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.

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?

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

When I first heard of the Kardashians, this is what I thought of!

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

Spiral notebook I keep in the bottom drawer of my office

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.

Biggest thing about Strange New Worlds is it isn’t trying to be too much, like Discovery. Discovery seemed to want to project an agenda. Strange tells an episodic story, with a little more overarching story, but not too much, enjoyable. In that regard it harkens back to the original Star Trek. I enjoy single stories encapsulated in individual episodes, and not a lot of pushing hard on some agenda.

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
