I propose a mechanism that brings about the difference:

Higher speed cracks the brittle beans differently, smashing them into a higher proportion of fines.

Fine and coarse particles yield very different proportions of compounds into the water – the less soluble stuff kind of only washes off the surface of the ground particles. Finer particles, more surface, more of the hard-to-extract less soluble stuff.

The Topping Pro audio interfaces have ludicrously good inputs. The E8x8 has eight analog ins and eight outs plus more connectivity for $450. It is very cheap for what you get. The inputs are crazy good. $450 is also a good chunk of cash, so…

For the $450 you get a lot of stuff. Preamps for mic and guitar pickups. Powerful headphone amp. It's clearly worth it if you make use of some of it, and potentially even just for the inputs alone. $450/8 = $56 per ludicrously clean input is good.

I bought an E1x2 kind of as a joke. Just to see how bad it was. It's actually really, really good.

And also:

It's actually possible to gang together multiple disparate audio interfaces. Let the audio stack keep them in sync with ASRC. Aggregate Device on macOS can do this. People say you can't but you can. Linux is good for this too. If you find a cheaper per channel input, this can actually be done; Piecemeal it.

Thanks for the suggestion. I was hoping for something cheaper since I don't need really high quality. For now, I'm using a bunch of cheap USB soundcards that are good enough, but having multiple USB devices makes routing hell.

Thinking about it, it would be pretty magical. Neo with 10GbE to fast storage and CPU and GPU: Thin client that's pretty damn thick for how thin it is.

It is capable of particularly beautiful writing.

I've had a really nice user preference for writing style going. That user preference clicks better into place with 4.7; the underlying rhythm and cadence is also mich more refined. Rhythm and cadence both abstract and concrete – what is lead into view and how as well as the words and structures by which this is done. The combination is really quite something.

To examine why, a thought experiement:

Scenes: The doctor in his office, The consultation. The surgery.

We have a carousel of sound tracks. What kind of movie soundtrack fits best?

What's the difference between cutting out someone's liver in a garage or shed or car vs. doing it in an operating room?

In 2020, a mere 2 months before all the lockdowns, I was being wheeled in for an inguinal hernia repair. I was deeply engaged in chit-chat with the nurses and surgeon, and I had been listening to "Weird Al" Yankovic a lot, because he had released a song and video called "Living with a Hernia".

I asked them if they were familiar with "Weird Al" and they said no, so I began singing a few bars of "Like a Surgeon" and they were mildly amused. That continued right up until they put the anaesthesia mask on my face.

The surgery was a great success!

Depends what kind of expensive.

Bought an expensive jacket. It's indestructible and cool and has good pockets. It's a motorcycle jacket. I didn't know I was buying an indestructible normal jacket.

And: How do we treat them?

And commonly get judgy and weird if somone thinks and does.

As someone whose brain was addled by exposure to art history, I strongly support the suggested pelican on bicycle.
