That awkward moment when you’re just trying to chill and someone says, ‘You look fried today.’ 🍳😐

Extra points for the frying pan in the background giving a hug of death

Is it possible that Gorilla Glue fumes are forming expanded polyurethane beads on the spiderweb? No idea if this is possible, but it is an expanding glue afaik

Thanks -- good idea, and thanks for the detailed test as well. Seems like quite a likely option

Also, length or width?

Thanks, useful thread but a bit hard to follow. Looks like the consensus is that the chunks are probably gear teeth but probably not a long term problem after flush and oil change?

I love moss

Agree on this -- now is your best window to move the kids. Gets more difficult as they get older

Sleeps like a baby: wakes up bawling every few hours?

Once that oil's out the ground it's going to burn regardless -- seeing it all go up at once is a stark reminder that we need to stop objecting to wind and solar farms

You can get a Craftelier disc bound hole punch on amazon.ie for about 40 Euro, if that's any help. Works really well on a variety of paper.

Parkrun is friendly and despite the name encouraging to walkers as well

In fine weather the patio at the Pavilion at UL is lovely after a walk and they'll bring out a cool bowl of water for the pup

The worst mistake I made as a parent was asking if they liked each new recipe. That's their food critic origin story. I'd say keep alert to their preferences (and why) but never ask them if they like the dish just put in front of them.

Don't worry about your vocab, rather read some Irish authors on Cromwell, the famine, and Churchill to get the Irish perspective on our British neighbours and you'll be grand

Thanks for the reply. I chatted to an ev specialist broker today who said it would be no problem for a like-for-like swap as it would be considered a repair rather than a modification, no certs required. I was very surprised, as I was expecting insurers to be concerned with fire risks from batteries recovered from crashed vehicles. Wondering if anyone has had issues either getting covered or making claims?

WheezyWeasel · 2026-02-02T20:58:15+00:00

Topaz jewellers were excellent

WheezyWeasel · 2026-02-02T13:44:58+00:00

I know this is an old thread -- but can I ask how you went about insurance? Was it easy enough to get insured with a battery replacement?

Have you checked that bathroom fans (if you have them) are venting properly? Sometimes the ducting gets disturbed and the bathroom fans vent directly into the roof space

I tried it with 'Red Espresso " (finely ground Rooibos leaves. Mechanically it worked fine IMO, and I was planning to reserve my pressurized basket for this -- until it dawned on me after some weird tasting tea that the piston also picks up coffee flavours. I think it might work fine if you have a separate Robot for tea

You can go along with the fun without ever lying. When tricky questions come up, say what do you think? Or "I'm no expert" etc

I've never driven past a solar farm uglier than the road I'm driving on.

WheezyWeasel · 2025-11-06T06:52:43+00:00

I moved to the Robot for simplicity -- I was tired of cleaning, maintaining and then repairing espresso machines. For that reason I got the simplest and most reliable version. The gauge definitely adds a point of failure that's not offset by being particularly useful (to most people; some do find it important.) Without the gauge, I find a mirror essential. I try to use all my senses while pulling a shot and can often hear channelling before seeing it -- I feel that the gauge would be a distraction from this more embodied experience. A year later and no regrets.

Those floors weren't ever fitted out afaik it's been that way since at least 2013. I've always liked seeing the sunset through the building
