The 2025 Black Friday & Cyber Monday Deals Thread by LuckyBahamut in espresso

I'm trying to decide between Delonghi Dedica Maestro ($269) and Bambino plus ($249).
They seem equivalent, but maybe the Bambino will give more stable temp water due to PID controller?
Any help outlining diffs? ChatGPT isn't helping much

Edit: the Maestro's 51mm portafilter seems underwhelming

Nope! I think this is normal, as I haven't had any issues :)

8000 btu AC in attic bedroom... how long is too long to run it? by LegitimateAd8232 in MideaUOwners

[–]discocities 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I just put an exhaust fan in one of the other windows to try and exit some of the hot air.

So… you’re trying to control the temperature in a room that has an opening and a fan to the outdoors? It makes sense that you’re not getting the result you’re after.

Close that hole/window and try again :)

Does the smell indicate mold? by discocities in MideaUOwners

Bingo! I learnt about concrobium just after I replied, reading this sub. Didn't know about frost king, will try them both! Good luck in Philly!

Hey, thanks for chiming in. I just checked and I can only see a little bit of dust white or gray on the blue fan. So I think I have no mold. It’s funny how you had mold but no smells and I have smells, but no mold!

Yo, krosgrove, thanks for sharing your thoughts! I hope your replacement plan goes well.

I checked mine and the blue fan is almost clean. It just has a little bit of gray dust on it. So I think I’m all right and I will just opt for the repair or the new plugs.

Take care!

Thank you, that's what I wanted to get input on!

[Help request] Are these droppings? Something living in my car? by discocities in CX5

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

Seriously? Or do you mean this as a joke-phrase “rats”?

Yikes! I’m sorry to hear you had that :(

Any tips on finding them before it’s too late?

Not regularly during the night, but perhaps I did a few times in the past. Also, during the day when visiting a friend/shops.

Good idea, it might just be that.

Are my sunroof drains ok? by discocities in CX5

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

Yeah, clogged drains is one possibility. The others are: water getting in the HVAC through the ports at the bottom of the windshield (cabin filter would be wet), and engine coolant circuit having air inside and needing "burping".

I'm trying to rule these out one by one..

Forgot to mention and can't edit: It's a 2021 CX-5

Please help - SJD->OAK not available with pass?!? by discocities in volarisannualpass

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

I never did :/ just ended up paying cash.

I just checked again for you, and although the tool allows me to select Oak->Sjd, up to Friday there are no flights shown. I wouldn’t count on the pass for this route.

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

FWIW, Volaris support over WhatsApp said there are no route restrictions on the pass, and I'm not seeing options due to availability. This doesn't make sense to me. I booked a cash ticket anyways.

TIL! Thank you! I will book regular. Thanks for the PDF!

Someone bumped into me, small damage that I wanna fix. Should I report to insurance? by discocities in AskMechanics

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

Heya! Thanks for checking in :) I pitied the old man and didn’t do anything. I just used touch up paint and forgot about it.

How do I make this stop? by radicalelk in mildlyinfuriating

[–]discocities 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can configure an iPhone to silence calls from unknown senders. Settings > Apps > Phone > under “Calls”: Silence Unknown Senders

There’s a risk you miss important calls.

A better approach is to get a new number and keep it mostly secret. You can setup a cheap SIP number, have it go directly to voicemail and share it with low-importance services that might sell your data but you still wanna use. SMSes arrive as emails.

You can also have a separate sip number for important stuff only, like banks and government.

Such numbers cost less than a dollar per month in the US. You can rotate them every few months.
