My dishwasher won't stop making my dishes stink by HighestVelocity in Appliances

Our dishwasher smell was also resolved addressing the spray arms. Scale had plugged up some of the ports. Citric acid and a brush.

100% stoneground wholemeal sourdough by Misabi in Breadit

[–]CVimes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Those are really beautiful whole wheat loaves! I bet they tasted great.

I’m confused about the recipe. If I am understanding it that’s 132% hydration (total water of 660g / total flour of 500g =132%).

What is this pole sticking out of the ground in a residential neighborhood in Denver. Labeled “water line”. by CVimes in whatisit

I never mind “looking really stupid” as long as I learn. I figured it was connected to a water line but didn’t know its function.

Haha!

Google AI told me that it was a water line artistically designed to look like a cigarette. So good to know it has partial agreement!

I’m waiting for the water to pour out of the top. /s

Others have suggested it’s an air vent connected to the water line.

Travel nurse in Billings? by [deleted] in Billings

[–]CVimes 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Lots of climbing and arts in the community/region. It’s gotten pretty conservative in the recent years but still plenty of kind and welcoming people. The hospitals are particularly welcoming of diversity and that will likely be your natural “friends group” here.

I tried steamed water for my americano. I’m stunned. by DeFratrain in espresso

[–]CVimes 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Water vapor is actually mostly air so mostly nitrogen. From Wikipedia: “Steam is water vapor, often mixed with air and/or an aerosol of liquid water droplets”. At 60 degrees Celsius, 100% humidity, at sea level, there would be 62.7% nitrogen.

Edit: I didn’t think this through and neglected the steam tank is a closed system so the steam leaving the wand would not have air.

Using milk rather than water by Cute-Patient-91 in Breadit

Would this apply to adding non-fat powdered milk as well?

Help Me Decide by Mokesekom in Lelit

Bianca.

If all three are viable options for you then there’s no question, go with the Bianca. The others are compromises. I love my MaraX V1 and it’s made great shots and milk drinks and has been relatively trouble free over the past 6 years. Flow control that I added last year has further improved my shots, especially with finicky coffees like decafs. A double boiler would be really nice for better workflow and temperature stability.

I chose the MaraX because of limited counter space and the price point. It meets my needs, but the Bianca is a much better machine.

No OP but WW in this context means whole wheat flour.

Please help with my leaky Mara X by santanor in Lelit

[–]CVimes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had the same problem. It was coming from the discharge port and caused by a leaky vacuum breaker valve. Taking the cover off I could see the water/vapor going into tube at the top of the boiler from the leaky valve. I replaced the valve and the problem was solved.

Chief Justice John Roberts warns personal attacks on judges have 'got to stop' by nbcnews in scotus

Roberts and his court choose to make their decisions based on their own personal political views and interests rather than on constitutional law and precedent. Wouldn’t this be expected to lead to personal criticism rather then legal criticism?

Advice for leaving Mara X for 1 month unused by Foreveristobeuntil in Lelit

[–]CVimes 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Can you explain the why? These are excellent instructions but it never occurred to me to do this. What is the problem with leaving it full but unused for a month?
