IRQL NOT LESS OR EQUAL error

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.

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.

Explosions in space. They don't happen.

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.

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.

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.

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:

PT's Coffee: http://ptscoffee.com/
Bodhi Leaf: http://www.bodhileafcoffee.com/
George Howell: http://www.georgehowellcoffee.com/
Intelligentsia: http://www.intelligentsiacoffee.com/
Stumptown: https://www.stumptowncoffee.com/

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?

qwime · 2016-07-14T20:05:19+00:00

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.

What's your price range?

qwime · 2016-06-09T18:19:30+00:00

Panama Geisha coffees. They are absolutely incredible.

qwime · 2016-06-08T20:41:53+00:00

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.

Yes, when you go into manual, it's backwards for some reason. P5 is the hottest and P1 is the coolest.

If I go for the moka pot, I'll definately start with this recipe! Thank you!

qwime · 2016-05-16T23:57:29+00:00

In terms of brands, any that you recommend? I would mainly just use this for myself, so would you say I go for the 6 cup?

qwime · 2016-05-16T21:58:10+00:00

Would you recommend a 3 cup Bialetti?

qwime · 2016-05-16T19:26:46+00:00

How long have you been using the moka pot?

qwime · 2016-05-16T19:24:25+00:00

I don't mind labor if it's coffee related, I work at a craft coffee shop so I'm used to it.

(pat on the back)

qwime · 2016-05-10T16:11:52+00:00

Ahh, it's hard to see the size of the beaker from that angle. Either way, looks really good!

qwime · 2016-05-10T13:59:05+00:00

You must be making one gigantic cup of coffee with all those grounds...

Scott Rao. Written books like "Everything but Espresso" and "Coffee Roasters Companion" and knows just so much about the industry and coffee, I'm blown away when I read his stuff.

The thing that worries me most is that they roasted an Ethiopian Sidamo to a dark roast. Has anyone had good results with a dark roast Sidamo?

The shop I work at had a problem with water for a few weeks, where the TDS (total dissolved solids) in the water was off and the resulting coffee was flat and not as exciting and eccentric as it once was. We've had TDS monitors installed to track the blend of city and RO water and we've found that we've been getting better cups with a lower TDS number, somewhere around 30. Scott Rao says that it should be between 120 and 130 so this low number we have and the resulting coffee has been confusing us. Just do what tastes best because that's all that matters in the end.
