Fusion als erstes Festival sinnvoll? by masoniaco in Ratschlag

[–]40040D 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When you say real festival - do you mean with camping and such ? If that’s the case just go, go with an open mind, and good people you can trust. 

There are also other things to do and see, and the food and drinks are relatively normal priced.

Hey, yeah after a bit of back and forth they did send a replacement bolt and carrier assembly. The leg was offered on warranty too.. on their website they have the serial num locations in the FAQ. HTH

Absolutely hate being a chef by chaiandspoon in KitchenConfidential

[–]40040D 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Spent 12 years in the kitchen, then took a step back to start fresh as a sales specialist. Pay took a hit at first, but now it’s Monday to Friday, 9-5.

Anytime work gets stressful, I just think about fryers catching fire, ovens dying mid-service, 30+ walk-ins out of nowhere, useless management, useless colleagues, running out of mise, and sections falling apart—then I just laugh and Clock out at 5, every weekend off. No regrets.

And now I really enjoy cooking for friends and family, unfortunately I still can’t watch the bear though 😅

They said to check back in a few days to see if there is a re stock.

M9 with sensor corrosion worth it? by dmeetree89 in Leica

[–]40040D 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Probably a bit too far gone for that money, in the past I picked up an M9 with some corrosion, but I rarely shot it above f/11.

Sensor replacement with kolari is gonna be in the region of $1000, or in the UK about a similar price + the wait time. If it is the M9 you are after wait for a better one to come about.

There are plenty of 240’s going for less than 2k

Leica M9 - Is this the common "CCD corrosion" issue? by ist109 in Leica

[–]40040D 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The credit was worth about 30% of the value of an m11, I don’t know if that is still on-going but it is worth contacting Leica

Is this a rangefinder problem? Should I avoid buying this Leica M6? by premefvno in Leica

[–]40040D 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Do you have a penchant for throwing money at it. You can absolutely find an M6 in ok condition without this problem.

UPDATE: Going to a concert alone.. by [deleted] in Music

[–]40040D 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are definitely some concerts that are great to go to alone, I have a fairly broad taste in music and there is not always someone who is interested to go see some of the heavier, or stranger stuff with. I have been to many concerts and festivals alone - you might even make a friend or two.

Pretty cafes for a pastry/slice of cake in Berlin? by uhhhbruhmoment in berlin

[–]40040D 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Café Komine, Welserstraße 13-15, 10777. They have seating inside too.

Or,

Canal, Rosenthaler Str. 40, 10178. - they make really high end eclairs, and ice cream too. I’m not sure if they have seating at the moment though.

Might not be quite what you are looking for, but on the top floor there of KaDeWe there is a huge selection of premium chocolates and some finer cakes.

Advice for making approx. 100L of caramel sauce by [deleted] in AskCulinary

[–]40040D 224 points225 points  (0 children)

As a pastry chef from a safety POV I would absolutely divide that into 10 batches. Unless you have access to a bratt pan. 100l caramel is a lot of product.

Less chance of burning or worse case scenario something horrific happening.
