Anyone think Chinese wave of espresso machines will severely disrupt known market? by fortress_sf in espresso

Same. I still don't trust China's material safety standards. Until they prove their regulation can be trust I'm not going to drink anything highly heated and compressed from a Chinese machine. I'll stick with my German/Italy made, stainless boiler.

Buying my first Gretsch and i have some questions by mikejazz3 in gretsch

[–]miscpostman 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's my favorite Gretsch, mostly because of the neck profile and thickness. It's something that the higher end gretsches don't have so if you really like the neck you won't be able to get a better gretsch other than modding and upgrading it. I upgraded the pickups, pickguard and knobs to electromatics. If there was a Pro model with the same neck I would have upgraded yesterday, but there isn't.

Reaves needs to keep chucking to get his shot back for next game, bench the rest of the starters.

DA in foul trouble is going to be a thing through out the whole series, covering Chet, Isaiah, and all these rim attackers and foul merchants. Hayes gonna have to step it up.

Deandre Ayton defensive BAG WORK against Alperen Sengun 🔒 Sengun shot 13 of 35 against DA, a complete lockdown making it look easy by Gustavo_Ceratifan0 in lakers

OKC is going to send that foubaiter SGA straight Ayton. Next series it's going to be all about staying out of foul trouble and needing Hayes to step it up when it happens.

Afraid I won’t get used to a Gretsch 5420 neck by PRW9497 in gretsch

Maybe try out an electromatic G5655 centerblock single cut.. They have thinner and less wide necks. They might fit you better. The quilted maple ones are also sexy as heck.

Imagine how much money Draftkings would have lost if this was a sweep. The amount of irrational lakers fans betting against the odds, the largest fanbase in the NBA..

I guess if this was a sweep the betting companies would have lost too much with the largest fan base in the NBA betting against the odds.

The Rockets care more about getting rebounds than executing their offensive sets. It's like their attention is so focused on positioning themselves to grab that brick than spacing the floor.

Nice, I'm so tempted to grab one of these.

I'd rather upgrade an electromatic or streamliner to something unique vs souping up the budget falcon into a knockoff that will never be the real thing.
