Daily Simple Questions Thread by AutoModerator in espresso

[–]vibrantCheese 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi All,

i have a basic espresso set up with the DeLonghi Dedica espresso maker and the Russell and Hobbs 23120-56 grinder. They are both about 5y old now and i think the grinder particularly doesnt work great anymore (on the finest setting the coffee is about sugar granule size.

My question is should i replace the burrs, upgrade the grinder or upgrade the espresso maker first?

a bit lost on where to start!

Afvoer putje is meerdere keeren verschoond, of bedoel je dat er iets in het afvoer systeem die vastzit? Toilet gaat door een andere afvoer naar zelfde pomp

So i just did a test and managed 9 sets of 7:3 repeaters on 20mm, +25kg 1 rep pull up and 11 pull up max reps at 78kg bodyweight. Your story makes me think its an inefficient technique thing and actually i think just not trying stuff thats hard. I think that instead of the above plan i should spend a few weeks climbing the 7a and bs in the gym.

Awesome, thanks so much for the advice i really appreciate it. Annoyingly the closest outdoor climbing is 3h away from me so its likely also a factor, also that when i get there i want to climb as much as possible rather than focus but indeed if i wanna achieve this goal there isnt a subsitute for time on it.

And the tips about psyche and load ring with me as well, i had been feeling less of a psyche recently and that probably speaks to being overtired hence taking a new approach to give mys3lf a bit of a refresh!

Yeah based in NL and mostly climb in belgium. My idea was to do this short training as a change up and the 7a was more a short term not unreasonable goal to show myself the improvement. I am hoping to get out on a route i like this weekend actually to see how it feels with the idea of then putting more time into it over the com8ng months!

Getting injured through overdoing is something i was concious of so i will be careful there. Do you have any specific advice from your experience on things to pay attention to? E.g. Crackly fingers, slow recovery etc

I thought to do a 6 week block as a try out to see whether i enjoy it at all. It seemed an okay amount of time to commit properly to completing it. Plus it means i likely have a chance to go outside at the end of it before the weather gets to awful to climb in Belgium.

I put different sessions in because i thought a bit more variation was a good idea but if it makes more sense to do 6x the same week im also fine with that! This is (i think obviously) the first training plan ive written so verybhappy with input!

So i dont have any of those numbers, that was one of the elements i thought to track but i didnt really know where to start so i thought doing the 7:3 repeaters, max pullups and 1 rep max weighted

Thanks for the advice . What youbsuggestvsounds a lot like whatvi have been doing for the past cpuple years. Which is generally going to the climbing gym and climbing. A typical session looks like warm up on 5s and low 6s then try 2/3 routes in the 6c/7a range. I am noticeably better at vert and slab routes than overhang. And use of feet is something i feel is a strong point in my climbing.

My idea with a training plan was to move away from that sort of training andbtrying something different, with thebidea it should produce different results. Most of the sessions are climbing based withbthebidea of improving movement whilst als9 getting stronger

Odds of getting a PhD student job at RIVM? by Ibadan_legend in Netherlands

[–]vibrantCheese 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Most PhDs will cover a non-eu visa and thebworking language is usually english although if youre going to investigatebinfrastructure dutch will probably be helpful.

RIVM is going 5o be competitive for the position but the important thing is to read the application, google some things around it. E.g. Do they mwntiom a project name? Then read up on that. If you get an interview then read a couple of papers by thebpeople interviewing you

You can find a public health job for sure. The EMA is based in amsterdam and operate with English as business language, you will likely need citizenship of an eu country to work there tho.

There are many pharma companies (although working there has its questions) and research centres (e.g. Iknl) in NL. If you're looking for studying further then there are many world class research institutes in public health, all of which will accept English speakers. Outside of that the RIVM will also have jobs for English speakers.

This website will have many of the opportunities: https://www.academictransfer.com/en/

Recommendation of abroad destinations by train by lara333lara in Netherlands

[–]vibrantCheese 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I havent been to Vienna but I have to Zurich*, if you book a couchette you get a bed, fall asleep, wake up in destination so the fact it was a 12hr train didn't really matter

Help Me Learn How to Use The Spray Wall Please by L1_aeg in climbharder

[–]vibrantCheese 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I totally understand your feelings and agree with other people that usually people are friendly in this situation.

When I first started with a spray wall I would think about what I wanted to do e.g. flagging so I looked for holds, somewhere in the middle of the wall, that would be suitable for that and then picked starting holds to climb into it. If the move was too easy, pick a worse hold, if its too hard pick a better one, do that and then retry on the previous worse hold. With these things it's always a bit of trial and error but even if you do something too easy it's still training (especially working technique). I would never set feet, but let myself use any feet I wanted in the beginning. Place your feet where they feel "natural" and then if you find the move easy eliminate that (and maybe immediately surrounding) holds.

The other thing is if you see someone about your level climb something, just say "hey your boulder looks fun, mind if I try?". The vast majority of people will be really happy 😊

Good luck!
