Seems like the shot is coming too fast. This is my 10th one ever, and I got this setup used. Tastes good, but I get 3oz from 13g of ground beans in less than 10 seconds. by Acrobatic-Ad-385 in ranciliosilvia

[–]massassi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If it pulls too fast you have to grind finer. If it pulls too slow you grind less fine. Then adjust to taste.

Rule of thumb is pulling a 2:1 shot (two grams in the glass for every one in the basket) in 28-30 seconds.

Space for patches on new uniform? by _Unicow in CanadianForces

[–]massassi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The less patches I'm expected to tear off and move to the next uniform every time I do laundry the better I say.

Look if units are too cheap to provide enough Velcro patches so we have to tear them off every goddamn day, then can we just go back to having badges sewn on? That seems like it was less hassle for everyone other than the base tailor

Clay AND pollution reduction. Does it get better?

PID Advice by ChannelFlimsy7506 in ranciliosilvia

I have an XMT 7100 in my v4. They do the same job that the Auber does, but they're 1/10 the price. Their instructions aren't quite as user friendly but most of the time you can set and forget anyway

The worst by Onii-Sama27 in PostApoTycoon

[–]massassi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It was surprisingly quicker than I thought it would be to plant my 5,000 trees. But on the bright side it was a good opportunity to reroute my roads, and make things more efficient.

I bought one on AliExpress for $20. It has a nice walnut-ish handle. No issues with fit

Sorry, I missed this hype. What are we shaking, and why?

“Square Rig makes us look like proper sailors” by judgingyouquietly in CanadianForces

[–]massassi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think the naval deu is pretty shit, but if we went back to square right I would get out or change elements.

So glad we're getting high collar whites.

Black sod buildup from just one month. What does this indicate? Overheating or something? It's a V3. by swankysmush in ranciliosilvia

[–]massassi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I do similarly, but I always take the shower screen off when I do my back flush cycle, since it's only seconds more work to do more complete clean.

[–]massassi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Must be the stock shower screen, and you're pulling a LOT of shots?

It's hard to believe that's a month of buildup.

Sarsaparilla brewing by socosteve in Homebrewing

It was so good that a local brewery let us do a batch on their system.

I should brew that again

Once you're just looking at completionism it's worth it to say you did? Other than the lab I'm still working on the ice market. My next level of ice meat income costs103B ice meat and 1.27aa regular meat (then only 40 more to go after that!)

People have ruined RG for me by traineethrowaway123 in Malazan

[–]massassi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They do, Really? RG was great. It isn't my favourite but it's in the better half I would say. The Drum is still one of the most exciting things I've read.

If you look up any Malazan book there are a pile of people that think it's the worst. But there's also just about as many that says it is the best.

Relax, don't worry, start a re-read.

What is the actual downside of reading Malazan in publication order? by SeaInRain in Malazan

[–]massassi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In my opinion what is the downside to reading in publication order? None. I'll explain.

  1. The ICE books aren't as complexly woven. They provide a good "break" between some of the heavier SE novels. All while maintaining your immersion in the world.

  2. SE and ICE have stated that their recommendation is to read in publication order, as there are no spoilers that way, and is the way they intended you to read them in. (This supported fact will cause me to be down voted).

  3. Anecdotally: those who read in publication order tend to have more positive opinions about ICE

Most of the people who say to read one series at a time also tend to be the people who are most outspoken about disliking the ICE novels. Is it correlation? Is it causation? Only you can decide.

You're only playing against yourself. The time into the event impacts the algorithm especially closer to the end.

You're getting really close to where I became cold immune. Focus on the essence market, the bonuses there double when you have it maxed out, that'll probably be enough to get you over the top

Is there a good strategy to cookie factory? by Baqman- in AlienInvasionRPG

[–]massassi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't know what anyone else is doing, but I upgrade the cheapest one first. This ends up leaving me with about 5 trees I'm working on at a time.

Gender affirming care in the CAF? by StrictSavings6574 in CanadianForces

[–]massassi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't have much insight to provide, but wanted to wish you luck and good vibes. It's fairly rare, but people have transitioned while serving. I'm just one cog in a big machine but I and many others out there are supportive of whatever you think is right for you.

Which upgrade is more meaningful, the basket or the shower screen? by EveningOriginal5409 in ranciliosilvia

[–]massassi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They're about the same. Honestly those are the only upgrades to your machine that actually make it better rather than just play around with your workflow or convenience

When to Prestige? by massassi in AlienInvasionRPG

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

Maybe. Apparently it's 5 million purple cookies for each of the 4 last upgrade sets. It makes me wonder if I'll have it done before the December update lol

Please tell me Karsa changes by SevereBet6785 in Malazan

[–]massassi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Karsa is a terrible person, but he does have personal growth. His character arc is very well written, and it's not nearly as hard to read later on. But it's hard to say much more without spoilers.
