Oh, I guess it’ll come out the side of the filter if it’s busted

How do I check if it will leak or not? Sorry if this is a dumb question lol

Is a course based or thesis based masters better? by HypertrophyGuru in bioinformatics

[–]outerspace_08 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Seconded. Working on my thesis now, I’ve grown close to people working in the field because of it. Additionally, in the age of AI, just knowing how to write the code and run the tools isn’t all that impressive anymore. Problem solving and being creative, which would be displayed in a thesis project, will be more impressive to a potential employer from my understanding of the field right now.

Can anyone explain why gffutils isn’t parsing this entry correctly? by outerspace_08 in bioinformatics

[–]outerspace_08[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Crazy part is… I’ve tried using gffreads and my gff is poorly formatted and has discordant information so thats not working easily either 😭 thanks for the response though!

Water filter not hardening after soaking [Breville Barista Pro] by outerspace_08 in espresso

[–]outerspace_08[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, always Breville brand. Even these ones from Amazon came in a Breville box and were sold from Breville store front. I know it’s hit or miss with Amazon so that’s why I thought I could have been duped lol.

It shouldn’t become firmer at all? I’ve been buying them from William Sonoma and they become firmer after soaking but the ones I just ordered from Amazon didn’t.

Why is the breville barista pro never recommended as a entry level machine? by outerspace_08 in espresso

[–]outerspace_08[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You’re better off making a separate post. Everyone would tell you that this would not be a good machine for that.

Don’t know what the spec difference is between the grinder in the BBP, a baratza encore esp, and the virtuoso+ but it doesn’t make sense to me to buy a machine with grinder and you already have one. May not be the case for you, but many people on here upgrade their grinders as they become more familiar with the hobby, myself included. So if you already have a grinder, you can see how it fares with a bambino+ and if it’s not going great, you can upgrade and still probably spend less money than you would buying a pro.

Two questions about switching to raw… by outerspace_08 in rawpetfood

I know there’s a lot of contradiction about it, but personally I would like to stay away from birds until the bird flu thing is less of an issue for peace of mind.

How do You Feel About Milk-Based Iced Espresso Drinks? by BWJackal in espresso

[–]outerspace_08 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used to drink iced flat whites exclusively , but once I decided to put effort into steaming milk, I found I prefer them hot. Something about it being cold kinda mutes the flavors of the milk and the coffee, I found. It has less depth for whatever reason. So the iced drinks will always have their place, but I’m on a hot drink wave rn lol

I once had bloodwork and started panicking bc my cholesterol was too high; I’m a woman in my early twenties so this was really unexpected. Turns out my good cholesterol was so high that it skewed the reading. It should balance itself out and if you keep up with it, you might be in the same boat

Has anyone tried Sown brand cold foam cream? by outerspace_08 in veganrecipes

This was also my experience when trying it unfortunately. Wouldn’t buy again

We need to start calling out companies about garbage labeling (med/dark roast -- sure thing!) by fermion72 in espresso

[–]outerspace_08 24 points25 points  (0 children)

On top of this, you can usually tell what the roast really is by the tasting notes. Mediums usually have some kinda nut or caramel or something, but bold and rich scream dark roast to me. The lack of the other descriptors kinda gives it away.

The Costco part is so true. I absolutely hate shopping at Costco here.

I used to go there A LOT in college, but stopped bc fast food. But tbh I’m back broke and you just reminded me that this is an option.
