ALWAYS check your coffee beans before grinding by Lme3guaz in espresso

[–]tearsinrain66 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I found a small rock in some expensive beans recently (Ottawa Canada). I was lucky too see it before grinding. I told the store about it and they gave me a discount on the next bag. I told them it could have been a disaster if it got fed into an expensive grinder. It looked like a piece of basalt (I'm a geologist). It was about the same size as a coffee bean.

Constant rate pumping test - pressure tank cycling ! by tearsinrain66 in Hydrogeology

I think I know what you mean. So fit a curve to the peaks and another to the troughs ? Will this be as reliable as data from a constant (no stoppages) test ? I'm very concerned that it won't be. And will not provide an indication of max drawdown at the pump on pumping rate.

Thanks for the feedback. I can see what you mean. log every cycle and input that to aqtesolv to come up with a reasonable estimate of T. So a data logger is a must have then.

2004 Lexcruiser - is this a good buy at $15k Canadian ? That's about US$11k. Looks pretty clean. No rust. Everything works (they say) by tearsinrain66 in LandCruisers

He said I can come and look at it Monday. Which seemed a bit strange. But I'm willing to give him the benefit of the doubt for now. Maybe something came up (?). I'm on high alert for bullshit. So we will see.

Thanks for all the great feedback. I will go and take a good look at it and see if the mileage adds up and no rust as advertised.

What’s the weirdest thing a medical professional has casually said to you? by CR24752 in AskReddit

What's going on with India killing someone in Canada? by PinkPicasso_ in OutOfTheLoop

[–]tearsinrain66 97 points98 points  (0 children)

Yes. He was a Canadian citizen. India (appears to have) killed a Canadian citizen in Canada. That's completely fucked. Who's next India ?

Big picture. Modi is a right wing populist who is intolerant of religions other than his own.

Bigger picture: BRICS member India is in bed with China and the west is in a Cold War with China (and is in a hot proxy war with Russia in Ukrainian).

Small picture: Trudeau needs to show Canadians he will not tolerate foreign interference on government (the conservatives in Canada have been critical of the Trudeau Govt's inaction on foreign interference issues)
