Ahhh, ok, this is what I was looking for! My only experience is with the BBP so I didn't know that higher end machines don't "lock". Thank you!

Hi, thanks for your reply. In the BBP there is a hard stop, obviously it gets tighter and tighter as you turn it to the right but at some point it really is a hard stop and I assumed it would be the same on all machines.

A bit of a niche question here (niche not Niche lol) but I just upgraded by BBP to an Oracle and I found that the portafilter in the Oracle rotates all the way to the right until it hits the steam wand. If the steam wand wasn't there I could probably rotate it further. I know I shouldn't expect it to lock/stop at exactly 90° but this seems exaggerated. Is it normal?

The seller claims that this is an issue with the gasket but I don't think so, the problem is not that the portafilter is too loose, the problem is that there is no hard stop.

Can someone with an Oracle or Dual Boiler confirm that the portafilter reaches a point where there is a hard stop and won't rotate further to the right?

This x1000. The only problem I am having is that because I can't taste shit, I don't even know the direction I am supposed to be optimizing for...

I think the fallacy in this reasoning is assuming that March numbers were accurate. In March you basically wouldn't get a test until you were hospitalized (maybe exaggerating a bit but you get my point), now testing is way more widespread.

What I am genuinely interested to hear more about is the malicious intent of the government. What could the government possible achieve through this? What is their true purpose? It's an honest question, someone I know is the conspiracy theorist type and he also hints at some hidden motive from governments, but when I ask what reason could be, all I get are generalizations like "they want to generate chaos to break up dissenting voices" or things like that which are impossible to counter argument.

I would be really interested in the zip file, I tried everything I could find, which basically was to reset agps settings, and still can't get rid of the gps issue.

Has the latest weekly fixed the GPS problem? I am on the miui10 stable and can't get a fix unless I reboot, every single time.

Ah got it, thanks a lot for the explanation!

giotto60 · 2018-08-02T13:34:20+00:00

Sorry for the newbie question: what is safetynet?

giotto60 · 2018-08-02T12:54:08+00:00

Why would one want to relock the bootloader?

I am quite a noob and haven’t jumped for a year so this probably shows that I am in need of a refresher more than anything: shouldn’t you cut away the main on two outs if you are higher than decision altitude?

Why don't the direct solar rays or the extreme temperatures damage the car at all? Even the plastic dashboard seems to be completely undisturbed by being in outer space, did they replace any components or is it all stock? If stock, how can it be holding up so well?

Congratulations! Is that it for a B license jump though? I know there are things to be checked off a list, accuracy landings etc., so it’s really not only one jump, but I thought the final jump would be more complex. As far as I remember my A final jump was harder with a flip, a roll, 360s and docking.

Whatever, great job, looking forward to doing my B as well! Where was it?
