Possibly.. The ones I've had do that, they still taste fine, but I have to time the roast by smell, color, gut feel, instead of my usual "x length of time after 1C is rolling" or whatever. I'm not an expert! But yeah, some bags I've had, they crack quieter than others. And over the sound of the roaster, hard to tell...
Could it just be these beans have a quiet first crack? I feel like I've noticed that with some. (I use a modified popcorn popper btw.) Like, 1C will be a barely audible crackle for some beans. (I never go to 2C; can't comment on that.)
One of my favorite corners. You got Powell's, and that other tiny bookshop around the corner. 2nd Street thrift shop, mochinut, the Bagdad of course.....!
Whoa, never heard of this thing til now. I just looked it up. I'm surprised such a small thing can do that. Are you enjoying it so far? Your photo is great.
me too!!!! I went fully linux thinking "I'll figure it out," and I have, for everything except affinity. That hobby is basically on hold now. I might just finally check out (gulp) gimp.
Oof I'm sorry.... That sounds no fun at all. I definitely have misophonia about some things, mostly other people's mouth noises. If someone near me is chewing gum, I have to exit the situation before I go nuts. Last night I was watching a movie with my kid, and one of the actors was chewing gum, and I almost couldn't take that! Luckily for me, out of sight is mostly out of mind..... Once I feel that I'm in control of my sensory input (yay ANC headphones), I can relax. That part sounds a little harder for you.
Welcome! It was hard to leave reddit, sorta.... there are some good communities here, but we just don't have the numbers that reddit does. I'm mostly ok with it. :)
Also, I didn't find out I was autistic until after I made the lemmy switch, so I don't know what the reddit asd communities are like.
