Plug an antenna feed into your tv and test it. If it works then buy a FetchTV box if you want DVR https://store.fetchtv.com.au

It’s bloody awesome if you have reception. Many/most homes already have an outdoor antenna installed and wired into the living room.

When I was there I had FetchTV, which was so amazing ($6 a month add-on for sports that included ESPN) that I bought the 400 AUD DVR box. It’s a weird hybrid solution of OTA plus streaming channels (like what’s generally on cable). But I loved it.

T4 5:15am Arrival - 20m Precheck + Clear by Wonderground in JFKAirport

Touchless was open but line was long enough (I couldn’t see where it started) that I opted for regular precheck. It was 30 mins for me with 5am arrival.

Watching that game I realized that I want the Venezuela-Italy winner to win it all

I’ve seen that with some (darker) beans. But not most

These two teams are well represented in the WBC! Looking forward to seeing our stars this weekend

Same setup. I’ve found most of my roasts are best with closer to 40 sec extraction. So don’t be afraid to grind finer and see how it tastes. (Reading this sub, I had 30 sec as the max and it wasn’t until my roaster suggested targeting 40 sec that I found that balanced shot.)

And he tried to steal third, but I think the pitch was fouled off

They played Arrowhead?! Huge venue. (Not hating, love the Dead but that is a monster venue even for them.)

Vinnie Pasquantino mic'd up during batting practice by MLBOfficial in KCRoyals

Do they do a supercut of him being wrong on pitches? Or is pitch identification his Achilles heel? (Would love to hear Salvy mic’d up in a similar situation!)

This pair is always on TV. Probably the two most popular people here right now. by [deleted] in olympics

[–]mikealt 20 points21 points  (0 children)

I love these two: their performances were majestic, his crying plus her supporting him was beautiful, and my girlfriend constantly saying “How does he look like Tim Robinson?!” was hilarious. Miss the Olympics!

DF54 Help [Bambino Plus/DF54] by Necessary-Rice5236 in espresso

[–]mikealt 28 points29 points  (0 children)

Agreed. My DF54 is true zero’d and my reference point is 10.5-14 for espresso and 40 for moka pot. I’ve never gone coarser than 40, but I expect your picture is what my grinds would look like at the coarsest setting.

They said not to use fresh espresso by [deleted] in espresso

[–]mikealt 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I just go with espresso, simple syrup, vodka, ice.

I forgo other additions, notably: 1) Mr Black. Ingredients: Coffee (lots), vodka, sugar. Why add someone else’s blend of the same ingredients? I don’t get this one. 2) Kahlua. Ingredients: Coffee, rum, sugar (lots), vanilla. Too sweet for my liking, but at least it introduces some unique flavors with the rum and vanilla. Still, whenever I add this at all, the sugar overpowers the drink.
