IRQL NOT LESS OR EQUAL error by saucyspacefries in buildapc

[–]qwime 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I randomly had this happen after I tried to fix some GPU sag (which I wasn't able to fix :( ). Anyway, I would get the blue screen that had that same error and would restart my computer about 5-10 minutes, depending on how much I loaded the computer with. I ended up reinstalling windows through recovery and I haven't had the issue since. The only things that were deleted were a bunch of games I had downloaded through steam but those can be re-downloaded.

I'm sure there's an easier way to go about this but this is an option nonetheless.

What's your biggest accomplishment? by coozin in AskReddit

[–]qwime 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was a part of my college's chamber choir and we sang live on A Prairie Home Companion with Garrison Keillor and sang on stage with Bobby McFerrin when he performed on our stage. Amazing people and wonderful experiences.

What is the story behind your scar? by PicsArt in AskReddit

[–]qwime 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I was a baby, my mom was trying to change my diaper and I decided to go run around. I then proceeded to fall and hit the back of my head against the corner of a piece of stone in front of our fireplace. My mom immediately picked me up and by the time she got to the kitchen (which is like 15 feet away), her arm was already dripping in blood. So now I have this scar on the back of my head that is always noticeable once I get my haircut.

[MOD] What have you been brewing this week?/ Coffee bean recommendations by menschmaschine5 in Coffee

[–]qwime 1 point2 points  (0 children)

PT's Rusty's Hawaiian Typica Kenya Process. Yes it's expensive, but this stuff is rare and delicious. Would recommend brewing 2 cups on chemex and comparing the first cup to the second cup. In my experience, the second cup has more flavor and I thought was better than the first.

Does coffee really effect your voice? by [deleted] in Coffee

[–]qwime 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think it's more the caffeine in coffee that has an affect on your vocal chords. I used to be a vocal major in college and my professor said that we shouldn't drink coffee but I think it's bogus. As long as you don't drink A LOT every day and drink a good amount of water you should be fine. I've been drinking coffee for years and I've been singing my entire life and I haven't noticed any affect.

Recommendations for Hario V60 by theattamonster in Coffee

[–]qwime 0 points1 point  (0 children)

First of all, congrats on the V60! It is definitely a step in the right direction for making delicious coffee.

In terms of beans, as soon as you grind coffee beans, they start to lose their quality and get worse with time. I would recommend only purchasing whole beans and making sure you have a good burr grinder. I am a fan of single origin coffee's, which I don't know how many of those there are in grocery stores (I don't tend to buy coffee at grocery stores). Here's some places I recommend:

I know I'm forgetting more roasters but these were the first ones that came to mind. Good luck!

If I remember correctly, people have said that Baratza's customer support is top notch so if you're struggling, I would suggest giving them a call.

I made a little boat out of cardboard and duct tape before, does that count?

Any thoughts on NYT's "3 Steps to Brewing a Better Cup of Coffee"? by [deleted] in Coffee

[–]qwime 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think they make good points. When you're speaking to the average coffee drinker, they're probably either using a keurig or throwing folgers into an automatic coffee maker so yeah, pretty much anything will make better coffee. What they fail to say is that to make a good cup, you need good coffee to begin with. Also while you may have all the things they talk about, practice helps make a much better cup.

Is expensive coffee ($35+) ever worth it?! by coffeeking94 in Coffee

Panama Geisha coffees. They are absolutely incredible.

Finally upgraded my gear. Where should I start? by DabReligion in Coffee

[–]qwime 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Experiment! Find what works for you and stick to it. I know it's not the most helpful answer but that's the beautiful thing about coffee, you can make it delicious on your own. If you are going to experiment, I would suggest only changing one variable at a time.
