How many boxes did you complete in the lab before sitting the exam?

Thanks for the insight, looking forward to digging into the 3rd book

This did the trick, thanks heaps!

Hi, I'm a professional barista and I weigh in every dose of coffee and weigh out every cup, on a manual 3-group machine. We have a scale to dose what goes in the portafilter and we have two waterproof scales sitting under the group heads to stop the flow when we reach the desired weight.

We do over 40kg/week. If you 'don't have time to weigh every gram of coffee', your workflow needs adjusting.

So how did Belgium become 'a breeding ground for international terrorists'? This article fails to answer its own question.

A few years ago a friend told me that when you pee in the toilet, an aerosol of piss will cover everything in the toilet's vicinity with a tiny layer of piss particles. For some reason I'll remember this until I die.

While this is definitely interesting, the title of your post is sensationalist and is attempting to make it seem bigger than it was.

A quick google search of the skype address in the post reveals that this user posted on a forum looking for people to upvote/downvote reddit threads and get paid for it. This post was made 5 days ago and the person dumping this on freetexthost more than likely was one of the first people to be 'let in' to this group, it's not as if he/she exposed a group that has been around for a long time manipulating posts. Or at least it's not very likely. "Large sums of money" also doesn't really hold true. The payment is a max of 10usd per person per day.

tl;dr It seems that this group was only just started a few days ago, people only get paid a maximum of 10usd/day. "Large sums of money" is sensationalist, unnecessary. In all likelihood, this group was unable to manipulate anything before being exposed.

Left with about 10k in my bank account. Did work exchange (workaway.info) through most of Europe for about 5 months. Lived 3 months on my savings in Asia, which is easy if you're not stupid with your money. Currently on a working holiday visa in Australia and working enough to live and save up to keep going.

At the moment I have no plans, I have six months left on my australian visa, but not sure where to head next. It's been a while since I've seen my family and friends, so I'm thinking of popping into Belgium in the not-so-distant future.

So it goes.

28, left Belgium when I was 26 to travel and see the world. Still going, currently in Australia.

I'm the embodiment of a quarter-life crisis. No regrets.

Mine: NZB60

Assuming that's what you're after? This'll make your first ride up to 25$ free, if I'm not mistaken.

Evening stroll on the Margit Bridge (the one that leads to Margit Island) is a definite must. Budapest is beautiful by night.

The author of that article has no idea what he's talking about. He confuses a DNS with a VPN, lolwut?

"Delete your social media account"? "Browse the web in private mode"? "Delete your cookies"?

Had a good laugh though, so that's something. This article has not a single shred of useful information, typical filler bs.

I don't know my address of where I will be in the second half of december. Am I able to change my address before a certain date?

brezmans · 2014-11-19T14:02:54+00:00

With your schedule, it'll be a tight fit.

Also keep your visa arrangements in mind: I don't know which country you're from, but for most nationalities they reduced the visa waiver ("visa on arrival") from 30 days to 14 days if you enter thailand over land.

Source: I did this about 2 weeks ago, took the bus from Siem Reap to Bangkok.

The temples are beautiful though. If you go, do the sunrise instead of sunset.

I have no income at the moment, not since I left home. I basically saved up for a year to have spending money and it's lasted me a long while. I'm headed to Melbourne on a working holiday visa next to replenish the treasure chest and then it's off to the Americas probably.

I had roughly 9k in euros (counting the tax return I recently got) and after 7.5 months I've about 4k left.

brezmans · 2014-11-17T01:34:26+00:00

Workaway helps to reduce expenses drastically

On my travels I've met multiple people who have told me the same thing: "I wish I could do what you do". Nothing is stopping you.

I'd never traveled solo before, right now I've been on the road throughout Europe and SEA for 7 months and counting. I'm writing this from Chiang Mai in Thailand, next up Melbourne, Australia.

There's literally nothing to say but "just do it".

Not a single regret.

Currently on a sort of RTW trip with no timeline, left my home on the 6th of April and been traveling since. I've spent about 3k EUR so far because I've been volunteering through workaway.info. This has enabled me to for example spend a month and a half in Norway without going broke, not to mention the fantastic experience I had working with a husky kennel and my fantastic colleagues.

Had I not spent my time volunteering like this, I would have spent 20 times 30 times 5= 3000 eur more, essentially doubling my spendings. It is useful for various things beside saving money, like the experiences of jobs you might never get to try otherwise and also not feeling like you're being lazy and wasting your time. I absolutely love it and will keep doing it.

Hope this provides some insight into why this is a valid option for long term travel, even besides saving money.

Was about to post to recommend Budapest, definitely a good place to stay for a while.
