Fresh up on CoffeeGeek this morning, a full review of a budget-oriented competitor for the Acaia Lunar; a smart coffee scale that fits on most espresso machine drip trays: the MHW-3Bomber Cube 2.0 Mini Scale. Find out if it's worth the $45!
With regards to the charging situation, my guess is that it doesn’t support USB-PD and you should use a “dumb” power adapter like one of the old 5W Apple cubes. I don’t think using a USB-PD adapter would actually damage the scale but I haven’t been willing to test that yet! It’s unfortunate that that USB-C has two different charging situations.
For the first time in years, I won’t be watching an Apple event live, as I’m attending an espresso brewing course in a few hours.
Hoping to avoid any spoilers and watch the event after the course. Hoping I’ll have enough self-control to stay off Mastodon until I’ve watched the event tonight 😄
As we do our silly Chicago tradition of dyeing the river a violent shade of green, I think it's a good time to remind people that our ancestors reversed the flow of the river to provide safe drinking water from Lake Michigan and earlier, in the 1860's, lifted the entire city to improve drainage and public health.
Remember that any time someone says heat pumps and renewable energy are hard.
@TechConnectify similar vibes to when someone tells me that we can’t add enough capacity to the grid to charge electric cars. I’m not sure what they think happened when modern air conditioning was invented 🤷♂️
@kissane it really is, and yet I see people fail to do so on a regular basis, even at a place like Y Combinator where you’re constantly reminded to do exactly that.
They're talking about grade inflation at the Ivies again. And OK, fair. Everyone gets an A. But can we also talk about educator inflation? Educator inflation is a good thing! By educator inflation I mean: the typical educator at a top tier university today, is miles better at educating, than the typical educator at that same institution 50 years ago.
The field of education is not static. There are constant advances in how material is presented, and how students are supported.
@brinnbelyea@bynkii@mekkaokereke Purdue was brutal like that too. I would see 50% of a class fail a test on a regular basis. I hope things have changed.
Earlier I griped about black/ruff formatting similar #Python lines differently because of their varying line lengths. After looking at it more, I decided to reduce the duplication in the lines, which shortened them, making the meaning more visible:
