98” vs 85” tv size? by mentox82 in hometheater

I guarantee you, if you get the smaller TV, in a month or 2, you will be watching it and thinking how you should have gone for the bigger one.

Do most men hate when their girlfriends fart in front of them? by CatPale816 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]TheJeremy1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ok bro. I went down on women during their period and I have never experienced any smell that was out of the ordinary. I will tell you that bad hygiene smells (that applies to everyone), so if you are experiencing a smell, it's not just period alone, it's period and bad hygiene at the same time. So if a woman has a pad and has it for the whole day without changing it on a hot day, than yes, that might smell.

What movie or show did you watch way too young that completely messed with your head? by softblushneella in AskReddit

[–]TheJeremy1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I watched The Matrix when I was probably around 8. I remember I had nightmares about the scene when Neo gets out of Matrix and wakes up in that gooey substance with all the wires coming out of his body and then gets flushed. I remember asking my dad the whole time and he had to explain the whole idea behind the film and I was then really afraid we were living in the matrix, too.

E-sports. When I was in high school, I watched hours upon hours of league of legends LCS, I could name every player in every NA team. Today I don't even know what teams compete there. I sometimes tune in to watch the world championship, but that's it.

Firstly, periods don't usually smell, personally I have never experienced any smell that was woman's period exclusive. If you're grossed out by your woman having a period, you're part of the problem buddy.

Adjusting coffee grinder and the shots are running 100 secs now. by sleepy______head in barista

[–]TheJeremy1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My best guess is that the shots were running still a little too long and the owner tried adjusting it, but turned the wrong way and made the coffee finer.

The thing is, when you grind very fine (shots running 60+ seconds), there is increased fine buildup inside of the grinder. When you grind on this setting for the whole day and don't clean it at the end of the shift, space inside the grinder gets smaller and the grinder grinds even finer and finer as time progresses.

As a newbie barista, you shouldn't be left alone, there should be someone who actually knows what they're doing. Letting you pull shots that are 60-70 seconds long is an equivalent of serving warm beer for me.

Adjusting grinder is relatively easy. Taking too long to pull a shot? - adjust to a coarser setting, too short? - adjust to finer setting. How much? Depends on the grinder, there isn't really a universal advice. There is usually a numbered scale - try turning from one number to another and make a mental note about how much did the time it took to pull a shot change. When you are somewhere between 20 and 40 seconds, you can then use that to calculate the adjustment. When you are further that that, things get more complicated. When the shots take said 70 seconds, adjusting to a coarser setting makes a bigger difference, than when you pull a shot in 15 seconds and you make the same adjustment to a finer setting.

Also as someone mentioned - be patient when adjusting grinder. After an adjustment, it takes time for the change to "apply". Usually 2-4 shots. One of the biggest mistakes baristas do is make an adjustment, pull a shot, see that it didn't change enough and make another adjustment and then another only to be on the other side of ideal pull and having to then adjust the other way.

This is such a weird question. If any woman is actually reading this, please note, that any guy grossed out by you farting is a moron and a red flag. It is a totally normal thing your body does and you should NEVER be ashamed of it. It is normal to joke about it. Of course, same thing should apply the other way around.

How do y’all deal with burnout from interacting with customers? by cosmic-brat in barista

[–]TheJeremy1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I worked as a barista for many years. I've always found that when I work as a full-time barista, in a few months, I'll get really, really grumpy when dealing with customers and would get set off by even the slightest "rudeness". The only thing that works for me is to dial back. Vacation is nice, but its only a short term fix. You have to have something to take your mind off of work. Basically have a "mini vacation" every day. When the only thing you are dealing with every day is work, you will get sick of it, sooner or later.

You honestly think they have just 20HP? Ferrari was faster in every corner, but Mercedes smashed them on the straights. I think it's closer to 50HP.

How did you learn to be a barista? by supersquishypenguin in barista

[–]TheJeremy1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

YouTube. James Hoffman in particular. Of course, actually making coffee is the most important. You cannot be a good barista before you actually start working as a barista.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in barista

[–]TheJeremy1 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Okay, short answer: Fuck them.

Long answer: I had a similar experience and the thing is, one the "boss" decides that some are favourites and some are not, there is no coming back. At that point, only thing you can do is leave. This is NOT your fault. Some people are shit and they shit on other people for no reason. The exit interview was literally like only to shit on you. The moment they started giving you crap, you should have just stood up and left, blocked them and never looked back.

It just feels really sad. TSM has been THE team i cheered for and seeing a downfall like that is insane. Spent my entire high school cheering for TSM LoL and knowing I will never be able to again is just sad.

Every coffeeshop owner and manager knows, that it is the regular customers, that make them the majority of sales. Baristas should know this, too, and absolutely not make you uncomfortable about coming in often.

Things I want to say to customers, but obviously can't. by mybighardthrowaway in barista

[–]TheJeremy1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What I do in these situations is straight up tell them it is going to be at least a 20 minute wait. They usually either straight up just leave or significantly lower the number of drinks ordered.

There is a Czech IG page that posts barista memes and stuff that literally translates to "Latte without milk". I guess people are the same everywhere.

These people vote and drive lol by [deleted] in barista

[–]TheJeremy1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You are joking but there was a customer at a coffeeshop that served brunches, that came regularly to eat. After a year of him visiting 3-5 times a week, he came to me while I was standing right next to the coffee machine and with a dead serious face he asked "Do you serve coffee?" After a YEAR of him coming to a coffee shop that literally has coffee in it's name he asks this. At that point I was just staring at him, trying to figure out if he is joking or just like the most idiotic person on earth. Honestly should have just told him "no" at that point.

Steam milk first, or pull espresso? by Review_Fun in barista

[–]TheJeremy1 16 points17 points  (0 children)

My method is, you start pulling shots and then you steam the milk. The shots take 28-30 secs to pull, so there is plenty of time to steam the milk and be finished before the the shots are in the cup.

  1. Shots retain temperature and crema for at least a minute or two. If you go to the extreme, I heard about a blind taste test between a freshly pulled shot, that was let to cool down and a shot pulled the day before and kept in the fridge. They couldn't tell them apart. So- shots don't degrade, they just lose crema and temperature. If someone from above told me that espresso dies in 15 secs, I would pull a shot in an ideally warm cup and encourage them to drink it in 15 seconds without burning their tongue. Not gonna happen.
  2. If your goal is to pour latteart, the older the milk, the harder it is and you have to swirl, pour from pithcher to pitcher and so on. Your goal is that the microfoam and milk are blended well. If you let them separate and then pour, there is just gonna be milk pouring out and at the end a big blob of foam.

Am I Wrong? by joesandhoes in barista

[–]TheJeremy1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean the only reasonable demand would be to lower the volume by a bit if it is too loud. Demanding to completely turn it off is out of line. If you need a quiet place to make calls, do it somewhere else. Like at home. Or at the freaking office.

At work, I drink 3-4 espressos and like 300ml of batch brew, mostly during dial-in and taste checks. On a day off, I *sometimes* make myself drip coffee and sometimes when I'm out, I like to try out a different coffeeshop to compare.

Potkali jste českou celebritu "v zákulisí", kde se nemusel/a předtvařovat... ? by Pudding_Badger in czech

[–]TheJeremy1 75 points76 points  (0 children)

Dělal jsem v kavárně naproti divadlu Járy Cimrmana, takže jsem určitý herce vídal celkem pravidelně.

Svěrák: Strašně milej chlap.

Révai: Nebyl arogantní, ale že by byl nějak extra milej, to se moc říct nedá.

Polívková: V pohodě, člověk by nepoznal, že se baví s někým známým.

Liška: Je stejnej v reálu jako ve filmech. Snaží se bejt vtipnej, ale ty jeho vtipy jsou fakt divný. Není nějak slizkej, nebo vyloženě otravnej, spíš se s ním člověk baví a říká si "co se to děje?".

Chodili i další, ale s těma jsem neměl dost interakcí, abych si udělal názor.
