In 20 or so years, when there are more voters unable to buy houses than there are voters who own houses, this should autocorrect.
The recent US trend of corporations buying up real estate to rent out is very scary because it will prevent this autocorrection.

Your hyper-alignment experience aligns with mine.
I swapped mine to the steel burrs to help with lighter roasts and longer espresso ratios 1:2.5 - 1:3, so this sounds like the opposite of your experience. Of course the steels also help with v60's down the other end of the macro range. Where is this information coming from, that the ceramics are better for light roasts?

Biggest problem was water temperature. They'd have a microwave, and one of those fancy taps that gives chilled or instant-coffee-hot water, but not hot enough for brewing, and no electric kettle. Can't put the gooseneck kettle in the microwave. I had a plastic gravy separator thing to microwave the water in for a while. Better to just use something less dependent on pouring technique, like aeropress or clever.

Wifey wants to be able to see who's at the door before answering. It seems difficult to match up the capabilities of the various options to what we actually want, so I'm looking for suggestions or recommendations. Don't want any cloud privacy nightmare nonsense. Don't really even want local storage. Just a live video stream from doorbell to iPhone and/or Android, triggered by the doorbell button. I don't have HA or any other smart home stuff set up currently, but might like to add it in future. Required features: * answer the door via iPhone, or Android, whoever picks it up first. * see who's at the door without letting them know we're looking. Like if I have to "answer" the doorbell before the video comes up, that'd be bad. * no cloud / subscription. * works without any storage. Nice to have: * Option to add recording/storage later if I change my mind. * option for Home Assistant integration later if I ever get around to it. * totally wireless / rechargeable. * motion detection I guess. Is there anything suitable out there? Edit: also nice to have i.e. not required * internet connection so I can see who's at the door even when I'm outside of my wifi range.

About to get my first plug-in car, and have some questions. I work in the software industry so I know that all apps eventually get discontinued or abandoned, so what happens to my home EV charger when the app it needs is no longer available? Are there generic home EV charger apps that work with other brands chargers? Can I just not install the app? I'm not saying I'd avoid installing it, but knowing how the charger would behave in this scenario is important information.

So I put the steel burrs in my Vario, hoping for more clarity in my espresso and a much improved V60. The pourovers are indeed a lot better than with the ceramic burrs, but for espresso... it's complicated. It's calibrated for chirp at 2Q, and I'm down at 1A, the absolute finest it goes, and the shortest ratio shot I can do is 1:2.5 (17g -> 42g, 25sec) This is fine for light roast single origins, altho it's a little scary being at the extreme end of the grind setting range. But I feel like I should still be able to pull a 1:2 shot from more traditional darker blends when I want to, without dismantling the grinder to swap the burrs back to ceramic. Can I safely calibrate it finer? Is it more likely the alignment? I did attempt the "alicorn" hyper-alignment procedure after swapping the burrs, but since then it's been sent off to repair the electronics, so the alignment may be suspect again. Are there any better resources or guides for the hyper-alignment these days? The two YouTube videos I followed were very confusing and seemed more of a proof of concept than a how-to guide. I don't really have the patience for multiple go-rounds of assemble/disassemble to wipe-check the alignment then adjust again. And I suspect doing this the first time was how the grinder electronics got killed. Any help or advice gratefully received.

When I'm driving with the phone is a dashboard mount, everything else on the phone is super slow and laggy. To the point where if something doesn't work via voice control, I'm afraid to do it manually like when stopped at a red light, in case I can't switch back to navigation before I need to make a turn. Google Maps on OnePlus 9 w sd888. Is there in existence yet a phone that's fast enough for task switching while navigating? Is it just Google maps being a resource hog? Is there a better app?
