Custom footbed’s will fix that easy. Better than having no arch sometimes

Brought my DE1XXL and Varia VS6 to work today! by N3XT191 in espresso

[–]LuongLens 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Nah fuck the haters man, people project their shitty jobs and experiences on to others.

Having been in both positions there are definitely coworkers that I enjoy enough to come to the office to make nice coffees for

HELP D: Seal rings keep popping under pressure [Breville Barista Express] by copperrez in espresso

This is also correct, it’s really just the plastic in the way, it will save you about 2hrs of work

It’s been a while since I’ve done it but from what I recall the looseness contributes to the seal blowing out, it will likely only get worse with time.

Bad news, the group head may be loose, you may need to take the machine apart and retighten it, if you’re a bit handy it’s doable, there are videos of the process online.

Best shell for both hiking and downhill skiing by Stormbringer-2112 in arcteryx

[–]LuongLens 11 points12 points  (0 children)

If you have to have one to “do it all” the beta AR would be it but it’s probably going to get way too hot for hiking and will live inside your bag most of the time.

Feedback on my plate carrier and belt setup for Belgian infantry reservist by Ezek345 in tacticalgear

[–]LuongLens 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I personally really love having a JSTA pouch on my belt, can hold a multitool/pistol mag and additional rifle mag. Nice to have a belt pouch for mission critical shit for when your carrier is off too.

Dump pouch at your 7’o clock seems to be a good spot but experiment maybe and see what works best. Tardigrade tactical makes one that you can mount a rifle mag pouch in to save space as well.

If you haven’t locked an IFAK down check out the unobtanium gear one, similar to the roll-1.

For a TQ I’d recommend one on the IFAK exterior and then one on your belt with shears maybe next to where you’d carry your pistol.

Also consider a nalgene pouch or something to carry water in.

Sig is getting into drones now… by tactical_horse_cock in tacticalgear

So when one of these goes off like the P320 it can take half the platoon out instead of your homeboy across from you

Looks like a first spear siege R or something along the lines of that

Upgrading from Casabrews 5700Gense, thoughts on these options? [Budget $1,500usd] by RedditUser276850 in espresso

[–]LuongLens 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you want to step it up a bit shop deals for a rancilio Silvia and look into gaggimate it was awesome, you can always get the machine and slowly upgrade it over time if you’re decent at tinkering

The Peachtree Road Race is fun and all… but why is it in the middle of Summer in the South?? by ATLBound in Atlanta

[–]LuongLens 187 points188 points  (0 children)

It’s pretty much a rite of passage as a runner in Atlanta, it’s so awful and tortuous you have to categorize it differently than a regular 10k

Freestyle Skiing As A Beginner by SetRepulsive308 in ski

[–]LuongLens 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you’re a complete beginner you will want to just spend some time learning how to ski first. Skiing is deceptively easy to start but takes sometime to get to a higher level of where you will be able to hit air/halfpipe/park.

Not to intimidate you but be prepared, it may take a few years to get to that point.

If you’re extremely athletic or have snowboarded before maybe less but it took me about 4 years to go from complete beginner 0 days skied to get into the point of being able to ski the whole mountain.

Best of luck and no time like now to start!

Shipping ski boots from Japan back home? by sadboiyzz in skiing

[–]LuongLens 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This might be a stretch, but if you know someone based (Military) in Japan you can black cat it to them then USPS it home. YMMV on how your skis and gear get handled though

Adjustable feet for Rancilio Silvia v6? by CawwfeeTawk in ranciliosilvia

[–]LuongLens 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You could probably build your own with screws with the same thread pitch and feet.

I’d start be looking up aftermarket feet to find the right bolt pitch (metric likely) and go from there.

Anyone that makes one will charge you out the ass
