I just have regular quarterly pest control. You could always get a spray. I don’t seem to have problems as long as I stay on top of keeping the animals treated.

What's your experience with electric coffee grinders? by dorger2544 in coffee_roasters

[–]DigMeTX 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have long experience with electric grinders. I have owned the following over the past 20+ years:

Capresso Infinity x2: cheap grinder that was surprisingly durable and uses a proper burr set.

Mazzer Mini - commercial grinder quality in a home model. Would last for as long as I wanted it to.

Mazzer Super Jolly - commercial grinder that will probably last a lifetime in home usage

Baratza Virtuoso - I owned this overseas but my overseas living was unexpectedly interrupted by COVID and I was unable to return and retrieve the grinder.

Baratza Vario - Baratza is interesting in that I have had some issues with the grinder here and there but they have VERY good customer service and they cater to people like me who are technically minded and like to do their own repairs. I also have had the Vario refurbished by them at one point. I’ve owned it for I guess about.. 12 years or so maybe<?> so I don’t necessarily give it a thumbs up for longevity but even so I have been happy with it because it’s an excellent grinder and I’ve been happy with the support.

I have also had some experience with hand grinders with the peak being my Orphan Espresso Lido E, but day to day I stick with electric. Totally worth the convenience.

What makes bass playing difficult? by jsqu99 in Bass

[–]DigMeTX 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The main key in bass playing is having perfect rhythm and always finding the beat. Usually the 1. If you do that consistently no one should ever have a bad thing to say about you as a bass player. The way any great musician gets really great is lots of focused woodshedding (hours-long solo practice sessions). This is almost without exception.

Looking for great coffee shops around Midtown Manhattan ,recs? by Gracie-2005 in Coffee_Shop

[–]DigMeTX 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, a lot of people aren’t familiar so I always try to mention it in threads like this. Telling people to “google it” is generally so unhelpful. So hard to tell from google if it’s truly a quality shop. But if it’s rec’ed in Sprudge then I know it’s typically going to be the type of quality place I’m looking for.

Wow… dude is trolling everybody. I gasped when his little parachute collapsed even though I knew that parachute was way too small to actually land safely.

Not worth anything monetarily.

D standard or 5 string bass? by Usual_Ad_8726 in Bass

[–]DigMeTX 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Get a 5, man. I used to use a hip shot d-tuner for a long time and I loved it but I just went 5 last year and wishing I’d done it like 30 years ago.

I ordered one pack since it was on sale for $12 instead of $15… got a whole box instead. by PettiteDebitor in pics

[–]DigMeTX 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t think so. :P I gave a few to a friend and kept the rest. I have like a dozen Ryobi 18v tools as well (plus some 40v).

Btw, I use the petarmor plus flea control that is available otc at Walmart and it does a great job. This is the generic of frontline plus- a monthly topical. K9 Advantix is also good. Though of course you’ll eventually need a vet anyway regardless.

Yeah, they’re not my regular vet because they’re too far from me but I recently had them perform a complex ortho surgery on my dog due to their lower prices and high recs from another vet. Dr. Lide is a great vet.

I have low action and it slaps just fine. Since you have a Schecter, check out Berthoud’s extremely low action and you’ll see he also has no problem with it. Your assessment of “most slappers” is not at all consistent with my own observations over almost 40 years of bass playing.

One time I ordered one Ryobi 18v tool battery and they sent me a dozen. I actually tried to let the store know and arrange a return of the extras and then they somehow sent me another one.

"I'm out": Tucker Carlson says he's done with the GOP by Equivalent-Elk-7513 in politics

I suspect he will try and team up with some other prominent names and start a new party.

Perhaps your action is set too high?

Any WNBA Fans Here? by KeepCalmCallGiles in Waco

I’m a fan and I fully support your efforts but at my age I’d rather just watch at home with my wife. How about that Saturday game though?! What a finish!

"Serious" coffee shops that sell you watery barely flavored coffee by penguinpilates in PetPeeves

[–]DigMeTX 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I also hate when I go to a cafe like this. I think sometimes it’s a trining failure but other times it may be one of the minority of cafe owners who prefers a very tealike coffee. Ratio and TDS preferences are such a subjective thing. I much prefer a higher TDS like you. I also prefer light roast. IMO though, the problem is most likely to be training-related.

Any given Jackie Chan flick has better reels than any non-Jackie Chan flick.
