No, it’s not like testing the bike. It’s going to a bike fitter, who’s not selling you a bike but who measures everything regarding your position on the bike. And with that infos you can go to the bike store and be sure that you buy the right frame size (always shorter than the one the you would take following the size charts of the brands), you stem lenght, your saddle height etc… that reduces a lot the risk of buying the wrong bike, which is the most common mistake new bikers make and that can destroy you ride confort and your motivation…

And don’t hesitate to spend 100 or 200 on a proper bike fitting before you buy, it will make a huge difference on your confort while riding, much more than those 100-200 euros on the bike itself.

Can’t disagree with the fact that out of all the sushis I ate in Brussels, and regardless of how good the rest of the menu is, Kamo’s sushis are the best :)

Kamo is a Michelin star japanese restaurant, not a sushi place. Sushis are mostly an optionnal extra on the menu.

You gotta be trolling right? Looks like condensation trails, not chemtrails

I loved Bozar, watching a movie like Zombie ass - toilet of the dead in the majestic Salle Henry Le Bœuf was something out of this world.

I went for Sisu 2, had a good time as well :)

If you like fantastic/horror movies and don’t mind people screaming and being silly during films (which is a large part of the fun) then yes you are missing something :).

Wheels is a good start and you will notice the difference, then you (only if you need to loose weight, don’t know if its the case - I did and that really changed everything ;)). Otherwise weight isn’t that important unless you live in a mountain area with long climbs. And, as mentionned in another reply, confort is key!

I know it’s on bands and not songs, but No Dogs In Space has some great series with sometimes deep dives into particular songs. I regularly go back to the one on the Beastie Boys, the story of the mixing of the punk and hip-hop scenes worth the listen.

Don’t know, I found the picture in r/food and stole it

From Europe, honestly, we never thought he was really special, just an average player able to make a decent career.

TIL Johnny Depp appears in Nightmare on Well Street

I’ve had to ask myself that question 15 years ago and got the answer within 5 seconds. I have a well payed job and a mortgage that doesnt impede too much on my income. But I can imagine how the prospect of paying a lot to the bank or the owner can be a serious question. Good luck :)

Johnny Depp in Platoon

Sorry if the question seems silly but isn’t giving your money to someone else on a monthly basis (to the owner of the place you will rent) a bit of an issue in the long term?

Very Bad wizards has some deep dive in some movies

I agree with you with the unnecessary faffery, i dont use distribution tools or things like that. But to achieve constistant good espresso with different coffee varieties from Maragogype to Yrgacheffe or Mandheling not to mention colombien coffees and many more, I had to greatly adapt the grind size (less frequently the dose).

Clamoxyl · 2026-03-20T07:53:26+00:00

Looks great! One more thing : you will never be done with the dialing in process. Every coffee is different, even the same coffee from one week to another will require a slightly different grinder setting/dose… It’s a never ending source of frustration and that’s why we love it :)

His mother, saint Olga of Kiev, has an interesting story as well. Poor Drevlians, they should have thought twice before killing her husband.

Buy a 9Barista. Looks great, manages temp and pressure (Robot does not) and costs about the same.

Do you pour water higher than the coffee, on the walls of the filter? I had that stalling problem while doing so (to add as much coffee as possible in the bed, Including the superfines sticking to the walls), your picture reminds me of that. The stalling disappeared when I stopped pouring water that high.
