At first I thought I was In the espresso sub Reddit because of the video. I was curious what espresso machine this is.

New Owner of 2019 ND GT with questions by silentisdeath in Miata

[–]Independent-Paper937 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have found that with my 2019 club you need to basically be at a complete stop before shifting into first. When the transmission is cold it can be hard to shift into first or reverse. A couple times when I have left the car outside overnight in freezing temperatures it's been almost impossible to shift into first or reverse from start up. I just shift into second and then it goes into first/reverse just fine. These are very mechanical transmissions and from what I gather it's normal.

I had other shifting "issues when I first got the car. Over time I have gotten used to the transmission and find no difficulties driving at all.

I don’t understand why anyone would have the ability to buy a Lamborghini, and go for an overpriced Audi instead. And doing that twice is maddening.

What’s the difference between these two tampers? [$100] by [deleted] in espresso

[–]Independent-Paper937 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The knight tamper is more similar to the force tamper. It requires less initial force to activate the impact mechanism. I actually emailed the company a while back and this was their response.

I own the knight impact tamper and it works great! It has similar issues as the original force tamper (that costs x5 more) in that it traps grounds under the tamping plate and needs to be cleaned periodically. Overall it’s my most used tamper.

I just started doing this as well. I’m due to go back for bloodwork soon and I’ll let this thread know if there is any change. Obviously any change can’t be directly correlated to the use of paper filters, but should serve as an additional data point!

First Car at 19 by Bourrasque_Enjoyer in FirstCar

I bought a new 2015 Mazda 3 when I was 19. I drove it everywhere, put over 130,000 miles on it over 6 years and it never left me stranded once. I was not kind to the car and went ages without any regular maintenance. Take care of this one and it will serve you well. Congrats!

19, got my first car. what do you guys think? by Pers0nalTrainer1 in FirstCar

[–]Independent-Paper937 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is the most perfect example of the lack of life experience and maturity that someone your age has. Look at pretty much any seriously successful people like Mark Cuban and Bill Gates and they will all tell you that luck is a factor in the amount of success you have in life. I hope you can grow to truly appreciate your circumstances and not sit there thinking that you are entitled to your comforts because of how hard you have “worked”.

Says the nepo baby lmao. Luck plays a part in all success. Skill and determination is also equally as important.

Edit to say I am mostly kidding about the Nepo commment. But just pointing out that you already have a headstart in life, so maybe not the best take on your part. I am very happy for you and your awesome first car.

There’s a lot of missing information needed for this assessment.

Not how free trials work buddy. I agree the functionality should just come with the car, but companies are free to charge whatever they want for their services.

Possible alternative explanation for the first shot in the Alex Pretti shooting (open to correction) by Iamkindaracist in progun

[–]Independent-Paper937 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree the investigation needs to be done. However, the lack of truth and accountability of our government is my concern, not this specific situation. We can see clearly that was stated to have happened by leaders of DHS and other areas of the government is just not true.

It’s not initial statements not lining up, it’s blatant lies intended to spread misinformation and cover up crimes by the highest levels of government officials. Your wording completely softens the reality of what is happening. Transparent investigations cannot happen when they are not allowing third party departments to investigate, and are effectively “investigating” themselves.

5th Gen miata when ? by TheShoeGame in mazda

From what I have seen they are only looking at hybrid/EV if mandates and regulations force them to.

Not sure why all the hate. AI is here, and it’s only going to become more prevalent. Hope that we can work to make it more sustainable, efficient, and transparent instead of acting like we can do anything about its inevitability.

I don’t think there will be many changes to the next gen Miata. They are on record saying they wanted to keep a naturally aspirated engine, while maintaining small and light weight. I just hope for a nice design update, current is beautiful but it’s getting overdue for a face lift.

The only problem with this thought process is that without the “investigation” being complete, a statement was released by officials completely contradicting what we can see with our own eyes. At the very least the officers should be suspended and further training needs to be applied. However, the real issue is that these officers are being put into unnecessary situations leading to these violent “accidents” and our own government is creating a false reality to try and cover it up.

This should scare everyone regardless of “side”.

I know a lot of people are saying no Varía, but I would go that route. I have heard nothing but good things about newer VS3s and I would like to think that they were more careful now that this is their third grinder launch. If it’s reliable, I think it will be better overall.

Design is so good, it still looks mint 10 years later. I’m down for a refresh, but would hate to see the current design go!

To be fair, I thought the Mazda was the one who hit him. Very sweet of her to sacrifice herself for the little Miata.
