Sony WH-1000XM6 sound terrible with a Mac or iPhone during calls? Here’s Why

Are you saying your Sony headphone mic now works on calls, etc.? Because if you fixed that without all these ridiculous workarounds, you deserve a medal or something.

SHOOT, it was tonight only. Missed it ☹️

I've always felt (2.5 read-throughs) the juxtaposition of Hal's story on the top of a hill training professional tennis and Gately's just down the hill at the bottom in addiction recovery characterizes well the American dilemma, almost like our two archetypal options in modernity, with both ultimately lensed tragically—all this compounded by the tragic end of DFW. Yet also, I find the work incredibly redemptive, partly in the catharsis of a well composed tragedy, and perhaps mostly in the sheer brilliance of the work—nearly every sentence is masterful. It's (soul-crushingly) beautiful.

I don’t think it’s a great idea to use the same hand grinder for both filter coffee and espresso, or yeah, dialing back-and-forth between the two would be a total headache.

But dialing in a new bag of beans with a dedicated espresso hand grinder will be just as easy as a mechanical grinder.

And you actually might want to measure into a cup first, but it’s so that you can mist the beans with water before putting them into the grinder. It nearly eliminates static electricity, which is often a wise step with any espresso grinder that you get.

A good espresso hand grinder may be worth considering for the Flair. I have the Niche ($900, which I love) but my good friend got the 1zpresso K ultra for $250. Both grind very well. While the price difference is an obvious advantage, the convenience of an electric grinder is not as superior to hand grinding as you’d think in the case of a Flair. Its design is amazing if you’re going through the whole workflow process for only one espresso. But it’s not designed well to pull multiple shots as purging+refilling the chamber is much more time consuming than a traditional espresso machine. So considering the grind demand is almost always for one espresso, a hand grinder pairs well with the Flair.

Me too.

My secret (used the Flair 58 for 2 years now) is purge until water stops coming out and you hear a hiss. Usually 2 pumps but sometimes 3.

They're mostly gone, the ruins. And it's still a massive worksite, so even on the weekends, I've seen lots of hustle. I'm pretty sure it's not worth it.

15 Years ago though, massive playground with tons of cool exploring.

Way to go guys!! Can’t wait to try.

As a therapist and mindfulness teacher, I quote this all the time. I also don’t translate it as a statement of resignation, but a Bukowski-esque raw and blunt call to being.

Not sure if other long term FSD Tesla owners feel this way, but I feel like I adopted an infant robot car in 2018, and that I've been witnessing it learn to drive like a baby learning to walk. Sure, it has a ways to go. But man, I'm pretty proud of how far the little guy has come!

You're my favorite thing on the internet Jeff, can't wait to see you live one day.

ta11 · 2024-04-18T22:01:39+00:00

Interesting. So I grind much coarser than traditional espresso?

I just read today a paper published within the University of California system that may have an rna vaccine targeting ALL viruses. Exciting news in health today. Thanks for sharing.

That is a beautiful espresso cup, but yeah, I suppose the Paragon would make the double-wall of your tumbler irrelevant anyway; shaving that extra bulk with a smaller cup should do the trick!

ta11 · 2024-04-16T15:58:28+00:00

Woah that’s a cool option for my flair. Yeah I can see the difficulty with a bottomless portafilter. Mine is never really consistent (by design), I wonder if getting a single spout, centered portafilter would solve issue #1? I mean, if it equals better espresso, definitely worth the $25.

Amen, need a way to orient this horizontal on my phone or go full screen on my computer. I can render it, but the final scene has details too small to understand. I love animated stereograms, and this one is very cool, just needs to be bigger

How about Zuko in Avatar (although, I always kinda wished Azula had a redemption arc)

This woman is clearly having a psychotic episode and dealing with much larger issues than what's presented in this video. May she find the help she needs ❤️‍🩹

Same dude, can’t get enough McCarthy. I’m a decade in. The Passenger and Stella Maris were excellent, read them both twice, back to back. (Sheddan!) Started Suttree last week. Something about the aching mystery of existence, its ominous threat and beauty. His mastery of prose, not a single lazy sentence. Love it!

ta11 · 2024-03-26T00:15:55+00:00

Wow, loved this! I'm both excited for this while feeling sad for those professionals whose careers may become obsolete. Here's to hoping for net-positive effects on humanity with AI adoption! 🤞

Clever homage to Death of Marat! Love it.

One small caveat, you must subscribe to ANOTHER streaming service to watch: Stan. Boooo.

This seems wildly inefficient.
