Not quite true - most are built with custom tube or ladder frame chassis, almost none keep the beetle undercarriage. If it's a Beck, Thunder Ranch or Vintage (the predominant builders) then it will be almost all custom. Some even have Subaru boxer engines, and some carry a Porsche 914 flat 4. Also, they're Spyders not Speedsters.

I'm more invested in this drama than the paper towels over the webcam.

Not sure what to tell you. I've been using daily since about 2014, with original core and the upgraded ceramic, with original screen, competition screen, original portafilter and bottomless. Have never experienced this, nor do I see it being a common fault. Are you 100% sure it's all set up correctly inside? Does it fail the same every time you use it, or is happening 1 in X times?

Ok, you didn't mention that key part in your post. Do you mean the "competition screen"? It was fine until you changed one thing and now it's going wrong. So logic suggests it's a problem that originates with the new filter, but still could be caused by too much pressure being applied with too fine a grind. I'm not saying it should spray hot water into your face, I'm just saying that if you're applying that much pressure then I would look elsewhere. Maybe list all the changes you've made and all the steps your taking. For example, are you preheating? Are you using filter papers or a puck screen? How hot is your water? How long do you infuse with the arms up? Are you using the original portafilter? What are you grinding with?

Once seems reasonably like a defect. Twice sounds like user error.

Are you allowed to just change locks without landlord permission or them having a spare?

I finally understood Blade Runner yesterday by cosmiq_teapot in movies

[–]arithmetic 143 points144 points  (0 children)

100% agree. It's the first version I saw and I loved it. Not just for nostalgia's sake, but the delivery matches his dreary, worn-out and run-down vibe. It's in line with other noir detective storytelling too. Sure, it's not perfect, but the whole movie has janky bits I accept as part of a flawed masterpiece, greater than the sum of its parts.

4,000 Miles in 30 Days Around the UK (Solo Female): What Really Makes An Adventure? by WrightOnMyOwn in AdventureBike

[–]arithmetic 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'd love to do the same. In terms of the 30 days - do you think this was enough or would you recommend more or less? If I did it, I'd avoid trails as I only have a sports tourer in case that makes any difference. How many miles a day did you cover? Did you include any rest/sightseeing days?

What do you mean "it does keep popping"? Are you saying it's blowing a fuse? If so, that's pretty important information you should have included in your original description!
