because those states follow those pesky rules and regulations established by the fed gov't. texas didnt want nothing to do with that shit, though, so they went off and made their own power grid with their own lack of rules because they favored profits over people. like, this exact thing happened just 10 years ago and what did texas do? double down on placing profits over people --- Playing: Yakuza 3; Hades; Dead Cells; You see it your way, I'll see it mine and I'll be fine |

Virtuoso's are crazy good wish i could have afforded one at the time lol i think the difference was like <$50 when i got mine. i figured for something i plan on using daily for many years, the extra $50 was worth it. i've read that you can buy just the burrs and install them yourself, effectively turning the Encore into a Virtuoso. this dude on /r/coffee was just talking about it: https://www.reddit.com/r/Coffee/comments/lkg9o2/baratza_encore_m2_burr_upgrade_tip_washer/ [LFAQs-redacted-quote] good idea. my evolution was slow and steady over years. i went from : auto-drop with 8 o'clock pre-ground coffee -> auto-drip with Trader Joe's coffee ground at the store -> french press with TJ ground in store -> french press with TJ ground at home -> aeropress with TJ ground at home -> aeropress with better beans (happymug.com) -> pour over with happymug (including scale) -> pour over with happymug + filtered water -> pour over with locally roasted single origin (where i am now) --- Playing: A Plague Tale: Innocence; Hades; Dead Cells; You see it your way, I'll see it mine and I'll be fine |

I use the Hoffman method. i do as well when i do french press. grinding finer brings out more flavors and his method of letting it sit for 8+ minutes longer and then slowly pouring eliminates any fine particles from the final brew. if you don't want to wait 12+ minutes for your coffee just grind coarse and skip steps 3-5. just press and pour --- Playing: A Plague Tale: Innocence; Hades; Dead Cells; You see it your way, I'll see it mine and I'll be fine |

I've had my card number stolen before. both of these reasons. when money is invested it's not immediately accessible because you need to liquidate whatever stocks/investments it was tied up in AND THEN you have to worry about the taxes/etc for selling an investment. i have my 'emergency fund' in a savings account so i can access the money without delay or inconvenience. this is typically ~6months of expenses plus whatever surplus savings i have that has not been invested yet. i also keep a minimal amount in my checking because i have that account tied to electronic debits for paying bills. not long ago something happened to my father where folks hacked his insurance company and used that account to drain his checking account of $20,000 over a few days in $5 debits. --- Playing: A Plague Tale: Innocence; Hades; Dead Cells; You see it your way, I'll see it mine and I'll be fine |
