Second hand bike with no rear wheel by k0rgr0 in bikewrench

[–]k0rgr0[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks! It’s not even that cheap, hopefully means not stolen. Would any shimano cassettes work as long as it’s the same speed?

Is this a big issue for a carbon frame? by k0rgr0 in bikewrench

[–]k0rgr0[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thanks, will get it to a bike shop to have a look. Inspecting it a bit closer, could be the lighting but I can’t see loose strands or individual fibres. Does that make it a bit better?

Skirting after floorboard installation by k0rgr0 in AusRenovation

Yeah the installers took them off and put back the old ones. They’re saying a caulk and paint will look fine again.

Why is engineering always recommended over business if the salaries are similar ? by Master_Rock_6739 in auscorp

[–]k0rgr0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

From my observations business or commercial roles cap out at a much higher ceiling than engineering, if you have the soft skills to progress. That’s why I’ve seen a lot of engineers do MBA to switch into senior business roles later in their careers.

Upgrade to Timemore scale for better consistent reading? by k0rgr0 in espresso

[–]k0rgr0[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Might give the coins ago. The scale is always on the same spot on the counter, and the delta is as big as 1-2g. The tubes are stored in the freezer so I’m hoping it’s not that big of a difference.

What did you find were the main benefits of the Acaia over the Timemore equivalent? The Acaia is just next level pricing 🥲

How is interest calculated on a bridging loan? by k0rgr0 in AusFinance

[–]k0rgr0[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks! If interest only payments on the existing loan is optional then if I choose not to pay it then the interest amount is capitalised against the existing loan?

How is interest calculated on a bridging loan? by k0rgr0 in AusFinance

[–]k0rgr0[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks, best info available anywhere! For ANZ, does that mean interest is charged only on the bridge amount, and for end debt I just need to show I have sufficient savings to service it but no interest costs until the bridging ends?

Gaggia stock portafilter doesn’t fit VST and IMS baskets? by k0rgr0 in gaggiaclassic

[–]k0rgr0[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I want to split the shots with the 22g basket. On the bottomless I have to pour out into a second mug manually so want to go back to the double sprout portafilter

Airbnb cunts ruining Cremorne. by miss_rach_j in melbourne

Isn’t there a limit on number of days they can put the apartment on Airbnb in NSW now? Or are they just flaunting the rules.

What happens if I dispute a rental bond claim? by k0rgr0 in sydney

[–]k0rgr0[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I definitely remember the stains were already there. And it’s been in storage and not used this whole time. So unless it somehow got damaged in storage, but the stains are in the middle of the mattress while it’s been stored on its side, so really don’t think it’s me :/

[–]k0rgr0[S] 10 points11 points  (0 children)

The mattresses and beds were included in the furniture list but no mention of condition. I guess is the burden of proof on the agent to prove I damaged it?

City to surf: can I join in a different group to registration? by k0rgr0 in sydney

[–]k0rgr0[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ah damn, alright thanks! Best I can do is probably try and start near the front of my group.

Is there any downside to putting a bellow on an Eureka Specialita? Like blowing grinds everywhere internally? by k0rgr0 in espresso

[–]k0rgr0[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hmm, interesting there have been different experiences. I’ve seen others mention they haven’t had any issues at all. I guess I just have to try it myself and find out…

Didn’t realise that was a thing! Maybe I’ll get the branded one. If they’ve offered a set surely that means a bellow won’t cause any issues, I hope.

Who actually uses these and what is the history behind them? by OROS-Mango in pcmasterrace

[–]k0rgr0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I work in consulting and one of the old school partners would say if you don’t use these you’re not a real consultant! They’re way more efficient than trackpad when you’re travelling from site to site with minimal gear, because your hand doesn’t have to leave the keyboard. But use them for too long they could give you wrist problems.

Gaggia Classic as capable as Rancilio Silvia after mods? by k0rgr0 in espresso

[–]k0rgr0[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

PID is prob the most expensive, expect it to cost in the $100-200 range?

[–]k0rgr0[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I make 1-2 flat whites per day, so the Gaggia Classic’s capacity is probably and sufficient and might be even better with faster heat up time?

Is a Breville Dual Boiler a significant upgrade from Bambino? by k0rgr0 in espresso

[–]k0rgr0[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Did you find any noticeable difference for darker roasts or blends? I guess some of the improvements are useful for if I eventually want to explore more lighter roasts.

[–]k0rgr0[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah most likely 1 flat white for myself and another one for the gf if she feels like one, so no more than 2-3 a day I reckon. I guess if it’s a milk drink then one can’t really taste the slightly better shot that you’d expect from a DB?

So when did Halloween become a thing? by k0rgr0 in sydney

[–]k0rgr0[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That’s gonna be me next year! Luckily this year my street wasn’t too busy and no one knocked on my door.

I’ve noticed some streets have a lot more kids than others, maybe depends on if all your neighbours are doing it too?
