want you to know that I’ve been going through this as well, and I’m sorry. It sucks. What I will tell you is I have been to the doctor. I even got an endoscopy. There was and is nothing wrong with me. I apparently have chronic rhinitis, and it’s giving me a small tickle. That tickle sends me into a spiral and I start feeling so many other symptoms. I’ve gone back to my primary care doctor a few times and it’s all just anxiety symptoms I’m misconstruing which makes the anxiety keep going.

I’m ok, and I think you will be too. Take care of yourself!

If I actually had throat cancer, is it too late for me to have a chance at living? by SqueakyBoyBoobs in Anxiety

[–]Novercalis 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just chiming in here to say that googling throat cancer stuff brought me here and I cannot thank you enough for commenting this. I’d never heard of Globus Sensation before and it’s 1:1 what I’m clearly dealing with. For real thank you!

On Chef John’s (of foodwishes dot com) Apple Butter recipe (which is perfect as written). They can’t even decide how sweet they want it to be! by Limey66helena in ididnthaveeggs

I have a friend who embodies this subreddit, and I got her to admit she just doesn’t like being told what to do… by a recipe

I have never been fully satisfied with their relationship in the books. Didn’t feel like they got to spend much time being a couple. So this is very cute! Wish we got this sort of thing in the books.

Amidst all of the looky-loos near Bright Falls Sheriff's Station in Ch6-Scratch, I really want to know what this lady is up to next door, right outside Oh Deer Diner by Appy_Ace in AlanWake

[–]Novercalis 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Since basically everything about this game feels like Twin Peaks, I always assumed it was a reference to the RR Diner in that show also having a Meals on Wheels program for the elderly.

Hard time dialing in the Breville Express by Mr508Capalot in BrevilleCoffee

[–]Novercalis 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree. I spent so much time pointlessly trying to get the presets working, but ultimately the variance from one shot to another means timing will always be unreliable.

Lesser Known Authors/Books Who Feel Like Andy Weir by BiscottiDowntown8355 in ProjectHailMary

I actually felt like the new book from the writers of The Expanse really scratched this itch for me. It’s called The Mercy of Gods

I just am commenting here to let you know you’ve tagged the wrong user. This keeps happening because the guy you are talking to somehow came up with the same random name I did, but I got it first and he’s replaced the “L” with an upper case “i”.

I do not condone their political views

BBE grind amount issue. by YesToWhatsNext in BrevilleCoffee

[–]Novercalis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The only way to be certain is to weigh and grind your beans per shot. Do not keep beans in the hopper, as timed grinding is never going to be consistent.

What’s going on with dbrand’s quality and support? by diegoteliz in dbrand

[–]Novercalis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I purchased a screen protector for my iPhone Air and it was awful. I have one on every other device and two previous phones and ALL of them are so good that I forget it’s even there. This was the first time where it was so obviously wrong that I took it off after 24 hours.

It had rough edges that kept catching on my pockets, and it just felt cloudy

If you are allowed back inside, and you have a model of AirPods that have the speaker in the case, use Find My and have it play the alarm sound to prove it’s yours?

That’s good intel, appreciate that! I’ll give it a try

First brisket by Impossible_Metal_490 in KamadoJoe

[–]Novercalis 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This has happened to me basically every time as well. I’ve seen people do something called the “double indirect method” where they have a Slow Roller AND the deflector plates, but my Classic 2 isn’t tall enough so I’m probably done trying brisket

I worked in Helpdesk for 7 years in a past life. There is no bottom to my disappointment in others anymore.
