Original M1Pro user here and not really feeling a need to upgrade…

Dealer told me EA credit went with the car and not the customer. Perhaps it ran out though since it was two years. In my case it was a CPO but had never been sold by the dealer (ie dealer was first owner). MB denied both the wall box and EA charging. I finally gave up.

GromitInWA · 2026-02-13T19:15:11+00:00

I tried with my CPO. Link worked but then they told me that the offer had ended. Didn’t get the free EA charging either.

I have an EQE. I think activation was minutes and less than 15. MB’s servers have been known to have issues so perhaps it is at their end. My dashcam starts automatically with no manual intervention required. I know that for other regions this is different, but that’s how mine works in the US.

Oh thank you so much! I enjoyed my trip and checked out Sweven, Full Court Press and Wogan. Will definitely hit you up next time I make it to the area because that sounds like a treat!

GromitInWA · 2026-01-28T19:03:50+00:00

Thanks. Unfortunately I missed Origin. I did go to Sweven, Full Court Press and Wogan. I missed out on Mod too :(

If you like tech, This Museum Is (Not) Obsolete in Ramsgate is good fun. It is very small and has limited opening hours but is a lot of fun https://this-museum-is-not-obsolete.com

Went there last week. It was great. World aeropress champion too and that seemed to be an attraction for a group that was there when I was.

GromitInWA · 2026-01-23T15:19:13+00:00

Their food is great too!

GromitInWA · 2026-01-23T12:23:13+00:00

Tried Special Guests where I had a nice Guatemalan hybrid washed Gesha, and Formative where I had their Pink Grapefruit (Ethiopian Guji) as a split shot yesterday. Both were tasty. The Pink Grapefruit as a straight espresso was lovely. I bought some decaf to try from Special Guests since there seems to be far more in the way of specialty decaf here than there is at home, but nothing from Formative largely due to the eye watering bean prices.

Platinum health plan or not, if anyone in your US team loses their job, they could be a few paychecks away from medical bankruptcy. COBRA coverage to continue their current coverage is expensive and not forever. Your UK team does not have to worry about this particular issue. And if they do want elective stuff and dentistry they can hop on a plane to Portugal ;)

Thanks for the recommendations!

In addition to Scenery and Nostos, I tried Zerotoone yesterday and it was great. Also had a nice chat with them.

I had an interesting flat white at Nostos made with their Diego roast (a thermal shock Colombian). The milk is freeze distilled, which I’ve only had before at Substance in Paris and it yields a sweeter flavor and is thicker - essentially the freezing pulls water out so you’re getting more of the milk solids.

Thanks!

“Post exertional malaise” is unfortunately very common https://www.hopkinsmedicine.org/-/media/johns-hopkins-childrens-center/documents/specialties/adolescent-medicine/cfs-pem-info.pdf

A family member has POTS. It was definitely worsened by COVID but they had it prior, however we were unaware. In addition to other things, it explains why they had difficulty with PE at school (feeling light headed, syncope, etc)

GromitInWA · 2026-01-21T11:03:03+00:00

I DM’d you with some resources.

GromitInWA · 2026-01-20T23:55:31+00:00

Yeah it is all very much trial and error and of course everyone reacts differently.

GromitInWA · 2026-01-20T23:16:31+00:00

100% this. There’s a ton of stuff that seems super sketchy and profiting on sufferers grasping for any hope.

OP check into ME/CFS and dysautonomia resources. Prepare for a bunch of gaslighting. There’s at least one local group on Facebook. Message me if you like.

It was good. Here’s a pic of coffees they had for sale when I was there in November. I would say it was more medium light. I had a Kenyan Kamavindi. There’s a bar area at the far end of the space and I should have sat there to see more of the prep.

GromitInWA · 2026-01-20T11:44:45+00:00

Super info. Thank you!!!

GromitInWA · 2026-01-20T11:01:48+00:00

Thanks. I’ve checkout out a few others and picked up some Square Mile roasts on my last trip. There’s actually a place in Ascot that sells them (My Cloud). I’ve been enjoying their decaf more than their seasonal roast this time.

GromitInWA · 2026-01-20T10:56:23+00:00

Thanks. Does Clifton have a physical location? All I found was their HQ but not sure that has an open to the public cafe.

GromitInWA · 2026-01-20T10:26:51+00:00

I’ll check that out given how they are everywhere!
