  • You’re getting downvoted for saying something sorta close to true, but not exactly. I agree strongly with everything you said here, though.

    Generally, with any complex human-machine interface, you want to cast as wide of a net for accommodation as possible because there are so many variables that come into play.

    Like if you are putting together a basketball team, you probably want a bunch of tall dudes, but you never know how many Muggsy Bogues’s are out there unless you let everyone play.

    For a fighter pilot, would you rather have a female with greater ability to distinguish color, or a male that can pull higher g’s? It’s impossible to say what specific traits would lead to the best outcome in all possible engagements.

    Even things like colorblindness can be a positive in situations because camouflage can stick out to colorblind people. Some types of deafness comes with immunity to motion sickness.

    This sort of thing happens all the time, and it’s usually subject to some level of debate. Just look at the ponderosa pine (pinus ponderosa. Some say there is one species with multiple subspecies, some say they are just different varieties, some say that they are different species, or some are and some arent, etc.








  • This is a great example of why to check before killing/removing any bugs from your plants. Same thing when you see eggs planted on your leaves. It would suck to crush a bunch of assassin bug eggs on a plant.

    I had yellow jackets build a nest inside one of my potted plants last year. On one hand, it’s a little sketchy, on the other hand, wasps and Hornets are great multipurpose predators if they aren’t located where they will bother you much.





  • The nuts at this stage smell very citrusy, almost. Apparently that doesnt last for nocino, but it might for the “molasses”. Also, be forewarned that the nuts are light green-whitish on the inside when you first cut them open, but they rapidly start to oxidize and the liquid inside starts to darken, and I bet it could stain your hands/clothes/cutting board if you don’t rinse quickly.








  • I am assuming they are just out of stock temporarily. I wanted one a while back and I just had to wait a little bit. If you email their support, they are super helpful.

    If you’ve never taken it apart, i would definitely do that before ordering stuff from baratza. There’s a good chance if you’ve been using it for a while that’s you have some broken bits of the paddles that clear grounds into the chute, and that’s easy to replace when you replace the burrs. Same thing with the upper burr carrier. It uses 3 points of contact to maintain a setting, and if one breaks, it’s not super obvious except in makes a less consistent grind. To get to that, you just need to pull off the hopper and upper carrier without any tools.
