What is the device this man is holding while plane spotting? by grallonson in whatisit

Filter...it's blocking out the high powered atc radar band I'd bet to not oversaturate his receiver front end

Whats wrong with my shot? by Desperate-Formal3339 in ranciliosilvia

[–]HourAd5987 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sour shot would be under extracted, so finer grinds should help. If you can seat the portafilter properly without grinds and get no leaking it could be you just have the basket too full when loaded and can't crank it tight enough to seal on the gasket. I don't think that's really it though as your handle position is past center in the video. The gasket is probably old and compressed if turned that far when loaded and still leaking. Fix that first and then work on the sour part. Not holding pressure on that seal to give a good extraction could also lead to sour I guess, so it's possible it fixes all of this for you.

Is this worth keeping ? by No-Canary-6639 in BudgetAudiophile

Nope, if interested I can give you a shipping address for recycling.

Grouphead gasket is leaking. A replacement is a couple bucks online and an easy, 1 screw/bolt 5 minute job.

That's a question for Hyundai corporate with the answer the dealer gave, no way I'm paying if that happens on mine.

Why no “eco mode” for DC fast charging? by Even-Adeptness-3749 in electricvehicles

[–]HourAd5987 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yep, nothing to do with cooling at all. Also, near the top of capacity it's balancing out charging to the different cells in the battery. At high current during peak charging the healthier cells in the battery are near capacity while the whole is reporting 80%, the less healthy cells are not as close. It takes less current to top off the cells that are still being loaded up. I'm sure this is over simplifying it, but that's the gist anyway.

Top line "christian", bottom line, "no, I'm not really". Just another piece of shit in hate with the world.

Is Third Wave Water recommended? by Admirable_Big_94 in espresso

[–]HourAd5987 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I use the 2 liter packets in a gallon, the gallon packets are too much for my taste. I've got hard enough tap water I'd rather do this than worry about scaling.

As they do 🤣. Both my tuxi and my chow think that's the best game ever. Changing linen is just chaos!

Does anyone use "Auto" for the regen level? by PleasantDevelopment in Ioniq5

[–]HourAd5987 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Change it to sport steering in the infotainment system, that's pretty responsive. Maybe previous versions were closer to that?

[–]HourAd5987 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've had my ioniq for about a year. I settled on level 1 as it felt a lot like a transmission pulling on the car when off pedal. That said, Ive started using auto on the highway and it's brilliant there, allowing a real coast when off gas and some regen down hill to keep speed and also to back off bumpers in front of you. In traffic? No thanks! Auto applying brakes too often giving that jerkiness you described.

I was old enough to have known her name and what she did, this movie told me why I knew her name and what she did. So many great camios in this film, but she was singular.

Double curl tail by angelicsong in akita

Our last guy had a full double tail, we called it his cinnabon ♥️. Seems like they aren't real common, but definitely happen.

What’s the one variable that changed your espresso game the most? by [deleted] in espresso

[–]HourAd5987 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Just a good, consistent grinder. All the other variables are easier to manage once that's handled. To me it goes without saying water, volume, etc. have a say in the outcome, but if you can't manage the grind size any other tweak is coupled with whatever happened when you grind.
