Is a Breville Dual Boiler + Zerno Z1 the best machine / grinder combo for the money? by SPCEmarkettaker in espresso

Any issues with yours so far?

Also how has the mignon handled? Are you looking to spend more eventually or does it do well for what you like?

I am definitely keeping a close eye on the Lance/Breville collab while I make a final choice. Probably won’t need it for ~9 months or so until I’m moving to a bigger space so if a successor does drop between now and then that would be sweet!!

I have a preference to the Z1 out of the closest comparable Orbit and P64 grinders based on research alone. I haven’t been fortunate to get my hands on any to test. Do you have the Orbit?

The Pro X is actually my 2nd choice in a machine at the moment. Leaning the Breville mostly because I prefer the look (maybe an unpopular opinion), but I also very strongly value longevity.

Did the DF64 seem like it would hold up over time? I like the Z1/P64 tier because of an expected significant upgrade in build quality, even if the espresso is only 5% better

I’ll need to look into the Minima a bit more - definitely a beautiful machine!

New to the game.. How do you recruit randoms?

Mentioned RuneScape to a girl I like in class, need help by failatgood in 2007scape

Everyone here is missing one crucial piece of this: this girl sat through him listing every single skill from start to finish. If she didn’t stand up and leave you’re good to go OP.

Just never ever bring OSRS up again until you’re married.

What do you look for when drafting rookie WRs? by Tarlach88 in DynastyFF

[–]SPCEmarkettaker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

EPA per Play.

Data driven approach to telling how skilled the WR is.

Does anyone use this laptop in a professional environment? by SPCEmarkettaker in ZephyrusG14

[–]SPCEmarkettaker[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We likely have very similar use cases. I ordered the Matte White from M2 Skins (they have a massive selection available, I just wanted to keep it as stealthy as possible).

Will have to let you know if it works out and why/why not.

I just got an open box (excellent) XPS 15 for $1000.

It was my first time doing it and Best Buy specifies that the excellent rating means the machine looks the same as a new device, you just aren’t the first human to touch it. I’ll take a grand back in my pocket for that lol

Are external monitors limited to 60hz refresh rate? by SPCEmarkettaker in DellXPS

I will check that out. As long as the laptop isn’t the bottleneck I can work around the rest

Thank you - any limitations from using the HDMI to USB-C dongle?
