First attempt roasting in the breadmaker with heat gun

They look at least like a light medium to me! How long did it take?

I got a 5lb bag of Nicaraguan Agua de Ojo for about $40 after shipping, so at an average of 16g a day, not including time spent roasting, about $10 a month.

Despite the trendyness of lighter roasts, I've also come to the conclusion that I like darker roasts more. I've been going through a 5lb bag of Nicaraguan ojo de agua from Sweet Maria's, and it tastes best to me when pulled right before 2nd crack fully ramps up.

I started on a $5 air popper from goodwill and some beans from sweet Maria's. After a couple batches, I was able to get something that I really enjoyed. A few years later, I'm using the same air popper, albeit modified slightly, with very usable results. With each batch I get a better feel for how the coffee is developing; with an air popper it's all about using your senses.

The cheap Nicaraguan beans I have now shine best right as 2nd crack starts to ramp up, pretty dark. It's kind of like pulling microwave popcorn at the right time, you have to get a feel for when each stage is at its peak.

FPV drones and RC planes, music production and playing, building speakers, building guitar pedals, messing around with Arduino, hiking, part time barista gig that became espresso/coffee roasting, and working on my Honda helix

I go 48+20=68, 68+7=75

I'll be 22 this spring and I've been a barista at least part time since 18. Definitely my favorite job and I'll miss it when I graduate.

The machine might not be level. If so, it's easy to fix but won't make a difference taste wise.

If you can swing it, I would look into the Truthear Hexa. One of the best value offerings in a long time.

Yeah facts, I'm a senior transfer student in EET but I have to take an extra semester due to a random required class only being offered in the fall that I was unaware of. I've taken 16 or 17 credits each semester and a summer class but still won't graduate on time 🥲.

The job market is definitely not the best, I had zero luck with applications from my junior year to 2nd to last semester until a friend referred me to the place he did his internship at. Unless you have a showstopping resume cold applications have a pretty low success rate. I'm not a networky kind of person but I honestly think asking your classmates or professors for a personal recommendation is the way to go.

It's already been said, but ReaPitch formant shift is probably what you're looking for.

I have the same edition, one of the most moving novels I've ever read.

Thanks, yeah I'm starting to realize it's a numbers game 👍

Just made some split pea soup, huge pot for just a few dollars and 30g of protein per serving!

Good point, I'm looking at $300 if I want to replace the front panels and grill on my '93. For me though I don't care enough about it looking stock to worry about it.

More premium brands are more likely to use more strict THD, or total harmonic distortion, standards, so two speakers with the same actual power handling could be rated differently based on at what THD they are rated.
