I have been dialing in espresso with a Vario grinder and wondering why I was getting such wildly inconsistent results. Turns out I mixed up the fine and coarse adjustment levers.

    I might have crossed my wires, it was probably just a forum post I misread. I happened to have new ceramic burrs so I went ahead and installed them.

    I got closer to a perfect pull this morning after adjusting the right lever! Unfortunately I'm out of that coffee now so the process restarts with the next bag.

    Is this comparing total number of visitors per year to inhabitants?

    If so, it's a misleading graphic because visitors only stay for a week or two.

    We water by soaking the plants in the tub, then letting them sit on towels before going back on the shelf. A bit tedious but only has to be done every 1-2 months.

    Cisco Webex.

    You think teams or zoom are annoying? This is much worse. The worst part is with some default meeting settings, a loud chime would play every time someone joined. People kept this on for meetings of 300+ people, then they started talking over the beeps once "the popcorn slowed down."

    Extraction is heavily controlled by amount of water, temperature, grind size, and time.

    To get an under extracted brew, you would use more water with a shorter brew time with a course grind at a lower temperature. This should give you something that's sour, weak, watery, with a thin mouthfeel.

    Overextraction would be the opposite. Boiling water in a preheated brewing device, fine grind, less water, steeped for a longer time. This should taste dark, bitter, burnt, strong, with a soupy grimy mouthfeel.

    You can make one cup of each at the extremes to taste the difference, and then use that information to tweak your regular brew one variable at a time. Look up the coffee compass to help understand what you're tasting and which direction to move.

  • Why Software Engineers like Woodworking

    I'm a software engineer who does woodworking, and I approve this message.

    But my favorite explanation: you grab your hand saw, and it works. You don't find out that the latest npm japanese-hand-saw-tooth package is incompatible with plywood, and you need to downgrade the package or buy new plywood to make a cut.

    Had minimal clearance between these overhead shelves and the garage door, and the perfect light spacing was a few inches away from the cross bars. So I designed these snap fit brackets to offset the lights inline. The lights make a huge difference, much more pleasant to work in the garage. What I learned: * there is some sag because the screws aren't at the top of the bracket. I would add a tab that protrudes on the side so I could add a screw higher. * the screw face split on layer lines on a few of these. Still works but not perfect, so I would make the screw face thicker. ![](https://lemmy.world/pictrs/image/9a7613ea-a380-4ca5-92a1-23844520f4fe.jpeg) ![](https://lemmy.world/pictrs/image/c198bdc8-c3ea-483b-906c-85e4f546f738.jpeg) Also printed cable management clips ![](https://lemmy.world/pictrs/image/7fe9d46a-4831-4f01-9345-1adc0bf2e9d7.jpeg)
