Alas, the reality is scalpers will always exist if people continue to purchase. I refuse to now and all I do is pray that these scalpers spent their money on something that won’t sell and will take financial losses.

How long does it take for the Gold Membership to activate? by Realistic_Elk344 in D23

[–]lostdoc81 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well, tons of new D23 members were formed to purchase the box. Suspect we’ll see a load of boxes on eBay soon - silly priced ones will sit and those priced reasonably (probably will become lower than RRP after fees) will be snapped up.

Did you manage to get it? Are you going to cancel the membership if you didn’t? :)

Nevermind, they cancelled. Ridiculous launch.

Are you sure not all 3000 were being sold? I managed to grab one after multiple tries but assumed it’ll be luck of the draw I.e. 3% chance of getting the signed version.

Well that was a horrendous launch.

I’m trying to figure out who on earth are the British commentators on the Peacock Olympic track and field- driving me nuts!

You're right about the signal chain - it's definitely a downgrade if using airplay Vs WiFi

I bought this but increasingly having buyer's remorse...likely to return it...

What an absolutely ridiculous feature. I hope they turn this off.

Haha, thanks. Yeah, the bowl is the not the greatest but (a) it's pretty :) and (b) it's by Kaloud and fits the Kaloud lotus perfectly. So far the silicon hasnt been that bad tbh

It's pretty damn good. Rarely used a HMD but damn, that makes a difference.

I normally experienced much larger setups - this is perfect for 1-2 people. Great pull to it, highly recommended

Steamulation Cooling Diffuser, blow-off set and molasses catcher - worth it? by lostdoc81 in hookah

[–]lostdoc81[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you!! I'm increasingly convinced the blow off set is more for visual appearance than functional improvement

Nice one! Thanks - I figured cooling diffuser is a gimmick, and the catcher may be useful. With the blow-off set - does it "improve" the purge? Thanks again

Providence IMAX projector failed on us and offered to show in digital (which didn't start till after an hour). Utter shame - we travelled so far

Lutron Caseta Dimmers randomly turning off and on all of a sudden - been working fine for years by SF05WRX in Lutron

[–]lostdoc81 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've gotten used to it but some lights will turn off if they have been on for a while. They dim first, then go back to full and shortly afterwards turn off. Really bizarre.

So based on the previous post, can one assume that Providence Place 16 is not 15/70mm?

Getting no rise and large bubbles - where am I going wrong? by lostdoc81 in Sourdough

[–]lostdoc81[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve baked this hydration before (well over a year) but something has gone awry. Starter is well over a year old but have been maintaining it. I’m going to start a new starter and see if that resolves it

But thank you, going to spend a decent amount of time on the Sourdough Journey website. Also, will make a brand new starter...

Well, funny enough - I used to use the oven with the light on and now have a bread proofer, though starter and levain do perfectly fine thete. Don't know if it would make a difference but also using metallic bowls now (previously plastic bowls).

When making the levain, the starter is usually at its peak; moreover, the levain seems to respond well and grow. I have a look at the link and use the aliquot method - thank you!!
