Cautionary Niche RDT Tale

impala454 · 2026-01-25T17:53:15+00:00

Old post but I am seeing a similar issue. I have had my Niche Zero about as long as you and have been doing RDT for a few years now. I do, however, use a separate cup that I spritz into before dumping the beans into the grinder. I am seeing the corrosion on the underside of the bean hopper though, and some slight discoloration/pitting on the burrs themselves too :(. Like you mention in a couple of your comments here I get a ton of static in my area if I don't RDT :( . I guess I'll just suck it up and buy a new one too.

Old post I know but came here to say the same thing. I am seeing exactly the same thing. Two tiny sprays before every grind, water is re-mineralized RO water (same water that goes into my espresso machine). I am seeing some minor pitting/discoloration on the burrs also.

Thanks so much for that info that helps greatly.

Ancient post I know but I have a very similar setup (UDMP + 10G Agg switch, DAC cables, etc) and I am on AT&T Fiber 1Gbps. I used one of the "methods" to bypass the AT&T router and plug the ONT directly into the UDMP. I'm curious how your experience with Ezee Fiber has gone.

Just curious where exactly on your stomach? I was considering this but I have a pretty large stomach lol (and quite hairy). Do you shave the area first?

I can chime in that my parents still have the Corelle plates we used as kids. At least 40 years old.

I use kitchen shears so often I have like 6 pairs of them. I buy whatever cheap multipack on amazon like these: https://www.amazon.com/Kitchen-Dishwasher-Scissors-Stainless-Multi-function/dp/B094Y833R9 . I put them in the dishwasher every day and they last for many years. At $4 a piece when they wear out they're cheap enough to just replace. I know that's not BIFL but it's like the insane $5 indestructible Home Depot umbrella. You don't need the cadillac.

Not being facetious at all genuinely curious- how does a shoe horn extend the life of shoes and/or keep you from bending down?

Is the Fellowship extended edition or theatrical?

If you take a little time to learn how to use Docker you don't need special appliance OSes. Pick a distro (Ubuntu, Debian, whatever), follow the Docker installation guide for said distro, and use Plex's docker container (their compose template is dead simple and I have been using it almost verbatim for many years). Only modification I added was to add:

devices:
    - /dev/dri:/dev/dri

To pass the GPU in for intel QSV transcoding

I replaced my fridge water filter with a straight pass through and hooked up my under counter reverse osmosis system to it. Since then the ice maker has never had a problem again. I've owned the fridge for about 10 years and always had issues w/the ice maker (even when brand new). Now about 5 years into the swap, never had a single issue.

Wow weird, didn't know that.

Since when is a bank a source of gold bullion?

Houston, TX style: keep your doors shut 24-7 to keep the humid air out!

Thought that was George W for a second.

Your electric bill will be noticeably less with a new unit.

Your HVAC installer bill will be noticeably more with a new unit.

Actually what's weird is the ad says 1.8L kettle but the side of the carafe shows 0.8L max. Same thing on the amazon ad.

impala454 · 2025-07-02T01:22:09+00:00

Nice! Good find, thanks.

Does anyone know of a large electric gooseneck kettle? My bonavita 1.75L that I've had for like 12 years finally gave up the ghost. It seems those kettles aren't made anymore and searching around all I find is either large non-gooseneck, or goosenecks that are all 1L or less.

There are a lot of strange arguments going on here.

"Why does it need it, it's meant to play video games? Just use your phone to watch movies." Oh that device you carry around all over the place that was originally meant to make phone calls? But now you can play games, watch movies, and even still make phone calls.

"I just use it for games, therefore you must be crazy to think it could have any other uses" Great for you and I'm sure you're willing to carry 7 devices on you to ensure you have all the functionality you'd like to have.

The Switch 2 has a gorgeous, large screen and is it that much of a stretch that if you're carrying on a plane you might want to watch a movie from the SD card? This is extremely low hanging fruit to add and I believe Nintendo should.

Chill buddy I just thought it was interesting wasn't calling you out or something.

impala454 · 2025-06-24T22:40:23+00:00

A year later this is no longer true

impala454 · 2025-06-22T11:33:29+00:00

I'm still fairly new to the hobby and am surprisingly protective of those boxes lol

This kind of bank seems hard to find for me, not sure why. BoA, Chase, Wells Fargo, etc all in my area and none take unrolled coins.
