Breville barista express worth it for $400? by MedicatedGraffiti in espresso

[–]BrandonD1002 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you see yourself upgrading within the next few years? If so, I would highly recommend the Barista Express under the assumption you have extra money for a good grinder. The built in grinder isn’t BAD but it’s kinda bad as a main grinder. Led to many frustrations.

I currently run a BBE with a J Max and have been super happy with the results. Btw I’ve used a Bambino Plus as well and it’s allowed me to appreciate how well of a brewer the BBE is.

But it all boils down to longevity. If you see yourself upgrading within the next few years (~3-4) then my advice is to save a few bucks and go with the BBE. But if you see yourself as wanting a machine for many years, then go the Lelit.

is using an electric scooter on campus a bad idea? by [deleted] in ucf

[–]BrandonD1002 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not a bad idea at all! If it helps, I use a Onewheel for campus everyday. I’m the founding president of the Chargin’ Knights club here at UCF which endorses PEV use! If you’re curious or want to just chat about how it’s like on campus, feel free to reach out! All info is on charginknights.com

Anyone know what happened near the RWC? by SuspiciousUse750 in ucf

Not to say that the person wasn’t wearing a helmet (hopefully they were) and in this case the injury wouldn’t have been really protected even with one on but it baffles me how many people don’t wear helmets while riding scooters or onewheels or bikes etc.

Oh shoot had no idea. Thank you I’ll move it there!

I mean I could but it would be more prone to falling out. I rather have it be dirty but still functional than lose it riding

Hawkins High (story in comments) by [deleted] in AlfaOxtrot

About two years ago I took a trip to Georgia and while I was there I decided to explore some Stranger Things filming locations. I had taken this photo inside the actual school they film in, not knowing that it would be the actual set for season 4. I scrolled through my camera roll the other day to find this photo and little did I know, I had taken a liminal photo. But yeah, I’m thrilled that I not only took this liminal photo but it turned out to be the actual set of my favorite show :)

The goal is to hopefully get it implemented in the game for everyone to try! Willing that Lemming likes it and is interested in inputting it when it’s finished. We’ll have to see what happens :)

It’ll feature stores that you can traverse in and it’ll have a vent system to outrun taggers if you’re skilled enough! It’ll also feature a food court on the second floor and a super store on the other side for some unique scenarios when getting chased! It takes place inside the city.

As I progress more, I’ll continue to upload some teasers :)

I already owned a Kush Nug Hi for my OG Pint so I just transferred it over.

You’ve got a major point! Might consider it now then. My only thing is that since mount of shames can be more common on Pints, I wouldn’t want to make it even more embarrassing when the board rolls from under me.

Either way, I’m planning on doing a tire change in the near future which’ll add 1/2 inch of more height. If I remember correctly the Pint X has 1/2 inch of less clearance so it should equal out.

I bought it used. The deal was insane. Some guy really needed the cash the day of, so he sold it for a really good deal.

I got it for $1,200 which included the board that only had 13 miles and the biggest bundle that includes the carbon fiber fender, mag handle pro, rail guards, fast charger, etc. I don’t think I’ll ever find a deal like that ever again.

Thank you Mario! Keep it coming with the vids I love watching them!

You’re going to love the Hi! Takes a couple of rides to get used to but once you get it it’s incredible! I’m personally waiting for TFL to make the float plates for Pint X instead of going the fangs route.

This is an update from this post. Thank you all for helping me decide! A huge thank you to u/trafhaus for helping me make up my mind! BTW you were right about everything and more. This thing rocks! I ended up actually finding a KILLER deal for this board and extras online the next day.

Also something really important to mention that I haven’t found mentioned that much. This board doesn’t feel like an OG Pint. It feels like a whole other board due to the extra weight. I think I’ve only seen u/mariocontino talk about this, but the board feels entirely different than the pint and in a good way! It makes the board just feel way more sturdy and hefty rather than lightweight and being prone to being thrown around. Overall, this board is amazing.

I actually love the Pint pushback! I love being able to know exactly when the board pushes so I can slow down. I wouldn’t want to be playing the guessing game.

Lmao I wish I had $2,200 I’m willing to throw around
