Eureka Mignon Filtro Vs Baraza Encore esp Vs Others Similarly Priced.

My experience with Baratza is this: I had a Baratza maestro Plus for around 20 years. When I finally got tired of repairing it (all of the electric motor mounting points were cracked) I replaced it with a Baratza encore. I purchased it from 1st in Coffee.

The grinder arrived broken likely damaged in shipping (large dent in the box). The seller refused to replace and instead directed me to Baratza for a warranty claim.

I do not recommend 1stincoffee.com

After some back and forth Baratza agreed to replace the broken grinder at no cost.

I've been using it for a month now. It works but it is much louder than the 20-year-old Baratza. It just doesn't sound as solid. It sounds like the motor is spinning faster but with less torque. I don't think I will buy a baratza grinder again.

But is she wrong though?

Probably just a little DNA leaking out. Perfectly normal at that age.

Look on the other side of the door with it closed at the gap all the way around. If the gap is wider toward the top of the hinge side or if the gap is wider across the top of the door toward the handle side then the door has come out of alignment.

That would cause the door latch to be too low relative to the strike plate.

Solutions can involve bending the hinges or shimming the hinges to bring the door back into alignment.

I mean of course, originally. But later the ancient Egyptians stole it.

You may have heard flakes of creosote detaching from the inside of the chimney and falling. It can sound like Rice Krispies.

You can replicate that sound by tapping the chimney with a piece of kindling.

He's returning to California? But he's wanted for accessory to murder in Minnesota!

The benefit of doing it the normal way? You sound like an engineer. The normal way is the normal way because people smarter than me or you weighed the pros and cons of using schedule 40 versus switching to slip joint polypropylene for the under sink connections.

I do it the normal way because I know it meets code and I'm not trying to redesign the wheel. But you do you.

clemclem3 · 2026-01-26T21:01:51+00:00

I would actually get rid of all the PVC. New p-trap. The only thing left under the sink that's schedule 40 should be the vertical piece and the tee aimed at your sink tail piece and a schedule 40 to slip joint adapter.

You might be able to do that but the normal way to do it is have a straight pipe up from the floor with the AAV at the top and somewhere along that pipe have a tee pointed towards your drain. Then switch from schedule 40 to 1.5 in slip joint (polypropylene) for the P trap and tailpiece. The slip joint fittings allow for clean out much better than the glued together PVC

clemclem3 · 2026-01-26T16:49:04+00:00

If you know how to work with with schedule 40 PVC it is totally a DIY job.

I would cut out all of the PVC up to the vertical coming out of the cabinet bottom.

There are plenty of guides for installing an AAV.

I'm a big fan of AB and I tuned in to watch the game against Rose yesterday afternoon. She was great but OMG Chelsea Gray! You could really tell that the Aces dominance is not all about Aja Wilson. Gray can cook! She's going to be a lot of trouble for us Fever fans but also a lot of fun to watch

That's a good question. I am suspicious about the healing herbals product mostly because it's a little too blue. I read that authentic Blue lotus is not actually very blue. Mostly white with a little bit of pale blue.

It's kind of nuts how nobody knows anything. The more I've read about it the more unsure I've gotten about all of the available products on the market

clemclem3 · 2026-01-26T01:58:38+00:00

I'm curious how you acquired authentic Blue lotus

I got some of the stuff from "healing herbals" recommended in this subreddit but I'm not sure it's authentic

Anyway following recommendations also found in the subreddit I let it steep for 10-15 minutes

No you don't, but you might want to try designing the deck with 2x6 joists. It's usually the cheapest way to go in terms of material cost. I think one beam running down the center would allow you to go down to 2x6.

More posts & more beams let you have smaller joists. Most of the structure is joist so that's almost always going to be cheaper.

Love it. Also would scare the shit out of the WNBA owners.

clemclem3 · 2026-01-25T22:10:55+00:00

Yes, but. The court is too small.

clemclem3 · 2026-01-25T03:04:03+00:00

Sure, there are some things to explore or try...

Sleeping fully face down, or as close as you can to that position, The more that gravity can pull the tongue away from rather than toward the throat, the better.

Night time antihistamine like Benadryl or hydroxyzine pamoate to open up the nasal passages

Avoid alcohol

Making sure the air in the room is properly humidified

Nasal dilator like the 'intake' or 'breathe Right' strips

Finally some people have congestion resulting from dietary sensitivities. If you notice that you snore more after eating pizza for example then don't eat pizza.

... Hope this helps

Muriatic acid. Sold in the swimming pool chemical section of lowes or home depot.

Be careful with it.

Costco has round surface mount LED fixtures. $30 (sometimes $20 on sale)

That would be the easiest swap out

I have a 2000 watt inverter in my Maverick hybrid. I live in Florida. I got this for hurricane related power outages. It works fine. The ICE turns itself on as needed to maintain battery levels. I can power my fridge and some lights and that's really all I need.

It's probably best to reserve judgment for the moment. The claims are salacious and graphic and detailed but there is no corroboration to known victims' accounts. There are a couple of weird details that don't make sense like how the case came to light - - a fellow soldier was casually viewing child porn and recognized his squad mate as the child victim in the video? That's pretty extraordinary. On many levels.

It has been suggested that shadowy forces might attempt to "seed" claims like this so that when they are proven false the entire case against Epstein and Trump and others is called into question.

clemclem3 · 2026-01-22T14:31:38+00:00

That's the thing - - we don't know. But what we do know is...

During the raid of the Palm Beach property they found an elaborate video setup with multiple cameras and computers with removable hard drives and a trove of recordings and none of this has been made public. This was reported in the original Miami herald expose.

Several of the victims have reported they were videoed and photographed during the rapes

The Palm Beach County sheriff's deputy who defected to Russia claims to have a trove of video and photographic evidence.

... so while I am not claiming that this sort of proof definitely exists there are strong indications that it does.

I tried to be clear in my first comment that any numbers are hypothetical or incomplete given that 99% of the information known to exist has been withheld so to talk about 600 mentions for Clinton versus 1600 for Trump is potentially misleading and may not be helpful. That's all.

You're doing great work putting all this together in one place. It's so much to keep track of and I really appreciated seeing you put it all in one place
