I just finished the last episode of Lower Decks.

And I am crushed.

Lower Decks, Strange New Worlds and Galaxy Quest (I know) are my three favorite Star Treks's of all time.

Now I've finished Lower Decks (and Brooklyn 99) and I don't know what to do or watch.

Won't you please help?

Suggestions:

I just switched from Bialetti old school to Venus. I have a 6 cup model. I know there should be some water left in the bottom.

But,

I have 1/2 cup left on the bottom and only about 3/4 - 1 cup coming out the top.

The water in the bottom is very dark and looks like weak coffee.

What might be causing this?

Is this normal?

Suggestions?

** Update: Thank you everyone. I have put less water in the pot. Yes, I was adding water above the line.

I get about 3/4 Cup of coffee up top and slightly less than 1/4 cup left in the bottom.

It sounds like y'all are telling me that this is "normal."

Thank you for your help.

I just upgraded from old school Bialetti to new stainless steel version.

Discovering this sub has taught me I didn't really know how to use it well.

I now have a clean new unit, a slightly coarser grind, and less water.

Now, my biggest problem may be that I am drinking an entire 6 cup pot every day... so, I may need a 10 cup...

Who remember's Mad Magazine bonus records in the magazine?

This song was great. It has 8 possible endings to the song. Here are all 8: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6mkHdnyr2RU

We need better time limits.

I just walked away from a game for several minutes, came back, and it is STILL the other player's turn. They are just diddling their cards around.

They ARE doing actions, so they are not using up their timer.

And they can keep going indefinitely.

I have had games in which 10 - 15 minutes + were just one person's turn.

I had written a few weeks back about my upcoming SW trip, the first one since the Private Equity involvement.

I had 4 flights across the legs of the trip.

The flights were all full but I was able to stow my bags onboard and not check anything.

The gate people seemed very unfriendly but were still helpful e.g, did their job.

Everyone working on board was very nice.

I would travel SW again.

I decided to upgrade my Southwest tickets.

When I went to pay, a pop up notified me the upgrade price changed while I was entering my information, approximately doubling to 456/person.

I used to Evangelize Southwest. Someone asked me if it was still the same after the private equity takeover. I said I don't know but I hope it will be the same.

The jury is out. It isn't.
