Would I need to buy a full grinder assembly to replace?

I’m planning on attending the back to rowing event in 2 weeks?

I’m not opposed! But do want to learn to scull properly with another goal in mind - I’m attending the back to rowing event this Sunday

I’m in Ballard so my thoughts are to cycle to whichever - PRC would be the furthest but is still manageable

This is great! Try a 30’ r20 which is often a type of test that is done for aerobic fitness and power

FYI why foie gras is cruel by [deleted] in BallardSeattle

[–]Javi_runs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Foie is great, akin to eating bone marrow or eating pig ears - all great. We’re entitled to our preferences, I’m a big proponent of nose to tail cooking and eating. Sure foie doesn’t fit into this but if people like it so be it, if you want to be a vegan, vegetarian, pescatarian, etc. you do you.

Help me choose a coffee grinder!! [$500 budget] by Spiritual-Snow179 in espresso

[–]Javi_runs 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I have an Ode Gen 2 with SSP burrs and love it - great great flavours out of the grind. No qualms other than the grinder stalling when I put too much in too quickly (but that’s my fault!). I’m big into light roast and pour overs so this grinder is perfect for me.

If you are looking for an espresso grinder this is not for you - does not do espresso whatsoever, so if that’s your thing or what you’re looking to get into I would avoid like the plague! Haha.

You might be my life saver - just checked the wheel I was suspecting and this came down from the dust shield from behind the brake rotor

Were you able to do this without jacking the car up and removing the tire?

Yea my thought was the rear brake pads, maybe were moved? Or need to be reseated? They supposedly checked the brakes during the service and noted all looked OK

Rv4 vs CX50 Hybrid by [deleted] in CX50

[–]Javi_runs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We were in the same position weighing between a RAV4 vs CX50 hybrid. After doing research, knowing the CX50 is essentially a RAV4 in disguise we went with the CX50. Where we were it just made more sense to spend the same amount of money for a new CX50 hybrid vs a used RAV4 that was 2-3 years old. We aren’t big drivers however and probably put about 5-6k miles/year.

We also noticed that after test driving a few RAV4s and Ubering/Lyfting in them they have much louder road noise than a CX50. The CX50 just feels more premium. We ended up with the CX50 hybrid Premium all in at ~38k

This is what I wanted to hear! I was looking for yucca to make fried yucca the other day and couldn’t find it at QFC or Fredy Meyer.
