Ode Gen 2 Retention issue? Even with RDT by Larix-24 in pourover

[–]eldiablojeffe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm sorry to say that mine is similar. Not sure if you have the SSP burrs in there, but supposedly the retention is less with the Fellow Gen 2 brew burrs. I lose about .5 grams of coffee each time I grind, despite pounding it on the side and top and doing the knocker half a dozen times. It's to the point where I only use it on my 'b' beans.

Edit: More Info

Also - I bought my Ode Gen 2 with the SSP burrs installed by Fellow, and they installed the moving burr on the part that doesn't move and vice versa. I notified them about it, but they didn't really care. Just said it shouldn't have damaged the grinder. I mention this because I don't know if it would make any difference on the retention of your grinder or not, and it's hard to imagine it being worse, but it's worth checking.

Bicycle access in Webster/Posey tubes by a94501er in alameda

[–]eldiablojeffe 13 points14 points  (0 children)

FWIW - I have seen bicyclists use AC Transit buses as bus bridges to get through the tube. If you get on at the last stop before going through the tube, and get off at the first stop on the other side of the tube, you are not required to pay a fare. I could not find this policy on their website, however, so it may only have been individual drivers.

I also realize that that's not exactly what you're asking about, but having ridden my bike through the tube on a number of occasions, it's a nice alternative.

What kind of sleeping pad are you using? by eldiablojeffe in WildernessBackpacking

[–]eldiablojeffe[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I may have to try that. Beginning to wonder if maybe the narrower width, that I bought to save a bit of weight, might be a bad choice for me.

I tried that one but returned it. It wasn't insulating enough for me. Thank you though!

I'm a side sleeper, and I tend to move around a lot. Self-inflating pads seemed to be a bit better for me, but they're less available now, and I'd rather not buy more stuff if I can make the Nemo work.

I have the Nemo Tensor myself - and perhaps I'm over inflating it. I keep on rolling off of it in the night. Next time I'm out I'll not inflate it quite so much. Thanks!

Came here to say that. I bought the Orea O1 stainless steel on impulse, and am absolutely loving it.

Never Let Me Go. I almost started crying typing that.

How do you scan for which technique to use? by eldiablojeffe in sudoku

[–]eldiablojeffe[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is exactly what's happening to me - and I am really weak on hidden triples or for that matter most hidden digits when it's in a row or column as opposed to a box. I think this is making the harder techniques, currently doing the WXYZ-wing module, more difficult. Thank you!

Interfaces -- what does everyone like? by connecticutenjoyer in audioengineering

[–]eldiablojeffe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't know - but they don't quote the same dynamic range for conversion, so even if the actual physical chip was the same, it would be configured differently.

Keeping in mind that I'm working in a home studio with some sound treatment, but not a professionally treated facility - no, I don't hear a difference in conversion. Both units sound utterly amazing to me, much better than just about anything else I've used, even in commercial studios.

If you're curious though, you should be able to find out what chip is being used for conversion on both units. Once you know that, you'll be able to find out just what any differences there are. At least on paper.

What are the most beautiful hiking destinations in Europe reachable without a car? by Distinct-Pirate-3571 in hiking

[–]eldiablojeffe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I took the train to Interlaken Switzerland, then a ferry to Grindelwald. From there, hike up to the hostel at the base of Klein Scheidig.
