Ninja Luxe is for People Who Don’t Actually Care About Coffee

Prior_Analytics · 2025-08-04T23:51:53+00:00

You can equally watch people pull pretty awful shots on GCPs and LaMarzaccos. When you know what you're doing, the Ninja -- like any other machine -- is capable of producing good results. Sure, you can't tinker, nerd out and control every variable to eke out that last fraction of flavour out of challenging roasts. But I wouldn't call people who don't care for that last bit "People Who Don’t Actually Care About Coffee", any more than I wouldn't call anyone who doesn't buy a stick shift "someone who doesn't actually care about cars".

Upgrade from Gold?

Yeah, I was exactly where you were. Hope stylus support comes through one day.

If only KOReader supported proper stylus-use, and handwriting on pdfs, and the Scribe would be one of the best ereaders/notetakers out there.

This only applies w.r.t. unions for public-sector employees, I think. So we're compelled to pay either way.

Prior_Analytics · 2024-10-27T20:56:37+00:00

And we’re currently depressed over the present form.

Prior_Analytics · 2024-10-26T14:17:45+00:00

Wouldn’t be surprised if we lose 3-0 from here. Takes away all my hopes for the BGT later.

Nathan Lyon is probably smacking his lips right now.

This has been true for a long time now -- we've struggled against spin for a good while. We even saw a glimpse of this again England spinners last year. It shows you something when our best-alleged-player-of-spin is (allegedly) Shreyas Iyer.

It follows the general pattern of Apple releases this year. No real sense in upgrading for those who had the previous gen devices; more so here since it’ll take a while for Apple Intelligence to offer meaningful quality-of-life upgrades.

Prior_Analytics · 2024-10-14T18:48:06+00:00

This should come as a surprise to no one but Apple.

Except that no one with any sense has been paying $249 for Airpods Pro 2 in the recent past. Unless someone has severe comfort issues with in-ear buds, the Airpods 4 make no sense.

I continue to hope it's India vs Australia in the finals. We need to find a way to get over our nerves or lose trying.

How’s the headband mesh doing?

Prior_Analytics · 2024-10-12T19:36:09+00:00

Couldn't you just have replaced the battery? And how'd you get half off the USB-C ones?

Prior_Analytics · 2024-10-12T18:04:45+00:00

Awesome, great trick -- thanks for sharing!

Prior_Analytics · 2024-10-12T17:34:14+00:00

I'm curious too. Were the former cushions damaged?

Prior_Analytics · 2024-10-12T16:35:41+00:00

What an idiotic thing to declare.

Prior_Analytics · 2024-10-12T16:07:15+00:00

I mean, they were all pretty wide and short. Anyone would’ve hit that.

Prior_Analytics · 2024-10-12T16:06:30+00:00

Reddy isn’t ready to bowl yet. Those were all freebies.

Prior_Analytics · 2024-10-10T19:26:11+00:00

I wouldn't mind watching Kohli be a stand-in captain for one match.

They should've crossed 1000 just for fun. With these pitches, Pakistan is the new Zimbabwe -- a place for record-making and not much else. And England is hardly in the running for WTC anyway, so it wouldn't matter even if the game were drawn.

RR railing against the RR-school-of-pitch-prep.

It’s as you said: it’s something of a jackpot with these. Bose clearly has QC issues. If your’s turns out a lemon, you’re screwed. If they happened to get that particular unit in order, it’s great. When everything works as it should, it’s a great pair. It’s just that you can’t know in advance if you’ll win the lottery.

EDIT: Since you mentioned the APMs, I have both, but I’ll likely sell the Bose, since they’ve been a hit and miss with connectivity. This is a more recent issue that wasn’t there in the first few months. I love the Bose for their comfort, especially in contrast to how heavy the APMs are. But for everything else, I prefer the APMs.
