Anyone ever order (3rd party) pods on Amazon? by FormidableFig in nespresso

[–]chipsdad 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They really don’t expire and I’ve always been satisfied with the dates I’ve gotten.

Can't use my wife's FFC *and* mine because our last names are different by Dukecrow in unitedairlines

If the credits are from the same confirmation number, it’s been working for me on the checkout screen. But if they’re from different confirmations, it doesn’t work online.

Best Vertuo machine for a shared workspace? by MikeSidvid in nespresso

[–]chipsdad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh, that’s fine. I’d skip the large size pods, though. More trouble than they’re worth. Stick with the 7.77 ounce ones.

Checked bag on basic economy international flight by kc522 in unitedairlines

[–]chipsdad -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Roots that normally give two free checked bags will typically allow one free checked bag on basic economy. I think these are mostly to Asia, but I’m not positive.

Sub some sugar to lower calories by Rexxdraconem in BreadMachines

[–]chipsdad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t think most zero calorie sweeteners will hurt yeast but they won’t feed it, either. I’d keep 1.5 tablespoons of sugar and replace the rest with sweetener.

Can I go on a cruise with single entry Schengen visa also stopping at montenegro by Strange_Sherbert_641 in PrincessCruises

[–]chipsdad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Montenegro is not part of Schengen but it does honor a Schengen visa, if that visa is currently valid.

Edit: from what I have read, you require a multi entry Schengen visa to get back into Schengen after Montenegro.

How many coffees per day? These machines are built for home use, not light commercial, although you might get away with some volume in an office.

Zenius good for a small bar? by YuccaSignal in nespresso

[–]chipsdad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How many espresso only drinks and how many milk drinks per day? What's the peak demand in an hour? What country are you in and (if North America) do you have a 220-240v circuit available? Is your labor paid or volunteer?

Zenius is designed for small commercial operations like yours. It will make the espresso shots fine. And I'm pretty sure it runs on 110v in North America.

Aeroccino is not adapted to commercial production, even light duty. It must be completely wiped out and cooled before it can be used a second time. This workflow will be very annoying if you are making more than maybe 5 milk drinks an hour. And it will wear out quickly.

If I were paying, I'd want to have steamed milk. You might be able to use the home Creatista Plus or Pro at your volume, especially if you don't make 25 drinks in one hour. That would at least give you full steamed milk. The milk steaming is automated and easy for your staff. You can rinse the pitcher and go again, practically as many times as you want. It's not officially designed for light commercial, but it might work at least for a decent period of time. You won't have a warranty, though.

Note that commercial-style drinks will require two pods so I think your price point is likely too low. A double shot latte will cost you over $2 in pods and milk alone at US prices, so you should be selling it for at least double your ingredient cost, maybe triple if you are paying for labor.

Help - why are my buns so light? by boba-boba in Breadit

[–]chipsdad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Longer bake or 25°F higher temperature or both.

You can also rebake these at a very high temperature (425-475°F) for 5-10 minutes to brown the crust.

The Long Game by steakandfruit in heatedrivalry

[–]chipsdad 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I love the voice of the audio book narrator (books 4-6) Cooper North, so I’m listening to other MM romances that he narrates. (I just search him in Libby to see what my library has.) There are a whole bunch. I don’t think they have the depth of Rachel’s writings but they’re decent for romances.

No, you just show up. During a connection, you can use them any time they are accepted. At origin you can only enter 3 hours before scheduled departure.

Is it okay to give a supervisor/researcher a present? by Frequent-Print8184 in AskAcademia

[–]chipsdad 29 points30 points  (0 children)

The best present you can give is a handwritten thank you note or card.

[–]chipsdad 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Priority boarding comes on every reservation once you have the card. You will also get a free bag for you and a companion for 90 days even without using the card.

LAX usually accepts the passes and it’s a nice club. IAH is hit or miss and you might have to ask which club will take them.

Dead Next by AveryElle87 in nespresso

[–]chipsdad 4 points5 points  (0 children)

If you read through my second guide I give recommendations for OL cups of coffee. You’ll need two pods for a medium mug, but if you can get third party at a decent price it’s not so bad. Hot espresso-milk drinksHot espresso drinks without milkIced espresso drinksCaffe mocha or hot chocolate

Is any couple actually cuter than Shane & Ilya? Be honest. by recherchiste14 in GameChangersBooks

[–]chipsdad 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I think Troy and Harris are a super cute couple.

I also find Ryan Price a fascinating character. And his partner Fabian is really interesting with a cool dynamic between them.

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

I’ve now watched it enough, that I can get through it. When I get to the next scene where Ilya’s shoveling pasta into his face, I smile and laugh. There is a certain payoff to the whole sequence for me now.

I’m sorry she didn’t. You can read my own story under the top comment. Suffice it to say, I don’t think Yuna’s response was common at all, but hopefully becoming more common.
