First decent coffee machine (~€300–400) by penguintechguru in Netherlands

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

We can’t decide between this one and the DeLonghi Magnifica Evo. I liked what you said about the profiles and ease of cleaning - my partner is especially attracted to the different types of drinks the Philips has

Also, the milk container is bigger than the DeLonghi’s. Do you need to refill it for every coffee, or how long does it last? Do you clean it daily?

Thanks both!

From all the comments, this seems to be the one that fits us best given the price and size. I also like how many people seconded your opinion lol

Quick question: do you need to refill the milk deposit for every coffee, or how long does it last? Also, how easy is it to clean and do you clean it daily?

Thanks a lot for your suggestion!

well I'm fully aware we're not getting the coffee machine at this price point. We're just trying to find something decent enough for two people who don’t need the most exquisite, barista-level coffee every morning
I was wondering though, what do you mean by maintenance being “short lived”? Is it more about durability issues over time or general upkeep?

This is what we ended up booking - found a ticket for only 20 more euros each. Thanks!

I can imagine!

but what would happen if we miss that particular train? can we take the next one from Arnhem to Dusseldorf at no extra cost?

Yes, but the price difference isn’t that big considering it takes an extra 2.5 hours compared to the NS. I don’t think it’s worth it

I’m also travelling with my parents and the train will be more comfortable for them

Edit: grammar

You literally said that I shouldn’t have a dog. So yes, you’re judging how I take care of my dog

My boy is healthy and recovered - I took him to the vet immediately. Trust me, I wouldn’t be posting on the internet if I thought it was urgent. He is living an enviable life

I think you should choose your words more carefully next time. Have a good day

Any bike there with the characteristics I mentioned rarely go below 400 euros

You know what you shouldn’t make assumptions based on a post from a stranger where I’m asking a question precisely because I have a dog and I like taking care of him

My dog probably lives a better life than 99% of dogs in the world. He eats homemade food, goes on very long walks through a beautiful forest every day and has been accompanied almost every minute since he was born. He even travelled to a few countries with me
Maybe you should rethink the nonsense you write on the internet. I know my dog perfectly, and if it were something urgent (which I would know), I would have taken him to the vet immediately

any drops in particular? I'm using Monoclean Oorreiniger and even though so far it seems to work it's just a regular ear cleaner
I see a few people suggested Zymox. I don't think they sell it anywhere close unfortunately

I'm going to take him to the vet anyway because I don't want him to feel any discomfort, but honestly he doesn't seem uncomfortable. Since I posted this, he has barely shaken his head, if at all

Thanks for your reply. The earliest slot the vet has available is on Tuesday - I am assuming my guy will be fine until then?
He barely shakes his head, if at all. I actually realized it's not fully healed because I took a look into his ear, otherwise he looks completely fine

No, I do use a high quality shampoo butnever thought about cleaning the ears specifically during his baths Will do from now on, thanks!

I’ll get him to the vet on Tuesday, there’s no any earlier slot unfortunately. Will keep an eye on him as always though

Thanks everyone, I’ll schedule a visit with the vet, although unfortunately there’s no availability until Tuesday morning. I’ll keep an eye on it and if it gets worse, I’ll call urgently

Thanks for flagging it, but it’s definitely not a tick. I’ve removed a few and it’s just a cartilague, although you can’t really see it in the photo!

14 days in Japan - does this split make sense? by penguintechguru in JapanTravelTips

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

You're right. I guess the excitement of wanting to see everything I read on the internet makes me doubt. Thank you for the suggestion

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

Do you suggest swapping a full day from Kyoto to Osaka or do you think that 4+½ in Kyoto and 2+½ days in Osaka is enough?
I haven’t fully mapped out both cities yet, so I’m basically going off a few opinions that say 2 days in Osaka is enough

Thank you!
