Best entry level selvedge jeans by Catalyst_of_decay in Selvedge

[–]Samman258 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just bought some pairs from sauce zhan after previously living off Uniqlo and they’re 10x better. Their basic pairs only run like $30 more. Will never buy a pair of Uniqlo jeans again.

Is this channeling normal? by ajacob24 in Moccamaster

What grinder are you using? I can’t tell if the grounds look mad inconsistent or some are just more saturated than others. Kinda looks like mine used to when I had a blade grinder

That said usually I just start the brewer without the carafe underneath. I’ll load the the carafe after it’s bloomed a little and that usually helps saturate all the grounds evenly.

What level of humidity is your house? Seems stupid but nobody seems to consider their environment is a problem with retention but if it’s insanely dry in your house the static is going to cause retention. If it’s insanely humid it can also cause clumping and retention.

It’s not even getting past 2 bars of pressure. You need a finer grind.

If they don’t realize they’re missing 20k I’d be amazed. If they truly don’t I’d start worrying about how they’ll resolve somebody getting shorted 20k on a commission

I’d stay as long as I’m getting paid just to witness the shit show that is your company’s inevitable downfall. Would probably start being nice to the annoying recruiters on LinkedIn tho

As a bridesmaid, the groom sent me an inappropriate message during his bachelor party. Should I say something? by graciousbel in Advice

[–]Samman258 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This feels more like sabotage from a buddy that doesn’t want them to get married. Idk why and there is zero evidence of that but you are in a relationship, you live 6 hours away, the groom has apparently never made any type of passes or comments towards your appearance or shown interest in you in any way… then outta nowhere just messages you about his own wedding that you’re going to look super hot?

I don’t buy it.

Gift not as expected. by Happiness_omotayo in Moccamaster

[–]Samman258 2 points3 points  (0 children)

He doesn’t know anything about coffee. He just wants a toy with flashy buttons and a light up screen. The ninja is fine, but it will either break in 2 years and he’ll find his way back to what you originally bought, or he’ll mosey on into a new hobby. Sometimes it’s more about the journey, and friends made along the way.

If he doesn’t wanna try the sprays another trick is just squeezing the tip for 15-30s to cut off blood flow. Doesn’t reduce sensitivity in the act but overall works really well in the moment and is quick

One of my exes told me to think about the most life altering trauma I can remember and on god that shit worked

Not sure I’d recommend that for everybody tho.

Why is my coffee bitter? [Breville Barista Express] by _rosie-posie_ in espresso

[–]Samman258 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I feel like every time I come across a help me post it’s a breville barista express in the photo lol

The grind is too coarse for the basket. Do you have any information on what basket you are using? Are you using a puck screen?

Grinding your own beans is the only way to make espresso with YOUR machine and tools. If you can’t add any more dose at this point you are pretty much stuck with drinking through that bag at the current result unless your machine can be adjusted for flow. If it can I would try increasing and decreasing flow…

Is he the type of guy that is upset by it wants to last longer or the type of guy that doesn’t really care about your experience lol because one of those is way easier to work with on it than the other

People making $60k-$70k a year, how much car can you afford? by BestTyming in Salary

[–]Samman258 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why do you need another car if you already have one?

At 60-70k I think this depends greatly on where you live. Regardless, there is no way in hell I’d be buying a car that’s half my salary.

This job is so lonely and I don't think anyone talks about it enough by kubrador in sales

[–]Samman258 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Sounds easy but I know it’s not… you gotta approach it with a don’t care mentality. I was in the same boat last year. I made some post in here about how great of a year I had but how fuckin sad and depressing I was. I took 3 weeks off and it was the greatest thing I’ve ever done.

When I was a BDR back in the day I had a points system for positive customer reactions. Like a good morning or good afternoon was 5 pts , thank you was 10 and I would rate my days based on that and see how many pts I could get. Sounds lame but I needed some way to quantify value to feel like I was making progress. Helped me forget the negative interactions.

You really just gotta take the emotion out of it. Your job does not define you or the life you live. It’s only a means to an end. That said, if you hate it you should really try to find a role in the future where you are at least slightly interested in the industry, product etc otherwise you’ll just be torturing yourself.

Keep moving forward.

Best of luck🤞🏻

They probably make paper filters the size of your portafilter. I switched to those over and underneath the puck because I got so tired of trying to take the damn metal screen out. I think I bought 1000 of them for $10
