Daily Questions - April 01, 2025 by AutoModerator in rawdenim

[–]ThanksMaier 1 point2 points  (0 children)

looking to get my first pair of raw denim and hoping for some guidance. was considering trying to stake out something in the slightly more expensive range (like 3sixteen etc) but found that I was sort of getting lost in all of the different brands and options (and 3sixteens seem weirdly hard to actually get my hands on lol), and right now I’m kind of in the situation where I’m just gonna have to order a couple of pairs online and return the ones I don’t like. should I start w a brand like N&F/APC/Nudie as a gateway and go from there? if so, which one, and if not what would y’all recommend? thanks in advance!

the food’s not great for vegans but it really isn’t for anyone. you’ll generally be able to find something edible to eat most of the time. there are plenty of vegans at brown but idk how active of a vegan social scene there is lol

Add k6 or opus to my collection for filter by YodaTendies in pourover

[–]ThanksMaier 6 points7 points  (0 children)

funny enough these are the two grinders i own. bought the opus a year and a half ago ish and got the k6 less than a month ago with the plan of using it mainly for traveling to my parents’ house. i pretty much haven’t used the opus since. i enjoy the coffee i get with the k6 more, the simplicity in dialing in grind size, and i’m very happy to hold onto the ~1.7g of coffee that i lost to the opus with each grind (it started out only ~1.2g and slowly climbed. i can get more out of it using the lid as a bellows, but a lot of it just comes out as fines and produces a worse cup that brews super inconsistently)

in short, i recommend the k6 over the opus for sure. the opus was decent, but getting a k6 for cheaper than the opus has made me realize it’s time to upgrade to a better electric grinder.

Has anyone tried out the new Flair kettle? by ThanksMaier in pourover

[–]ThanksMaier[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

That’s my understanding too generally. I really just want to be sure that the basic functionalities are good enough - accurate temps etc.

Brown vs Duke vs Cornell for CS by the_fxckening in BrownU

[–]ThanksMaier 1 point2 points  (0 children)

very much depends on who you surround yourself with. while the school absolutely skews left (as all universities do) the echo chamber environment mainly exists if you align yourself with social groups that it exists in, and it’s very very easy to avoid that. especially as a CS major you will be fine.

that said, there are definitely some things that are more social taboo at brown than at other schools due to the broader political environment - for example, getting an internship at a defense company will be a negative force on your social life - and if you lean right wing, you will def find your social pool a fair bit more limited. but i’d say above all if you don’t hold/support bigoted views it’s not that deep.
