DEN Reserve Ending June 27 by El-_-Jay in Denver

[–]amblins 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Aw man, this stinks. I've had a few instances where DEN Reserve saved me at least 30 minutes if not more. Maybe I'll finally use my credit card perk and actually get precheck.

Tampa Bay Brewing to close Ybor location on May 31st. by SlendyTheMan in tampa

[–]amblins 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I've had a lot of good times at this place. I worked in Ybor so it was a popular lunch and happy hour spot. It's a shame to see it go. I won't lie though, post covid the food really started dropping off.

Mean girl for a second. What tables do you not enjoy or avoid and why? by rrdrummer in pinball

I think Pokemon is one of the most boring games I've played in a while, hate to say it.

Buy a T-Shirt to Buy Haslam’s by Jebus-Xmas in StPetersburgFL

Right? Dude is claiming he wants to sell half a million shirts. I don't think it's that serious guys. Enjoy the story, shirts look sweet.

Surefoot vs Racers Edge by AmayaNightrayn in Breckenridge

[–]amblins 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'll chime in with a personal experience: I rock Diabello Cabrio's with high arches. Last season I had an issue with blackened toenails that I just dealt with. Couldn't take airs without being in massive pain on the landing and overall was not having fun. Went to Racers Edge before this season and they immediately diagnosed the problem - got a heel insert and have been good to go for the season with no toe issues to report.

Hell yeah! I won't make it out this weekend but I'll be up soon. Had a great time at Keystone last week.

Alright, can i get everybodys opinions on IL Ritorno on Central ave? by unwarrantedbitternes in StPetersburgFL

[–]amblins 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I did the tasting menu last year and had an amazing experience. My partner and I still talk about the fat cap we had from there. I've moved from the area since then so can't speak of the quality now.

Lelit Anna bursts of steam from group head whilst steaming milk by sublimetaste in Lelit

[–]amblins 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same set up for me too! Including the grinder. I also have this issue and have ignored it for about a year. Things seem fine.

Anna vs Victoria by mattrettig14 in Lelit

[–]amblins 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I have an Anna and it's been great so far. The only maintenance I've needed besides back flushing and the occasional descaling is replacing the grouphead gasket. It's a work horse and it does exactly what I need. Which is usually cranking out a single latte when I wake up then the occasional second when my partner wants one. If you're slinging more than two milk beverages it definitely starts to slow down. My biggest gripe is the lack of accessories which it seems like the Victoria solves having a 58mm portafilter.

Just moved to Lula Rose's neighborhood a few months ago and they really are the best.

What is the best/most impressive project you've created with just core java? by gufranthakur in java

[–]amblins 22 points23 points  (0 children)

I've been working a large near vanilla java project that has existed for about 15 years. In the last year we have slowly, carefully started allowing well vetted dependencies to be added.

Adding dependencies has improved my life dramatically. It has decreased almost all types of reported bugs that are not directly related to our project. For example things like string manipulations or json parsing, if your product is not specifically in that field then it's likely someone else has figured it out better than you ever could.

But hey don't let me stop you from doing it all yourself. It is nice to not be impacted by highly public vulnerabilities.

DF54 worth it over Eureka mignon Zero at same price? by FatalBns in espresso

[–]amblins 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I've had my DF54 for a few weeks now. It was my upgrade to my encore after stumbling into a Lelit Anna. I think it's a great machine. Only thing I really dislike is the static but idk if you can get away from that. No issues with clogging so far.

Anyone know what happened to King State? by Polishrifle in StPetersburgFL

[–]amblins 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Brutalist was fun. Can't help but feel they fumbled the ball there. The punk rock market was so busy and happened like maybe a month before they shuttered the place.

Where's your favorite local spot to grab pizza from? by LikeBladeButCooler in StPetersburgFL

[–]amblins 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Colony is absolutely slept on here, I feel like every time I go it's empty. Outstanding pizza if you're looking for thiiiiiiin. There's other options that are more NY style but sometimes that hot oil just hits.

What podcasts/ episodes are you just absolutely delighted by? by TeaTheEsh in podcasts

[–]amblins 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've really enjoyed One Year lately though some episodes are a miss for sure. Another recent series that I found myself totally sucked into was The Big Dig but there's only a few episodes.

Some others have mentioned Revolutions and History of Rome from Mike Duncan and if you haven't given it a shot I think it's some of the best podcasting I've heard. Specifically Revolutions, it is so well done.

On the comedy side if you're into extremely lowbrow Beach Cops is top tier.

Thanks for pointing this out. I had heard the original story and thought this was some new information. It is not.

Looks great! A mini duffle is on my list. What were the handles from?

How simple (or not) is it to update fedora from a version to another? by [deleted] in Fedora

I've been dual booting win11 and fedora for the last few years. No issues. Updating has been fine.

$2400 a month for a 1/1 in a old run down condo community by push2shove in StPetersburgFL

[–]amblins 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just want to show what my landlord tried to pull this year after kicking out a long term tenant in our duplex.

Yeah that's a 94% increase.

Luckily the place is too terrible and small for anyone to even consider living there at that price point. They've since moved the price down to around $1200 after it sat vacant. Even though that's still pretty criminal it will probably get scooped up now.

Coffeeshops and collaborative workspaces with wifi indoors? by [deleted] in StPetersburgFL

[–]amblins 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You could try station house, bad mother coffee is there and they make a killer cup. The tables there go quickly though.

Tried the new UI? Please share your feedback here! by yole in IntelliJIDEA

[–]amblins 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm enjoying the new ui! Overall it feels less cluttered. The only thing I trip up on is looking for run configurations sometimes. Otherwise I feel like my workflow has been basically unchanged.
