  • Can someone define "liberal" (in its use as an insult) for me?

    Jump

  • Gotcha, so it means fake leftists almost? Does it imply someone is even further right than a current "centrist"? Or more like, "the center is right wing at this point, and so much so that even the Dems who are just left of center are still on the right [but therefore less than centrists still]"? This is not meant to be obstinate, your response was just very helpful and I want to bracket in on where folks consider liberals to be on the political spectrum so I can understand/use it properly.

  • I think the point is that to you, it's just semantics. But, to use your example, given that some people have started intentionally using "female" in place of "woman" as an (arguably) subtle way to exclude trans women, it suddenly becomes more than semantics to both trans and anti-trans populations. That's what Smotherlove is saying about "dog whistle" language only being transparent to the perpetrator and the victim.

    So from your/my perspective (admittedly assuming you're neither trans nor anti-trans), it's largely a case of "a few rotten removeds ruining it for the rest of the bunch." What should just be a semantic difference has been coopted and intentionally weaponized by some, so all of us have to be conscious of whether or not we're making that worse.

    It's also not a new phenomenon. Many epithets start as PC terms and then become offensive based on how a specific group starts to use them, notably, almost every one-time PC terms for Black Americans and people of color. Unfortunately, it's basically the reason that, for at least 100 years, (responsible) individuals/media have had to change terms for many marginalized peoples every 10-20 years, with many other examples, like "Oriental" and the terms that predate it, and plenty of others.

  • Does anyone use a coffee grind sieve to evaluate their grinder performance?

    Jump

  • I feel ya, the number of times I've opened up my gear to get just a few more months out of it til the next thing breaks...

    If you want to maximize versatility and quality for a good price, I'd consider getting a nice enough espresso-focused grinder and a really high quality hand grinder that can do coarse grinds well. Grinding coarse is fast and easy by hand, and you can get grounds as or more consistent than am electric grinder 3 times the price with something like a 1zpresso. But grinding for espresso can be harder, so that's one that's more worth a machine doing the work for you.

  • Very true, especially because taste (and the calibration of the grinder you receive) don't always line up with the grind size distributions you see other people make from experimenting. For me it's always had to be one at a time, compared to what I was using before and returning if the intended upgrade isn't satisfactory.

    It would be amazing if coffee shops started doing equipment tastings/comparisons as well as beans. We have a lot of cool cuppings/tasting courses here, but nothing for hardware.

  • I do/have used a Kruve an I've been very surprised with by my findings with it. In my experience, even very nice grinders I've tried still produce like 4% fines, and some midrange ones are maybe only 6%. By percent, that's significant enough, but in the end it's less than a gram difference, and therefore sorta hard to use as the comparison between 2 grinders. Sifting is also essentially worthless for that purpose if you didn't take the same measurement when the grinder was new, since you have nothing to compare the present to.

    I honestly think your best bet is going by taste. If you feel the quality of your cup has declined, that's probably the best way to be sure. Everything else is just a proxy for trying to determine how the cup will taste.

    Re: Why don't people fight for their pirating rights?

  • Lol they said "threatening violence" because it was the easiest thing to ban you with. The real reason you got banned is that you're a psycho, man. You sound like you are saying you wish you were allowed to hurt or kill your own children, and you're talking about them as property. That's crazy person shit.

  • Would Nuclear Weapons be as destructive in ship to ship space combat, as they are on the ground in an atmosphere?

    Jump

  • The shock wave needs a medium (air) to travel through. So if the bomb was touching a ship, it would certainly transfer kinetic energy, but if there was any space (not air) between them, there is still no shockwave for the ship to feel.

  • That's great to hear and thanks a ton for the quick lesson! Will definitely be looking more actively into growing.

  • That's super interesting. So then the caption means this was earlier than expected, but you wanted to trim asap to keep them from maturing further(?). I'm gonna get a box and set up one of these days but I just keep getting nervous about the likelihood of spending like 3 months on a plant and totally fucking it up

  • What are some good questions to ask your boss during your yearly review?

    Jump

  • Ask what the most important skills or experiences to develop are for the transition to level 2, if there are any new or unexpected needs emerging in the department, if there are any specific departmental or company-wife priorities or goals for the coming year, and if there's any way your specific role can more actively support those goals.

    Depending on the type of place, you can ask if you're perceived as taking feedback well and/or being up for a challenge, saying that you want that to be clear and would like to work on it if it isn't. The fine line is asking a question that seems like it's just meant to make you look good vs. a legitimate request for somewhere you can grow or do more good for the team/company, which is why keeping things focused on questions that will have actionable responses is a great move. Hope this helps and good luck! Sounds like you don't have much to be worried about if they're already prepping you for a promotion!
