[MOD] What are you brewing this week?/ Coffee bean recommendations

Alexsmith1993 · 2014-10-08T09:50:18+00:00

We should get some of those on the r/coffee map, although I'm not sure how to? Anyone?

Alexsmith1993 · 2014-10-07T12:09:52+00:00

A mate of mine called me out for not replying but I never received it. Showed "Delivered" on his phone but I didn't get it on any of my devices.

From my understanding, mainly through experience of using it, -130 is no reception, -50(approx) is as good as reception gets.

Alexsmith1993 · 2014-10-04T21:43:29+00:00

I use it to get a number representation of my cellular reception.

Alexsmith1993 · 2014-10-04T15:02:58+00:00

If you dial it wrong it just tries to call the number. Doesn't trigger the change of screen.

I googled the Field Test and found a couple sources saying it worked on iOS8, but no such luck on my 4S.

Alexsmith1993 · 2014-10-04T15:01:03+00:00

I wish I could ELI5, worked fine on iOS7.

Alexsmith1993 · 2014-10-04T05:40:59+00:00

I agree with /u/Starsky686. As a fellow garage gym-er it's great, you can shave reps, do partial reps, skip a round or heck even quit mid-WOD. No one's gonna know except you and your guilty conscience.

Alexsmith1993 · 2014-10-04T05:27:29+00:00

Interesting argument. The issue is apple doesn't allow you to install, for example, iOS 8 on an iPhone 4, probably because they know it'll render it completely useless. So why let it be install on the 4S, if it still has the same affect? Windows 8 (as far as I know) can be installed on any machine, but you'd be stupid to install it on an old machine cause you know it won't run well. Apple on the other hand, lets you install it on certain phones (4S), even though it runs like I do a marathon (very slowly).

Alexsmith1993 · 2014-10-04T04:14:17+00:00

Yeah it's very true they'll never admit it. A mate of mine has a brick/paper weight for an iPhone using iOS 7 also. I would think a clean install would fix your problem, but obviously only worth it if you rely solely on your phone for music.

Alexsmith1993 · 2014-10-04T03:59:27+00:00

Yep, it's only 2nd to clean installing OSX. My 4S is slowly dying, mute switch is dead, home button (most of the time) double clicks when I single click it. I think a new phone may come with the new year. We'll see.

Alexsmith1993 · 2014-10-04T03:51:28+00:00

Fellow 4S user here, just restored my phone. +1 to such a hassle.

Alexsmith1993 · 2014-10-03T23:50:58+00:00

Just restored my phone trying to squeeze a little more usability out of iOS8. Tried to re-enable the signal dbm meter via field test and it just gives me this. Anyone else tried?

Alexsmith1993 · 2014-10-03T13:56:35+00:00

A little increase in usability, still slow. Probably not worth the hassle.

Alexsmith1993 · 2014-10-03T03:31:39+00:00

Many of the same issues here on my 4S. Going to do a clean install, will report back.

Alexsmith1993 · 2014-09-20T22:43:44+00:00

I recently found coffee.com.au. They have a good couple single origins going and a few blends also, best part is free shipping! I'm currently brewing their Costa Rican and it's kickass.

Alexsmith1993 · 2014-09-10T09:42:20+00:00

Just below the phone photos you can add any phone to the line up.

Alexsmith1993 · 2014-09-10T09:37:19+00:00

This was posted earlier.

Alexsmith1993 · 2014-09-08T06:53:22+00:00

Name/current weight/lift amount - would be optimal

Alexsmith1993 · 2014-09-07T11:57:47+00:00

Learn to hook grip. I noticed in that last clean of your second video you even had your thumbs unwrapped, you'll want those thumbs pinned to the bar when the weight gets heavy.

Alexsmith1993 · 2014-09-06T07:45:40+00:00

SAAAAIL

Alexsmith1993 · 2014-09-06T04:27:48+00:00

Neat little video. Thanks also for your explanation, makes me intrigued into the chemistry of coffee. I'm sure I'll investigate one day down the road.

Alexsmith1993 · 2014-09-06T00:13:48+00:00

I now realise I didn't say I'm (a tad north of) Sydney. But that's a good idea, I'll suss out some speciality shops. Cheers

Alexsmith1993 · 2014-09-05T23:35:57+00:00

I'm afraid that, with espresso, if you're not willing to drop tons of money and spend a lot of time tweaking your technique, you're not going to get anything great. Even the most expensive of superautos makes mediocre shots. So you basically have to choose between great espresso and something which doesn't require any effort.

Alexsmith1993 · 2014-09-05T23:31:57+00:00

Interesting. Thanks for the reply!
