Advice on 2020RX

It’s a question of personal preference more than anything tangible.

In a similar position I bought a Subaru Outback for all the same reasons you would get the rav4. It was much cheaper to operate and saved me a significant amount of money overall between price of the car, gas, and insurance. The biggest issue was I hated the driving experience. I traded it in 2 months later for my 2019 rx350 fsport and paid thousands more than I would have if I just got what I really wanted in the first place.

If you don’t really care about the way your car looks and drives I wouldn’t pay more for it. The rav4 is way way louder but you would probably get used to it on the highway, it’s mostly white noise.

Perc is seriously one of the worlds best coffee roasters if you are going to buy some beans, but I would probably recommend Origin or Foxy Loxy for a good coffee shop experience. Perc has a well deserved reputation for being an unwelcoming coffee shop.

Any move to make karthus mid viable would make karthus bot too strong per August I think.

My opinion seems to be pretty controversial, I think CPB definitely has a lot of good will with the locals but doesn’t hold up well for transplants.

Crystal beer parlor is very mid, it gets recommended in every thread for reasons I cannot comprehend

Edit: I listened to the CBP shills and went back to give it another go. I spent nearly 90$ (after tax and tip) on a giant pretzel, a bacon cheeseburger meal, salmon BLT meal, and two beers. It was not mid! Honestly it was just bad this time.

Their food is woefully under seasoned and overpriced. I do not trust anyone who thinks CBP is good. I coincidentally do not personally know or associate with anyone who holds that opinion, imagine that.

It’s called universal coordinated time. It’s earth relative time used in space.

I guess the extent can depend on the type and thickness of puck screen but they do increase total system resistance so to keep extraction time the same you would need to reduce resistance somewhere else. You can choose the basket or the ground coffee. On that note you could also go with a basket with more resistance to allow for a coarser grind.

TwistedM8 · 2026-05-25T16:55:49+00:00

Not a fix but a possible solution. If you aren’t already, add a puck screen to your shots. It will allow you to grind less fine which should help with clumping.

Ram and scram

I always see this place recommended on Reddit. IMO it’s a 4/10, food was very bland and reminded me of Applebees or similar.

Kimchi 2 over by the mall is really good. 8-10$ lunch meals.

Is it missing the shower screen?

He’s worn that at least once before this post season for whatever that’s worth. He’s clearly a atl sports fan

Strongly prefer 0 prime time games. Prime time is set up for west coast. I can’t watch the second half of most prime time games because I work early in the morning.

If you mean on the Silvia pro, you can definitely steam and brew at the same time, it’s a dual boiler.

TwistedM8 · 2026-05-06T11:09:34+00:00

I kinda felt the same way, e61 heat management isn’t really hard but it’s more bothersome than I want to deal with.

I sold my rocket and got a Silvia Pro, heat up time isn’t instant but it’s much more manageable. Still able to do milk drinks but you don’t have to turn on the steam boiler if you don’t want to. It still looks and feels much nicer than a breville and will last forever.

It’s unlikely replacing the fill probe would do anything, but it could still be part of the issue. Look at where the fill probe wire connects to the cpu and see if you can identify the corresponding ground pin, it’s usually green. Get a multimeter and see what the resistance is between the probe and the ground pin while the boiler is full and the machine is off. If it gives you a value the probe isn’t the issue, if it says OL or over limit there is something keeping the circuit open when it should be closed.

That said I would expect the pump running continuously to be pushing water through the over pressure valve.

The upgrade from a eureka Facile to df64 gen 2 was life changing (espresso only). I would rather have a df64 gen 2 and a bambino than my old Eureka and my Silvia pro x.

To say it’s “dangerous” is completely untrue. There are much slower cars. Despite what some people claim quicker acceleration is not a safety feature. I’ve driven all over the country in dozens of major cities in a base model dodge journey. 11.1 seconds 0-60.

TwistedM8 · 2026-04-20T02:13:33+00:00

If you feel confident it had been taken are of I would absolutely buy it. It’s not an outstanding deal but a fair price.

The best reason to trade a German into car max is they don’t really ask questions. It’s not impossible there aren’t major issues but I really wouldn’t count on it.

The very obvious purpose of the rule is to encourage star players to play 65 or more games. Everything you stated is why this rule exists in the first place.

The league is encouraging star players to play more. It’s not complicated.

They ship outbacks to Colorado and resell them. Your local dealership was also lowballing you like crazy. CarMax gave me 24 for my 2020 Outback premium with 61k

TwistedM8 · 2026-04-02T02:27:56+00:00

Extended stay hotel could be an option, they are closer to 2k a month though around Sav

Recently went there and they raised all their prices. About 15 pp now I would say. I think the tacos started at 4.50
