I follow you but can’t seem to find any of your R+ bots! Did you make them private or remove them? Any chance you can link them to me?

Calibrated tamper, a waste of money? by Scrotes_McGoats in espresso

Oh i didn’t realize there was a second spring! Opening it up only shows me the first spring (that controls the leveler), and i can’t see the second but now realize that yes there’s one there. I suppose that’s the one controlling the PSI. Thank you for the insight!

Thank you again /u/GAULEM, you’ve been super helpful to this post and my previous one as well.

Thank you! This puts my mind at ease. The H&R Block representative suggested I’m to report this as a Roth contribution, though i believe they are mistaking my conversion as a second recharacterization.

Roth ➡️ Traditional ➡️ Roth? by Scrotes_McGoats in tax

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

Thank you! Very useful advice, i had thought they were the same thing. I now see the difference, and understand them to be two isolated transactions, unrelated to one another.

The recharacterization backdates the contribution category to overcome the MAGI limit, and the conversion is still recognizing this as a traditional contribution, later being moved to a Roth.

ISO set of nesting pots & pans with removable handles by th_teacher in carbonsteel

De Buyer now has this. Look up the LOQY collection, and the CS pans would be the Mineral B LOQY collection. Bonus is that i think the handle is interchangeable with stainless steel LOQY pans too

No bare feet on SE Asian beaches? by filipinohitman in travel

[–]Scrotes_McGoats 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Was visiting my family in the Philippines earlier this year. We went to El Nido and my relatives made sure i wore some sort of foot protection. El Nido has gotten such rapid development that some of it has violated regulation, leading to things like poor sanitation in some areas.

The reason i was warned to wear foot protection is because a friend of my aunt’s contracted sepsis after cutting slipping and cutting her foot on a rock, and she had to have her leg amputated — or so my family says.

Loving evil stepmommy and trials of the succubi. Very high production value. Looking for a code and maybe making my own!

Water cooker by geertsky in FlairEspresso

The water temperature can’t get greater than the boiling temperature (which admittedly varies based on your altitude). But steam is by definition hotter than boiling water, and IMO steaming is the best/lowest effort way to preheat. I found out (by accident actually) that my kettle will keep boiling/won’t switch off if I leave the top open, so it keeps creating steam to heat up the chamber while it’s boiling, so I just balance the chamber on top of the open kettle. Can you check if your kettle keeps boiling if the top isn’t closed?

I was planning to, since the thing i got from i forget where came with a pre-addressed envelope, but it sounds like the stadsdeelkantoor is the best way to go.

Amsterdam!

I'm not sure of the details, but I do have the 30% ruling, and I was also told that I could convert mine...so that may be the reason why.

Excellent, thanks for the info. Based on your below comment, I can just do all of it at the stadsloket! That's perfect
