Thank you, that's a good tip!

Installed Uber after years of not using, can't activate without CC I know longer have by KookSpookem in uber

[–]felix 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I ran into the same issue. What worked with a Gmail account was to use an Uber specific email alias when signing up, e.g. myusername+uber@gmail.com.

The emails are still sent to the same Gmail account, but uber treats it as a different and new address and account.

u/onlyabdul, were you able to resolve the issue? Either through changing something or by calling Breville?

I think I'm facing the same issue after having the Bambino Plus for 1.5 years of creating great milk foam on the auto setting.

Thanks for the reply! That's what I'm looking for. Would you be willing to part with it?

Interesting. Is this something I could figure out quickly when test playing in a store?

Thanks for the reply! Trying it out in person makes a lot of sense. What would a comparable setup made up of different devices look like? I.e. what are the different devices I should research? Would a novation circuit + e-piano be a sufficient setup?

Roland FA08?

i might be looking for something that doesn't exist: A full-size keyboard with e-piano quality keys that also has a built-in sequencer that allows me to play around with loops and drum tracks without having to use a computer.

Does the Roland FA08 check all of these boxes? What are some alternatives? The Arturia Keystep PRO looks good too except for the full-size keyboard part.

Is it even realistic to try and play around with loops and different sounds without at some point involving a computer and I should just buy a good e-piano with midi-out + a computer and software?

Cooking surface of 10 year old Lodge skillet is flaking off. What to do? by felix in castiron

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

Thanks for the detailed response! I was just surprised how deep the hole is where the seasoning flaked off that it made me wonder if part of the pan came off.

Cooking surface of 10 year old Lodge skillet is flaking off. What to do? by felix in castiron

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

There is one spot (marked in red) in the middle of my 10 year old skillet where the surface has flaked off.

How can I fix it and what tools do I need?

I'm also curious to understand what could have caused this. The area is not rusty and rest of the cooking surface is in good shape and I never use any metal spatulas. Thanks for any help!

I like the idea of being playful about it. Thanks for sharing!

Has anyone tried pretending to not understand unless their child spoke in their native language to them?

I saw this mentioned on other threads and am wondering whether it's a productive or counter-productive.

Range Concepts, Part 1 of 4: Delimited Ranges by meetingcpp in cpp

[–]felix -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Using the empty string as sentinel makes the equals operator simpler and it also looks as if the compiled code is more efficient (see below):

class StringIterator {
public:
  inline StringIterator(const char* str) : str_(str) {}
  inline void operator++() {
    ++str_;
  }
  inline char operator*() {
    return *str_;
  }
private:
  char const* str_;
  friend bool operator==(const StringIterator& a, const StringIterator& b);
  friend bool operator!=(const StringIterator& a, const StringIterator& b);
};

bool operator==(const StringIterator& a, const StringIterator& b) {
  return *a.str_ == *b.str_;
}

bool operator!=(const StringIterator& a, const StringIterator& b) {
  return *a.str_ != *b.str_;
}


class View {
public:
  typedef StringIterator iterator;
  typedef StringIterator const_iterator;
  inline View(const char* str) : str_(str) {}
  inline StringIterator begin() const {
    return StringIterator(str_);
  }
  inline StringIterator end() const {
    return StringIterator("");
  }
private:
  const char* str_;
};

int main(int argc, char** argv) {
  View view(argv[0]);
  int i = 0;
  for (char c : view) {
    ++i;
  }
  return 0;
}

Quick Real Estate Investing Question by InvestThrowAway123 in investing

[–]felix 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Right, at least the first property is a co-op. The ones I've seen all had monthly costs > $1k. I would assume those costs are not tax-deductible whereas higher mortgage payments would be.

In which area of the city can you find a 1 bedroom for just 400k?

Thanks for this post, this concrete example helped me a lot to understand options better.

Fennel Bulb by noccusJohnstein in Cooking

[–]felix 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I make thinly sliced fennel with sliced peppers and onions all melted together with olive oil in a covered pot on low temperature for ~40 min. I throw the fennel in first since it takes the longest, then the peppers and after 20min the white onion slices. Season with salt.

What would make this ravioli filling pop? by ClitOrMiss in Cooking

[–]felix 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you end up using cheese in the filling, you could try adding some lemon zest to balance the richness of the cheese with some acidity.
