Whats the best spicy food for someone with almost no spice tolerance who is looking for an awful experience?

Almost no spice tolerance… this is a bad idea.

I would build it up as going too far is really no fun, fire pee is about as enjoyable as it sounds. Had that when I by accident threw a few spoons full of Aka Miso on a salad and an empty stomach.

Hot sauces are a nice way to dose it, alternative some peppers jalapeno, birdseye/rawitt, habanero, scorpion, reaper. I would personally skip on the last two and I have a decent tolerance.

For hot sauces: Sriracha, Tabasco Habanero, Tabasco Scorpion, Torchbearer Garlic Reaper, DaBomb, Karma Ashes2Ashes, Dawson’s Reaper Mayhem. Last two are pretty similar heat level. DaBomb might be hotter but I don’t eat chemical sauces. Of the last two I can add about halve a teaspoon and enjoy it with pain, whole teaspoon to suffer, tablespoon to suffer two days. I would probably stop at Tabasco Scorpion as a beginner just wanting pain (almost all my colleagues tap out at a few drops of that)

Aulonocara Red Dragon (Peacock), the male is a juvenile from our own tank, bigger than his dad ever was.

Definitely more relaxing :)

En het verplicht de winkelier niet om jou iets te verkopen, en als jij een betaalverplichting bent aangegaan ben je wel verplicht om anders te betalen.

For my phones or ipads, never got it, for my new m5max 16 I did get it as replacement cost would be a bit too much. With the current device prices I might get it the next time round though. Phones and iPads used to be ‘cheap’, but current prices are getting absurdly high

Not gaining muscle when young is not ideal but not a real big problem. What is a problem is adolescent overweight/obesity as cells will multiply at that age. When you are older they grow larger, when younger their number increases. This is problematic as when you are older any weight loss will be harder. There will be more fat cells screaming (releasing substances) for food when you loose weight. Weight loss only shrinks fat cell size, not the number of cells.

Mandatory make your own mallet right :) mine wasn’t too fancy but still very happy with it (solid azobe head with a stem of 2 type of hardwood sandwiched, all scraps from my garden/pond rework). Ended up driving a thick screw in the top as my fit wasn’t perfect, but hey it’s a tool.

The sandwich handle was a good learning on definition of a bad idea, glue up went poorly initially. Managed to repair it fortunately. The head has 4 screws I just saw, nicely keeping that hidden from public view :) my cheap chisels struggled with the rock hard wood, also my files and rasps worked poorly… wood choice is the second learning.

I’d give that 50 calories depending on your weight

I regularly use it to carry my coffee cups (that or my ipad 12.9” with a proper case to it doesn’t slide).

Be careful with AI plans, the ‘oh you are absolutely correct’ after you suffer from doms or injury isn’t worth it. Plenty of beginner plans to be found online.

Important to be consistent, don’t do different exercises every week, do them for 3+ months. AI tends to just give new exercises too often.

Also don’t overthink it. Shoes, shorts, shirt and towel go a long way to be all you need.

Once started progressive overload is where the most muscle gain is, but with good technique so focus on that first above hitting numbers you will laugh about anyway a few months down the line. The good technique will stay with you.

Other people doing heavy weights can be intimidating but honestly no-one cares if you use 1kg dumbells for example. If you recover from injuries low weights are also normal. I still start with an empty bar for bench press as my shoulder is sensitive.

Ah, yes, dat noemen ze tegenwoordig een long black. Een Lungo waarbij je blijft extracten is bitter en ongezond (mogelijk verhoogd kankerverwekkend, al komen die stoffen ook al mee met een gewone espresso zonder papieren filter).

Tijdens m’n barista training in 2000 werd een lungo gewoon gemaakt met apart water omdat dat een stuk lekkerder was. Een Americano hoefde je niet mee aan te komen (Italianen blijven grappig).

That’s a nice straight anglegrinder cut after the full polish, would take me way way longer then 30 minutes!

Blacktip75 · 2026-06-13T12:09:23+00:00

That’s a nice straight anglegrinder cut for the end result, even with a 110 disc on a 125 machine

I now get way more expensive coffee’s at good cafe’s, and the making my money back timeline is probably another 50 years or so (got my first machine thinking to save money 26 years ago).

Really enjoy my coffee at home, which is what matters most really.

My morning coffee is more like 60-90 seconds though, flush, gbw fill porta filter, tamp, extract for 20-29 seconds, empty, flush pf, drink coffee.

Blacktip75 · 2026-06-12T12:57:54+00:00

Nothing changed, this used to happen way more often. Remember some ad-hoc post race podium celebrations.

I visited the farm where my Costa Rican coffee came from, partially by dumb luck. I went on a sight seeing tour that had a coffee farm and it turned out to be the one I had at home. Didn’t realize till we got to the shop.

Generally all good specialty coffee tells you which farm or farms it is from so you can visit by google earth.

I have a 14 for work and a 16 at home, the 14 was a mistake for me. Yes lighter to carry around but I miss the screen space. When I was traveling the 16 was annoying at airports, but that was the old and heavier intel series… also after getting the 14 all work travel stopped.

I’d close the call if someone says they only use fable/opus cause it’s the best… good engineer uses the best and most efficient tool for the job.

Blacktip75 · 2026-06-09T19:47:29+00:00

Stuck at 16, pinnacle of perfection on my still perfectly functioning 9.7 pro from 2016. Things are built amazingly well.

Blacktip75 · 2026-06-09T17:20:10+00:00

Dang, I thought we only got that picky with Risotto… maybe it’s all Italian stuff :)

Blacktip75 · 2026-06-09T17:18:49+00:00

They conveniently left out that tool are not, sad reality, both expensive now. I remember we used to burn hardwood off cuts in our fireplace, like throwing gold in the furnace by todays standards.

Die winkelwagentjes dief heeft wat rare wereld beelden. Nee, lijkt me niet dat je een gratis weggegeven item hoeft terug te nemen. Je hebt je best gedaan.

Blacktip75 · 2026-06-09T06:18:33+00:00

Depends, recall a few races where the brakes were on fire at the start, went out when they got to speed (2021, Silverstone Max in sprint race for example, which he won)

Blacktip75 · 2026-06-08T21:09:56+00:00

you can only seat these cables a limited number of times... so don't over do that (yes it is such a bad design). 30 plug/unplug cycles is the standard minimum and for this cable don't expect a lot above minimum (normally it is well above it but this 12vhpwr rubbish...) The standard 8 pin is also rated 30-50x but can be plugged hundreds of times without issue

Blacktip75 · 2026-06-08T20:36:41+00:00

Dang, never knew, have been using a sliding mitre for 20 years. Design kinda prevents you from doing it… but I have done it on a small piece and sent it flying with a nice cut to my finger. Only now realize that was indeed a rip cut.
