I feel like I’m near the start of the FedEx route and end of the ups routes
My FedEx stuff arrived by like 11 the last two days
tips for tolerating fireworks for folks who don't like 'em (OK to RT)
It's that time of year again in the US when knuckleheads show their support for veterans by doing stuff that disturbs anybody with PTSD. Tips:
* wear earplugs or ear defenders
* you can help cover noises with tv, a radio, a fan, or a white noise generator, and by keeping your house closed
* if you feel shook up, it helps to have deep pressure, like from a weighted blanket. talking to somebody really helps, so don't be shy about calling a friend or a crisis hotline. bonus if you can make a deal with somebody to talk to you even pretty late at night.
* keep pets indoors so they don't get scared and run away
It’s 2020 and if you DON’T stan Juggalos then what are you even doing

Your reminder that Harvey and Bob Weinstein personally own the rights to Kevin Smith's 1999 film "Dogma", so a streaming or a new home video release is unlikely, but you can watch it for free on YouTube, and Harvey doesn't get a cent from that!

5: Once I get my grinder and have my whole thing set up I’ll try to figure out a way to set up my phone so I can take a video of a shot pulling because it is honestly just so beautiful
3: even though there wasn’t a lot of pressure the shots didn’t taste bad! Only a little sour, but still kinda sweet. Both shots were INCREDIBLY thin and had like, zero body and essentially just sorta felt like water in the mouth. Almost no texture at all
4: The whole set up and process and clean up and what not was super fun and pretty easy and I’m so excited to be able to have espresso again TT-TT
Ok so
IM SO SXCITED
Sadly, the Baratza Encore is NOT meant for espresso, and the hand grinder I ordered won’t be here until tomorrow so I won’t be able to really dial in until then.
A few observations though:
1: I LOVE THIS. Seeing the first few drops was magical
2: The FINEST grind setting on the encore I was only able to get at most 4 bars of pressure. Espresso machines typically pull at 9 bars 🙃
