below the horizon in both cases

I have a distressing memory about this from a party I went to a couple of years ago. It was mostly people in their mid 20s. One of the people I talked to was a 27 year old girl who was really into indie games. I handed her my phone with my Steam library and we chatted for 20 minutes about the games we'd been playing as she scrolled through it.

Later in the night I found her standing slumped over in the hallway. I didn't recognize what was happening and I got very worried. I asked "excuse me, excuse me, are you okay??"

Still folded over, she cocked her head up to look at me. The expression on her face was somewhere between dazed and starry-eyed. She said "YOU'RE BEAUTIFUL", reached her arms up and tried to grab my face. I ducked out of the way and left.

Someone told me that she got like that at every party.

The memory is seared into my brain. I still think about it and worry about her. I've seen fent folding in unhoused people before, but seeing it happen to someone I never would have expected really got to me.

The only good episode of the Book of Boba Fett with Boba Fett in it was just Dune in a trenchcoat

I know a former teacher in China who told me that it's a very respected profession there, in the same way that doctors and lawyers are respected in the west.

Racing sims are 11/10 in VR. Any cockpit game really. No going back for me.

The architect is colouring all the balls

The senior developer is arguing with the architect

The junior developer is cannonballing somewhere in the middle

the funniest thing about this post are all the commenters calling it catgirls and yuri

Every single piece he makes has so much thought, effort, research, and real skill behind it. Sometimes he needs to make half a dozen specialized tools from scratch just to machine a single part. He does it all while taking excellent footage, and somehow he has enough skill and leftover energy to edit the footage into excellent videos. He deserves mad respect.

It's definitely normal and probably designed that way to help feed the beans in. The whole motor and burr assembly is mounted on rubber grommets, it will move.

I have the non-ESP Encore with an M2 lower burr and it has the same issue with coarse grind, but I found a trick that helps a lot.

Do you notice that the hopper moves around while you're grinding? The hopper and the ring burr are both slotted in to the adjustment mechanism, which is a plastic ring with channels that the tabs of the ring burr follow. The adjustment ring on my grinder moves around a good amount when I push on it, which means the burr also moves around and causes a less consistent grind. The force of the adjustment ring moving also kicks the hopper around.

The trick is to push down on the hopper while you're grinding to get rid of all the slack and keep the adjustment ring in place. I find it grinds a lot better when I do that.

The downside of this trick is that it puts more strain on the tabs of the plastic ring burr holder. All the force that was moving the adjustment ring around will go into those tabs. It's a sacrificial part that needs to be replaced occasionally with normal usage, holding the hopper in place will make that happen sooner.

I've also got the non-ESP model and the calibration won't affect how consistent it is. It just changes where 0 starts and 40 ends without changing any other characteristics, so it'll grind exactly the same at a particular size.

 
 
 

Pretty cool that they're doing a separate game like this. I wonder if there will be VR support.
