She’s had years to train up a successor, at this point it’s just blind power hungry arrogance.

I use it for espresso and pour over.

I’ve been using a refurbished Baratza Sette 270 for years and am really pleased with it. Very minimal grounds retention, which is important for me since I switch beans often.

I use malic acid to tune acidity, earl grey tea to play with tannins, and you can always cut up a few pounds of apples and throw them in there to get some of the flavors from the skins + flesh.

Sounds very cool. What water temp did you go with initially?

You can have local models, but the vast majority of people are going to farm that out to a 3rd party provider via API calls because it’s the easiest thing to do.

Remember I said “It all depends on how you implement it”.

It all depends on how you implement it. He describes the text from images as using machine learning, which implies using an external API to do that translation.

There are a few different things touched on in your comment, and I’ll try to respond to them all, sorry if I miss any.

1. Losing jobs with no demand is not a bad thing. If you list a job, and nobody will take it for a year, then the market doesn’t want that job. There is an tendency to obsess over the number of jobs as a marker of economic health, but it’s a correlation at best.

2. The restaurant industry specifically is hugely over saturated, plenty of restaurants succeed paying a living wage, if you can’t then you need to make adjustments (e.g. change menu, move to a different location, etc).

3. A restaurant which can’t turn a profit is a hobby, not a business.

I imagine that at some point a UBI will be necessary, due to the lack of jobs lost to automation, but the purpose of UBI should never be to support the exploitation of workers. In fact it’s thought processes like that which make people argue against implementing UBI “Well if my landlord knows I get 1000 a month from UBI he will just charge me 1000 more for rent” or “If my boss knows I get 1000 a month from UBI then he’ll drop my salary by 1000 a month”.

I might be mistaken, but I don’t think Sync Ultra is the same thing as the ad-free sync premium. Sync Ultra is a subscription because it adds functionality that requires cloud resources, not just removes ads.

I think even more broadly, they want to encourage the harassment of anyone who goes outside their definition of what is culturally acceptable.

At this point it’s like saying that water is wet.

In my experience playing Original Sin 2, it really depends on your party members and how invested they are in the story. Generally we’ve had a party leader who essentially leads what’s gonna be happening that play session.

Really solid assessment!

“No such thing as bad publicity” comes to mind.

Are there any apples in there?

The last time Trump received a target letter from the DOJ (6/7/23) he was indicted two days later (6/9/23).

Let’s hope for a similar timeline.

That’s how you know they’re starting to feel the pinch of people being fed up with them.

You need to talk to a professional (e.g. A therapist familiar with bipolar). This would be complicated even if you didn’t have the added complication of the bipolar mania.

But if you won’t do that, here’s a TL;DR.

You do not know this person. A lifetime has passed since you knew them. You are painting a rosier picture of the past than necessarily existed. Do not throw away what you have for a fantasy.

I usually source mine as concentrate. It’s much easier to get your hands on.
