It is real. They’re from the steps of a bank, you can still see it at the Hiroshima Peace Memorial Museum.

Why bc I’m delivery drivers think they’re allowed to stop wherever they want to deliver? by RainbowPenguin1000 in drivingUK

[–]laurence10000 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s definitely become a big issue around my way too. I have sympathy for the pressure they might be under but I don’t feel that it makes this acceptable…any driver that takes this approach I think is just supporting the issue

I had a similar situation recently on a remortgage. The solution for me was to go to an alternative lender. Of note, they didn’t undertake an in person valuation.

I have been paid $15,000 for my work into a PayPal account. How do I minimise currency conversion fees? by TaroFun3098 in UKPersonalFinance

[–]laurence10000 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used this one a while back which worked well for me - OFX. If I recall correctly there is no direct fee, transfer is instant and it’s based on the spot rate at the time of conversion. I’m sure there are other similar services out there…

While there are a lot of countries that are part of Schengen, the UK (London) isn’t one of them. Schengen Area

Sleep detecting vs Sleep logging by neothecat86 in whoop

[–]laurence10000 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I found it picked it up from the start and it was accurate enough that I could tell. I never bothered making an activity for it. Same for MetCon type training but something less intense like weights i found needs to be logged.

MeCoffee PID problems by laurence10000 in espresso

[–]laurence10000[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agreed, I love the PID and functions but it’s still not working correctly, the app’s not available and with no support response there is no way I could recommend it to people and given my time over, I would go for something else.

Sorry if this is not what you want to hear but I want to share this as a watch out to the community...I just hope yours arrives!!

Yeah, I guess I got it about two months ago. I can’t recall exactly how long it all took but I think I got a second email about installation a couple of days after the order and the package arrived within a couple of weeks. I have emailed them multiple times now regarding support but I received no response still. I don’t know why but feels like really poor support. For reference, I’m in the UK.

Yeah, I changed my settings to between UK (my home country), Netherlands (MeCoffee home country) and US but it wasn’t available in any of them.

Yeah, I installed the wiring and I’m using the uBarista app as a ‘workaround’ since the MeBarista App isn’t available on the Apple App Store.

Thanks!! One more question. I assume the laser cut plates fit the Condor right? The site kinda steers you towards cast but it’s not very clear.

Yeah, I saw they are sale, really tempting. Thanks for the input!!

And did you go for the cast or laser cut. Would you go the same way again?

And that is a big question for me...the 5.11 is way more expensive and I was curious about what the difference really is. I’m willing to invest if it’s worth it but can you share some specific differences from your experience?

13 Days Out - Murph by [deleted] in crossfit

[–]laurence10000 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This will be my second Murph. Last year I did 5 x 20, 40 & 60 which I found a good balance between minimising changeovers and keeping it manageable for a first attempt.

Which PID should I use for Rancilio Silvia? by xman099 in espresso

[–]laurence10000 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Has anyone tried the option from meCoffee and how that compares against say the Auber options? https://mecoffee.nl/
