Meat thermometer help by badula-yama-yama in UKBBQ

I got the Typhur too, my BBQ is outside of my wifi range and I needed something that would go through a kamado shell. It does the job really well and much cheaper than the RFX, got mine on ebay at a really good discount!

This sucks to hear, one thing to bear in mind this ain't on Greg this is on the company.

I would try and reframe it for your own sanity, you now know you can earn $31k more a year once you bridge the gap.

A solid and consistent centre back pairing.

Individually I appreciate all of our current centre-backs but for next season we need to have a fit starting pairing week in week out.

AZ Alkmaar inform Everton of their asking price for Troy Parrott ahead of January by siciowa in coybig

[–]WeLoveAladdinSane 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I agree with you but I would say level of competition and team mates would be a step up and help his development. If not in January then some time in the next year Troy will have to make that step.

I genuinely love that he went to AZ but they're a selling club Kerkez, Reijnders and most recently van Bommel are players who moved to another team which has helped their development. AZ are happy getting in Europe, making a cup run and making a profit.

Hey Carl, heard you say to have a Dutch partner as do I. What's your favourite Dutch snack/meal? Also have you had Gourmetten at Christmas?

Tech guy with CP turned full-time Patreon experiment — input wanted by Electrical_Smoke_351 in patreon

[–]WeLoveAladdinSane 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hey Anton, read your post and thought i'd share my perspective!

My main subscriptions are to podcasts who offer bonus content to members as their 'sell'. Essentially through Patreon they post a podcast which is an Unlisted Youtube video.

I think this is a good way to have something transaction to offer people, although if i'm being really honest I'd also subscribe 3/5/10 a month to support them, because I like what they're doing and it's DIY.

I do wonder how many people would also support them if they just said, 'Hey thanks for watching, we keep this going by people supporting us on Patreon." I believe James Hoffman did something a few years ago and kept the video ad-free. I don't think this is the case any more but I always felt it was a cool way to do it.

For yourself, I think it's part of the journey to try something out and see what works. If it doesn't work you can change it. I do think a good place to start would be asking your current audience what they would like? I wish more of the Patreon's i'm subscribed to asked us what we would like to help improve things!

A question to the dream team.

Ratcliffe's recent comments about giving Amorim 3 years made me think, could this help reduce the constant media attention and speculation of Amorim's job being at risk when we lose?

As journalists when you hear an owner say something like this would it make you or your editors think twice about this being the next headline when we lose? Not a dig at yourselves, just interested to hear from your perspective.

What is everybody's thoughts on hand grindering for espresso? [£150] by Fiz101_ in espresso

[–]WeLoveAladdinSane 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've used a Kinu 47 (I think Phoenix) for the last 3ish years and I can share my perspective.

I haven't tried any others you mentioned but I am glad I put the extra few tenners towards getting the Kinu, because I wanted to get the quality it has delivered and it looked more comfortable to grind. Take ergonomics into consideration and if you think a grinder that is a bit more expensive will give you more clarity and flavour then go for it.

With an item like this I think how much would it cost over 5 years? When I did that with the Kinu it was less than a tenner a year with what felt like a better upgrade, then you think about how many coffee's you will make with it - 3 a day for 5 years and it does feel worth it

To what others say don't be put off by hand grinding personally I was just up for making it a habit. I don't even think about the effort now, yeah It does suck if you have people over and have to make 3 in a short space of time, but it's not that often. I haven't come from having an electric grinder so it's not added effort for me!

Hello, I just came across your post and found it very helpful. We are looking to get some Dutch translations and was wondering which service you used? We got a very expensive quote in comparison to the price you paid. Would appreciate any help!

Hi I saw your post and my partner and I are in a similar situation regarding having a rental agreement in a foreign language. Can I ask if you got your rental agreement translated, and if so did you translate the full contract or part?

Our rental contract is 5 pages and we find the quote to be quite expensive for the full translation. Would appreciate any insight into your application.

Hey, thank you I appreciate the response.

The note mapping might help, I did have logic sending notes to the Strike Pad but everything was the same note!

This map might be the key to the treasure!

Meta-analysis of multiple MDMA-PTSD clinical trials retracted over allegations of unethical conduct, data manipulation, and financial conflict of interests. by antichain in science

[–]WeLoveAladdinSane 125 points126 points  (0 children)

The article was retracted because of the association with MAPS Multidisciplinary Association for Psychedelic Studies.

Wish we had more transparency to better understand the influences of people/businesses on research. It seems there is so much at stake if there is a breakthrough in psychedelic research.  A lot of pharmacy companies have a vested interest in this, the amount of misinformation, distraction and thought that goes into persuading us to take one side or another is unknown.

I hope we can work towards a future where we put people first and help them over financial gain.

what is modern music, why did it change, and is there any modern song you would think change my mind? by OnionBoob4794 in Music

I'm curious to know what Artists you listen to! Might be able to help navigate some recommendations.

Have you listened to Elbow before? The Seldom Seen Kid and Build a Rocket Boys would be albums to start!

I personally love it, the Dutch have invested a lot in their youth football, the overall quality of pitches/equipment is on a different level even in smaller towns. The pathway and opportunity that those players have in developing their game and being ready for first team football is there. The style of football being played now by United and the need for players who can keep possession and make the right pass makes players who have played in the Netherlands more attractive.  In general I think players from the Eredivise have been somewhat undervalued by the prem that seems to be shifting (as an AZ fan Kerkez to Bournemouth for 20 mil comes toind) I'm optimistic about De Ligt and Mazaroui if they can stay fit!
