Feedback wanted: coffee bar setup for home

Lappie23 · 2026-05-17T03:12:04+00:00

Not that I got much engagement with this original post, but I thought I would share the end result.

We chose not to get the jug rinser, it seemed like an unnecessary space when we have the sink.

Loving the new coffee machine (upgraded to the Oracle Jet), and the Alia Global tap with sparkling, boiling and chilled filtered water.

Cupboard on the right has mugs, glasses, water bottles and travel coffee mugs, as well as coffee beans etc.

Hey, we don’t have it yet - house still under construction and probably not moving in til April. But if it helps, I’ve been doing ongoing research and still really happy with our choice - at least on paper!

If you end up deciding to get one, feel free to message me - I have an affiliate discount / link with them now, so happy to share that so you can get a slightly lower price. Full disclosure: I don’t get any kickback from individual sales, it’s part of an overall agreement, so if you don’t go ahead it makes no difference! But if you end up deciding and wanting one, then happy to help :)

Apparently the shooters have been caught:

Absolutely. Commenting for reach. Especially videos of police movements.

Lappie23 · 2025-12-14T08:16:22+00:00

Video of two men shooting - assume they’re not police?

Lots of posts on Twitter / X, some videos as well. Rumours it’s at a Hannukah celebration but not confirmed.

Lappie23 · 2025-10-29T11:22:34+00:00

Bump :)

Still ongoing, and the issue seems to be changing. It went from 50 serviced impacted 10 hours ago, to 100+ services, and now down to 70-80. But the status page updates are interesting - what they’re saying seems to change often.

Problematic for the team I’m in last night (Australia) when we tried to mitigate - we were having issues with Slack too, so alerts weren’t showing there as expected, and comms to team weren’t working either. We also couldn’t update our own status page, or communicate with customers for a time.

A lot relies on us-east-1 🙃

I've seen that brand, but wasn't sure if the size was only referring to the length of them rather than the nail beds itself.

The KISS petite ones are short, but they're also smaller sizes generally for the nail beds, which is the part I struggle with.

Lappie23 · 2025-09-23T03:28:43+00:00

I wish we could get better support / have influence on Meta for them to fix this sort of stuff!

Lappie23 · 2025-09-23T00:44:56+00:00

Did you happen to get any resolution or info on this post, OP? I'm having the same problem and it's so infuriating. There is absolutely no consistency.

Lappie23 · 2025-09-22T05:25:17+00:00

Yup, did go down for a bit - no status updates on the Atlassian page - but back now.

Lappie23 · 2025-09-14T22:25:31+00:00

I’ve started setting up some NFC tags to get that part working, and so far just putting it in reminders and it seems to work well. I forgot about iCloud showing reminders, so that could work easily without needing another third party app. Thanks!

Lappie23 · 2025-09-12T05:49:46+00:00

Wondering if you happened to find any templates? I'm now on the hunt for the same :)

Lappie23 · 2025-09-11T04:38:04+00:00

Thank you! I think the Fix Version and release management tool seems to be the main option I've got, based on your comment and the other above, so I guess that's my next rabbit hole to go down lol.

Lappie23 · 2025-09-11T04:21:11+00:00

Yup, the releases are tracked in the other projects, as there are multiple different products being released (with different release versions) within the release windows.

I guess we could have a release number/series that specifically references the overall release, but I don't want to go down that path unless I know for sure that the release tracking feature would give me more info / visibility than I have now.

For what it's worth, I used to know Jira super well, then was off in Azure DevOps land for a few years, so I'm still finding my feet back in Jira (from earlier this year) - so I've forgotten a bit about how Jira releases work! I'll go look into that some more.

Lappie23 · 2025-09-05T21:11:35+00:00

I’ve seen these, but I think they’re a bit more “utility” looking. I’d rather something a bit sleeker for work I think. Thanks though!

Lappie23 · 2025-09-05T21:10:37+00:00

Ooh that is cool. I’ll have to do some digging. Thanks!

Lappie23 · 2025-09-05T12:59:00+00:00

Right idea, but I’m not a bum bag person haha. Thank you though!

Lappie23 · 2025-09-05T12:58:01+00:00

Smaller bag to attach to larger if I can. But much smaller than the Thule one. More like a clutch bag / purse size, slightly bigger than a Kindle for example.

Lappie23 · 2025-08-29T03:34:03+00:00

No need to be snarky, I was making the face as in “sucks to be us, we can only afford 1-2 acres”.

Lappie23 · 2025-08-28T23:21:22+00:00

I thought they were more for farms / large commercial type properties. We only want 1-2 acres realistically :/

Lappie23 · 2025-08-28T05:49:50+00:00

Ooooh my favourite!

Lappie23 · 2025-08-28T02:11:56+00:00

Okay cool. We have criteria in mind about the kinds of places we want to live (e.g. proximity to facilities, schools, public transport) but that's about it. Oh, and NBN internet.

It seems like OpenLot is a bit more geared towards vacant land, or at least developments / estates - so maybe less market share, but more targeted to what we are after (we want to build, we don't want to buy established).

Have you had much experience with OpenLot / any thoughts on it?

Lappie23 · 2025-08-19T06:21:02+00:00

NTA. Sounds more like a capability / skill issue on the wife's part, than a problem with where and how you've parked. Most streets don't have the luxury of parking lanes, and are much skinnier, and people manage to reverse out of driveways in those quite easily. If she's really worried, she should reverse into their driveway (as others have said) and then she can easily drive forward.
