    1. The skerton was (is?) A good entry level grinder that will give you very decent results especially for immersion-type brews. It’s what I started on and what I still use for on the go use cases. I haven’t looked at entry level hand grinders in a while so I guess some developments have happened since I got mine. (Based on a comparison video from james hoffman at the time)

    2. God yes, I tried a friend’s 1zpresso and the difference in both grind speed and effort is noticable.










  • Depends on how deep down the rabbit hole you want to go :p

    • creating a new variable that contains the updated value
    • recursion (e.g. it’s not possible to make a loop that increments i by 1, but it is possible to turn that loop into a function which calls itself with i+1 as argument)
    • avoiding typical types of operations that would update variable values. For example instead of a for loop that updates every element of a list, a functional programmer will use the map function, which takes a list and a function to apply to each element of that list to create an updated list. There’s several more of these very typical functions that are very powerful once you get used to using them.
    • monads (I’m not even gonna try to explain them as I hardly grasp them myself)




  • If you get prep time you could set up some traps.

    Assuming both sides see it as a fight to the death, the horse will also engage so you could just run away into a bunch of traps. All you need is for the horse to injure a leg in one trap and it’s done for. I think even just some holes with a couple spikes would be enough to injure and maybe even sprain an ankle.

    Without prep time you’re pretty doomed, I think your best bet is either climbing up a tree to buy you some prep time to make a spear out of the branches or worst case diving in, aiming to do damage to its legs (unlikely) and hope you are able to get out without being trampled (unlikely)
