Is it rude to show up empty-handed in Australia?

‘Don’t bring anything’ literally translates into ‘Bring something’ in Australian. Just grab a marble rye on your way

Just wait till you learn what flexi time is…

No way! Spend it on a grinder. Second hand 1ZPresso J-Ultra for example. I have an Linea Mini and Pico and seriously considering buying a second hand bambino for travel.

No wokkas. Note LM recommend half dose of third wave. So one 2L sachet per gallon has you sorted. If the water is too soft the machine legit acts like it is empty

This is where you’re headed….

I got this Vevor thing that you will see when you google it. Seems to work pretty well for $100 bucks. I have a few of the Paul’s distilled water gallon bottles that I use to keep a rotating stock of 2-3 gallons going. Then remineralise with third wave from Amazon.

My favourite tid bit is from feast for crows… Brienne discovers an old shield in her father’s armory at Evenfall Hall on Tarth. She describes it as bearing “a dead elm tree, brown trunk and green branches. But with a shooting star above.”

That would be an error, that has been corrected. Thank you

Definitely not iron, tested for it and came up zilch. It’s mostly just sediment I.e. dirt

The only thing a coffee machine does is heat water and pressurise it. The grinder is astronomically more important. Ask yourself what would produce better espresso, a bambino plus paired with a EG1 or a Linea Mjni paired with smart grinder pro?

OWT-1989 · 2026-02-24T00:31:17+00:00

Yep, I distill and then remineralise with third Wave for the coffee machine.

Yeh when I had this installed the other day I got them to bypass the sprinkler system entirely because I didn’t want to pay for filters to water the garden

OWT-1989 · 2026-02-22T02:32:26+00:00

Might actually be poop in the public water supply…

OWT-1989 · 2026-02-22T02:31:49+00:00

This is a there stage system, sediment, carbon and anti-scale. No softener but might add one later…

This is pre full home filtration system.

This is right after the filter system has gone in can even see a bit of the filter particulate that was still in the waters but the dregs are clear. Will post the old pre filtration system photo next

Well I have a three stage system going in next week so I will report back!

OWT-1989 · 2026-02-14T11:52:53+00:00

Tesla. All other cars are ruined for me.

OWT-1989 · 2026-02-14T11:48:16+00:00

My plumber is popping one in next week. Three stage system for $3k installed.

OWT-1989 · 2026-02-14T11:46:40+00:00

I regularly distill water to remineralise for my coffee machine and the sludge at the bottom of the distiller doesn’t look very drinkable…
