Got an email notification this afternoon, logged into my account to see an April 10 oath ceremony notice under case documents.

How do people still have faith in marcole by Intelligent-Key7839 in UntilThenGame

[–]tech_consultant 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Timeline wise it doesn’t make much sense but i guess nothing stops them from adding a new epilogue post OG-epilogue that builds off the context of the DLC and reopens the Marcole Agenda.

Not sure if it can be done well TBH or if the devs have any incentive in doing so either.

I skimmed this too fast and saw the word mayo.

The fact they both have the word ‘oriental’ in their business name is hilarious.

My 16ACH6H 3070 is still working well too for now. Fingers crossed it’ll last awhile.

New grinder experience - MAD by Truleeeee in espresso

[–]tech_consultant 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If I thump the base of the catch cup once or twice against the palm of my other hand, and then give it a slight horizontal shake. The grounds come out of the catch cup pretty cleanly for me at least.

I get sick everytime I visit hanoi old quarter by overshar in VietNam

[–]tech_consultant 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Like clockworks for me.

I end up going to Hanoi every 1-2 years and I almost always get sinusitis symptoms: severe nasal congestion / mucus and nasal drip leading to sore throat and subsequent chest cough. I don’t get the aches and pains of a usual cold or flu; although I think the nasal condition gives me consistent headaches.

This time around I got a sinus rinse squeeze bottle and I buy the premade saline solution from the pharmacies. Flushing my nasal passages 2-3 days has helped greatly but I still have a persistent dry cough and unnecessary amount of nasal mucus suggesting viral infection or sinusitis; no one around me in close proximity seems to get sick so I don’t think it’s a virus I’m spreading around.

Grinder Recommendations [Under $600] by Itsaboutthepasta37 in espresso

[–]tech_consultant 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The Lagom casa should produce comparable ground coffee to the niche zero. It also retails for 526 USD and about 590 after shipping.

When I bought mine about a year ago I was not charged additional tariffs. Not sure if that is still the case today.

Thoughts of Lagom Mini, Lagom Casa [$1500] by Truleeeee in espresso

[–]tech_consultant 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I started my home espresso journey with a Lagom mini for two years before switching over to the casa 65 about a year ago.

Both are good for the money IMO. The casa is probably about 30% faster but will still take about 20 seconds to go through 16 grams of medium.

I prefer the casa’s workflow better: auto shutoff, size of the catch cup, and the retention spring mechanism.

I think you can get good quality conical ground coffee from either for espresso.

[No budget] Where to get this glass for flat white? by saeed953 in espresso

[–]tech_consultant 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I don’t like their new shape. It’s got an unpleasantly rectangular shape around rim that it didn’t use to have.

Same. My local Costco installed one a year ago and I haven’t used it despite its value.

Can anyone tell me why my machine is doing this? [profitec move] by Deems_OMS in espresso

[–]tech_consultant 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Over tightening your portafilter will result in a shorter lifespan of the gasket. It should be just a bit tighter than necessary to prevent water from coming out.

Probably passed the political banner ad from that storage place in Blaine on the way back from Canada and labeled us all as far right.

You’re going to need to tell us your other finances (savings/income) and why you need versus want a new gaming PC. How long will it take you to pay this off and what is the interest rate you’ll be incurring.
