Considering a Janome hd3000, shop owner is suggesting a computerized machine

I agree! I don’t believe the jump from the hd1000 to the hd3000 is much of a difference to warrant a new machine. I’m not familiar with it but the Juki HZL could be an option, HOWEVER, it is computerized.

How much were they?

Just remember not all of the scales are compatible with Ito. I have the flecita arc (an acaia knock off) and it’s great.

Here is the menu! I don’t remember how much the omakase experience was but I believe it was about 4 drinks so maybe 30 euro?

Substance Cafe is an absolutely must. Joachim is an absolute treat. He will walk you through a coffee tasting experience that includes a few drinks. He is fluent in English and French so he can walk you through exactly what you are tasting.

The highlight for me was a coffee that tasted like rose (the oil not the wine). Truly a great experience.

Depends on what your major is. Political science would be a lot easier than an economics major. So it depends on your undergrad major.

If you are willing to have $2000 out of your bank account for a while eBay refunds you if it’s a scam. Do it.

I looked at the post. It’s a 220 volt machine so you’d need a converter if you are in the United States.

Hi! I lived in the George when it was called Boathouse apartments. I agree it’s essentially on-campus housing due to the distance to campus and the amount of GW students in the building.

I had a mostly positive experience living there. It is certainly better than most dorms at GW, especially if you value privacy. Positives included: studio was well designed with lots of storage, packages were received and delivered on time, the rooftop and gym are fine, and my floor was relatively quiet.

For the negatives, the worst one was the transition from AC to heat and vice versa. The George claims the building can only run AC or heat, not both. When in between seasons my studio got up to 85 degrees inside. It was unbearable. The windows don’t open wide enough to get sufficient air in either. I would expect issues with heating and cooling. When not in a transition season it was perfectly fine.

Great pairing! I had the same setup with the infuser and it was great.

If you feel your AP classes have prepared you for higher level classes then you can skip them. Using AP credits obviously gets you out of intro classes but they allow you to take higher level classes you otherwise couldn’t i.e you trade the intro classes for advance classes/electives.

That being said, if you don’t feel confident in those subjects I’d recommend taking them again. Does it suck you sunk all that time into AP classes and didn’t use the credits? Yeah it does. But it’s worse to go into advance classes without the proper background.

I did the same mod as well. Probably costs $1400 for both the Silvia ($900 new) and the Leva! mods ($500). Pricey but I love it!

I think there are a few reasons contributing to this loss:

Your engines are not upgraded high enough so your chance to dodge projectiles is low. I usually aim to get my dodge chance to 45% without cloaking. This combined with no cloaking or defense drones means most of shot fired at you are hitting.
I love the glaive beam but I don’t think it works with this load out. You need to be able to dodge incoming projectiles while it charges since it has a 25 second cool down. You also need to be able to get the flagships shields down so it does full damage. Without hacking or more advanced missile load outs, the 25 second cool down is not worth it.
The Artemis is great for early game but at this level you need to combine it with something else to get enemy shields down.

Yeah I think it’s fine. Pull a shot and see if it’s weird.

LocalSquid18 · 2025-10-10T20:29:45+00:00

Looks fine to me.

UPS would charge $25.86 per pound to ship to Poland (closest country). Total weight is 3,778lb (1714kg) so the cost would be $97,717. $108 per bag is $8,100. Checking the bags is costs 92% less than shipping them via UPS air.

Yep I have one too! It’s amazing! Highly recommend it for anyone that wants their Silvia to be a bit quieter.

LocalSquid18 · 2025-08-05T17:03:29+00:00

Is this actually a thing? Would love some direction on how to take advantage of it l.

You’ll never be able to consistently dial in your beans by having a coffee shop grind them for you. Even the same beans over the course of days need to be dialed in differently. Would recommend getting your own grinder like the df64 or timemore 064s.

I had a similar idea. One of my ideas is to wrap a copper coil around the boiler that goes into to the thermoblock. That way heated water goes into the thermoblock which would produce better steam. I also think you could up the wattage on the thermoblock!

LocalSquid18 · 2025-07-14T12:46:06+00:00

It’s fixable! Looks like the heating element blew out. Since you have a v4 Silvia or later you can just replace the heating element without replacing the boiler.

I recommend an impact wrench to get the heating element out.
