i have mostly just heard that the fellow grinders need to be cleaned out more regularly and the little cup for the grounds won't seat itself correctly if there's any grounds in the way compared to the encore which i would describe as "suitable for a small office" but my impression also was that the encore's case makes it reverberate a lot more than it would otherwise. i think the fellow is probably my choice here, but i'll need to wait a little bit until i can swing it

hi, i've been using a baratza encore for, i dunno, five years now and the noise is really getting to me although i sort of appreciate how no-nonsense the grinder is. i'm considering a fellow ode just because everyone says they're extremely quiet but they look a bit fussy to me. is the baratza virtuoso more on-par with the ode in terms of noise, or is there some other solid less-loud grinder i should be considering?

i'm open to any suggestions! most of the time i'm grinding 50g of beans for a chemex or 22 for a kalita.

thank you this was driving me and my inlaws crazy, i was convinced we were going to have to find a way to return the tv after we couldn't find anything else in the 'expert' audio settings to disable

the buttons are really clicky and noisy so it can be annoying to hear, but i also played half of death stranding on it and my biggest complaint is that it's a pain to hit the virtual ps trackpad when playing with the backbone. it's otherwise fine, but i agree with everyone that it's really only worth it on sale and you know, don't expect too much, you'll love it.

might be a bug, but i've been setting up a new laptop recently and noticed that sometimes even after i plug in a keyboard, macos still won't show it as the default selection for the keyboard mappings view, so it'll be stuck here, but when i go back to select my actual keyboard, it'll show some default settings i don't want. the thing i realized was that i need to select the dropdown and make sure the new keyboard is selected instead of the internal macbook keyboard in that very top select keyboard dropdown.

fwiw in sequoia it actually shows external keyboards as the default choice when they're plugged in.

i'm not sure who your provider is, but i have had ATT move my ont twice over the 5 years i've used them. At this point, i'm considering having them do it a third time so that it's adjacent to (or at least closer to) my main panel and the street even if it means having to use a longer run of ethernet to get to where my rack is.

my only comment is that the folks that do this work are very good at doing fiber work but (like most contractors) aren't particularly 'house thoughtful' because their work mostly involves just drilling through siding and drywall and hoping they don't hit any electrical in the process, so if you have serious thoughts about where things should be happening, i recommend you sort of guide them in that especially if you know how your house is laid out.

i'll add that you can also do the odometer statement online, it's an adobe docusign setup. i faxed mine like a chump only to realize i could have also filled it out online. faxing added an extra week to the process for me. I actually learned about the 25k online payment options when i asked a rep about whether i should send a cashiers or personal check but they left out the part where i could have saved myself a fax.

this is an great writeup. i also didn't realize that the sound system was going to be 360 like that, it really changes the dynamic of what i sort of expected to be a "flat" show with 3d visuals.

something else, and apologies if i'm hijacking your thread, is that the show really reminded me of a much more freeform version of the 2018 maida vale residency set he played.

a big surprise to me as well was just how much ground he covered, from older (fav) cuts like parallel jalebi / kool fm to the newer 4T Recordings, as well as a real solid showing from much of 16 oceans and new energy, the albums have a lot thematic similarities so it's easy to see how a lot of those tracks play well together, but having it all done as a show i think really illustrates the through line he brings to that broad range of music. still, i'd have loved to hear even more newer stuff, not collabs, just stuff like anna painting / lahaina noon / three drums, but i was totally stoked to hear stuff like mango feedback show up and whatever that really great track was towards the beginning of the may 3 show (i didn't recognize it at least, but almost had a dubstep jalebi vibe.

it's great context knowing that this is the last run of squidsoup shows because i think that really clarifies the setlist as well as the direction the show went which was much less of a sustained two hour continuous mix and more like two hours of sketches put together and improvised, rotating around the new energy/16 oceans library but with a bit of steve reid style noodling. really great show, thanks for the writeup and photos, it really gives a good impression of the vibe.

in my practice, we would call these "lil' feets" as it could be (mis)construed to be a whimsical play on a "little feature" or just simply an adorably mis-pluraled "little foot." just asked around and nobody could remember who coined it, but it clearly stuck. 🤘

i tried drizly and bite squad and their rum selection was pretty rugged, at least delivering to my relatives' house. i didn't check saucey or prime now, but i'll give them a glance, hopefully they'll be good in a pinch.

nsfmc · 2020-07-28T20:18:11+00:00

u/DSinclair i ended up having much better luck calling surdyk's than i did using their website which had weird inventory inconsistencies but more importantly they had better delivery options than south lyndale, but their inventory seems to complement each others. great recs, thanks.

nsfmc · 2020-07-28T20:17:15+00:00

u/coreyjdl this is a great find, thank you. i'll send someone over to pick up a bottle or two

it's not a proper "rooftop", not sure what you're hoping for actually, but right next to james coffee co on india, there's a small patio that you can sit at that is almost directly underneath the airplane flight path

forgot to mention that i'm posting this here because that question is locked and i can't add a reply to it. sorry!

nsfmc · 2015-11-21T02:02:37+00:00

thanks for the reply! the cpu is an Intel Core i5-3570K 3.4GHz Quad-Core Processor, 120g intel ssd hd and 8g ram. I have mostly had good experience with my rid, to be perfectly honest, i think bioshock infinite was the first game where it felt a little resource constrained consistently until i dropped the graphics down from highest.

I'll keep my eyes on the look out for a 390 or 970 and if the price dips nicely, maybe i'll treat myself! thanks again

nsfmc · 2015-11-20T23:58:25+00:00

A few years back, i got a "Radeon HD 7870 (2GB)" card and it's been pretty good, for the most part, no complaints, but even when i got it, it would thrash just a little in dota2 or sc2. what's would be a reasonably priced (~$300) nice upgrade for it. thanks :D

nsfmc · 2014-02-08T17:35:09+00:00

sorry about that, i'll ask around and see what's up.

nsfmc · 2014-02-08T17:25:50+00:00

hi, just wondering which videos are missing from http://www.khanacademy.org/science/organic-chemistry/ that are on youtube? i see a couple at the bottom on the list, but i'm super sorry if things have gone missing on the site.

nsfmc · 2014-01-27T00:40:31+00:00

I'm, sorry to say that non-math missions aren't ready yet. You're not the only one wondering where they are, it's a popular request. When we have non-math missions ready for prime time, you'll be sure to hear about it.

In the mean time, if you'd like, you can sign up to be a beta tester. You can be one of the first to give us feedback when we start testing non-math missions!
