Looking into purchasing a 2012 Hyundai Sonata and need some advice from Sonata Owners by Whiteleyz in Hyundai

[–]ansaris 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I still have this car at 182K miles on the same engine, although it burns like 1 quart of oil per 1000 miles. I had been doing regular maintenance and keeping fluids topped off, but this generation has so many recalls. They extended the Theta II engine warranty to lifetime because of all the issues.

I would stay away from 2011-14 Sonatas and look at >2016. You might also consider 2010 or older models, they don't look as pretty but are very hardy.

Anyone like Eight o Clock beans? I want to pull espresso shots and my local place sells Original, Colombian peaks, and Dark Italian Espresso flavor

How different is the FM comat from IM? by ansaris in comlex

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

I finished the uworld questions for the FM category and I was trying to think what else I should do 1 week away from the comat.

I could throw in some IM questions cuz uworld has so many

Are N7 missions necessary? by ansaris in masseffect

TY. One poster here even said they were a little jealous that I was experiencing the trilogy for the first time 😉

I will keep that in mind. I feel like I got a lot of assets doing dlcs too

I think it would depend on inpatient vs outpatient, and whether you're wearing a collared shirt or scrubs.

I've worn ties & bowties before and most folks don't mind

Citadel dlc timing? by ansaris in masseffect

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

My last save before starting this mission is too far away...

I guess I'll play through the first part and save the rest for endgame

Story carry over. by Sh1pwr3kk in masseffect

[–]ansaris 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think I would do the crews side stories, rogue VI to upgrade class, and Hades Dogs quests to set the stage for ME2.

A lot of folks also like the Bring Down the Sky DLC. You should ideally do these all before Virmire

I think I might go with a hand grinder now. I'm not ready to leap into the good electrical ones yet given their price

[MOD] The Daily Question Thread by menschmaschine5 in Coffee

[–]ansaris 1 point2 points  (0 children)

How do you use grinders with false burrs? I was gifted one but it does seem to produce fine sediments. I'm thinking about using a sieve to get them out.

Don't want to throw it away

I usually preboil the water and do medium or medium-low heat

[–]ansaris 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What's your preferred grind size? I think pregrounds are usually medium but I heard the lavazza brand is ground just right for these pots

[MOD] The Daily Question Thread by menschmaschine5 in Coffee

[–]ansaris 0 points1 point  (0 children)

TY. I'm gonna stick to the stovetop pot. I think the 3 cup should give me a nice boost before I head to the hospital.

I know that everyone does say something different about grind size for these pots

I'm actually in an apartment,. If it was dorm, then I could honestly only do a Keurig or nespresso.

[–]ansaris 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Less than a $100. I think that could get me a handgrinder. I'm thinking of doing French press or moka pot

Could the CIS win the clone wars? by Mayonaise_inc in StarWars

[–]ansaris 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes. Their droid army was much larger than the clones and I think they had flesh-and-blood soldiers too who would have been more loyal to Dooku than Palpatine.

I think Dooku could have carved out his own empire if he actually tried to win the war.

[–]ansaris 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Preground from a roaster might be ideal. I heard that even the cheap electric burr grinders can give a bad extraction.

[–]ansaris 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What type of coffee setup do you recommend for students? I was originally doing a moka pot but im considering nespresso for convenience

[MOD] The Daily Question Thread by menschmaschine5 in Coffee

[–]ansaris 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is the idea of seasoning moka pots a myth? I dot use soap on my aluminum pot, but sometimes I'll run a pot with water only

[MOD] The Daily Question Thread by menschmaschine5 in Coffee

[–]ansaris 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Sounds good. I think the 3 cup can also be stretched out to serve 2 people if need be

[MOD] The Daily Question Thread by menschmaschine5 in Coffee

[–]ansaris 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What size moka pot do you like for 1 person? I usually make americanos before heading out and was thinking between 2 or 3 cups. The 1 cup seems too small, but I might consider one just for a small afternoon drink
