What's the difference between a good and bad hojicha (in your opinion)?

What's the difference between a good and bad hojicha (in your opinion)?

I just started getting into hojicha powder. I've only tried one brand so far, which I think tastes amazing. It reminds me of coffee, except without the acidic-burning feeling (I can't drink coffee) so I love it. It's roasty and fresh and "burnt" in a good way.

I'm curious what less-good hojicha taste like? Are they just less flavorful? Or do they just have different flavors, and good/bad is based on personal preferences?

I want to finish the hojicha powder I have before buying more brands (but I also don't necessarily want to buy hojicha that's worse just to fulfill my curiosity) haha.

Do you count books in which you had to skip a chapter?

I know reading goals are just for myself, so there isn't anyone else making sure I did it (lol). Just curious your thoughts on if you skip a chapter (even if that chapter is at the end of the book. It's happened to me twice this year already. Both were memoirs and in one case it was too gross, and in the other case, too depressing. I think if it's more than 90% read, it doesn't need to count as DNF. Do you agree, or no?

My reading goal is 52 books this year, and so far I'm on track (if I count the two books with one chapter each I couldn't get through).

My vacuum problem is paralyzing me

I vacuumed the carpet. Then I vacuumed the hardwood. It left a trail of dust.

I know this is silly, but I feel overwhelmed by this problem. I'm not sure if some vacuums are just bad on hardwood, but OK on carpet. Or if my vacuum is broken. Do I try to get it repaired? Is this just how vacuums are? Should I just vacuum the carpet and not the hardwood (vinyl) or is it leaving dust on the carpet?

I don't know why I'm so paralyzed by this. I guess cleaning takes so much effort as it is that anything additional just makes me shut down. So now, instead of doing anything, now my apartment is dirty. It's been dirty for like two month because I literally don't even know what to do about this stupid problem. Maybe it's not a problem. Maybe you just don't vacuum non-carpet.

Can someone advise me on what to do, please?

Looking for help sorting through how to sell my belongings?

I need to get rid of a lot of things for a move. I'm looking for someone who can help me figure out what to sell and help me get started with how. I know about Craigslist and Marketplace, but right now I walk into a room and just feel overwhelmed.

Any tips for people/services? Like, temporary personal assistant and/or organization helper or something.

What "mistakes" do you see in film that you can know for sure were because of the director, and not the DP, editor, actors, etc.?

Mistakes are subjective, but I mean things that stand out to you that seem like either poor decisions or maybe even an oversight. Is it possible to understand who is responsible for which choices (or lack of choices).

Sometimes I'm watching a movie and there's something awkward that sticks out to me and I just wonder if every problem can stem from lack of vision, or is everyone just doing the best they can despite one jerk, or are some things just out of anyone's control, etc.

How do contacts correct astigmatism if they're not for astigmatism?

My contact prescription for my right eye is not for astigmatism, but my left is. My optometrist said it's because contacts will correct astigmatism without getting astigmatism contacts. How is that true?

My regular glasses prescription is
