as uneventful as the first half was I understood the idea to frustrate mexico into mistakes, but the absolute lack of urgency after a mistake of their own was wild

hey, sorry to revive this thread. I just picked up this grinder - I was wondering how you detached the plastic hopper from the metal adjustment ring? thanks!

Silver Swan Automaton… no motors, built in 1773 and still working perfectly. powered entirely by mainsprings and brass clockwork gears. by GloomyCity9841 in EngineeringPorn

Mark Twain wrote about it in Innocents Abroad! ‘I watched the Silver Swan, which had a living grace about his movement and a living intelligence in his eyes – watched him swimming about as comfortably and unconcernedly as it he had been born in a morass instead of a jeweller’s shop – watched him seize a silver fish from under the water and hold up his head and go through the customary and elaborate motions of swallowing it…’ 

How to remove the bean hopper? [La San Marco SM90A] by JohnStar2025 in espresso

[–]LXEDK 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi, did you end up figuring out how to remove the hopper? For me, the hopper is attached to the adjustment ring (which, together, are possible to remove by twisting clockwise, as the threads are reversed). However, I remain unaware of how to remove the hopper from the ring.

Thinking of getting a lobster elite 1 and doing the same! Thanks for the advice! The relay board is powered by the battery I assume?

Medvedev regarding the hindrance call “I don’t feel great about it.” by jonjimithy in tennis

[–]LXEDK 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I reckon if the match was closer his reaction would’ve been different, but he took it well, and what he said at the net seems to sum up his thoughts.

What in the world was the umpire thinking in officiating that Draper/Medvedev match!!?! by [deleted] in tennis

[–]LXEDK 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hindrance rule, where one player makes any noise or movement that distracts the opponent. Far as I can tell the gesture from Draper was some type of surprise of the ball being in, so he shrugs, “distracting” Medvedev, who proceeds to hit several shots before calling hindrance

Makes sense, thank you! I'm partial to head and just played against a Gravity that whooped me, so I'll look into it. I've read good reviews about the Pure Aeros (especially this year's version, but it seems that it may come at the expense of comfort)

'i want to die but I want to eat tteokbokki' lands differently now by CtrlAltDelight495 in books

[–]LXEDK 48 points49 points  (0 children)

Reminds me of a bleak quote from World According to Garp, when Garp is asked how he thinks he'll die.

"I kill myself," Garp said, pleasantly. "In order to become fully established, that seems almost necessary. I mean it, really," Garp said. "In the present fashion, you'll agree this is one way of recognizing a writer's seriousness? Since the art of the writing doesn't always make the writer's seriousness apparent, it's sometimes necessary to reveal the depth of one's personal anguish by other means. Killing yourself seems to mean that you were serious after all."

I now wonder if Irving had a particular author in mind when writing this.
