FRIDAY NIGHT [OT2] - Official NeoGAF Weekend Kickoff REDUX

Nice, that's a great machine. What grinder do you have? Sette 270? Niche?
Barataza Encore. My first burr grinder. It was a game changer coming from a blade grinder.

Oh nice, that's a great grinder. You gotta let me know how well it works for espresso. I had an Encore a long time ago and ended up switching to a Baratza Sette 270 for espresso, but I know they've since updated the Encore and made it better for espresso grinds.

You might want to look into the stepless mod though. That would really help for micro adjustments when dialing in your grind.

Good to know I've got a resource here at Gaf when I need help.

Someone who knows his way around good coffee. Halleluja!
 
Just came back from my latest chemo treatment and I noticed something which I can only qualify as "preferential racism".

I can't recall seeing even one black person receiving treatment.
It's all a bunch of us whities in there 😄

I imagine they have enough bad luck getting murdered by police that even cancer went "Ouch I think I'll pass". 😆

I think you've mentioned it before, but I've got a bad memory (ironically, from a shitload of chemo). What kind of cancer are you dealing with again? I hope everything is going well. 💙

Yes I do remember you mentioning your own adventure with cancer 🙂

Mine is basically spreading to the lungs from my original tumor in my colon + metastasis to the liver which were eradicated im 2018.

The treatment is working so far.
I had 4 spots on my lung but now 2 of them have vanished and the other 2 have considerably shrunk.

It's important that chemo does its job because this cancer is inoperable at this location.

The side effects remain annoying but much more tolerable so I'm treating this more like a "vacation" for the remainder of my treatments than an ordeal 😁

High Five my cancer brother! 😃

I found my new Gordon Ramsay fix.
Master Chef USA on Prime.
He's one of the 3 judges.
But he's smiling a lot and hugging contestants.

Ya kind Ramsey is better. It is why UK kitchen Nightmares from what must be 20 years ago is superior. Because it isn't about yelling at people it is about teaching them.

There is also his Ultimate Cookery Course, that is UK based. And it is very good. I do not use many recipes from it, but it is entertaining and there are techniques and idea you can learn and use.
 
He has a permanent invite as a former winner but I do not think he is playing. Still not feeling great I think and dating Don Jr's ex wife. Tiger is relevant to golf for what he use to be, but I do not think you will ever see him be competitive in a major again.
That sucks.

I don't follow golf, so all's I know are Tiger Woods and Happy Gilmore.

So shortly after I moved in with my girlfriend, we were watching sitting on the couch watching tv. We had rented a older house which we didn't quite have the furniture for and it was quite stuffy, especially in the summer due to the limited windows that opened. So we positioned an oscillating fan against the wall to blow toward us and one to blow across the couch. I'm sitting by the out side arm of the couch, and she was by the wall that evening. I farted, like I'm known to do on occasion and I was hoping it would go unnoticed/commented on and unfortunately of me and more for my girlfriend the breeze currents from the fans managed to trap the fart right where she was sitting by the wall.
It was a bad one by my standards.
