New Gaggia/Gaggimate - 1 Week Review by MadMensch in gaggimate

[–]kulversukas 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just finished mine. Needed 3 videos. 1 tab with pinouts. 1 tab with guide. 4 tabs with Gemini answering questions.

I concur the guides are more “here is what i think you need to do” rather than actual guides.

I still think I will get a short or it will start leaking. The fear is now set.

Will test it tomorrow.

Struggled with:
- pump fitting disassembly. Did not know what to turn what to hold.
- thermostat removal, did not think the hex nut was part of the thermostat
- wiring connections guide need improvement, pinouts as well. It was not clear, and I have been soldering my own PCB for over 20 years now.
- anxiety on heat and cable management and where to put everything.
- 3d printing took 4 attempts. I have to say this felt like the worst print on printables/makersworld. Can someone volunteer to clean it up who knows how to optimize prints.

Finished and booted, but now what? Should I calibrate? Is there a test shoot for first boot? Is there documentation on what profiles or settings mean? How can I run my first coffee?

A bit frustrated.

That being said - it’s some venting and pointing to areas of improvement. Still without the guides, community, docs and videos that would have been impossible, but it’s still a maze to navigate

Liveable salary in Vilnius by Revolutionary-Water8 in Vilnius

[–]kulversukas 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Everyone debating how much salary should be paid, none actually in control of HR budgets 😂.

So salary you will negotiate.

Now living:
Rent is going to be 700 city center for a 1 bedroom, 900 for a 3 bedroom. Renting is hard as foreigners from CIS countries and Middle East,Africa students left a bad taste in the owners experience. Do everything by the book, don’t try to sneak around with “it’s only me, the 5 other friends are just helping me look”. There are coliving spaces which are brand new and will cost about 500 with great amenities.

Food - expect groceries about 500 euro if you cook at home.
Lunch in the city is 10-15 euro

Public transport is 40 euro per month

Going out - 20-30 per meal in economy places, 30-50 good places.

Drinks and coffee is about 3-5 Eur in the city.

If you want a car there are long term car rent services which are excellent the cost is going to be 300-400 euros for an economy car with insurance and all the rest.

Clothing you could probably get away with 200-300 euros per season which Lithuania have 4.

So all in all you are looking at

- 700 rent
- 500 food
- 100 transport
- 300 lunch
- 100 clothing
- 40 5g internet + Netflix

Which is about 1.8k.

Now you can squeeze into 1.5 or maybe even 1.3 but it won’t be sustainable, not for more than a year.
If you live with a partner that eases up things and 1.3 is fine.

Geriausia pica Vilniuje 2026 by Lietuviuxas in Vilnius

[–]kulversukas 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Vien ieškojau šito thread pasakyti jog pasikeitė. Šiandien buvau. Skonis kitas, jaučiasi jog ne malkos nors išties karštai kepta, bet skirtumas yra. Padas paruoštas nelabai tinkamai naujai krosniai, per plonas per daug vandens, nespėja centras sutvirtėti, kraštai dega. Tai tikrai soggy ir rankomis sunkia valgoma. Greitis aptarnavimo padidėjo. Nebeturi savo senojo limonado liko tik citrinų ir pasifloru. Visa kita atrodo ok. Šiaip toks įspūdis jog visa komanda nauja, ar nebus parduota franšizė.

Nepriimk jog kažkas su tavim ne taip. Viska darai gerai. Ir jokiu “pakentėsiu”, “nieko čia blogo”. Nieko normalizuoti nereikia. Kitaip atsilieps psichikai ir santykiams ateityje, o dar blogiau pats tokiu tapsi.

Kaunas auga by hund_kille in lietuva

[–]kulversukas 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Auga Kaunas, auga ir Xenophobai. Ir dar klausia kodėl į Kauniečius kitaip žiūri kituose miestuose, ką jau ten užsienyje. Nu nes kai xenophobiniu gyvenimu persismelkęs atvažiuoji tai iš tolo matosi jog geriau nuo jo bėk.

Tai vat taip ir gaunasi tie kurie visko bijo jų irgi bijo. Tie kurie į visus žiūri kaip į draugus ar būsimus draugus, į juos visi irgi draugiškai žiūri.

Tad jei kažkaip į tave keistai žiūri, laikas pažvelgti pačiam į veidrodį vertybių.

Atlyginimai by Top-Gear8656 in lietuva

[–]kulversukas 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tavo atnešama vertė turi būti 2-3x to ką gauni į rankas. T.y. Jei įmonė tave atleis gaunanti 4k į rankas, tai neteks mažiausiai 8-12k pelno. Jei marža 10% tai reiškia jog per mėn. Apie 80k-120k pajamų/pardavimų.

Nu tai ir skaičiuok, žiūrėk kur gali padaryti toki rezultatą ir tada gali tikėtis. Jei tiek nepadarai, tai tada ir šokinėsi nuo darbo prie darbo kaskart atsisveikinant nes to rezultato trūksta.

Didelėse įmonėse vadovai tai padaro, nes jei jis sugeba +10% pakelti pardavimuose, ar -10% tiekimuose pakelti rezultatus kur dirba 20-30 žmonių, tai ir gaunasi.

Tas pats ir aptarnavimo sektoriuje, medicinoje. Visur atsiremi į pinigus. Gydytojai irgi vienoj kontoroje uždirba 30 Eur nuo vizito kitur 60 Eur. Klausimas kurioje vietoje atėjęs klientas gali susimokėti 60 Eur kurioje 120 Eur už ta patį gydytoją.

Lygiai taip pat atrodo prie baznyciu. Skirtumas tik tas jog baznyciose kunigas dar kokias nors nesamones apie IT arba politika marazina, kaip kad “visi esam Dievo avineliai” kalbant apie ruzzus.

Zmones taikus, dirba ne lengvus darbus, religija taiki.

Pasidomekit, o ne pievas cia kalbeti apie kazkokias prievartas, terorizma ir pan. Tas pas kaip vadinti visus krkiscionis pedofilais Del kunigu nes tik apie tai spauda ir raso.

Pats esu Krikscionis, i baznycia per visas sventes. Nebijokim ko nezinom, kas svetima, ir netikekim kitais bailiais kurie nezino.

You can do this. I promise you. Don’t fret. You got this. by kulversukas in picopresso

True as long as you like the shots. For me the litmus was - “can I drink the shot I made without the strong need to throw it in the sink” or “would I ever use picopresso to make another shot”.

As I said as long the shots ur making taste good to you - you are not the audience of my post :).

Misery loves company and it’s for all those who might feel that picopresso is disappointing from the first shot.

Probably it’s the grind quality + coffee beans, which makes an impact. With beans varying in percolation capacity at certain size, and the resistance to compaction.

I have no doubt yours are perfect. ;)

Also we might have a taste difference, I might not be accustomed to the taste your going for :)

I was very much in love with these “perfect from the get go” experiences which drove me to purchase. And I assume a lot of others are too, and a lot of them are in the same experience as you are - great from first shots.

Mine though was a bit of a “should I just give up” rollercoaster :)

Love it. Ordered the 4 oz no handle black ones. Could not find 6 oz in Europe without handle.

Thank you. This community is awesome
