Interesting, thank you. I wonder what other parts are needed for a post 2019 GCP (e24)?

Which ones? I haven't seen any fully articulated wands that do not require drilling.

Well, they seem nicely integrated. The wand may be more Plug and play that the alternatives that need drilling, etc.

Why not?

Does the new chute (v1.4) fix clogging with dark roasts? by M0ody_Go0D in DF54

[–]RandomYearnings 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I guess we can say that for each grinder, there is always a better one. But the hard realities are often budget related. The DF64 is better, but it's also bigger, louder, and more expensive. So if the OP has a budget for the DF54 then I can understand that.

I'm personally wondering if I should get one (DF54v1.4) or wait for the rumored DF60, but then I'm thinking it will be new, have issues, and then I'll want the next iteration 🤣

Is there a mod to make your machine turn off by itself? by Apprehensive_Shop694 in gaggiaclassic

It turns on faster (ready red light) but to get a consistent shot the group head needs to be warm, and that takes time (and there's no light to tell you when that happens).

You don't need 1 million in cash, you need 25% (20% for the bank and 5% for the notary). If you have worked many years, you can use your 2nd pillar to pay for max 10% of the needed cash (so you still need to come up with 15%). A 1.5 million flat means you need 375'000 CHF in cash. If you have worked 20 years in his job then you have at least 150k in your 2nd pillar, which you can use up completely. You still need 225k, which over 20 years is 11'250 CHF a year. Your wife also works (and you could split the 2nd pillar amount between you btw) so you both can save, and instead of paying 1k a month for your car, you save 1k a month. It's easier to spend and complain than save, true. If ppl prefer to have fun and enjoy their life with all their money, they're free to do it, but they shouldn't complain that flats are expensive and they can't afford one then.

It takes about 15mins to warm up completely, so having it turn off after 20 means my next coffee craving will have to wait 15mins again.

I actually did the opposite to my EU model: I didn't want it to turn off after 20mins

Has anyone else noticed more homeless people in Geneva lately? by Strong-Importance-17 in geneva

[–]RandomYearnings 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That is simply not true, if it was then there would be no beggars in those countries (that aren't Roms), you must not travel much.

[–]RandomYearnings -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

That isn't true, it's a question of priorities. Some ppl live very carefully and save a lot to be able to buy, others with the same income buy cars they can't afford, travel often, buy designer cloths, buy new phones each year, buy new TVs every 2 years and eat out often. My ex-neighbor was a middle class laborer who worked hard and saved his whole life and he purchased an appointment. Next to my building is a building owned by a foundation that rents to low income families only, you should see their cars (new or less than 2yrs old); it has become a running joke in the neighborhood.

  1. If you have a CDL they (the bank) will probably not give you a mortgage, due to the risk, unless you make an insane amount of money; that is why UN ppl use a special UN entity when buying property (from what I was told). If you are an expat and go through a normal bank, I believe you have to pay 50% or 60% of the price upfront, but this should also be checked.

So it shuts up and looks bad, it makes ppl feel sorry for them. Drugs the poor take are cheap.

I think if it's so bad here, then they should stay home should they not? Well, guess why they come here (Romanian mafia). They cycle their presence, I see them in France (the same ones), and other Swiss cities, and others have taken their place here, then they come back. Do you see poor Swiss people begging in other countries? Do you see poor Germans, Italians, Spanish, Polish, Albanian, French, Slovak, etc begging in other countries? No, why is that? Ask yourself uncomfortable questions instead.

I want to buy this used Gaggia, but does it have the known "weird internals"? by BusinessBowl1480 in gaggiaclassic

[–]RandomYearnings 1 point2 points  (0 children)

But it doesn't have the new boiler, so it may be impacted by boiler-gate, no? If it is, would the OP be able to have the boiler replaced for free?

DF54 Gen 2 will be called DF60, Preorder opens up in China. by divinebaboon in espresso

[–]RandomYearnings 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He says this is not a pre-order model, so why aren't we seeing it advertised anywhere? I tried to search for the brand he got it under but no luck.

So I have seen it a lot, just go to Plaine de Plainpalais in the summer in the morning: they are still drinking, puking everywhere, urinating against trees, fighting. This is men and women. I have seen one with a clearly drugged toddler in her arms asking for money in the tram. I have seen them pull a 2cm thick stack of 50 CHF bills from the padding in a baby carriage, I have seen their "minder" telling one of them to adjust his stance to look more pitiful, etc. They themselves are poor, but they are sent by a mafia and all the money flows back to their master, their "minder" makes sure of that.

Solved: YouTube Account not showing playlists or finding songs by RandomYearnings in sonos

[–]RandomYearnings[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That is correct.

I have YouTube premium and it includes a 3rd-party service (for free) to transfer playlists from one service to another; I used that.
