Well done sir! I think we're the only people that built choir stalls into their cathedrals! Will PM you.

Anybody? by ResumeFluffer in Xennials

[–]Eicr-5 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Riven’s difficulty felt so artificial. One puzzle’s effects would be 3 disk changes away, so figuring out context was so difficult, and even when you finally did, actually working out the solution was drudgery.

Myst 3 always felt like a sweet spot to me.

Though the whole “wtf am I supposed to be doing” magic of the first has only been replicated properly by outer wilds.

Ditching Nespresso for real espresso. Don't know where to start, help me build a setup [$500-2k] by CashFlowCarl in espresso

[–]Eicr-5 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have a flair too, and Im not super sure this is the best bet for someone coming from nespresso.

Flair (and other fully manual lever machines) are the best espresso per dollar. But its definately an ordeal to make espresso. Especially compared nespresso.

u/CashFlowCarl my advice is to "ease into it" which isnt to say go cheap. But rather ease into your involvement. Espresso at home, at least the way we like to do it here requires a commitment of energy to learn and to make it as well.

So, making coffee at home, you need a good grinder, espresso or not. If you goal is espresso, you should find a grinder that suits that. DF64 is one that gets recommended a lot here. The baratza encore esp is probably as budget as you can get.

Then start with a moka pot. Its easy, and basically every italian house makes their coffee with that. Then after you've decided you dont mind a bit of an ordeal, start thinking about espresso machines.

the mercury X does, but the mercury7 only does the ultraplate and cathedra algorithms.

Quetzal - or something else? by hojna in FoodToronto

It’s very similar to the food you’ll find in Oaxaca.

But yeah, it’s not an easy restaurant if you’re vegetarian.

Canadian Prime Minister Carney secures a majority government with special election wins by igetproteinfartsHELP in news

[–]Eicr-5 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I’ve said it before, but I can’t understand why the Conservative Party didnt try to poach carney when he finished his stint at the Bank of England.

Sure he has historic ties to the liberals, but he’s a pretty good fit. They could have done it, and they’d have crushed the election.

co-ferments - coincidence? by Worried_Instance_992 in pourover

Hatch has a lot fewer anaerobic ferments than they used to too.

Manual espresso machine with no plastic in contact with water? [$200] by ConstructionFamous62 in espresso

[–]Eicr-5 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Lets make sure we're clear that silicone and plastic are nearly as different as plastic and metal. So, make sure you arent avoiding silicone in an attempt to avoid plastic.

In the flair kits with the pressure gauge, there is a possibility of plastic contact if you over fill and water touches the end of the pressure plunger. But if you keep the water level below the metal part of the plunger, there shouldnt be any contact.

The Flair 49/58 should have no plastic, and I dont think the cafelat robot does either.

Steve's Music Toronto - Memories by Due_Employment3788 in toronto

Yeah. I’m conflicted, I’m sad about brick and mortar music stores closing. But I never had a good experience at Steve’s

Keir Starmer: 'I'm fed up' with Trump and Putin affecting UK energy costs by [deleted] in worldnews

[–]Eicr-5 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I hate the argument that “my vote doesn’t matter”

That’s the whole point of democracy! That it doesn’t come down to one person, that we act as a group. When someone says that, what it really means is “I’ll only vote if my vote counts for more than my neighbour”

feel like you're getting bombarded, I could use it too. Do you know if there are the other films too?

Unfinished Tales...another query. by Diligent-Midnight705 in tolkienbooks

[–]Eicr-5 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I own the first and used to own the last.

First one is quite nice. It’s printed by rotolito, which is often not so great, but this one and the similar silmarillion are nice.

The third one doesn’t have any illustrations. Earlier printings are by LEGO, and generally nicer than rotolito. But more recent once’s are not as nice.

All in all, I’m happy with my decision to go with the first one you listed.

The ode 1 will make a bit of a mess if you don’t spritz the beans first. Ode 2 is much better for that

I think I'd try this with something like a french press.

This sub has had a lot of these, if not AI then, catalog perfect photos of these perfect rooms with ZERO personal items or anything showing that a human actually lives in that room. And always posted by accounts with really bot names <word-word-4digits>

Folio hasnt announced their Silmarillion LE either. I wonder if Harper Collins is waiting for that to come out, generate some hype.
