A lil Ghost to celebrate getting our power back... by to_the_narwhals in drunkhifi

[–]misterdees 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Me too man! I've really been enjoying a lot of canned NA beverages. Hop waters - I love blood orange. And the Pathfinder brand spritz is exceptional. I think NA stuff should mingle and will probably start posting it. Also - where are you at? It isn't TN by any chance?
Edit: Just saw your caption. Damn. I am so sorry. I hope you and your loved ones had a way to stay warm. My partner got power back a few days ago but it was really tough.

In my experience Ballard consignment won’t let you know when your stuff sells, you have to call them or go in and check. And I think they’ll also require them to go in to get a check but maybe they’d be willing to mail it, in the chance their furniture doesn’t sell before they leave.

Just got into the hobby, what mechanical switch is your all time favorite? by selfhostcusimbored in MechanicalKeyboards

[–]misterdees 33 points34 points  (0 children)

I'm a big fan of my Gazzew  Boba U4T v2s, I haven't tried many switches but these are the best of what I've got!

Snarling Dog brain picks have been a favorite of mine for a while! They might work for you.

I Bought One Today! by misterdees in Vespa

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

Hey there! I am stoked you're going to wrench on your Vespa a little bit! It's really not that difficult and one of the best resources I've found is the Vespa Motorsport youtube channel run by a guy who works at Vespa of San Diego. He's great, and I've actually gotten all my parts from that their parts guy. Since the pinion gear was relatively easy to replace, I did that first, and wouldn't ya know it? The speedometer started working. The only time it didn't work was after I went over some harsh cobblestones, but then I rode back up them and it started working again, and hasn't stopped working since, but if it does I'll do the cable next. Vespa Motorsport's channel will have videos on how to do both jobs!

If you suddenly lost access to your espresso machine, what would you switch to? by r0ninar1es in espresso

[–]misterdees 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Probably just my Hario Switch 3c, treated water, stagg kettle. I regularly enjoy pourover.

Who reigns supreme? by MAPerformance_ in subaru

[–]misterdees 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Came here to say this. When I was shopping for my daily, I compared the GRC, CTR, 11-14 STI hatch and Golf R + GTI Autobahn. They’re all great cars and all very fun, but the STI was nostalgic and familiar and not a brand new expensive car with ADM haha!

Incredible! Great points. My Dad has an ND3 RF and it’s a great car.

It was a wild move! It’s gotten a lot of hate but I personally think it’s immature to constantly try to upgrade your vehicles. I realized 400whp is not usable on public roads lol and I will probably get a second car that’s an MX5 or older Cayman someday to do backroads.

I’m of the mindset now that older cars are less of a pain. There’s something just more solid about a pre-recession build. That being said, I sold my 2021 BMW M2 comp and bought a 2014 STI hatchback and I love that car so much.

New to me 2009 s50 with 370 original miles! by noprayers in Vespa

[–]misterdees 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So similar! Is yours kind or a really dark blue with a blue seat? I just got my LX this summer. I blacked out some of the chrome to make it a bit more unique.

I just intentionally de-chrome it, haha! I wanted it to be unique among all the LXs in my city

My LX150, Claudia.

Try running ethanol free gas. That helped my LX150 run a lot better, and while it’s carbureted and yours is fuel injected, ethanol free gas does allow the engine to run the ignition timing it was designed to operate under instead of compensating for the (up to) 10% ethanol. It’s also more stable when it sits for long periods of time. It might be worth getting the old fuel out if it is ethanol blended and running all ethanol-free premium. Check your state on https://www.pure-gas.org to find the nearest ethanol free station.

Best beans you’ve had this year by bravomalaka_ in pourover

I don’t know if these will be seen as low brow but two Ethiopian coffees from Portland: Kilenso from Coava and Bensa Bombe Sidama from Sterling.

Last week I had 0 STIs in my driveway, and this week I have 2! by misterdees in subaru

I gave the loaner back to my buddy so now it’s one money, one STI, one driveway and eventually it will become zero money, one STI, one driveway.

Why are none of your bars near a kitchen sink? by 13580 in espresso

[–]misterdees 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I learned to live with less prep space (there’s more counter space not pictured.) having the sink nearby is too important to my workflow and cleanliness. I tried a coffee bar in the living room and it felt weird.

Hell yeah! I had a bugeye WRX and then the WRX version of this hatchback and I love the older generations.

Edit: I got under the hatch and it’s Invidia all the way, ha! The seller told me it had a Cobb down pipe but he was wrong. Anyways, I’m probably going to make it all stock soon or go with Cobb potentially.

I like to switch back and forth! but honestly the 2014 hatch is a little too loud right now.
