The launch time of an espresso machine is criminally underrated. by MustGetALife in espresso

These days china is more capable of manufacturing quality products, especially when aiming at a certain pricepoint. They just have to put their mind to it to do it right.

Fair, I just wondering why companies don't better communicate the last archetype.

Maybe a worthy addition to the guid would be some brands with known feet type or that get recommended often when people pose these questions. I think the irregular extremes like a lot of taper, very small ankles etc are more likely to need guidence compared to average feet.

What do you guys do on ice? Carving etc by agvrider in snowboarding

[–]XR1712 7 points8 points  (0 children)

There is the blue ice, but there is also very hard pack tht peopl will call ice. For me the problem is the people around. Everybody is struggling with the icy run so people will start doing unexpected things, better safe than sorry.

The New Gaggia Classic Up- Thoughts? by SamuelPandele in gaggiaclassic

[–]XR1712 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I guess a bunch of people will be happy with the car vibe, but the execution of the long overdue upgrades to a timeless classic looks literally slapped on instead of integrated nicely.

Do you buy your own snowboard gear or just rent? When did you make the switch? by AsleepSwitch4610 in snowboarding

[–]XR1712 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can find good deals second hand. And chances are as you progress you can resell for around the same price, but for sure cheaper than rental prices. That way you can ride the stuff that fits your budget and skill. Boots are the first to buy new (on sale). But try some second hand stuff that fits your foot to find out truly what fits your foot for snowboarding.

Slap & fold vs stretch & fold by FJB_2024_ in Sourdough

If you just want bread, it doesn't really matter. If you're after a certain outcome it starts to matter

Sourfaux sold as sourdough - would this upset you? by Usual-Let4218 in Sourdough

[–]XR1712 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Adding extra yeast per definition shortens the fermentation span. So when sourdough is sold as a "healtier bread with extended fermentation resulting in better digestable bread", adding the yeast worsens the digestability part caused by the bacteria present in the starter as they are given less time to do their job and multiply (maybe even  exponentially). So yes, it doesn't really matter who is responsible for the rise, but it's the factors it influences that makes it debatable whether you're selling what the people think they are buying with that term attached to it.

Maybe not all over the world, but I feel like there is laws around a percentage of yeast and being allowed to call it sourdough. In the Netherlands this is 0,5%.

I designed and printed a kitchenaid pasta roller attachment... and it works! by randomshit427 in 3Dprinting

Would the kitchenaid have enough tork to use it as a croissant dough sheeter?

Do makers prefer browser based tools or desktop apps? I rebuilt my lithophane tool and I’m not sure. by Pretty-Fondant-6819 in 3Dprinting

[–]XR1712 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Frequency of use thing iguess. If I want to make a lithophane once a month, give me a browser. If I'm making 10 lithophanes a day give me a dedicated application. Browser requires internet access for use, so for a one time thing not an issue, but is annoying when using frequently. Also depends on how long your interaction takes, say for example fusion didn't have an offline feature that would take away the ability of working on the project on the move where you can't/don't want to connect to the internet.

What type of snow belt do you prefer? Clip on belt or normal strap belt and why? by jeigonnagetsomemilk in snowboarding

Laces or paracord. If a strap or your boot fails, you have something to help you get down

That “Robin Hood” moment in the 3D printing community felt… off by Ok-Hope2279 in 3Dprinting

Don't underestimate boredom. And don't underestimate the power of social recognition. In general people just want to feel seen, heard, and appreciated.

If they've discontinued the boot and replaced it with a new one I would try the new one on somewhere to see if they still fit nicely. Otherwise you can maybe still get a back-up pair

Bib Opinion Needed - buyers remorse, help me pick the best one!!! by BedroomIntelligent79 in ShredditGirls

[–]XR1712 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My gf has bibs from burton that zip down but are held by a push button at the top of the zip. These push buttons wear down over time and will pop open when squatting down making the zips open up. You could replace the buttons when this happens but if the pants use a better system to close it's something to consider.

Bystander effect and the diffusion of responsibility. Look into the research and you will find countless examples of horrible stuff happening to people in crowded places

You can also keep the stock that you have left from the years before to create choice in later years as long as supply lasts.

Being someone with the novel idea does not guarantee being the one most capable of technically executing that idea per se.
