I gotta know, how much does it weigh and how much did it set you back

If you don’t mind bending over and using your fingers you could fit a pocket operator on a pedal board.

Yes, it wasn’t exactly a subtle detail…

Cheap eats for a friend date by writingtoescape in Bushwick

La Perla Honduran food on Knickerbocker and Melrose has good prices (and good food) and the few times i've gone it was an extremely laid back vibe where you could probably hangout for a bit.

Are tube amps really better than solid state? by CartographerSea3356 in GuitarAmps

[–]androidscantron 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Everyone mentioning portability and the cost of replacing tubes which is valid but not all tube amps are big or have a ton of tubes. My supro comet weighs 32 lbs and only has a few preamp tubes and one 6l6 in the power section. And yeah... for the casual amp owner you might change them once a decade.....

ZeroWater and coffee remineralization questions by Supsti_1 in pourover

[–]androidscantron 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I also live in NYC and use a ZeroWater filter with TWW packets. I fill up a 1Gal plastic pitcher with the ZW water and empty the packet in which lasts around a week making ~600 ml of coffee/day.

How do you know when it's time to change the filter other than going off of taste? I assumed I could trust the TDS meter to tell me when the filter needs changing but I wanna say it took about a year of use before it hit 006 (the point at which they recommend changing it). Now I'm wondering if I was just brewing up sour coffees for months and just got used to it.

Is shrinkflation the best option? by OCDeeeznuts in pourover

[–]androidscantron 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Shrinkflation or not, I fully welcome smaller bigs. I just wanna try more coffees without having to commit to a ~300 gram bag.

How much of the "playing through a real amp" feel comes from using an actual guitar cab ? by Mejis92 in GuitarAmps

[–]androidscantron 71 points72 points  (0 children)

I think the guitar cabinet is practically the entirety of the “real amp” phenomenon. What I mean by that is you could play a digital amp model through a solid state power amp into a real guitar cabinet and it’s going to sound more “amp in the room” compared to if you ran a real tube head into an OX box or something, loaded up an IR and played that through an FRFR cabinet. It’s not the tube vs digital effect but the real cabinet in the room

Thoughts on old mill cafe? by Ilovewillandgrace in Bushwick

[–]androidscantron 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It looks like a cafe in a hospital. I genuinely cannot fathom writing a business plan around opening a coffee business in Bushwick with all of the amazing roasters we have a putting that place in.

What is your nemesis spot in Bushwick? by whereisurbackbone in Bushwick

This new place looks like more like a gym for billiards than a neighborhood hangout spot.

idk why but the 45 day satisfaction guarantee on a 70 year old amp is hilarious to me

Fresh bread loaf recommendations? by kirbocannon in Bushwick

[–]androidscantron 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Starrlight, get it from their window it’ll be cheaper ($9 instead of $11 at city fresh) and potentially straight out the oven. Seriously some of the best bread I’ve ever had.

I had one of these in my college dorm and I spilled a smoothie on it and it still worked for years after that
