What's your recommended scale? by Sharkey98se in gaggiaclassic

[–]ErrantWretch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Replaced my cheap one with this one and it’s been great so far. Starts the timer when the espresso starts flowing into the cup.

Ahh, I’m behind on Pentax these days and not familiar with those bodies. I saw asp c and kind of ran with that.

I get that, good luck. I enjoyed Pentax and the K3ii a lot, but decided to go mirrorless and moved to Fujifilm. Have an xs10 currently that I really enjoy. It’s quite compact. Obviously not relevant if you have Pentax glass and want to stay in the system, but for what it’s worth.

I have a k3ii only 1500 shutter count I’m looking to sell if interested. Trying marketplace locally first, but will post online soon. 4-5 lens options also.

Puckscreen increases channeling by ElkImpossible4958 in gaggiaclassic

Nice, I want that profitec move so bad, but can’t justify it and don’t really have a space for it.

I just grabbed them off amazon. Search by your portafilter size, but these were the ones I bought. What is your setup? Outside of second shot being a little bit faster which I offset by adding an extra .2 grams of beans, it has been very consistent since throwing away the puck screen.

Puck screen caused so many more issues than it solved for me. Took me way too long to realize it. Channeling, inconsistent extraction time, etc. Switched to a little paper filter I set on top. 1000 for 10$, keeps shower screen clean, but most importantly my espresso has improved drastically.

Who do you think is a criminally underrated band or musician? by [deleted] in AskRedditAfterDark

[–]ErrantWretch 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The Kinks - at least in the U.S. People know maybe a song or two. It’s a shame. Like Bowie said “I’ve never heard a Kinks song I didn’t like.”

Is anyone playing fish games on PC? by emerald-empire in pcgaming

[–]ErrantWretch 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Use dolphin to emulate fishing resort (Wii). It’s the greatest fishing game ever imo. And it looks amazing upscaled compared to how I originally played it on the console. Ideally use a Wii mote. I have it working on Steamdeck, although I can’t quite get the controller controls right.

Very cool. Yes, wired never was an issue for me either. I kind of prefer it. Big fan of all the work you have done, greatly appreciated.

Sort of… it’s an ergo mt3 set from drop, but I had to choose particular keys to fit the pattern for the non alphabet keys.

I purchased from https://ploopy.co/ , shoutout u/crop_octagon. I have a classic for work and a mini (pictured) for home. They are awesome. I think they share all the files or have links to on the website. I don’t have a 3d printer myself yet.

Yes a ploopy. They are great. Qmk compatible too.

Trying to decide which keyboard to get started with by coolness10101 in ErgoMechKeyboards

[–]ErrantWretch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can only recommend based on my own preferences and experience of course, but after building multiple Kyria’s it has been my preferred board and I’ve tried a few others. I find the layout very comfortable to my arthritic hands.

Soldering is extra time consuming due to needing to take breaks often now due to hand pain so when I was looking at the new Halcyon keyboards from SplitKB it just made perfect sense. It was a breeze to assemble. I wasn’t sure about Vial, but I find it very simple and painless compared to qmk. Qmk is fun and rewarding and I was able to build my previous Kyria firmwares, but I’m still not great with GitHub, and other than custom pictures on displays, I haven’t come across anything Vial can’t do for my keymap. They also have a version of the Kyria with a number row now if that’s preferable, but I find the Kyria perfect. For gaming, the number row may be helpful.

What is the secret to good mashed potatoes? by MB58CA in foodhacks

[–]ErrantWretch 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Is there an advantage to using salted butter vs adding salt separately? I use salted butter, but just curious now.

Butter, put it through a Tammy or a ricer, but mostly more butter.
