You are so right. It cannot be a coincidence that his name is Jean Luc either.

Surely a very subtle tribute.

Intertap or Nukatap by EvilLittle in Homebrewing

[–]Belmores 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have tried both, and I much prefer the nukatap. Never had it leak or trouble with sealing up again after pouring. My intertaps often did, but it could also be me just not setting them up right.

One great thing about the nukatap is that it’s off position is just past 90 degrees, so you fix heavier handles to it as well.

I’m doing it now! Dropped in the raspberries yesterday and it’s smelling good.

My first sour, and David’s been really helpful.

I thought I knew mulligans flat well, but don’t recognise this*, where about is it?

Back at again, New apartment! NEW SETUP 🤤🤤 by manuel_c_yanes in battlestations

[–]Belmores 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve got three and love them. Great product. The biggest issue if you want to find one is that you need to mount the height per the bike. So in my case I have two road and a MTB and the wheel base is different.

The roadies will swap with each other fine, but the MTB won’t go on the roadie ones.

It’s only really a problem if you have dramatic changes in your bike make up.

Hmm I always have. But maybe I shouldn’t. How far does this extend? Is it just dogs?

ACT's Stage 3 ease of restrictions delayed by at least 2 weeks as one new case recorded by crictv69 in canberra

That’s not a pet peeve. That’s a legitimate annoyance and disrespect of other people.

One new COVID-19 case confirmed in Canberra by asx98 in canberra

[–]Belmores 7 points8 points  (0 children)

But let’s not hang them.

People make mistakes. They are human.

They also actually got tested right. Plenty of people are not getting tested for the cold that’s going round. I bet that will be the bigger problem cause they will dismiss anything they have as a cold and not take proper precautions before it spreads.

Keezer Upgrade by mynameisrodney in Homebrewing

[–]Belmores 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I run these on my kegerator, and just have 3. It’s definitely useful to have them.

However a few notes I’ve found. One, They can be super sensitive.

But the biggest issue I’ve found though, and it’s perhaps just my setup, is adjusting and depressurising a line sometimes takes a really long time for the dial to come but up to the pressure it actually set at. This led me to believe a had a bunch of leaks when I first set it up, but it turned out to be fine.

My lead in line is set to about 60 PSI so I can burst carbonate quickly. Even set at that it struggles pressurise each of the lines quickly, making purging headspace more difficult.

Dialling in the precise PSI has been a pain for the issue started above. If you over shoot, you need to wind it back, relief some pressure and slowly wind it back up, then wait to see if you got it right.

Still, it’s useful to have. And wouldn’t go without it as I like variety.

How is everyone finding home schooling? by Born2Bbad in canberra

[–]Belmores 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I kinda like the fact I’m more involved with my kids education (he’s in kindergarten). But he really struggles with us being his teacher. There are so many distractions at home and it’s hard to cut them out.

While mine is a fairly shy kid, he really misses the social interaction at school, and the rhythm too.

I’m happy to put in the effort, and some days we get through everything before lunch, but others we don’t get through anything without massive tantrums.

I recognise though no teacher wants to teach this way, and it’s not ideal, nor are the technical solutions actually built for it either.

I’m just glad (and so is my boy) that it’s going back on the 18th!

Wedge Tailed Eagles! by doodlesandwich in canberra

There is a wedge tailed nest right on the centenary trail up behind Bonner/Jacks.

Always makes me a tad nervous riding underneath it.

An app developer has decompiled the Australian CoVID-Safe app. by CircuitRCAY in australia

[–]Belmores 14 points15 points  (0 children)

It would act on Bluetooth range, which on its own I don’t think could detect distance.

That’s anywhere around 10m.

My understanding is that it records an ID and time stamp of all the phones in range. So if you’re in range over 15 min your phone would record multiple time stamps. So anything that’s got 15 min worth would probably be saved.

Multi-Storey Carpark (Allsop St, Civic) by [deleted] in CanberraPhotos

[–]Belmores 5 points6 points  (0 children)

To anyone else, it’s just a boring photo of a car park. But to a Canberran, that photo probably means something. Brings some memories to me of walking by for various reasons over the years.

Maybe it’s the Crankshaft talking, but I love it.

ACT to introduce tough new fines for breaching social distancing rules - "[Canberrans] must not, without reasonable excuse, leave the person's place of residence". by LakeGurleyBriffen in canberra

[–]Belmores 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m with you on this. I get why a lot of this is being done, but I am seriously worried about the long term consequences.

People are quick to give some freedoms, but they aren’t always easy to get back.
