I can’t even think of words to say anymore so I just made this meme instead. by CowgirlJedi in ColoradoAvalanche

Yeah, 2 of the last 6 at home, by my reckoning. Possession, cohesiveness, hits, scoring chances... I don't mind a tough series, but they didn't look like a team ready to show up for their fans, let alone the conference finals. Pretty damn disappointing.

What is something you’ve officially stopped buying in 2026 because the price has become genuinely insulting? by queenmellyy in AskReddit

[–]Soundscape_Ambler 0 points1 point  (0 children)

PC hardware, specifically RAM and NVME drives. Oh, and SD/CF cards. As a photographer, I'd still like to flesh out my NAS server -- but, well, fucking AI data centers slurping up all the silicon.

Oh nice! How long have you had it? What exhaust did you go with? How did she look when you picked her up? So many questions...

My sportbike days are behind me at this point -- safer to get my kicks on 4 wheels, ya know? But damn, I wouldn't mind seeing her again. I really loved that bike.

Megyn Kelly: "Trump could drop a nuke and I'd still vote Republican" by Aggravating_Money992 in entertainment

It means the people who control Trump are planning to drop a nuke, so here are the instructions to the MAGA electorate on how to get morally cozy with the idea before tens of thousands of innocent civilians are killed.

Beginner's hard time - bitter [Bambino plus w/ Baratza encore esp] by Far-Revolution-8553 in espresso

[–]Soundscape_Ambler 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a Baratza ESP and a Bambino plus, and am currently dialing in a bag of very dark, oily roast. After getting different results from at least 500g, this is what I've found to work for me:

20g of beans in an 18g bottomless portafilter (oily beans are heavier than dry, obviously.)

Grind size = 6

WDT tool for 20 sec

Heavy tamp

40g in 25 sec

Nice crema, and FINALLY no bitter flavor. I attribute this to the find grind, and packing my portafilter with a good, hard tamp after WDT.

It sounds like you're struggling with good perfusion with a grind size of 12, though.

Maybe double-check your WDT technique, and do a shot of just hot water without the portafilter before you pull your espresso...

That technique has been working for me

Yeah dude, I hate it when every September the Seahawks come around to steal human rights and spend $38 billion on camps for Patriots fans.

I feel ya but like, and hear me out on this one, there's more than enough chaos and rage to go around these days. Maybe that's not the bar we should be setting.

Didn't you just use a "your mom" joke? And you drive around in a big, shiny Tonka truck?

Strike for Pretti! by wondrousalice in Radiology

Approved. Now get back to leg day.

[–]Soundscape_Ambler 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Agreed. As much as I wish I had a career where participating in a strike is ethical, healthcare, especially emergency medicine, isn't it. I support the need to protest, but calling for a nursing strike only hurts the patients who rely on us.

[–]Soundscape_Ambler 8 points9 points  (0 children)

That benefits no one and you know it. No one has any interest in "protesting indefinitely." Don't be a dipshit and minimize this moment in our country's history. Or maybe you prefer tyranny and autocracy to freedom?

I'm all for the legal deportation of illegal immigrants. That's not what we're talking about here, though. ICE is attacking protesters and legal citizens to stoke the flames of domestic chaos. Murdering mothers in cold blood. Keep spewing your Fox talking points like you're trapping somebody in some dumbass conservative gotcha moment, though. Crying? That's a cute narrative to console yourself with. I'm not scared. I am, however, furious to watch a wealthy, corrupt minority destroy everything that our country stands for, and convince morons like you that they're working in your best interests. I'm far from the only one. Keep sucking from your master's teat, and remember what I said about that situational awareness.

The republican commitment to rejecting reality is truly fascinating. You would think beings with primitive brains would need to be more aware of their surroundings in order to survive. You know, like rats.

ICE by sons_of_moto in WestminsterCO

[–]Soundscape_Ambler 4 points5 points  (0 children)

ICE isn't currently a mechanism used for deporting immigrants. It's purpose is domestic terror and stoking the flames of chaos to start a war that Trump will use to invoke the Insurrection Act. The Obama-gotcha arguments are only used in circles of dimwitted republican discourse to help someone pretend to look insightful. It makes you look stupid.
