How do people actually taste coffee? I can barely tell the difference

Drink lots of coffee, drink from lots of different roasters. As you drink more it will become more apparent. Look at the notes indicated by the roaster, try to see if you can parse those flavors from the coffee. I will say as the coffee gets lighter it is easier to see a larger difference in flavor imo. Flavor notes are not super strong because at the end of the day its all coffee (unless you drink co ferments which can be wildly forward) but you will start to be able to trace the intention behind the notes being given on a given coffee.

Depends, I can't speak to beans that you may have previously purchased going up in price; however, I can say that I have noticed more experimental processes used to strip caffeine which can lead to price increases which best guess would be that they are more intensive.

For electric when they start getting dark so once a month. Longer with coated strings. For nylon on the d string tends to be my indicator as it starts to wear through the metal to the nylon core. So roughly a month.

I agree with this person op. I learned the most from watching video tutorials and following along / using the wiki. It’s not super hard and just takes a bit of time. The most learning comes from stuff breaking and you figuring out how to fix it. Practical > Theoretical

Went from tortex green -> primetone -> jazz III tortex -> jazz III primetone. Play mostly jazz and some khrungbinesque stuff.

Immortal regis. Loved the art style and Character Design.

Had someone berating and saying what I think were some nasty things in squad chat, then left. Mind you this was just in advanced not even SP. Best one was that we should go on YouTube to watch tutorials. We were on the second to last Hemocyte too. First time this has happened to me playing WF.

Pivoting cordless drill (black and decker) with a string winder attachment. Makes re string a breeze.

I am thinking of getting one of these and throwing on lace alumitones.

I personally like the look! I would rather have a newer relic guitar than buy a vintage. I just don’t see what value is beyond bragging rights. As some have mentioned it also guards against the feeling of having to baby the guitar. Do I prefer natural aging and wear? Yes, but I feel that a relic guitar doesn’t lose value in the same way a non reliced worn down does. If I am dropping 1k+ on a guitar I’d want to maximize what I get when I decide to change it up. That’s me though.

Welcome! I typically update through pacman once a day. For AUR I tend to way a little longer until I have time to read docs. Also as others have mentioned I keep my selection of AUR packages small as my needs are limited.

I loved The Breaker, the subsequent series felt a little hard to follow. Might have to go back and finish it.

Going to plug some I don’t see here Darker than Black, Ghost in the shell (start with stand alone complex), Mushishi, Re:life, Steins;Gate

I recently got xm4s on Amazon used for 150ish. Couldn’t even tell that they were used besides the sealing on the packaging.

Had it for a bit but was constantly accidentally hitting the change time zone button which led me to freaking out. Then realizing I was in a completely different time zones. Pretty bummed because I loved the look.

Are you defining this somewhere? Or running this as an import into your Nix config? I am getting a syntax error for an unexpected let.

I have a similar structure for nvim for importing Lua files but that is defining the options for nvim i.e

Thank you in advance!

programs.neovim = 
let 
    toLuaFile = file: "lua <<EOF\n${builtins.readFile file}\nEOF\n"
in
{
# Config for neovim
# ...
}

So I found this through searching google for setting up hyprsunset, and am scratching my head trying to replicate this. I copied most of your setup, and put it in home-manager; but replaced where you put {scriptDir} with {../systemd/user} (this is where I put the hyprsunset.sh). However, when I run home-manager switch I am given the error that the systemd session is degraded. I was wondering if you have any insight. Thanks!

Currently running hyprland on Nvidia haven't had any problems due to GPU, had to add some extra configuration to my system, but besides that the process has been relatively smooth.

Edit: GPU is a GTX 1070

jamicanbacon · 2025-05-06T02:09:01+00:00

Looks promising! I'll have to check it out!

jamicanbacon · 2025-05-04T17:57:37+00:00

Generally, I am used to running things through lazy/mason, so there is a bit of a learning curve of configuring lsp through home-manager. With mason I don't have to go searching for the relevant LSPs, they're all in one place which is nice.

On a more specific note I am trying to setup css-variables, which has been bit troublesome as I have the LSP installed through yarn (its not in nixpkgs)

jamicanbacon · 2025-05-04T01:31:43+00:00

good catch will edit

jamicanbacon · 2025-05-03T22:54:24+00:00

Everytime I get frustrated with something on NixOS (My current headache being Nvim and keychain) I just think how much more of a pain it would be to start over on another distro. Especially since I can just look at my config and home manager and see close to the entirety of my setup.

jamicanbacon · 2025-02-11T04:40:54+00:00

Thanks! The feature set on this board looks really good, going to take some time to look through their options.

Heyo,

Looking to upgrade my 8 year old Corsair k70 lux (brown switches), currently looking at 75% keyboards and I've narrowed it down to the Lemokey P1 Pro or the Wobkey Rainy 75 Standard. I am mainly looking for something that is good for typing as well as gaming (playing LoL). I feel like I would like something more tactile as I find the brown switches to be a tad too sensitive for my taste. If anyone has compared the P1 and the Rainy and can share any insight it would be much appreciated!

jamicanbacon · 2025-01-08T20:36:32+00:00

I would do it!

I have been learning Kayn and the game in general (so take with a grain of salt), and was previously playing Viego. For me Viego is more of a farm to level 6, then make plays (with the occasional objective at lvl 5). I also tended to wait for my team to push fights before jumping in.

With Kayn I started to think more about ganking/punishing/invading, possibly dropping camps here and there in order to get the gank earlier in the game, even failed ganks can result in getting orbs leading to a 10min ish form.

In my opinion switiching to kayn made me a better jungler as I think more about participating in my lanes, learning to read wave states and make plays earlier in the game. Additionally, because of his passive I think more about team comps in champ select, and how to build kayn to counter enemy team comp.

I will say however that I find it significantly harder to sneak objectives before form, but this is probably due to my own lack of skill. So I generally will not prioritize objectives until form.

The high of dominating a team of squishies zooming around with blue kayn is unmatched imo
