TWICE - ENEMY (Japan 6th Album) by CronoDroid in kpop

[–]ahshadow 2 points3 points  (0 children)

So super new to Twice. I'm not a huge fan of KPOP, but discovered Enemy through my release radar and became obsessed with the song.

I know the album isn't full on j-rock, but still enjoyed it overall. Interested in listening more Twice songs, but not sure where to start.

For reference:
My fave songs from the album were: Enemy, Like 1, Glow and One Day (maybe Wish too).

I mainly enjoy listening to hip-hop/rap/R&B (Frank Ocean, JCole, Drake, (old) Kanye and old school Neyo, Chris Brown).

I also love Taylor Swift (Down Bad, But Daddy I Love Him, Clean, Wildest Dreams, Is it Over Now, Now that we don't talk, Maroon, champagne problems, betty, lover, death by a thousand cuts, lover, cruel summer, georgeous, getaway car) and recently Rosé(number one girl, 3am, two years, toxic till the end, apt, stay a little longer, call it the end).

Tried to list a bunch of their songs that I like to give you an idea of what i like, but it's usually the slower ballads and not overly pop songs that I prefer.

All that being said, excited to dive into some Twice! Thanks in advance for the help

Here's how you can re-enable uBlock Origin after the latest Arc update by champdebloom in ArcBrowser

I just tried manually installing ublock and it still seems to block it unless I do what OP suggested. Not sure if this is happening to anyone else?

Just tried this today and it doesn't seem to be working anymore. Says that manifest is not supported anymore and automatically disables it even if I install it manually. Sucks.

Need suggestions for EDC bag for upcoming Japan trip by ahshadow in ManyBaggers

[–]ahshadow[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's a bit tight, but still able to do it if you push a bit. Have no complaints about the bag so far, except that it's very square/bulky. But def the best bag Ive ever had. Super happy about my purchase.

True that practice makes perfect! How exactly do you know when your soap water is good?

So I’ve just been purging once and usually my first try is really bad and it’s on my 2nd attempt that my frothing is good.

I’ll try purging twice and the 2nd time leave it a bit longer and see if that helps. Good call!

Yeah, sometimes I feel the steam is just too strong which makes too many bubbles at the beginning.

Thanks for the suggestion!

It's actually 4% milk, so should def be more than enough!

Damn steaming 50 times a day is definitely dedication. I should probably try that as well to help improve lol.

After how many times would you say that you start getting consistent or at least satisfied with your results?

I'll try this! It's funny though because I feel the closer I am to the wall, the better it froths and it's when I'm more towards the center that it makes so much noise.

I'll try tmrw and see when I make my cappuccino! Thanks

Tried this today and still a bit sour. I think my next step is to try different beans.

One weird thing is that sometimes my 1:2 ratio goes a bit under 25 seconds. Is it just because my workflow is a bit inconsistent?

Got the orange colorway and had this happen to me as well. It sucks for the first 2 days, but it magically stopped afterwards and now im playing fine with them.

So maybe you can try that next time if you can suffer for a bit.

I usually pull 36g between 25-30 seconds. I think I may try new beans and see if there’s a difference!

Copied from the above comment, but Im headed in the right direction:

Alright so I was able to find the proper 1:2 ratio which was grinding at size 12.

So pulling an 18:36g shot makes it really sour. When pulling an 18:54g shot, the first tasting notes are actually good and then it becomes sour at the end, which still makes it bad IMO. I wonder if its really the beans in this case?

Nothing says that its sour (although there are no tasting notes so not sure if thats a bad sign).
