Medical issues are not the only thing that can wipe out a year of salary in an instant. It’s just a straightforward example for a very large population, disaster isn’t going to be the same for everyone and if you’re someplace with strong safety nets be glad they’re there and SUPPORT them. Because I’m willing to bet you have at least one politician who’s suggested taking them away. And what may seem ridiculous today might suddenly be what’s happening if people don’t stay on top of protecting those safety nets.

Someone just discovered that salaries at legitimate non profits aren’t as high as their private sector equivalents I see

To people acting like everyone ends up in debt on purpose, feel lucky that you’ve not had financial disaster strike. Means can change in an instant, and what you thought was a huge safety net can be gone to a bad accident or hospital stay as quick as you can blink.

While shitty of Google, let this be your daily reminder to have multiple backups, in different places, of anything you deem important.

So the goal is to make your “ideal” shot for the beans you have. Reproducibly. So right off the bat if the ground weight out isn’t equal to the unground weight in (as close and reproducible as possible) then you’ll have to adjust other factors for each shot. Which can quickly become extremely complicated. Especially with static where the amount of loss is going to vary every time.

For folks who make espresso at home, especially if you’ve worked with a manual grinder of any sort, this is extremely well known. In fact when you first get started and start searching for how to deal with the static problem (cause it’s the first major problem you’ll encounter), it’ll be what comes up. So for future scientists.

That’s my household. We had stopped going to theaters probably two years before Covid even happened for all but the absolute biggest films we wanted to see. When we used to go to something literally every Friday for years. But the theaters kept getting worse and charging more and long ago crossed the line for “worth it”

Covid was just the last straw to really put some effort into making home better for movies.

Now? The only movie we have on our list that will get us out of the house for it is Dune part 2, and even that is iffy.

A few hundred. At the end of a “project/idea/thing” I’ll bookmark the entire set, dated, described, and close them all at once, things always come back in need later. It’s very satisfying.

For normal day to day browsing I have a window with about 15 pinned tabs that I just cycle through in the morning catching up on stuff and then close that window.
