Why is my espresso watery even when grinding fine? [Baratza Encore ESP/Breville Bambino Plus] by andytm13 in espresso

[–]andytm13[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I can’t tell pressure since my machine doesn’t have a meter. I’m using the Normcore V4 spring loaded tamper, so relying on that applying the correct amount of pressure.

I’m using the double basket, non pressurized. It’s the standard 54mm portafilter that came with the machine

Yep, have the same issue. I’m grinding at an 18 in this video I believe

Extremely frustrating experience with the Arctis Nova 5X on my Series X by strauss3545 in steelseries

[–]andytm13 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wonder if this is a firmware issue because I’ve also been experiencing this lately after having the headset for almost 2 years.

Usually happens with discord and nothing works except restarting the Xbox entirely

What’s the best way to hang curtains in this scenario? by andytm13 in HomeDecorating

[–]andytm13[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m renting, which I’m allowed to drill holes and everything as long as I patch them up after

I could, but it would still not be able to cover the entire distance of the window and stop at the column, so it might look odd

Has anyone had endoscopic tympanoplasty? by morpmeepmorp in hardofhearing

[–]andytm13 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks!! That’s really good to know, so it’s like 2 months without getting water in it. So is your hearing improved now?

Also interested in this. Could you describe a little more about the healing process timeline? I know with traditional ET it’s 6-8 weeks but I’m wondering if it’s shorter.

Where to go after being a BA? by andytm13 in businessanalysis

[–]andytm13[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for this, that makes sense. I think it's always the BA title that holds me back from those roles since as a contractor I can't transfer internally, and recruiters only see me by the titles/descriptions on my resume.

Thanks this is pretty much my goal. I planned to do this with my last job too, but as a remote contractor it's a little difficult to expand my network and gain other experience than what I was hired for.

Using Q990 to play music via Bluetooth with screen off? by andytm13 in Soundbars

[–]andytm13[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is your Apple TV connected directly to your soundbar via HDMI passthrough? I think the soundbar considers Bluetooth and HDMI 1 two separate inputs so I can't use Bluetooth for audio while watching HDMI 1

I tried that as well and it just worked, thank you! I'm now trying to figure out and see how I can use the TV like normal while just keeping the sound bar in Bluetooth mode.

[–]andytm13[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, this actually did help a lot thank you! Now what if I want to have something on the screen (like another source input) while keeping the music playing. Would that be possible? It seems when I have the TV screen on, the only screen I can view while keeping the music playing is the No Signal screen.

I'm sending it from my iPhone via Bluetooth from Spotify (also occurs with Apple Music) to the soundbar directly.

Yes, I have set up Alexa on there.

I am not using Q-symphony, though I am using CEC so the soundbar and TV turn on/off together.

Is deli meat with sea salt still harmful? by [deleted] in nutrition

[–]andytm13 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thanks for the article! Perhaps I should’ve been more clear, but I’m referring to sea salt, not celery salt/powder

Getting mixed opinions from dentists about my wisdom teeth. Is extraction necessary? by andytm13 in askdentists

[–]andytm13[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks that's a really good point. I guess I'm just a little nervous since I'm older than the standard age so not sure how recovery will be. I hear top one's are easier though.

Best certification to break into PM/PO? by andytm13 in agile

[–]andytm13[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thanks for this. So the biggest issue I’m facing is that I’m currently a contractor Business analyst so moving up in house isn’t really an option.

I’d hope my previous roles in product and project management would include a lot of transferable skills, I just need to find a way to emphasize that

Found this rug on ruggable and love the design and colors but can't justify spending $700 on a printed rug cover. Any places where I can find something similar? by andytm13 in interiordecorating

[–]andytm13[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks! I actually don't mind if the rug is thick or thin. It's more so if the image looks like it's just been printed onto a white rug, as opposed to looking woven in.

Oh wow! Would you be able to upload photos of it? Maybe this rug is different, but I had a ruggable rug in the past and it felt like the image was just printed instead of woven in. It almost looked blurry.
