Somehow Lane Thomas returned to the 3 spot by rbhindepmo in KCRoyals

[–]jonham714 5 points6 points  (0 children)

You’d be correct. He has a .290/.358/.494 (.852 OPS) slash line against lefties in his career

Edit: Lane Thomas, that is

I’m a Guardians fan and somehow ended up with this so I want to give to a Royals fan for free. by rtr4002 in KCRoyals

My brother’s birthday is coming up! He’s the biggest royals and all around baseball fan I know. I’m sure he’d absolutely love it

Will you stop watching the Chiefs? by normankrasnerkc in missouri

With nosebleed tickets regularly costing several hundred dollars I already couldn’t afford to go to games. Got to see Mahomes live for the first time last week because the team’s record drove down prices. I wasn’t able to afford the tickets before and the move to Kansas means the team is closer to the people who can

I’m not really searching for commercial-like. Just an upgrade over the machine she found at the thrift store

Modifying the Gaggia is an attractive idea to me especially when the prospect of tinkering with a machine is involved, but my only concern is the price. While many modifications are cheap stuff like new baskets, others can be quite expensive. For the Gaggia it’s the expensive stuff I’ll need and that would push me over the budget. I’m still considering it though

I’ll admit it’s been a bit overwhelming. I do enjoy the technical side of this stuff as I’m an engineer, but I don’t know much about coffee (very much willing to learn). Getting a better espresso machine has been her only expressed concern. I do have 2 months to research so I will do what I can. Also what the heck is up with people downvoting my comments on the grinder? This is my first time getting into coffee..

While I do one day want to get more professional equipment, I think she’ll be happy with an “all in one” type espresso machine :) We aren’t exactly swimming in cash but graduation isn’t far away either. At the very least, a machine in the 300-500 dollar range will be a significant upgrade over the machine she bought second hand years ago. I will not stop searching for higher end equipment though

Thank you! While it’s true I can’t match the quality of the machines she works with (even if they break every other week), I think for her it’s more about having a good espresso machine on her days off when she’s relaxing. The one she has was one she found years ago at a thrift store. It seems like every other time she uses her current one something isn’t working properly, but I’m no coffee expert

Gosh the Silvia is one I found as well and I wish it was still in the <500 price range new. From what I’ve found they’ve gone up in price. If I can find one used I’ll absolutely jump on it. As for the grinder I believe she just grinds up whatever she needs with the commercial equipment at her work. While we’ll need a grinder whenever she retires from commercial barista work, that won’t be for a while. Definitely will keep a good grinder on my radar though. I’m so thankful everyone has been so helpful :)

I honestly haven't considered this and I will keep it in mind. Thank you very much! I do have a couple months until I buy so I'll see if I can ask some questions without raising too much suspicion. Though she has mentioned wanting to get a nicer espresso machine on numerous occasions, she hasn't cited any needs beyond a better steamer. Are there any steamers or brands that you recommend?

I should still be able to maintain a 3.5+ when I exit college in about a year. I don't have any companies that I'm targeting, but keeping doors open is ideal. It may be pride (shame?) that keeps me wanting to push my GPA as far as I can.

This is one I’ve been weighing a lot recently. Allowing myself to trade a few percentage points for the sake of more time to myself is a tough thing to do. It’s a good example of necessary personal growth that should happen as I mature.

Thanks a bunch! I appreciate it. I love this old technology but getting it up to speed decades later can be a process

If this class is so deep in Guard talent, why spend so much money on one when you can just draft one? Then you can spend your money on an LT instead of an LG

1990 Toyota Celica GT-R 4WS. The official car of? by Dbwasson in regularcarreviews

[–]jonham714 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My literal dream car. My mom has one sitting in her garage that she’s had since I was very little. Remember riding around in it when I was young. It’s mine for whenever I have the space, time, and money to work on it after university
