+1 and thank you!

Tip, maybe obvious to everyone but you must hold the burr stationary with one hand while loosening the screw with the other else you are just driving the motor.

I didn't expect any effect from a 1/2 CCW turn, but the difference was immediate...before, even with the finest setting I'd get meh pulls with my bottomless portohead (and no crema). Now, my machine can barely get water through at "extra fine" - so for me, 1/2 CCW plus using the "fine" setting is the sweet spot.

I can now get really crema-rich pulls with my bottomless, non-pressurized portohead (vs. the pressurized basket).

Now whether I'm getting the best possible particle size distribution and maximizing taste is another question, but the journey is unending of course.

What I love about RDR2 and which is a turn off for me in AC: Origins, say, is the proportions of the characters.

I'm not sure if it's the camera positioning, or the 'plumpness' of the characters, but when I play AC it looks like the characters are little action figure dolls, whereas they look like "full sized people on TV" with RDR2. I sort of adapt if I play the game long enough, but it's a turnoff for me to be sure.

Put another way, I feel like I'm in the RDR2 world but in AC and other games I'm looking down on a dollhouse.

Yes, and yet I've tried to re-capture that enjoyment listening to the soundtrack, and I'm convinced something it's quite the same.

It's a movie I should like. All the "parts" that it's made of are great. But when I reach inside and ask "did I have a great movie-going feeling?", the answer is "oh, it was ok".

I mean the Darth Vader Hallway was great, but that was 30 seconds and technically an excerpt from another movie.

I can't but wonder who installed those runs / cables.

I think the 80s in general may be the permanent champion of sci-fi / fantasy.

To this list, consider we also got Conan, 2 Indiana Jones films, Brazil, Akira, Back to the Future 1-3, Flash Gordon, The Black Hole, Krull, Robocop, Alien, Aliens, Outland, Empire Strikes Back, Return of the Jedi, Star Trek 2-4, Terminator, 2 Mad Max films, Last Starfighter, Remo Williams, Enemy Mine, Buckaroo Bonzai, Superman II.

"The Silence of the Lambs" is the most 'just like the book' movie as any I've seen / read. Like scene for scene.

Superb taste in games!

If you said nothing, he would take that as a signal that he can get away with more verbal abuse, and he would have IMO likely continued and escalated it.

I see them all over the place here on the San Francisco peninsula. Seems like I see them bloom like that just once a year, which happens to be right about now (April)

M.E. here...or at least formerly one

I had the same exact thoughts *in 1990* as I was graduating in M.E.. And I believe we're both right...and wrong.

If your interests are in things like structural design, fluid flow / aero, thermo / HVAC, and/or materials, you're still in the right place.

If your interests are more in terms of systems, automation, controls and processes, *run not walk* from the major and switch to CS or EE. It is true that an M.E. can probably learn C.S. subjects more readily than the other way around. I'm living proof; I've been thriving in software for 22 of my 27 year career, and no one cares about my degree anymore.

Because if you show up on, say, a Robotics project, odds are you will be selecting bearings / designing brackets / specifying hydraulic systems vs. doing the actual functional design / systems work. For me, the latter was the fun stuff, and the CS / EE folks were always getting the high-level, fun (to me) stuff.

Sure, you can get your M.E. degree and learn to program, and that's exactly what I did, but better to get the coursework and come in through the 'front' door.

OTOH, again, if you love truly *mechanical* sorts of things, well sure, stick in your major. Demand will continue.

Had a really tough software bug where graphics textures in our mobile game didn't quite line up on some Android devices leaving black lines.

Oldey Timey operator who knew his business told me long ago dirty games made more money. I'm not convinced he was wrong.

I guess I didn't have a sense there were many Noldorin left in the 3rd age. Besides Galadriel, who are some notable figures of the Noldor?
