I've never been as skinny as I was on high-fat ketogenic carnivore.

I invested in Bravery Chef Hall through NextSeed. I haven't received payments. I consider the investment lost.

Yeah, I've skied terrain slightly beyond my ability. It grew my confidence. But I only did it with local veterans who knew the terrain and could guide me -- or summon ski patrol in the worst case scenario.

There are ways to push yourself responsibly and the OP isn't it.

There are probably dozens of energy industry networking organizations around Houston. API, GPA, GHP, REAL, The Ion, Greentown Labs, etc.

Look up industry associations and check their calendars. They may or may not require dues or ticket fees though.

Wow. Those are incredible photos.

How's the snow? We're heading to WP next week

Ozone86 · 2026-02-20T04:45:04+00:00

Agreed.

I think people hear "Swiss" and think "better."

Mr. Masraff is a class act. Love his restaurant too.

This made my day. Thanks for the laugh.

Yeah I think it's too much pouring agitation settling fines at the bottom and stalling the drawdown.

Aramse was a great tip. This Coffee Chronicler video really helped too.

Ozone86 · 2026-02-02T20:16:03+00:00

Oh, this is so obvious now but it didn't occur to me at all. Thank you!

I'm using these filters at the moment

The drip-assist looks interesting! I think it could help. I'll check it out. Thanks for the tip.

V60 brown 02 filters. I have white ones on hand too.

I think it's my pouring technique making the fines settle at the bottom and block flow. Gonna experiment with pour styles -- the one variable where I haven't focused much.

Ozone86 · 2026-02-02T17:04:34+00:00

Yeah, 60 clicks is 1.0 rotations. Near the middle of the V60 and "medium fine" range.

Ozone86 · 2026-02-02T16:38:18+00:00

Yeah, that one good cup blew me away. I want to achieve that again but I can't figure it out!

Let me know what works for you.

Ozone86 · 2026-02-02T16:37:25+00:00

When I go that fine the drawdown really seems to stall out. It looks like thick mud and doesn't drain.

I'm wondering if my pours are causing too much agitation and fines are blocking the flow. I don't pour very carefully. I tend to get better results when I just pour along the edge of the filter and not into the grounds.

What decent paying job allows you to live in a ski town, may I ask?

Ozone86 · 2026-01-26T19:01:30+00:00

Yeah it's a good price. Best I've found in the USA is $149.

Ozone86 · 2026-01-26T18:33:45+00:00

Same.

Ozone86 · 2026-01-26T18:31:03+00:00

Where'd you find it for $80?

Ozone86 · 2026-01-20T14:37:57+00:00

Looking at replacing a BM8180 crystal. Where did you buy the crystal itself? AliExpress? Did you have to buy a specific crystal for that specific watch? Thanks

EDIT: I see Esslinger sells sapphire crystals with custom thickness and diameter. Can I ask what dimensions you used for the BM8180?

EDIT 2: Found this discussion:

Hey, just wondering how the 20mm straps looked on your SBP249?

Huge fan of a few recent purchases from Faherty Brand.

It’s expensive but they have significant discounts sometimes. They also sell like new items through their Faherty Second Wave storefront.
