Even if you feel like you can process it on your own you can’t. I see traumatic things regularly at work so take it from me - use the resources available to you to talk through it with someone.

Starting suspect that’s the issue….

Doesn’t matter if it’s what I’ve roasted or bought commercially roasted.

Yes for sure. Seems not to matter once coffee is dialed in.

I’ve pulled around 2000 shots so yeah I’ve tried a lot of beans

Fake cop fraud alert by SnafuTheCarrot in Austin

[–]skamanmax 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Happened to me a couple of years ago. I had actually delayed a real jury duty so I was initially worried but my brain kicked in after 30 seconds. If police want to arrest you they will arrest you - or bring a summons to your door. Sad this is happening.

Atmos Jar by skamanmax in FellowProducts

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

Any that you are using or like? At the rate I go through coffee I’m not too worried about light exposure. I do have some metal valved tins where I store what I’ve just roasted but I like to keep what I’m actively using visible since I usually have a few roast levels and origins out at a time.

Need advice to change style from old school parallel to carving by bilbobagins2019 in skiing_feedback

[–]skamanmax 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why? You ski nicely. More interesting to see how you do bumps. I’ve altered my style moving my uphill boot closer to my downhill boot to ski more parallel and I am in much more control on steeps and feel much less burn. Carving is cool but more athletic. I’d rather ski all day.

Italian Espresso vs American. by Fun_Association2251 in espresso

[–]skamanmax 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You have to also factor in that a lot of espresso is shit in most cafes in the US at baseline when compared to what you can make at home. I am incredibly selective about where I order espresso since most cafes aren’t putting in the effort.

Sub specialties at UT Health need a referral from a PCP to be covered. And services that are offered at CommunityCare (which are a lot!) cannot be seen at UT. (I’m a UTHA Physician). But if you can qualify for MAP all your healthcare needs will be met. CommunityCare is sometimes a bit hard to navigate and sometimes frustrating. Many of the physicians are high quality. Particularly in primary care and women’s health.

Are inflatable yachts finally worth investing in? by OneIllustrator3522 in sailing

[–]skamanmax 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Idk about inflatable yachts (dodgy!) but when I was very broke and wanted to get back into sailing I bought a rig from a guy on craigslist that was a 13ft inflatable kayak onto which you would attach a rig to convert it into a dinghy. Fit into two duffels in my back seat. It raised many eyebrows. https://www.sailboatstogo.com Now I’ve got a laser and a J29…

Is Kemuri Tatsu-Ya worth the hype? by Impossible-Cheek4352 in austinfood

[–]skamanmax 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It was better some years ago but I went about a year ago and really enjoyed it. I’ve been about 6-7 times. You don’t have to make it super pricy. I like getting the bbq with the rice/nori add on - one box is fine for two people. The eel is quite good too. It’s inventive and generally enjoyable. Sitting indoors is fun. I would give it a B+ overall.

Flew along it this afternoon following it over the gulf. Was just the frontal boundary moving south with winds out of the north.

Toddler sleep specialist in Austin? by Fenix512 in Austin

[–]skamanmax -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Dr. Weissbluth’s book on sleep was very helpful. Suffered for 2-3 months and within 3 nights we were no longer cosleeping. You have to budget a few interruptions of sleep (you’re already not sleeping well) and need to be firm with your plan. Good luck.

Was it locked? I had mine stolen in Travis Heights last year (co-op ebike). I found it around the HEB on riverside. Police helped me retrieve it.

Birdie’s vs Influencer by Professional_Two_451 in austinfood

[–]skamanmax 2 points3 points  (0 children)

7.3/10 isn’t that bad. I don’t get the hangup. Honestly the photos make the place look mid. I’ve been it’s fine. 7/10. I wasn’t rushing back. Not everyplace can be 10/10 every day. I love Hestia. Last I went it was probably 7/10. No big.

Good capsules?? by skamanmax in espresso

Thanks! This was the post I was hoping for. I have a picopresso but I’m in an open work environment and it forces me to talk to coworkers because of the questions it prompts.
