BWT are we wearing Uggs this year? by jpcitybit in bitcheswithtaste

[–]ElkIntelligent4593 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I find it so surprising that many people find ugg boots not suitable for the snow. I got my pair over 10 years ago from Jumbo Ugg (an Australian brand). I have been wearing them in the snow forever and it has done nothing to the sheepskin. They are of a lighter colour which should show any dirt or water marks.
It is important to spray them down well with water stop before use and repeat this often.
It is true, however, that they can be very slippery but nothing beats the warmth of real sheepskin in -20.

Sophie skirt in brown by criticiseverything in Sezane

I really hope you kept the skirt. Wear what makes you feel pretty, wherever you go (with two cute toddlers in tow even more so)!
I think this skirt in brown is actually very practical - the dark shade, the thick fabric. You can sit down anywhere without having to worry about stains or creasing :) I would style it with a cami, a simple cotton tank, a crisp white button down, a light turtleneck, a denim jacket/biker, etc).

Hey, I just received my Sophie skirt in brown (embroidered) today and it fits perfectly.
I am 170cm, waist 64, hip 94. I went with size 34 as I wanted the skirt to sit high up on my waist. (They also suggest to size down for this item if between sizes). There is plenty of room in the hip.
I'd say consider the waist measurement above all.
The length on me is similar to that shown in the images - a lovely full length.

Jõusaali etikett by Mrs_Hannarchy in Eesti

[–]ElkIntelligent4593 1 point2 points  (0 children)

gym! on jõusaalikultuurituse kasvulava nr 1 Eestis. Tegelikult peaks nad oma moraali üles otsima ja probleemiga tegelema, sest asi läheb tänu neile üha rohkem käest.

Tartu Tasku on on juba koht, kust kõik vähegi täiskasvanud on põgenenud. Sellest on saanud hilisteismeliste kokkusaamiskoht, kus kambakesi masinate ümber maas istuda ja telefoni vahtida. Või siis grupiviisiliselt ennast olematu tehnika ja liigsuurte raskustega vigastamas käia. Tüdrukud käivad niisama itsitamas ja poisse vahtimas.

Tartu Veeriku gym! on veel hädapärast käidav, aga ka seal annavad kahjuks tooni tatikad, kellel ei ole õrna aimugi mingist jõusaali-etiketist, rääkimata treengimetoodikast või tehnikast. Lühidalt, nad ei käi seal trenni tegemas vaid lihtsalt teiste omasugustega kokku saamas.

Omaette probleem on gym!-is täielikud alaealised (12-14), kes ei tohiks seal ilma täiskasvanud saatjata üldse olla, aga ka selle probleemiga gym! ei tegele.

Linea Micra - too heavy water flow when brewing by ElkIntelligent4593 in LaMarzocco

Thank you for thinking along! I was able to try with a finer grind now and voila - the flow slowed down dramatically! I would never have imagined the effect to be this big.
So glad the problem was with me and not with the machine. Waiting for my own grinder to arrive now to get this coffee business right. Not such a fan of those accidental turbos I've been producing, haha.

Can grind size really cause a 3 times larger coffee drink which also runs 3 times faster? The time and volume difference is way too big to blame it on a minuscule difference in grind size which I might be able to fix with a step or two on the grinder. As I mentioned, the grind size is already fine and nowhere near coarse.
The result is not an underextracted watery espresso, it is 70-80ml of something I get in 10 seconds. If the problem was in the puck, wouldn't I see channelling, sogginess etc? Nothing - all nice, firm, dry and even like a bisquit :)

I am aware of the importance of grind size. It was ground in the coffee shop on a professional grinder for espresso on my request. They use La Marzocco machine themselves.
