I already have an espresso grinder (Niche Zero), so I don't need the grinder to do espresso.

My recipe is a 50g to 750g water ratio for french press. The Kingrinder K6 is a great grinder for pour overs, but it feels a bit muddy with French Presses and it's a bit annoying since I have to grind ~3 times to get 50g worth of coffee.

I am thinking:

• Fellow Ode 2
• Baratza Encore
• Eureka Mignon Crono Brew Coffee Grinder
• Eureka Peppe Coffee Grinder

1920s home with a Mitsubishi MSZ-FH15NA wall unit. It's great, but the problem is no one around takes apart the heads units to clean the blower wheel.

I am fairly competent in mechanical and DIY work and attempted to try it using the videos on YouTube to take apart, but it was way harder than it looked/seemed. I ended up breaking a clip because it was pretty hard to pull/pry off a certain part, and am afraid to retry.

I live in Seattle (if anyone knows a service that does this please lmk, I haven't found one that will).

We got a tip from one of the teachers at daycare to take pictures of their day, print them out, cut them out and make a rudimentary book.

It’s helped so much that they kind of know the routines and what to expect and how to expect it. It’s led to them kind of understanding things and not freaking out so much.

The books are about 6-10 pages long and are easily digestible. Page 1. I wake up and have breakfast with my family (picture of all of us eating). Page 2. Then my dad drives me to daycare and I see my favorite trees (picture of being in seat and a cut out picture of a tree). Page 3 I say hello to my teachers and my teachers give me hugs! Etc.

It’s been so helpful just constantly reading the book and getting them into the routine mentally before bed, once they got home and on and off times.

Driving below the speed limit and accelerating fairly normally on the main road, Seattle biker rolled through the side street stop sign and had to do a hard brake to avoid hitting them. Luckily nothing happened!

This wasn’t a four way stop.

Had a lathe and plaster home that was quite leaky. On a hot 90+ day the inside only got to 80 with Mitsubishi heat pump wall register AC on full blast. On a cold day it was cold.

Had a new home built and we went with a SIP design. R60 roof and R30 walls and floor. Didn’t cheap out and went all in on a graphite infused foam all the bells and whistles.

Currently it’s very bright and over 90 and super smoky outside. Our Mitsubishi heat pump is at 72 and it’s actually 72 inside and it’s barely running. Our indoor air purifiers are running beautifully. Our family is safe and comfortable.

It’s pretty freaking amazing.

Pure joy as we scrolled through the different games that were on sale, picked out a few that seemed very cool, downloaded very quickly and got to playing without a hitch.

We have a basic setup with a cheap LG TV so the quality isn't super great, but the controls have been really great for the games we're playing. We picked up Hades for under $7 and Golf With Your Friends for about $2 and they started playing both and been having a blast.

We have a Switch 2 and PS5, but this is getting a lot more usage. We're loving the controllers and the online play with other people.

Not sure if it's talked about in other reviews... but the achievements, online play and such is just an overall better experience than Switch 2 and PS5. Edit: What I mean about the achievements my kid is actively trying to get all the achievements which is fantastic.

1920s home that’s lathe and plaster. I live in Washington so the weather outdoors is usually moist as well as indoors.

When I run AC or Dry the room has to be closed for fire safety and it’s usually at night (kids room). It’s about a 10x10 room I think. Have the smallest mini split to it and even then it might be oversized for the room I think.

I’ve tried to run auto and set to 68, but even then it leaves a musty smell after cooling.

Heating is a okay.

No changes other than suddenly “scared” of the dark, but they can’t explain what or why.

Unsure if taking the 100 walks method where we’re cold and emotionless is the appropriate action; or taking a more warm approach and letting them know we get scared too etc.

They’ve been kind of crying/screaming and saying “I’m so scared.” They don’t really give reasons as to why. Unsure if genuine or just a stalling tactic.

Child has a pretty full and fulfilling day with us and preschool.
