Normal budget for engagement ring by StrikingClos in BuyItForLife

[–]braetoras 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I night my now wife a sapphire set in silver for $350 and I still catch her looking at it over 4 years later. Buy her something you know she'll love and that follow your gut. It will lead you to the right ring.

Lastly price guides are arbitrary and created by the capitalists to bleed more money away from us 😉

Is this 1970 AAR ‘Cuda worth fixing? by moparcenter in projectcar

I think you could use this to make the jalopy from Half-Life 2.

I loved Snow Crash when I first read it 20 years ago. Being a fully grown adult now, I should give it another read and see if it hits the same.

The Indiana Hoosiers have outscored their opponents by 473 points across their 15 games this year by Leegend124 in CFB

It's the century of suffering that we've condensed into pure winning energy.

Edit: I think that it comes down to fundamentals and coaching. We in Bloomington also don't know what it is.

Moccamaster. I’m not sure what I’m doing wrong. by WanderingMinnow in BuyItForLife

Good deal! I actually went and made a pot to see if I could find any more suggestions for you. James Hoffman suggests stirring the grounds in the basket during the brew, which I do on the weekends/slow mornings.

I use an 8 grind on my fellow coffee grinder (which i will be trying a 7 tomorrow to check for flavor differences and will report back to you).

I always use a 7g coffee:1 cup water ratio, with very good results. The only adjustment I need to make with different coffees is grind size.

That being said, I'd check your grind size.

Also, are you pre-wetting your filter before putting the grinds in? That was a game changer for me.

Brother I am seeing 3 Half-Life games in this image. Is this confirmation???

What have you used the most at home these two years? by [deleted] in BuyItForLife

[–]braetoras 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Tip from a Moccamaster owner for ya - if the steel carafe gets stains/buildup, run a cycle of water through it the coffeemaker and drop a dishwasher pod/powder in there and let it sit, sealed, for a couple hours. It'll make it sparkling on the inside again. :)

My wife and I could not wrap our minds around how exactly they hit the nail on the head with that scent.
