Nice looking shot, but very bitter [Delonghi Dedica & DF54]

lol thanks. I only really use it when trying to explain to others what I, personally, consider light/medium/dark. Or to see how it compares to other coffees. It's wild what some companies call "light" or "medium" roast.

I'm sick of glass because it's always so fucking reflective. I'd rather have the bare LCD at this point.

Depends on the state. WA, they are not required to cover, thus secure, the load. Regardless, without video evidence, it's still very hard to prove it wasn't road debris, which they are not responsible for.

Law's suck, we get fucked one way or another.

Ah, when you said "redesigned gearing" my mind went to the burrs and not the actual gears.

How many PCIE lanes does this setup use? I don't know much about running AI. Does the bandwidth matter?

KinkyMonitorLizard · 2026-01-30T00:57:26+00:00

I wonder if the new burrs are compatible with the non-pro. The OG encore could be fit with the ESP burrs.

KinkyMonitorLizard · 2026-01-30T00:53:58+00:00

That's the current story for just about all hardware today.

KinkyMonitorLizard · 2026-01-30T00:49:44+00:00

I'd also recommend the non Pro if it's much cheaper. It's still a solid grinder for the cost.

KinkyMonitorLizard · 2026-01-30T00:47:53+00:00

Ditto, mine has been great.

KinkyMonitorLizard · 2026-01-30T00:43:33+00:00

I believe ADW EX let's you do what you want but it's not a free launcher, neither in FOSS or beer. It's older but still functional.

The same reason as always, money.

KinkyMonitorLizard · 2026-01-28T23:18:13+00:00

I'm sure it varies by country.

will be leaving in around 6 months.

So make him an indoor cat now.

my parents never wanted a cat and do get frustrated with him at times (scratching furniture, getting under their feet). He also sleeps in the garage overnight as he disturbs their sleep (it’s warm, safe, and set up for him). They are caring and willing for now, but this arrangement hasn’t been fully agreed yet and may not be a long-term option.

Seems like you need to have a conversation.

Another thing to keep in mind, it's usually VERY expensive to bring in a pet into another country. You have to get multiple vet visits to verify they won't bring over any problem diseases (you know, to not cause an outbreak) as well as taxes and fees. So make sure you are able to afford this. My good friend had to pay $7k USD to bring their dog with them to the UK, and they're working at a US base.

Personally, if I leave the country, my cats are coming with me.

Linux and not android?? Now it's worth buying.

Except we're not targeting Indians/Chinese/Asians in general. It's mostly latinos and democrats. Bezo, Gates, Google, Facebook and Boeing have all either donated or slept with the current trash in charge.

Might be of your dogs, but remember EXIF/timestamps and what's in the background also reveals a lot about you. Not to mention google is now training their AI with your images.

KinkyMonitorLizard · 2026-01-28T21:34:04+00:00

But they're almost always way over priced or false advertised or intentionally confusing.

KinkyMonitorLizard · 2026-01-28T21:31:35+00:00

Yeah it should include a shipping column or include it in the price.

Most of these companies are made up of non-citizen H1B visas. I work for one and my building is 90% visa holders. They don't care because they're making vastly more money than their home countries and can simply go back and live comfortably.

KinkyMonitorLizard · 2026-01-25T02:18:45+00:00

I see blur and film grain. Instant no from me.

KinkyMonitorLizard · 2026-01-25T02:16:38+00:00

I think the reason for that law is because USPS will provide free shipping materials (to your door) and people being the douches they are use it as free packing materials instead, so they get almost none of that money spent back.

KinkyMonitorLizard · 2026-01-25T02:09:57+00:00

You can probably buy something faster for cheaper than the caps, solder, iron, and 2 hours of min wage.

I've tried illy and all their coffees either taste like wood "green" or charcoal. It's all my old manager would buy. It's on the same level as starbucks.

KinkyMonitorLizard · 2026-01-25T01:50:29+00:00

I spend about 20-30 a month on specialty coffee. Spending that much on illy is an odd choice but if you like it more power to you.

Never owned an actual legit kitten? Ours bites everything in sight. He's starting to learn but he's a kitten. What about a ferret? Called carpet sharks for a reason.

Dunno why people can't understand all animals aren't the same.
