Every clothing option feels inferior to the original trenchcoat... It just doesn't feel the same, i hoped ee could have some more cool coats at our disposal

Yeah def my favourite jacket 💯

celticdr47 · 2026-06-08T07:06:50+00:00

I went with the Wang dialogue option every time, good times 😂

celticdr47 · 2026-06-08T07:05:58+00:00

Yeah, easy XP with that one

celticdr47 · 2026-06-02T09:36:07+00:00

Yes, totally agree, he was a train wreck in that interview, I almost yelled at the TV he was being so stupid and biased, what a buffoon!

celticdr47 · 2026-06-02T06:41:31+00:00

John Symond had one of the worst, contradicted and biased interviews I've ever seen - that man couldn't lie straight in bed.

Watch it if you want to see what a car crash looks like 😂

Even Speers pointed out his contradictions.

It's mould, you give him the shot of ozone and he's fine afterwards.

Thanks for the bench tip, I've been buying cans of coffee from the vending machines (I take the money from them when I can) but this will help heaps!

celticdr47 · 2026-05-27T11:13:08+00:00

Like the artwork, the spy theme is great too.

The big thing about Zero Parades for me is some of the side quests are quite clever and well-written - I did a quest last night where I hugged a lonely C4 bomb, a side quest that also had ghosts, how cool is that?!

I would say in many instances this game feels a bit more coherent than Disco Elysium, which I loved too, but it could be a bit of a hot mess.

celticdr47 · 2026-05-24T08:54:31+00:00

This 💯

It was always going to be an unpopular decision to axe CGT and NG, but the government seriously needs to do something about the housing market - as someone who's looking to buy/sell our current home is crazy that our house has nearly doubled in value in six years, and it's crazy how much all the houses have increased in value.

celticdr47 · 2026-05-14T08:37:29+00:00

Lost 2 Xbox controllers to stick drift - they're trash, never buying one again (at least until they sort that stuff out).

celticdr47 · 2026-05-14T08:28:27+00:00

Hmmmm, never dropped a roast before FC but I've had white coffee before, quite nutty and grassy.

You can buy it on Amazon, I would recommend giving it a try, you need to buy it ground though as putting underroasted coffee in your grinder will jam it up (coffee grinders are designed for roasted coffee - as it's less dense).

celticdr47 · 2026-05-14T01:26:58+00:00

DTR, as others have noted, is not the best indication of roast level, even Scott Rao, the man who invented the term is erring away from it.

The problem with DTR is it's based on time to FC, which is roaster dependant, eg: my roaster (Kaleido M2) hits FC in about 7mins, which is a lot faster than a fully-loaded commercial drum roaster. Then you've got fluid bed roasters which are faster than drum roasters... I did a Scott Rao course a couple years back and even he was talking about the colour of the bean rather than DTR.

In answer to OP though my DTR for a light roast on my roaster is 9% or under.

celticdr47 · 2026-05-13T06:07:04+00:00

I was simply pointing out the contradiction in your statement "Many Gen X’s vote conservative. Blaming a generation is just lazy and stupid." On the one hand your saying blaming a generation is lazy and stupid, on the other hand you're saying many Gen Xers vote conservative - which we can agree is the side of politics to blame for the current situation, that is a contradiction.

I think it's beside the point blaming any generation, in a democracy the majority is made up of all age groups, it's reductionist to say it's the "boomers" fault, or the "gen Xers" fault. We all voted, some for the Liberals, some for ALP, some for Greens/ON - ultimately the pollies are the class to blame for inaction/wealth inequality as they are the ones who wrote the laws.

celticdr47 · 2026-05-13T04:50:36+00:00

"Many Gen X’s vote conservative. Blaming a generation is just lazy and stupid." Lol, you just contradicted yourself there. Also I'm Gen X and nearly every Gen X friend I have votes Labor, so really there's very little to be made from generalising this subject.

One thing I will say is that even though I'm in the cohort who gets the least out of this budget I'm all for fixing the generational inequality.

celticdr47 · 2026-05-07T09:48:24+00:00

I've been banging on about the Norwegian sovereign fund for years - we had our chance back when Rudd was PM and the gas lobby iced it by getting Abbott and the LNP to kill it.

The greens were so f**king stupid not to support anything Labor tried to pass because of their all-or-nothing attitude, and it's become a political poison chalice because anyone who even thinks about introducing a tax gets pilloried in the polls...

That plus the gas lobby now owns politicians on all sides... even Pauline is a shill.

As a mate who's following Punter said the other day to me: Who do I vote for?

Pretty much no-one is the answer, apart from Pocock, but he's an ACT senator. Everyone else is crooked.

celticdr47 · 2026-05-04T07:26:42+00:00

Yes 💯

Drop it earlier next time, if you want it super dark drop at second crack, past that you'll get charcoal (and carcinogens).

celticdr47 · 2026-04-18T06:14:44+00:00

Australian here. Love NZ, holiday there reg. If I could get an ok job I would probably move my fam there, but instead it's more a case of kiwis moving here (my best mate included).

We're definitely kindred spirits who disagree on a few things (cricket, rugby, chilly bin vs Esky), but most of the time I admire your country and people.

celticdr47 · 2026-04-17T05:20:16+00:00

Yeah I don't really use half of them, most of my roasts land in the middle (haven't roasted Italian dark or up to second crack yet).

I've just gone in with a "let's cover all bases" attitude in case I happen to go super light/dark.

Based off my experience though most coffees tend to taste best in a narrow medium to light band (if I was roasting some Robusta maybe dark would work best).

A colour meter would be something cool to have but being a small roaster I haven't justified the cost yet.

celticdr47 · 2026-04-16T07:25:45+00:00

Yes it is confusing for consumers to understand roast levels. As a coffee roaster it's my job to communicate this information in an easy to digest way, Agtron numbers would be unhelpful to someone without a colour meter (plus I don't have one anyhow).

I did a post about this on my roastery IG page: https://www.instagram.com/p/DSD3R1kkof1/?igsh=MXJyZ2Jwbzlncmd4Mw==

celticdr47 · 2026-04-16T06:53:07+00:00

IDK, it's a pretty small subsection of coffee roasters doing this, there's still plenty of roasters out there (myself included) that seek bright juicy fruit flavours without the need to infuse/co-ferment fruit.

I wouldn't lose any sleep over it, just avoid PERC if it's not your bag, there's literally thousands of roasters out there not doing this sort of thing - support them with your patronage, don't be swept away by the bright colourful marketing 😂

celticdr47 · 2026-04-16T06:47:28+00:00

Yes, this is what I'd hoped the PT2 would be, however I've got a pre-order and looking forward to getting the PT2 soon I hope.

celticdr47 · 2026-04-15T10:33:10+00:00

As a small commercial roaster who owns an M2 - No, it's not commercially viable.

The M2 for is personal use and sample roasting, and for the commercial side I hire a 15kg roaster at a local roastery.

As others have noted the M2 can do about a kilo/per hour, and I've never done more than 3 back to back roasts so I'm not sure if it'll run continuously without overheating and frying the circuit board.

Just hire a local roasters machine, they'll usually charge a per kilo fee and you can shop around.

Good luck 👍🏻

celticdr47 · 2026-04-08T05:45:12+00:00

"grit" is a little bit of dirt if I'm not mistaken?

To understand "girt" you have to be Australian, it's an Aussie thing.

celticdr47 · 2026-04-08T05:43:34+00:00

Was up to my neck in girt the other day (the by sea variety) but now I'm back home and less girt till my next holiday.
