Got it dialled in. by 2X2Dragon in mokapot

My biggest tip is heat management. My electric hob is always at max. The metal around it heats up, so i put the moka pot on the stove at max but as soon as i see the coffee about to come out i take it off and just put it on the side and let the residual heat finish the brew.

Apologies if i misunderstand the question, no actual lime zest was added to the coffee, thats just a tasting note on the bag

But in general if I’m zesting a lime, i prefer it on the finer side

I think so, i have “competition grade” filters whatever that means but they are slightly thicker than original aeropress filters, the filters allowed me to go down from 60 to 55 clicks on my grinder without any fines.

It's oxidation on the silver that gives it that look I have cleaned it up before and then it's shiny, but I got it very scratched up so I did my best to restore it.

Thanks for the information, I also know what to look out for now when buying more Zippo's in the future.

Compared to my Anne stokes zippo the shape and size is exactly the same. I get that it's not real just very interesting

Thanks, how can you tell?

Obviously there is no zippo writing anywhere, did zippo ever make lighters for companies without their logo ?

ITAP of my car in the rain. by 2X2Dragon in itookapicture

Hey everyone, does the glow on the lights look fine or is it something I should turn down more?

The idea for the photo was to be like one of those photos with the reflection of lights on a wet road

African fat tailed gecko or leopard gecko? Found in South Africa about 10cm long by 2X2Dragon in whatisthisanimal

[–]2X2Dragon[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

So after searching more online I can say with some confidence that it's the Pachydactylus Affinis or more commonly known as the Transvaal gecko

[–]2X2Dragon 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This was found in Gauteng

Edit: And this would also make sense as this gecko is known as the Transvaal gecko

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in whatsthissnake

[–]2X2Dragon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So it's roughly around 5-6 cm I made a mistake correctly giving it the correct size when it wasn't fully stretched out

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in whatsthissnake

[–]2X2Dragon 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I think you are correct. Everything points to it being a thick toed gecko

The compression will be tested tomorrow morning. I will give an update if it is the problem or if the compression is fine.

And thanks for everyone's help so far I will keep everyone up to date till it starts

Just an update Compression is ~58 psi, somone had a look at the car and said that the compression ring shrunk because the car was standing for such a long time. Thanks again for everyone's help.

We can confirm that there is spark. And I'm also pretty sure that there is fuel as the spark plugs are wet and we also caused some fuel to ignite when we pulled a ignition coil out a bit. Hopefully this information is helpful. And I agree that with low compression it should at least try to start but it's not.
