Not in Denver, but I test ppm with water tester and I test acidity with pH test strips. I have an RO system in my house. I usually add minerals I get from the brew store, a little more for stouts according to what I’ve read.

I didn’t think I was, but after my wife and son said I was I took some online evaluations. Since then I’ve read more and more about it. I’ve shared some of my atypical behaviors, like being a little too literal sometimes, having difficulties in conversations, with my wife and it has given her a better perspective that has curbed things we previously argued about. I think I’m seeing more why I don’t quite understand other people, and my wife sometimes, so that helps preventing arguments.

Dirty Americano = shot of espresso, don’t remove grounds and run a second shot (two shots of water through the same grounds)

Thanks for that. I did skim the article, but didn’t find the definitions for each of the three. I have taken other tests. I’m mostly helped to understand how I act and interact, and it helps my wife see me differently, mostly in the different perspective I have and when I’m stuck on something but she’s moved on. I’ll look at the other links, too.

I’m over the top on all, too. 4.5, 3.67, and 3.5 I’m not diagnosed autistic, but my wife and son thinks I am, and on all other tests I’m in range. Where is the details on what these results mean?

Maybe they switched to only cans, so they don’t need bottle caps anymore.

I made what I call a Dirty Americano = two double shots of espresso (instead of adding hot water to espresso), in my espresso machine.

The Perfect Storm - the whole thing ended up being speculation from their last radio call in.

New brew is a stout. Old is a Weiss. The Weiss isn’t very tasty, though.

Is there a better solution? It would be nice if there was something (not complicated) that would auto restart if the flame went out. I’m just trying to figure out a good option and open to suggestions.

Thumb to finger taps. I do this often, more when getting nervous. I tap teeth to each other, too, feeling like I’m tapping one top to one bottom at a time. Going all the way around to tap all my teeth. I realized I’m tapping multiple teeth each time, but it’s a tap for each pair of teeth.

Counting steps in 4s on same surfaces, keep even-evens (2 steps each foot, 4 total) on the same surface. Watch ahead to know I’ll need to adjust steps when surface is going to change to keep to the 4 steps counts. I don’t like stepping on those bumpy surfaces at crosswalks that are indicators for blind people. I step over those.

Eon by Greg Bear. It’s interesting because it was written in the 80s, and the beginning takes across the early 2000s.

There are a few other books in that universe, 3 in that story line by Bedford, Brin, then Bear. Another series in the world, Caliban by Roger McBride Allen

My son printed one that is more funnel shaped to keep from losing any of the precious grounds.
