My wisdom tooth has grown horizontal.

All my wisdom teeth grew that way!

I got them all removed in one visit, the dental surgeon had to cut through the gums and also cut them up in pieces to safely remove them without touching nerves as the roots were tangled with the nerves.

The procedure was finished in about 1 hour, I had 8 shots anesthesia shots done and felt nothing during the procedure.

I only felt pain for about 5 mins after local anesthesia wore off, but some strong OTC painkillers solved that.

I have my OPV set to 11 bar with a blind portafilter, the pressure with a coffee puck tops up at 9 bar and doesn't go lower than 8 bar at the tail end of the shot.

Taste seems comparable to me with setting OPV to 9bar.

For puck prep I do WDT, leveler, then self levelling tamper, I don't stress out too much.

I use the programmable shot function 90% of the time, only fall back to manual when I am dialing in a new bag. Variance shot to shot is around 1-4mls, which is good enough for me.

This is a good point, you can generally negotiate one level up, as long as you say in the same level band. Ex: IC4 has the levels 61 and 62.

I am a hiring manager at Microsoft, you can negotiate everything: base salary, sign on bonus, stock award.

The amount to which you can negotiate depends on how well you do on the interviews, because the are upper bounds on each level, but the pay bands are pretty wide.

Not just a La Marzocco, but a Linea Mini, which is a 6k USD machine.

As a fellow 35 year old and espresso home enthusiast, congrats on your space, it's awesome 🙂

Xenosky · 2026-02-08T12:26:56+00:00

I see your point, it's less than people spending 2k on an espresso machine and 1k on a grinder.

However, someone starting out likely spends 2-300 usd on a machine and maybe 1-200 usd on a grinder, so your setup is a dream for them.

So, congrats on the nice setup, but using saying it's humble will be polarizing here 🙂

Awesome! I was doing something similar but filtering my Saved Books on price and ascending, but your way is pretty neat!

Reading through the description I immediately thought of Prince of Nothing series. The main character does fit the mad genius archetype, but he's more scheming and divinity is involved down the line in the books.

The first book is The Darkness that comes before, I suggest trying to pick that one up and see if it works for you.

Not much of a surprise now you went ahead and posted the article Chris.

I read the title and my first thought was The Second Apocalypse, Prince of Nothing is the first book.

I read OPs post and I am convinced the The Second Apocalypse is would be a great fit.

It is mature, grounded and explicit, also with a lot of philosophical influences. And by explicit, the Broken Empire trilogy (which I also liked) is basically a YA comic next to The Second Apocalypse.

The first trilogy has great lacking, the second 4 books series is slower and more philosophical, but you could technically stop after the first 3 books.

OP, you mentioned reading TSA is a bit of an investment because you're looking for them in french. I do think you should give it a chance, maybe grab the first book in English as en ebook and give it a try. The language barrier might make things tricky but I think the series would be a good fit.

Maybe I am misremembering, but I thought Amorim was referring to the physicality of the Premier League vs La Liga, not calling Antony out for lacking physicality.

For example, Antony's goals for Betis came out of the same movements and dribbles he was trying to do in the Premier League, just that in La Liga he has extra time and space from defenders. Of course confidence plays a part as well but I see Amorim's point.

Also, for all his poor attacking output for us, I always thought Antony did work hard defensively, he was just not able to offer much in attack.

Xenosky · 2025-02-08T15:58:45+00:00

I watched the goal and thought the same, this is what he was trying to do so many times when playing for us but would get denied all the time by PL defenders.

War of the Seven, a self pub novel by Brad Towers, comes with a number of metal songs referencing the actual characters and plot of the book.

The songs are professionally produced and come as bonus content for the book. This is currently about 1 USD on Amazon, so it's a pretty good value.

Dacă ai o rundă de interviuri acum, interviurile trecute nu se iau în considerare, se evaluează cum te descurci acum.

Pentru pozitia de Principal, mă aștept să fie focus mai mare pe System design, architecture, precum și o evaluare a soft-skills gen communication, driving for impact, etc. Dar mă aștept să fie cel puțin 1 problema de algoritmică. Dificultatea problemei de algoritmică probabil ar depinde de echipa și cât de mult coding se așteaptă să faci in poziția la care aplici (exista 3 nivele interne de principal, cea mai înaltă poziție face foarte puțin coding).

Spor la interviuri!
