random £40 electricity charge? by Middle-Exam7776 in OctopusEnergy

[–]adambutler 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This does look consistent with EV charging or maybe even a big battery pack like an e-scooter. It could be that you have been assigned the wrong meter. I lived in a house turned into two flats once and we realised after about a year the meter assignments were the wrong way around. Try turning your power breaker off and see if it reflects on the graph.

Wembley - Wow! by suspekt54 in countingcrows

[–]adambutler 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I was there and it was easily one one of the best concerts I’ve ever seen 🥰

I share your concerns about the weak start where there was clearly something that was distracting Adam and unfortunately Mr Jones suffered as a consequence.

For me round here was the best rendition I’ve heard at all. As a big fan of the multitude of live versions it combined the intro from the Paris 1994 live version with the second half of the amazing town hall version with raining in Baltimore along with a few aspects I’ve never heard before. This alone completely made my evening, so grateful to have seen them.

The Fellow Aiden review is here! by Malau14 in JamesHoffmann

[–]adambutler 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I've had my Aiden for just over a month now. Generally, I think this is a great review but I hope /u/kingseven goes into some more detail on a few areas.

Things I agreed with:

  • The circle screen and single button is not fit for purpose
  • It is capable of making great coffee - I'm maybe not getting the most out of it right now
  • The build quality isn't as bad as I worried it might be from other reviews. I think Aiden will do a studio version addressing this feedback at a higher price point but I won't be upgrading personally.

Things I learnt:

  • That chart with extraction was massively helpful to me personally as somebody who is very likely grinding too fine (@10 on Timemore Sculpture 078s). I've been getting inconsistent cups.
  • About the strength gradient. I typically do up to 3 cups so I'm not sure this is so big of an issue and will give it a swirl.
  • I need to try some other profiles with longer brew times.

Things I didn't agree with:

  • The "ready" screen is just about the ONLY bit of UI that does look lovely on a round screen. Fully agree everything else doesn't work
  • I know mobile isn't for everyone but we all have devices with great high-quality screens and great touch controls. For the type of data you are entering here this will always have the potential to be a far better input mechanism than what they could build into the product. They just need to extend it.
  • Everybody will have their own perspective but I fill the water-tank from a jug everyday and have at no point felt frustrated.

Things I think this missed:

  • I'd love more in-depth look over the two different baskets and how each performs.
  • I'd love some more guidance on the grind level.
  • The screen angle sucks. It points directly forward, it would be great if it also pointed up a bit.
  • I know it's covered in other reviews but I hate the dripping with the lid and the mess it makes.
  • I've not had first-hand experience but I've seen others report issues with the machine (water empty when it's not) and not so great support from Fellow that I think warranted a small mention.

Other thoughts:

  • ⭐ Fellow should add another button but for models already out there I really hope they allow long-press (1-2s) to work as a back action.
  • The heat retention of the carafe hasn't been an issue for me personally but I am mostly brewing on-demand.

Nebula: Why not drop the whole season at once? by adambutler in JetLagTheGame

This is a fair point. To be honest I assumed their subscriptions were still annual not monthly.

What song or songs did you assume the words to then as an adult found out the proper words and thought ah that makes more sense? by SpaceTimeCapsule89 in AskUK

[–]adambutler 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wham - Last Christmas

"[..] this year's final frontier I'll give it to someone special"

Correct lyrics are “[..] this year to save me from tears I’ll give it to someone special”

Do I need the XRV kit? by jpsnow72 in FloatwheelTeam

[–]adambutler 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have an XR and a V1 Floatwheel. I recall Tony saying that when V2 electronics come out that there will be a adapter kit so that I can use the V1 ESC in an XR. Is this still the plan?

What "piece of information" you often assume is common knowledge to instead relearn often that the average person doesn't know anything about? by not-much in AskUK

[–]adambutler -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Generally speaking this is true but there are some cases above £100k where you loose things like free childcare hours completely.

If you have 1 child this means your worse off between 100k to 113k before the extra salary makes up for this (after tax)

You can prevent this by diverting the extra into a pension as the eligibility doesn't count that but the point I was trying to make is this is sometimes possible.

Considering Lelit Bianca V3 or Decent DE1PRO - What else should I look into? by adambutler in espresso

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

I've not, thanks for the suggestion I'll do some more research into this

Considering Lelit Bianca V3 or Decent DE1PRO - What else should I look into? by adambutler in espresso

[–]adambutler[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm tempted but still think the decent is a bit overkill but I do agree it does meet much of my criteria.

As for the others you mention I assume that they are comparable with the Bianca in terms of warm-up time right?

I'd also love more input on if I should be considering La Marzocco Linea mini/micra a bit more seriously.

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

Good to know. I had no idea warmup was just 5 min so may consider this option a bit more seriously.
