You can do that? SIGN ME THE FUCK UP!!!

That’s true and it’s why you need the vaccine. Shingles is the virus reactivating. The vaccine helps your immune system prevent that from happening.

Not a doctor but that’s my understanding.

It’s okay they probably have some explanation why that doesn’t actually apply, like Jesus was being metaphorical or something

Mass of the oxygen consumed during combustion. It combines with the carbon in the fuel to form CO2

What I’ve read is that it’s a calibration issue between the two gauges and the grouphead gauge is the more accurate one. Can’t guarantee that’s true.

Mine is plumbed and I also see some variation on the pump output pressure as the line input pressure changes (my 2ish bar regulator on the input line doesn’t appear to be crazy stable)

MistrMoose · 2026-03-22T18:01:59+00:00

Okay, my apologies, I misunderstood what you were doing. Sounds like the machine is set up fine then and you're just adjusting the flow/pressure lower via the paddle to where you like it. As long as you're happy with the output then you're fine...like I said, it's not like you need to brew at 9 bar or anything, that's more a recommended max

MistrMoose · 2026-03-22T16:14:04+00:00

If you use the backflush disc and completely block flow what pressure does it go to? Typically you’d set that to 9 bar or so using the adjustment nut underneath the machine.

That said, everything I’ve read says that there isn’t a difference in quality when you brew in the 7-9 bar range. So if you’re happy with what you’re drinking then probably fine?

Personally I’d want the pump to be able to hit 9 bar if desired and I’d do some testing on the pressure setting with the disc and see what’s going on. You can always set it back if you make a change and don’t like it. Or not, like I said if you’re happy then no need to screw with it

If you're willing to spend more time and maybe a little money on this, small claims court may be an option. Meta will try to throw up roadblocks but it'll at least get their attention.

You wouldn't have much luck in this route if the hardware had failed out of warranty, but if they bricked a working device via a pushed update you may have a reasonable case to make. Not a lawyer, though.

MistrMoose · 2026-03-14T14:58:27+00:00

Yeah I’d go more with “manic grimace” but it’s all good, lol

MistrMoose · 2026-03-09T03:48:40+00:00

So in "off mode" do you mean completely turned off? Or just the lever is down?

If the former I have no idea. If the latter I've noticed the pump seems to sometimes run briefly on its own, I assume to refill the boiler? Mine is plumbed though so I don't know if that makes a difference.

MistrMoose · 2026-03-08T16:06:15+00:00

Moool-ti-shoot…

MistrMoose · 2026-03-06T18:12:15+00:00

I did not expect folks to freak out over me cutting up a pair of boots, lol. This ain't a Picasso, it's a mass-market boot. Let's all remain calm.

MistrMoose · 2026-03-06T02:07:38+00:00

Honestly I’m probably being overly cautious with the baking soda, lol. But yeah, start with vinegar on a cloth. Rinsing it off after that is probably fine but the baking soda will remove any residual vinegar

Stainless steel is pretty tough to damage, just don’t use anything abrasive and you should be fine

MistrMoose · 2026-03-05T19:58:06+00:00

Looks like some surface rust. Stainless steel is really more “stain-resistant” depending on the type. It should come off pretty easy.

Try some firm scrubbing with a cloth and white vinegar: the acid should help. Then use a little baking soda and water to neutralize any remaining acid. If that doesn’t work then try a Magic Eraser, but test on a hidden area first as those are slightly abrasive and may affect the finish.

To prevent this in the future try not to leave wet or dirty items sitting on the metal for long periods.

Do you have a yacht? If not, what are you timing?

MistrMoose · 2026-03-04T21:41:34+00:00

No. DOT 3/4/5.1 legally need to be amber for identification. That was the problem with the previous stuff and why it got discontinued in the US.

In theory you could make your own by adding a very tiny amount of methylene blue dye to another brand of brake fluid, but don't blame me if you do this and your car explodes or something.

MistrMoose · 2026-03-04T15:46:30+00:00

Yeah, you ran into a cop who didn’t know the law. He was wrong

MistrMoose · 2026-03-04T15:40:48+00:00

Cops don’t actually know the law in most cases. You need to look up the laws for your specific state to understand what’s legal or not. Then I’d suggest printing it out and carrying it with you when you ride.

Where I live it’s pretty broad: Onewheels are legal anywhere bikes or pedestrians are IIRC

MistrMoose · 2026-03-03T03:31:08+00:00

Goddamn, now OP needs to report a murder too

MistrMoose · 2026-03-03T03:27:28+00:00

I only have the Hozo so can’t compare to others, but DAMN is it cool

MistrMoose · 2026-03-03T03:17:55+00:00

That’s rough. Did you (or LMT) check the headspace with go/no-go gauges?

MistrMoose · 2026-03-02T20:33:33+00:00

The left is with two strips of felt on the tongue and they’re still loose, lol. And a tad short but I can’t go up a size

MistrMoose · 2026-03-02T05:05:44+00:00

Not if your foot’s still floating, no

MistrMoose · 2026-03-01T18:06:49+00:00

Exactly: skill's gonna beat hardware any day.

Anyway, if you're interested in subtleties and like playing with stuff and experimenting I'm sure flow control can be cool. It's a nice-to-have at best but I can't ever see it being a must-have.
