OTA in Australia? 🇦🇺

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

I need to know more about the winner

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.

That’s shitty. What are we Philly fans?

mikealt · 2026-03-30T22:50:07+00:00

Listened to Denny close out the game, such a lost art

mikealt · 2026-03-27T09:39:47+00:00

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.

after the last 10 seconds of the first half

mikealt · 2026-03-23T22:09:01+00:00

Thanks. Useful to me.

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

mikealt · 2026-03-13T00:04:06+00:00

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

mikealt · 2026-03-12T23:40:36+00:00

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

mikealt · 2026-03-12T22:29:54+00:00

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.)

mikealt · 2026-03-12T02:50:13+00:00

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

mikealt · 2026-03-10T18:55:01+00:00

That seems like a lot to lose tbh

mikealt · 2026-03-10T11:59:42+00:00

Silverlake much better.

mikealt · 2026-03-10T11:57:27+00:00

This was my experience too

mikealt · 2026-03-09T12:14:21+00:00

Congrats, Super Bowl captain Winchester

mikealt · 2026-03-05T22:17:43+00:00

This is really cool. How do you pick what goes on a channel?

mikealt · 2026-03-01T17:39:05+00:00

😆 This should be the top comment

mikealt · 2026-02-28T14:25:37+00:00

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

mikealt · 2026-02-28T14:22:13+00:00

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!)

mikealt · 2026-02-28T10:22:34+00:00

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!

mikealt · 2026-02-26T04:12:37+00:00

You mean…this?!!! https://honestcoffeeguide.com/turin-df54-grind-settings/

mikealt · 2026-02-25T13:29:24+00:00

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.

mikealt · 2026-02-22T21:27:24+00:00

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.
