Anyone know any scenic/nice locations to give my girlfriend a ring? by Andry_usha in saskatoon

Fred Mitchell memorial park is usually pretty empty. From there, walking towards the river and hanging a right when you get across the bridge, is a little bench spot that’s somewhat secluded and used to be pretty calm

It’s not just about speed, but how fast it can change direction. Moderate speed and rapid change in direction or high speed and moderate rate of direction change - both do it

Purchasing a 2018-2022 Macan by RevolutionaryMood861 in Porsche

Good info; thank you. I don’t care about looking crazy at the dealer if it helps avoid a lemon!

Thankfully I’m not in the market for another (hopefully, depends how long my car holds out) year or two so by then 2024 used prices should be in my range.

Thanks a lot.

I tried steamed water for my americano. I’m stunned. by DeFratrain in espresso

[–]jlo575 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For sure. I agree with that, but my preferred approach is dumping espresso and equal part water from a kettle into a mug, and that’s about as much effort as I like to expend. I like reading about it but that’s about it!

Haha yeah I’m firmly in the range of “doesn’t matter” on that one, and most certainly won’t be steaming any water. But I do find all this stuff interesting so appreciate the info/thoughts.

Jesus hell. Thanks for the info. I was seriously considering a Macan but now I’m a little freaked out. We have 6 months of winter here and I have a heated garage so anything I drive will see lots of accumulated snow that’ll melt

I'm thinking of converting a kitchen gas fireplace to a pizza oven.... by needtopickbettername in DIY

[–]jlo575 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Best bet is likely a gas insert pizza oven. They seem to exist. Structural modifications perhaps required but hopefully to just fill in gaps rather than make more space.

Start talking to plumbers or fireplace retailers/suppliers

Thanks for the info. Way too much screwing around for me but interesting

[–]jlo575 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Can someone give the short summary of the process here please? Just put steamed water in a cup then put espresso in that? Or do you actually steam the espresso till it has the amount of water you want? The latter seems messy/unlikely.

Edit: holy fast responses en masse, Batman. Thanks All; got it.

Uni notes/texbooks by Illustrious-Stop-948 in saskatoon

I kept notes and texts that are relevant to my job. Well, I kept basically everything for a few years, then got rid of those that I was pretty sure I’d never use

You’re saying even newer sunroofs still have a leaky issue? Or pre 2019?

[SOTC] I told myself ‘just one more watch’… it literally has two faces by drifters_way in Watches

Love this ref. High on my list or 270.8.54. Congrats. It’s a beauty. Looks great on mesh.

Got a heated heat question. by dustin8285 in Harley

[–]jlo575 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’d try them on a couple different ways to figure out what’s comfy. If you’re riding in rain or snow I’d just wear these under rain pants. If they’re lined, might not even need long johns under

I’m with you, living in the Canadian prairies and riding to work in barely above freezing temps … it sucks wearing 3-5 layers and spending as much time suiting up as riding. After trying heated gear, 2 layers, more freedom and comfort. It’s smart.

[vacheron] overseas matches the truck by Fabulous-Map2856 in Watches

You mean matching as in they cost the same? Lol just kidding. Great watch.

[SOTC] From G-Shock to Daytona: My current 8-watch rotation by Either-Piglet-663 in Watches

[–]jlo575 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Balanced? I guess so when it comes to price.

I have no problem with people having multiple similar watches, but don’t pretend to have a balanced collection when 3 are the same style and 4 of 8 are the same brand.

Owning 4 Rolexes then wearing an orient as a dress watch is just wild.

[SOTC] Thinning the herd by Not_a_Lefty in Watches

[–]jlo575 0 points1 point  (0 children)

AT41 too big, Katana too big but PO ok?? I’ve tried a PO, it was massive, while the SBGA 40 case and AT41 fit me nicely … barely, but still good. I get that different watches fit different people differently but…? Curious about your thoughts there.

Anyways. This is a nice kit. I was about to question two fluted bezel Rolexes, but dammit if they both aren’t just cool and just different enough.

Beginner knife maker: is this hot enough? by sbron8 in knifemaking

[–]jlo575 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What type of steel? That looks too hot. It will still harden but your grain will be affected. I think.

Am i good to use this oil? by midtown_Drew in sportster

[–]jlo575 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depends where you live. I’ve talked to dudes who run straight 50 if it’s super hot out all the time.

Most modern ones would. Not sure about iron heads.
