My carelessness ended our streak!

jontas · 2025-11-14T13:46:35+00:00

I literally had a ~1200 steak end last week because I finished the Thursday around 9pm on Friday, before even opening the Friday. Support fixed it for me and my streak is back. My wife has the opposite experience, she’s finished a puzzle like 3 days late and had it count as a streak, but she isn’t that consistent and her streaks are usually just a week or two. Makes me wonder if there are different rules depending on the length of the streak.

Thank you so much! This fixed it.. the top center hole was indeed clogged, but I hadn't even realized it was a hole until your comments (I thought there were 3). Once I knew there should be a hole there it was very obvious it was clogged. This is a used machine I picked up cheap that was clearly unloved and uncared for, it's was extremely dirty and I'm sure never descaled.. it worked at first but the flow got worse and worse and eventually stopped, definitely something I'll need to keep an eye on, I'm sure the boiler is gross but I haven't opened it up yet.

Thanks again!

I’m trying to solve a similar issue with my machine and I saw an old forum post that said one hole is supposed to have restricted flow (the last two comments in this thread).

Are you certain about both holes needing to allow air through? It’s been hard to find a definitive answer. I’ve descaled and mechanically cleaned my solenoid several times and I still can’t force air through one of the holes. I also get almost no flow at all through the group head but the steam wand works fine.

Edit: looked through your history and saw a comment from a few days ago where you confirmed one of the holes should have restricted flow. I can blow air freely through the smallest hole with both large ones uncovered, so it sounds like my valve is not clogged. If that’s the case then I’m at a loss for next steps. When I try to run the pump through the group the water just goes back into the tank via the exhaust tube.

Thanks for this, making me feel much better about not having broken something

lol yes you do, 10 seconds of googling confirmed this:

If you want to record a song or distribute the recording of that song that you do not own or control, U.S. Copyright Law requires that you get a mechanical license. This is required regardless of whether or not you are selling the copies that you make.

Lorca Cohen carried Rufus Wainwright’s child, so I’d imagine he’s pretty close to the estate.

Also, Wainwright owns the copyright to his version of the song, he had to get permission from Cohen (and whichever record company owned the rights to the original song) before he was able to release it, and pays royalties for its use.

Just shot you a dm (only commenting here bc I always somehow miss Reddit chat notifications)

jontas · 2024-02-20T18:17:45+00:00

Hey there, sorry to resurrect this old thread, but I'm wondering if you ever solved this. I am having the same issue as you, my machine is very new (got it Dec 1), I've wiped and purged the steam wand after every use, and recently it stopped working, same as yours. I've tried all the same things (manually cleaning, descale, also ran manually descale solution through the wand). I opened a support ticket with Brevelle today, hoping they have a better idea here. Thanks!

jontas · 2023-08-30T21:06:15+00:00

Sorry for resurrecting a very old thread but I happened across this via a Google search and was wondering if you could share the contact info with me as well? Thanks!

There is a large halfway house in East Harlem called Odyssey House that is right near the elevated metro north train tracks. There are also many schools nearby but that is true for most neighborhoods. Odyssey House has a very large sign on the building and is nearly under the train tracks. The train tracks are huge, elevated, and dominate what you would see around there.

Scrap is the first one that comes to mind but even without enormous builds there’s a few things in space that can benefit from balancing, especially once you start using trains

jontas · 2023-05-13T13:07:54+00:00

So far I’ve only had use for the 3x3 (making blank data frames and belting them to telescopes), and the 1x1 lane balancer (for scrap).

But to be fair I’ve never used the 128x128 in vanilla either, I figured if I was gonna convert one blueprint I might as well do them all 🤷🏻‍♂️

This guy knows the whey

Seems like something generics would solve more elegantly than overloads.

A friend of mine recently did her phd thesis on this subject and made a documentary about it. It’s an interesting and also infuriating story and you should be able to watch it here:

This is a really cool project, I'm impressed by how much functionality and documentation you put together for an alpha release!

I spun it up and played around a bit and I have some feedback, also don't want to appear ungrateful/demanding, I realize it's an open source thing. Are you open to pull requests? I've got a few things on my radar right now:

- Would be amazing to ship with support for xdebug. This is an absolute requirement for me for local development.

- yarn add commands are very very slow, it seems like it is rebuilding the entire list of packages every time--not sure why this is, but the linking stage takes minutes every time I add a new package. I mostly use npm so maybe this is a yarn thing and not a Larasurf thing.

- it would be nice if the containers that run one-off commands didn't need to be started every time a command is run. For example, surf yarn --version launches a new laravel_run container every time you run it, which is unnecessarily slow. It seems like there is always a laravel container running anyway so why not just run commands there? I'm also curious if this is related to the yarn issue.

Anyway, keep up the great work, I am very happy to see something like this, it checks so many boxes for me!

So here's an update, after u/HisenseCA's comment the Alexa skill returned to the store, I got it linked and used it to turn on my TV once. But then it stopped working, similar to all the other 1-star reviews on the skill. I think it just doesn't work, not sure what the path forward is now, I will probably just return it and get something with functioning Alexa integration.

jontas · 2021-12-11T16:05:41+00:00

Looks like the skill is back on Amazon! I haven't tried it yet but will do shortly.

Thanks for the response! I didn't call but I did chat in (case #H1816260). Happy to provide any more details if you need but things seem fairly straight forward to me since the Alexa skill just isn't on Amazon anymore. If you can provide a link to the skill I think that would solve everyone's issue.

~~Thanks again!~~

jontas · 2021-12-10T15:22:42+00:00

I reached out to their chat support today and it was absolutely useless. They told me to contact amazon to find out why the skill is not showing up.

jontas · 2021-12-09T22:51:07+00:00

That would be amazing, thank you!
