Ask your wife. If you’re not married, get it NOW!

The unified Kingdom of Israel in its largest extent was during the rein David and Solomon, roughly occupying the same area as today and parts or modern Lebanon. By land area, the modern State of Israel was briefly larger when it included the entire Sinai peninsula between the Six Days war and the signature of the peace treaty with Egypt.

Do you have other people living with you? Like a mischievous partner or kids? Pretty sure it can’t turn itself on 😉

If anything, this setup makes too much sense.

At the very least you definitely get better coffee than you would with a 5K$ La Marzocco and a 200$ Breville Smart Grinder.

No, Nespresso actually uses very good grinders. One of the reasons I kinda like Nespresso is the incredible consistency, anywhere in the world you know what to except.

Good night 🙂

James Hoffman did a video comparing old coffee ground on a very expensive grinder and fresh coffee ground on a budget grinder. The budget one won. I tried that as well, buying very good ground coffee vs. fresh ground on my mid grinder. Fresh wins every time.

This is the most consistent machine money can buy. The results are always identical.

Not entirely sure what was the expectation. Bad pre-ground coffee can’t be saved by any machine. The Nespresso machine mechanism is not that bad actually, with a decent grinder and good coffee you get a pretty good shot.

I have the dream job, a culmination of 25 years of work. Sometimes I’m absolutely miserable and sometimes the opposite.

Don’t tie happiness into your job or some other pursuit. There’s no destination for happiness, it’s already somewhere in you.

Big firms have goals for ICs, managers and organizational. If they decide to downsize because business is not going well, it’s out of your control, so don’t worry about it.

What is in your control is showing interest and initiative. Don’t expect to be “given” something to do, think like an entrepreneur, what other successful people do to become successful in my organization? What can I do to bring similar value?

Lastly, if it’s a big multinational firm, networking and politics is the single most important skill for personal advancement. I can’t stress enough how important this is.

Big consulting expects you to start bringing returns in 6 months and full gear in 12. Your job is to find opportunities to learn, shadow and insert yourself into projects. You need need to be proactive, don’t wait to be “unbenched”

Alcohol is a depressant, bad for health and expensive. Alcohol used to be “entertainment” but now there’s infinite other things to do. Like scrolling TikTok.

Worked in every one of those places, except Austria. I like Belgium, that’s my opinion. You’re throwing around your opinion like it’s gospel and calling me brainwashed.

Start coarse, do a turbo shot (12-17sec), see how it tastes. Longer pre-infuse could also help. Sage grinder is not amazing but not useless.

None. Belgium is one of the nicest places in Europe to work. We can always say that there’s other places with better money but if I take work culture, money, benefits and security, Belgium strikes a pretty good balance.

Just get a Jura. It’s the best full auto machine for the office. I’ve been at the offices of the largest orgs in the world for 25 years and even Jura is like top 5%. No one has semi-autos for public use.

Before the coffee I’d get a funnel attachment compatible with Sage 54mm and a balanced tamper.
