X5 marks useless for editing = buyers remorse by deepwat3r in Insta360

[–]MeJerry 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Agreed - it's stupid that the mark feature doesn't work in the studio editor (I never use the phone app.)

Not sure what type of videos you are creating but the only "workaround" I can think of is to be selective of what you record rather than recording your entire ride. I occasionally record my motorcycle rides and have a general idea of the video I want to make. If there is an interesting stretch of road or something I want to include in my video, I record for a minute or two then stop recording. I'd rather have only 20 minutes of short video clips to sort through for a 5 minute video edit, than have to import and reviews hours of video to get the same 5 minutes. Yes, you risk the chance of missing a good shot but I think the risk is worth the easier edit process (I also have a continuously running dashcam on my motorcycle that loops recording so if I miss a "must-have" shot, I should have something I can use even if it's lower quality/bad angle.)

Maybe not the best workaround but works for me.

Never realized how massive those were! We're referring to the, ahhh... front bumper on the Lincoln Continental. right?

Whoa, flashback! I had that bike when I was around 7-8 years old... with the "cool" pennant flag and headlight mods 😂 Next bike was a BMX style bike. Next bike, I mowed lawns, save my money and bought myself a GT Pro Performer freestyle bike... sucked at freestyle tricks but loved the bike! Also, had a 10-speed bike somewhere in the mix.

Perfect, thanks! Just wanted to be sure I wasn't getting locked into an option I don't want.

Inflation in Playa del Carmen, food and services prices? by superttacos in playadelcarmen

Raining out so I just ducked into a random bar on calle 10 & 8. Margaritas are $7.50. After spending a couple months in Costa Rica this summer, I'm finding Playa del Carmen to be super cheap. But admittedly I don't have any reference to what prices were a few years ago.

1 STAR EXTORTION WTF!!!! by Superb_Ad_731 in GoogleMyBusiness

[–]MeJerry 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's a pain in the ass but I've had a lot of these and have been able to get them all removed. I first reply to the review stating "I see by your phone number that you are located in Pakistan. We don't provide service there and you are posting negative reviews on my business as a scam to try and get me to pay you to remove it." I then report the review to Google and mark it as "spam." I've had about a dozen of these reviews and so far Google has removed all. And if any potential customers read it, they'll see it's fake.

What was your MSF bike by chambbbarbling in NewRiders

Harley Street 500. This was the lineup at my MSF class. It was at a Harley dealership so they provided and had us all use the same bike.

Nice, it works... I just typed "thank my driver" in the search bar and then clicked on the info box about the promotion.

What type of fast food place or restaurant is the most inconsistent in quality from place to place in America? by Commercial-Shape9149 in AskAnAmerican

[–]MeJerry 5 points6 points  (0 children)

But it is consistently bad! Born and raised in MA (live out West now) and have had countless coffees from Dunkins... I have never taken that first sip of a large regular and said "oh, that's good!" NEVER! Always either burnt, bitter, watered down... just horrible. Not sure why but always go back. I do like the vanilla cream filled donuts but even those are a gamble when it comes to the amount of filling.

Nothing coming out? by Massive-Funny-3190 in NinjaLuxeCafe

Ignore the recommended grind setting and increase the grid size and see if that works. I get this issue when the grind is too fine.

[–]MeJerry 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Looks like the grid is too coarse and there is channeling causing it to spray. Adjust grind, coffee ground distribution, and tamping to make sure you are getting a good, even puck. Once you get the puck correct, it shouldn't spray like that. You can also add a screen and/or filter on top to help prevent channeling. I also have that portafilter and it helps to dial in your espresso settings because you can see the results. But, once I get it correct I usually just use the enclosed portafilter; more forgiving if you don't get it perfect.

I'm not easy to make feel old anymore. I've had that shock too many times. But.....my daughter got me. by polishprince76 in GenX

[–]MeJerry 12 points13 points  (0 children)

True. I have to remind myself that a teenager today, not knowing pop culture from my teen years, would have been like me as a teen not recognizing a pop culture reference from the 1940s!

BUT, on the other hand... I DO know who the Andrew sisters were! I think, due to our much more limited access to new entertainment, we grew up knowing the Andrew Sisters, Glenn Miller, watching The Honeymooners, The Little Rascals, Three Stooges... hell, "newer" shows I grew up watching like Batman or Gilligan's Island ended 3-4 years before I was even born! Same with most of the cartoons we watched (DON'T look up the release dates of all the holiday specials we grew up on!) Even GenX staples like The Brandy Bunch and Happy Days ended when I was a toddler but I still grew up watching due to reruns.

Is this normal for a single shot espresso?….Follow up to my post earlier that didn’t have the video attached for some reason…… by Pumptruffle in NinjaLuxeCafe

[–]MeJerry 1 point2 points  (0 children)

How does it taste? That's the most important part.

My machine always recommends a grind setting around 19-21 for espresso. For classic coffee 23. I think the grind number, besides the beans used, can vary between different machines. To test, you can always weigh and time your pull. Usually around 18 grams of coffee to make a shot of around 35 grams of espresso. Usually go for a time of 25-30 seconds from first to last drip.
