Could also be rsync, recent vibe coding changes there broke things and maintainer is also getting pretty annoyed with the comments.

Gloria Caulfield, an executive for Orlando-based property developer Tavistock, was met with a similar reaction at the University of Central Florida on May 8. The school's arts and humanities graduates booed when she equated the rise of AI to the "next industrial revolution." Moments later, they cheered when she said, "Only a few years ago, AI was not a factor in our lives."

Why is a property developer even talking at an arts and humanities graduation? Universities have a long standing tradition of shitty commencement speakers that benefit the school rather than the students. Wouldn’t be surprised if the school was looking for some sweetheart development deal here.

I remember my graduating class giving shit to our school for picky some high ranking general, likely as a result of the large amount of DoD grants the school gets. That guy got boo’d too when he spoke, effectively trying to give a recruitment speech.

Moka pot is probably the hardest common brew method to get right. If everything is coming out as sour, from specialty roasters to super dark grocery store beans, it’s most likely a process/technique issue rather than the brewer. I can give a few suggestions:

1. Explore grind size more thoroughly. While marketing says it can be used for moka pot, it’s probably stretching its limits and I wouldn’t trust published chart numbers on range. Typically, if it’s sour, it’s under extracted and you should go with a finer grind size and increasing the amount appropriately. In another comment, you said going coarser gave better results so can try going even coarser as it’s possible it’s to too fine and over pressure is causing some form of channeling. Also, probably do a once over on your grinder, making sure everything is put together well and is zero’d properly.
2. Double check the recipe you are using matches your pot size. Moka Pots come in different sizes so using a recipe for a larger/smaller pot could yield poor results.
3. How are you applying heat? Constant heat until it’s done or taking it off/on based how it’s brewing? What does the stream of coffee look like, is it smooth and almost syrupy or bubbly and violent? As long as you are starting low and the stream is coming out smooth, I probably wouldn’t worry about heat much. If it’s coming out fast and bubbly though, turn down the heat or remove it from the heat completely when it starts going.
4. Make sure you aren’t over tightening the pot. While it should be hand tight, you shouldn’t need to crank it super hard. You did mention that 5-10 ml leaks out which shouldn’t happen but could if its too tight due to overpressure.

Don’t expect to be blown away, e-ink tech moves very slowly. Most of what’s changed since then is probably improved responsiveness, while maintaining similar levels of sharpness and contrast, and the introductions of other players into the market, such as those based on android.

Which kobo did you use? If it’s one of the color ones, it’s going to be much more grey than B&W e-readers due to the extra color filter layer. All the color e-readers have this drawback and rely on the front light to improve contrast.

If you don’t need color, just go with the latest gen of a black and white reader, which should be using Carta 1300 I believe, with the software you’d like. Could also go with an older generation if you want to save a few bucks, such as carta 1200, all you would sacrifice is a bit of contrast and some responsiveness.

Yeah, my story is purely anecdotal, plenty of people have died from downed lines, especially instantaneous failures in high weather events. just not in my limited experience. Just want to give some counterpoints as the failure cases can be silent but deadly to the general public, unlike most other underground utilities.

One point for above ground is that it is far easier to know when it’s damaged to the point of being unsafe for the general public and much simpler and quicker to repair. For underground, you don’t know that until there is a failure that causes outages or someone/something gets hurt.

While I have seen numerous downed power lines, I have not know anything actual hurt by them. On the other hand, I have known multiple dogs who’ve died stepping on top of electrified access points while out for walks. While this is purely anecdotal, it’s not black and white either.

Other underground utilities have more obvious failure signs to the public (smells, flooding, water damage etc) and generally have minimal short term consequences while electrical faults tend to go unnoticed until a significant failure event (i.e. power goes out or something gets killed). Our town has hundreds of reported natural gas leaks, that is take years to fix while pole repairs tend to happen within an hour of being reported with police standing by until the crew shows up.

Underground lines, when damaged can also be dangerous. I’ve known of multiple dogs in may area who’ve died instantly just stepping on top utility access points that become electrified due to damaged underground lines. For overhead lines, if it’s not down, it’s generally not a safety hazard to the general public and if it is down, vast majority know to steer well clear of them and report the damage.

Should also check to make sure you don’t have any utilities buried in the path you want to trench. Many localities will have a number you can call and they will tell the various utility providers to flag any buried infrastructure they may have in the area.

100m is probably fine but you are at the limit of the spec. If you don’t want to deal with re-running the line if you do end up have transmission issues, fibre is better.

Probably worth double checking local regulations but most don’t care about low power lines like Ethernet. Definitely put it in a conduit though, to both protect it and make any future modifications easier. Should also cover it with a layer of different medium, such as sand, so you know when you are near it if you do need to dig it up again.

They can nest in pretty much any nook they can fit into, especially if it came with a tasty mouse snack. Doubt they would spend much time in your house though as they tend to roam their territory rather than stick around to a particular spot.

Possibly a stoat? They are long like a ferret and pretty prevalent.

Manual grinders are a great budget option, they punch well above their weight, comparable to electric grinders that are 2-3x the price. I’ve been happy with my 1Zpresso X-Ultra for pour overs. While it can do espresso, it’s quite a bit more work when you get that fine in grind size.

For espresso, I was able to get a Timemore 078s at a discount that I’ve been happy with it though there are a lot of options these days for electric grinders in the $300-$800 price range.

As a quick hack, you can also pair a manual grinder with a cordless screwdriver/drill. Just go easy on the power as it shouldn’t take all that much to match or exceed hand power.
