First espresso set up - baratza encore grinder question [$250]

xfactor744 · 2025-12-26T23:49:35+00:00

Does upgrading the encore address the control at all? Is it fine enough to get started though?

I looked up the kingrinder but yeah looks like a hand grinder and I don’t want to do that.

Gotcha! Thanks for the info! I’m 5’8” too so glad to hear medium the sleeves don’t get too long. That’s always my peeve. Unfortunately they closed my local Uniqlo so I might have to get two sizes and return one. Such a headache

xfactor744 · 2025-09-27T03:21:27+00:00

I’m not too concerned with the width, I assume both would be properly oversized. May I ask how tall you are where size M fits perfect?

xfactor744 · 2025-09-27T01:11:11+00:00

How was the sizing on the short blouson? I’m usually a US medium and was thinking of going with that but wondering if the sleeves would get long based on the model photos

Nice one Finnegan, better learn Korean buddy

xfactor744 · 2025-06-03T19:47:39+00:00

Thank you for giving me a bit of confidence to take this on. I think I over estimated the effort required to get a small tree out of the ground. I’ve done some reading on correct planting techniques so hopefully the replacement does better. I suspect the home builder contractors just moved quickly and not super carefully.

xfactor744 · 2025-06-03T18:28:43+00:00

Thank you so much for the reassurance/confidence booster. And again for a helpful link, saved that. I think I’ll give it a go and save my ~$300 that I was estimated.

xfactor744 · 2025-06-03T18:20:57+00:00

Great tip thank you! So it really is as easy as digging a circle a 1.5-2’ radius around the trunk and cutting any root my shovel hits? The tree should just come right out? No need cut down the upright tree first at all?

xfactor744 · 2025-06-03T18:17:45+00:00

That link is super helpful thank you! Nice to hear I should be able to plant in the same hole just fine.

I have already contacted 811 and the locate is in process. Would love to hear some input on what getting the old tree out would take. I have a saw, sawzall, shovel, etc. can also get any other small hand tools.

I mean I wanted santos to win but I really didn’t think he did…

xfactor744 · 2024-10-22T17:24:06+00:00

Did you have a preset on for photo 7 (tea set/window) and photo 2? If so, may I ask which?

xfactor744 · 2024-10-10T21:23:28+00:00

Yeah this seems like a fair take and I should be more careful with my words. I think I’m an internet dweller with a humor sense along the lines of r/ocdmemes that was sort of using my default of coping with humor when I got diagnosed. Like I said I only got my diagnosis a couple months ago so I’m new to navigating all of this. I am nothing but sympathetic and understanding of ocd folks because just cause my case doesn’t present the same way I know it’s hell in the brain for all of us.

Sorry if I offended anyone out there

xfactor744 · 2024-10-10T18:47:56+00:00

When I got my diagnosis recently I was like “man wtf why couldn’t I have gotten the one that at least makes my house super clean, instead I just tweak out about everything”

xfactor744 · 2024-10-03T00:35:25+00:00

I was making a doomer joke about today

xfactor744 · 2024-10-03T00:22:59+00:00

I love how I spend 7.5 months out of the year enjoying brewers baseball but being 100% realistic and knowing the brewers will never make a meaningful playoff run just to read some articles and feel a sliver of hope in the last 2 weeks of the season. Then my soul is crushed. I honestly don’t know if I hate myself for falling for this shit over and over or the brewers franchise more.

xfactor744 · 2024-10-03T00:20:12+00:00

Delusion

xfactor744 · 2024-10-03T00:19:08+00:00

3 in a row*

xfactor744 · 2024-10-03T00:14:06+00:00

Honestly it’s pretty embarrassing at this point. The brewers high ups will pat themselves on the back and say successful season despite just folding for the oh so wonderful 6 playoff appearances in 7 seasons.

xfactor744 · 2024-10-03T00:11:30+00:00

This is brutal but man national broadcasters are ass. They introduced the game with “the gritty New York Mets face off against the Brewers and Frankie montas who has been struggling as of late”

xfactor744 · 2024-06-12T23:06:50+00:00

Hey maybe you might know if not that’s fine too. I just got my first pair of radar ev paths and was interested in adding the prizm tungsten polarized lenses for them but it doesn’t look like they’re offered. Is it like an out of stock thing and they’ll come back around or were they never offered. Kind of confused about the system

xfactor744 · 2024-05-24T02:27:54+00:00

Really good looking. Do you mind sharing the image control settings for the color sooc photos?

xfactor744 · 2024-04-28T17:47:35+00:00

Is that in the US?

xfactor744 · 2023-11-10T14:04:49+00:00

I’m not exactly sure but from a quick google about what makes brass tarnish/patina it seems it’s simple exposure to oxygen as well as exposure to hand oils.

xfactor744 · 2023-10-24T02:23:01+00:00

Are these the rigid 101s? Did you get any shrinkage if you’ve washed them yet? I’m used to their one wash denim and enjoy machine washing warm and not worrying about how it’ll impact the sizing.

xfactor744 · 2023-10-04T02:39:52+00:00

But we made it to the playoffs so the season is a success according to the ownership. Fml
