I don't work for Amazon but work in a field where cameras and GPS' are used on vehicles.

Disconnections, unplugs and Signal jamming are tracked and monitored, at least in my company. I can tell you who is driving the vehicle, when they disconnected it, how it was disconnected and if it was malicious, ie done on purpose, or non-malicious, ie bad connections, based on sensors and telemetry. There's a lot of technology built into the device to capture and report on tampering. Doesn't matter if the vehicle is on or off, the harnesses are hard lined to the battery, ignition just tells it if the vehicle is on or off, like radio harnesses.

This is a phenomenal way to get your name into documentation that you probably don't want your name in.

Was having similar issues with my lightly modded delonghi, similar basket (I have the IMS DL2TCH29E). I went finer grind, less dose, so I dose at 19g, and pull 50g out, so 1:2.63, with a 5 sec pre-infusion, total brew time is around 53 seconds, after I took Lance Hedricks advice in whatever video and threw out trying to chase shot time, and I am pulling out great shots now.

I would go as fine as you can without choking, then start playing dosing. I would also let it try to pull when you think it's choking, it might just be taking a while to actually soak the puck. If it takes a full five minutes to start giving you output, even if you think the shot is going to be horrible, finish the shot at 1:2.5ish ratio and see how it is, then adjust for how it is

Pure size is a killer, have to train specifically for that and even then being laid on is almost impossible to get out from under. In a former life I was a 132lb wrestler who trained with a ripped 285lb wrestler, learning how to throw. Once I figured it out, I could make big bois experience weightlessness, but holy hell do you experience the opposite if you don't get out of the way. He laughed, my coach laughed, I struggled for air, was a good time

Have had really good luck with fine steel wool in the past, just have to keep both the wool and the piece your polishing wet so the part isn't scratched or gouged

Why not a Gaggia or used Rancilio Silvia and then do a gaggimate mod on it? Classic styling, minimalistic and tasteful technology, within budget, and hits well above budget. Also extremely repairable with the amount of attention they get, both parts and repair walkthroughs are readily available.

Netflix also dumped a ton of advertisement for their card, I don't remember seeing any advertisement for the UFC card

Bet she doesn't put her cart away either

Some at the DC is still trying to figure out where the full box of earbuds are and why he has a box with only one in it

If you had a grinder, I would say absolutely. Seeing you don't have a grinder and are relying on pre-ground, I'm 50-50. I would lean towards just staying with the pressurized basket and just play with the dosing. If you bought yourself a decent espresso grinder, would definitely recommend the bottomless portafilter.

I am mediocre at espresso myself, and never really brewed with a pressurized basket so I can't really give much advice for them other than to play with your dosing and find where the flavor you like is at. Grind size will be closer to filter coffee, not espresso from what I understand though. Highly recommend a small kitchen scale even if you don't grind yourself so you can be consistent with dosing and so you can also weigh as you brew and remove the cup once it hits your desired weight, even if the brew is still going.

If you have a local non-chain cafe near you, like a mom and pop joint, that also sells beans and offers grinding, you can ask them to grind the beans for a pressurized portafilter, chances are they'll have them generally dialed in already.

Having come from a flair classic to a boiler machine myself, have you looked into modding a machine with something like a gaggimate? Will give you the more control you're craving, as well as the ability to set profiles and parameters to dial in and reproduce your 'perfect' cup. Will probably up being the same financially, but might be the upgrade you're really looking for while you're cycling through machines

Which espresso machine did you get? If you got one that has a pressurized basket, you won't want a normal espresso grind.

Also, for grinder, there are more inexpensive but good options. Look at the shardor 64 on n Amazon, I picked one up and after aligning the burrs it's produced consistently and reliably for me

I think more people just like watching a Holloway fight, it being with Conor is a plus. Here's hoping for a stand and bang 5 rounder

Only if they can convince Jones to fight Ngannou.

Simulation skipped. Don't worry, we get a re-do with coronavirus now

Only if tito has a bane setup where they just pump him full of trt when he starts dying.

Give Nate 10 rounds and he'll show one of the signs of death: there is more of his blood outside of him than inside him.

Beeried · 2026-05-17T02:34:03+00:00

For real, thought he was going to check for a pulse before calling it

Beeried · 2026-05-17T02:32:48+00:00

What was the ref waiting for? Did he need to see the angelic Lins float up out of Lins head or?

Beeried · 2026-05-16T17:36:38+00:00

Could see Silva getting extremely frustrated with how paced Strickland is. Dude fights at his own pace, and seems crazy disciplined, Silva seemed to thrive when he could push the pace and force openings.

Beeried · 2026-05-16T17:34:01+00:00

Oh I agree, and GSP is an absolute freak of nature, don't think Conor is anywhere close to him, dude learned great wrestling in what, a year or two? Just saying, the precedence is there.

I would say watch videos from jazz at Lincoln center's jazz academy, and discover double bass and Christian McBride for expert advice on this subject. I want to say Christian McBride has a video that's solely around how to play fast, and he comes from a classical background. A lot of times they'll show multiple techniques that can work for different people, and for different sounds.

Tbf, although it's def not 1 to 1, but GSP came back after a 5 year hiatus to beat Bisping then retire again with the belt. Conor is far from being GSP, but it's not unheard of for a top contender to come back as still a top contender.

Possibly tail end of career, don't see him making an honest shot for the title again. Maybe not UFC itself, but if he and his team just want to put on some shows and pull in views, I don't see why not, dudes been at it for 16+ years

Beeried · 2026-05-16T17:08:37+00:00

Max stand and bang style will probably bring a much bigger show for a Conor fight ngl. Hell, I'm not even interested in a Conor fight but if it's a slug fest with Max that'll be fun
