    "Realize fuck it, I can just ______, future me will have to clean it up" is technically true of literally anything that's physically possible. Excellent way to justify doing something.

    I've never cleared mine and just checked it, 1.04gb. I use the app an embarrassing amount, so I wonder if there's one specific thing that takes up a bunch of space.

    Yeah I had the original, and the pressure gauge for that had something similar at 12+ bars, but honestly I pulled it at like 13-15 bars every day for ~2 years and never had an issue so long as I had put it together neatly and sealed well

    I used a flair for a long time and loved it. Find a bean that's got a lot of body and richness at a very light roast, and then grind it as fiiiiine as you can get it. Then you can crank the absolute heck out of it and overcome any heat or extraction issues with some huge pressure. Gauge add-on is highly recommended, but as far as other solid cups from budget machines, Breville makes great user-friendly machines at around/under $500, my rec being the Infuser/BES840XL

    The only key is taste. A lot of people say that a 2:1 water to coffee ratio pulled in 28-35 seconds is what you want to aim for. That's a great place to start, but I love some sweeter light roasts at like 40 second shots for 40g of water, 20-21g of coffee, and pretty much no one would recommend that based on averages.

    So know what under and over extracted shots taste like, then aim for 40-45g water in 30 seconds with a 20-21g coffee dose, and decide if it seems more sour than you'd like (under) or bitter/cloying (over). If under, adjust to increase the brew time (experiment with both grinding finer and increasing the dose as the 2 best ways to increase extraction time). If you want to decrease the extraction time, your best best is to grind more coarsely.

    So learn what tastes under-extracted to you and what tastes over, and then you'll just have to adjust grind size and dose for each bean for the flavor you like most. Keep those settings and brew by weight until you need to adjust again.

    I feel like this is a great illustration of how the theoretical potential of AI appears so high, but also how in practice, realizing that potential is still so far off as to show more shortcomings in AI than capacity. And yet, folks are jumping in with both feet for the promise of a faster, inferior experience.

    TL;DR: This bot helped the writer apply to 17 jobs in one hour, but it also told some of them that he lived in Italy rather than the US, used the wrong employer's name in a cover letter, couldn't navigate certain applications, and required close supervision at all times. The bot user referenced in the title, who applied to nearly 3,000 jobs, got only 4 interviews. And the writer emergency terminated a Tom's Guide application because he actually likes them and didn't want to submit a low-quality application. So that's about how well it works.

    It often surprises me to see people with time, money, and knowledge settling for subpar experiences that have night and day differences to me. Even at my brokest (pretty darn broke), speakers, headphones, and glasses were always worth researching and some saving up, and the difference between what I'd end up with and the average always feels like it paid off tenfold. I've got a surprising number of friends/acquaintances who just don't seem to care, though, and I am trying to understand if they just don't experience the difference similarly or if they don't mind. I know musicians who just continue using generation 1 airpods or the headphones included with their phone, birdwatchers who don't care about their binoculars, people who don't care if they could easily make their food taste better, and more examples of people who, in my opinion, could get 50% better results/experiences by putting in 1% more thought/effort. When I've asked some friends about it, it sounds as much like they just don't care as they don't experience the difference as starkly as I do, but I have a hard time understanding that, as it's most often an objective sensory difference. Like I experience the difference between different pairs of binoculars and speakers dramatically, and graphical analysis backs up the differences, so how could they sound/look negligibly different to others? Is it just a matter of my priorities not being others' priorities, or do they actually experience the difference between various levels of quality as smaller than I seem to? What's your take on both major and, at the high end, diminishing returns on higher quality sensory experiences?
