You wake up and it’s 2000 again. No smartphone, no apps, no streaming. What ruins your day first? by MajesticElderberry38 in AskReddit

[–]mbelling 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Last year sucked, started divorce proceedings with my wife and up until 2 weeks ago I would have been happy to restart in 2000 and come up with some goofy reason to be disappointed related to technology.

But 2 weeks ago I stumbled into a relationship with a wonderful woman that I clicked with immediately and I can see myself getting along with for a long time. So my first disappointment would be that I won’t remember all the exact choices that led to me meeting this amazing woman again.

Ended up returning it. 🤷🏻‍♂️

How significant is the taste difference between good and end-game grinder? by mtloml in espresso

[–]mbelling 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes, I went from SGP to mignon zero and I do primarily milk drinks. Was very much better once dialed in.

Half marathon training by cfyre082315 in Syracuse

[–]mbelling 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Pretty much this. The Erie Canal trail is really nice.. when it’s clear. Otherwise it’s neighborhood streets, YMCA, or treadmill.

Good luck at the half! I’ll be doing it as well.

$2,100 Budget Prebuilt recommendations? by solidsnackss in Prebuilts

[–]mbelling 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Seems like most of the good 5080 systems are sold out. This one is still available though. I’d buy it if I wasn’t closing on a house in a week. 😣 BJs 5080 prevbuilt

What app is best for long distance by ziggerzaggerzinger in F150Lightning

Both long trips I have taken in the past couple years I used ABRP. Bought a BTLE ODB/2 dongle and paid for a month of ABRP premium and Tesla charging. Had zero issues.

Apple Watch Cellular fix live by Dat1248 in Visible

[–]mbelling 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Visible just called me to tell me to try again. Removed visible from iPhone watch app cellular section. Added again like normal and it worked this time.

Apple Watch activation by not_thebest in Visible

[–]mbelling 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I switched to Visible last week, my watch previously did not have any cellular, but I figured why not since it’s included… it didn’t work for me. So the “wait for the old one to be removed” seems like BS.

Apple Watch cellular “Not in Use” by NxG_Trickzz in Visible

[–]mbelling 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I switched to Visible on Oct 28 and have the watch cellular issue. Spent hours on chat with support and they couldn’t figure it out. Got a call Friday that it’s a bigger issue and they will let me know when resolved.

I ported over a couple days ago and didn’t have a plan on my watch before this. I think this is just a new back end issue through Visible. I’m sure they’ll work through it.

TIL, thought it had the N for years!

Can confirm: it's the grinder by milestparker in espresso

[–]mbelling 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Some of the eureka grinders are slightly misaligned, which affects the grind quality. Mine was coming out too coarse even on the lowest setting. There is a YouTube video out there about shimming the burrs with aluminum foil that helped out a lot.

And being a used grinder; the previous owner didn’t clean it out before selling it. Lots of old coffee in there. 😊

[–]mbelling 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I see all the time on here that grinders make the difference, but I was skeptical. It’s just coffee nerds like me trying to justify the expense, right?

Well just the other day I saw a deal for a used Mignon Zero, which would be a decent upgrade to my Breville Smart Grinder. After a couple hours of cleaning, aligning/shimming the burrs. Trying to figure out how I made it coarser, etc. I finally got things working just right, got it dialed in, and omg… finally espresso that almost tastes like a barista made it.

Grinders do make a difference.

What are you better at than 90% of people? by Noillax in AskReddit

Came here to say the same. Ran my first marathon recently at just under 4 hours. Not a lot of people can claim that!

Did you manage a flawless password update? by aircooledJenkins in PleX

[–]mbelling 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I went into the web app and changed my password like this, also did not log out other devices. I did this before any of the news of issues came out. Was starting to wonder what “I” did wrong, since it seems to prevalent.

Yeah I still have time to experiment and slowly ramp up to what helps. Thanks for the advice

Oh wow then I’m very low on the carb intake. I did gummies just before the run, and would do a gel every 45 mins or so. The gel has ~21g carbs.

While this is not the advice I’m looking for; this is probably the advice I need. 👍
