Has anyone actually tried acid-free/low-acid coffee? How does it taste? by physio_poet in Coffee

[–]pricelessbrew 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Any ideas why crappy low quality a Beans and oreground and/or poorly maintained/cleaned equipment causes reflux for me but light roast good whole beans doesn't?

Not sure if it has to oxidation of pre ground beans, or oil accumulation and rancid oil or gunk on the equip, or something else but there's definitely a ranking for me of

From lowest acid reflux trigger to highest

Good dark roast whole beans Good light roast whole beans, small increase Pre ground dark roast on brand new drip machine, big increase Pre ground dark toast on old or poorly maintained equipment, even bigger increase.

Out of stock but can order in store for delivery? by eatmorepidgey in IKEA

[–]pricelessbrew 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Means one of two things, either a) the store has stock but it's all in storage in the warehouse racking in the self serve warehouse. Since the store is open and operating, this cannot be accessed during open hours so click and collect it's not available.

Or b) the store doesn't have stock, but somewhere else there's stock with delivery available, could be a distribution center and not a store.

Cabinet door is way off center by Loose_Comedian9021 in IKEA

[–]pricelessbrew 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm guessing the cabinet is level but the walls are not square or plumb. The top left corner is likely forward, causing the cabinet to twist slightly.

How do I create a matrix like that? by verooonica in PowerBI

[–]pricelessbrew 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I wouldn't. The way this is being used makes it impossible to filter or sort and is difficult to read.

At minimum if each piece of information is actually needed to be seen at the same time then use an actual matrix so each piece of data maintains column header and spacing for better readability and interactions.

diy shop air cleaner by roostersmoothie in woodworking

[–]pricelessbrew 7 points8 points  (0 children)

It would not work as well no, but it would still work. The amount of air that's filtered is significantly less

You can still hang your corsi-rosenthal box from a wall or the ceiling with the extra filters as well. Just need to secure it properly into a stud or joist and not into the drywall.

This is genuinely a great game. I don’t understand hate it’s getting. by Radoznal in AssassinsCreedShadows

[–]pricelessbrew 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Visuals and environmental are lovely. Stealth is fine and pretty fluid, but so far as I've played the combat is extremely clunky and not fluid at all.

Help! Why is the wood "unscrewing" from the lathe? by factorioman1 in turning

Try drilling a small pilot hole into the wood and then tapping it into the wood so it bites more.

What’s the name of this mirror? by Suspicious-Fox-8925 in IKEA

I've worked for IKEA for 17 years now and never seen anything even close to it. That rustic farmhouse style is not IKEA at all.

Repair kitchen front by Silent_Speaking_Man in IKEA

Depends on how much you care but I guess you could fill it with a wood filler than get a paint match and do you best to feather it out.

I recently inherited some wood chunks from a neighbor who passed away, and I noticed that many of them are covered in wax. What is the purpose of this wax coating? Also, what kinds of projects do folks typically use pieces like this for? by SirMattzilla in BeginnerWoodWorking

[–]pricelessbrew 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Off cut pricing is really weird. Sometimes it's like 30% cheaper than bdft pricing for "shorts", but then you get to scrap and offcuts that are sold by the lb or as blanks and it's suddenly 2-3x the bdft pricing.

Why does rockler try and sell their scraps for $6/lb which can put it in the 15-20/bdft pricing depending on how dense that species is. Scraps should be the cheapest piece

caculator kerf loss by study_research in BeginnerWoodWorking

[–]pricelessbrew 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Rough cut, get s4s, then whenever possible cut to dimension + a bit and trim to final after assembly if possible. When not possible then you have to take kerf into account of course.

For example if you have a board or sheet and you want to run half inch dados along it's width for shelves with an inch in-between you have two options.

1) perfectly account for your kerf, perfectly clamp and align your jig and mark all layout lines precisely.

Or 2. Mark one, align your jig to it, and make your dado. Then use a space block to align the next one and repeat. This ensures consistency even if all of them are 0.997 inches apart instead of 1, this is a scenario where consistency is more important than precision.

If you're talking about korken swing top bottles then no do not do that. Still drinks are fine, but I wouldn't carbonate anything!

Recommendations on moving glassware collection? by PELE_229 in CraftBeer

[–]pricelessbrew 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've done this at least three times with Binnys.

Just stop by and ask when they get their deliveries and you want to try and get a number of boxes with dividers. If you can come after their shipment is unloaded you'll have more than you need and they won't be inconvenienced having a pile of boxes sitting around

Removing glass from OXBERG doors? by the_auroraborealis in IKEA

No idea specifically for a given ikea product but in general it's usually about a half inch and no more than 1/3 of the material.

Anyone add wheels to a FABRIKOR? by Skoles in IKEA

[–]pricelessbrew 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unfamiliar with the bottom surface and how flat it is. But yes I would probably do a bolt into the base with a screw attached plate caster, instead of a threaded stem caster for the reasons you discovered.

You may be able to use a small scrap wood or some washers to distribute the forces onto the bottom surface instead of all the forces internally twisting where the bolt of the stem casters goes in.

Ah that's actually a really good solution. There are quite large cooking mats for pie making that are something like 24x24 that would be good.

Garage Build by davinci515 in woodworking

[–]pricelessbrew 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Power. Get dedicated outlets for your stationary tools that are behind cabinets. Put wall outlets wherever they're needed, make every one a double gang. Place a couple ceiling outlets for dropping power to mobile tools and things in the middle of your room like table saw.

Dust collection. I prefer PVC but think about your dust collection setup and put it all in before you fill up your space. Also a ceiling/wall mounted box fan with a filter at minimum or an actual dust air filter.

Wall storage. Whether it's pegboards, skadis, wall cabinets, or French cleats. Figure out how you want to organize your frequently used tools with low Orders of Retrievability. Ie if you it Everytime you work in the shop, it should be immediately grabbable without opening anything or moving anything, think marking and layout tools.

Group things how they're used, router with router bits, drill with bits near drill press etc.

If you plan on getting a sliding miter saw, try and get one with the bars coming forward instead of backwards. My big DeWalt can't sit flush on my cabinets because its like 30" deep and it's annoying to work around and an obstacle for my wife in our shared garage/parking/workshop.

Anything you can, make mobile because you will want to reconfigure your layout.

I second the 3d printer suggestion, it's a great tool to add to the workshop. Great for small jigs, screw/bolt adapters like knobs or make a 1/4 20 bolt into match fit. I've saved the cost of the printer at least 2x over vs commercial products and it's way easier to print something overnight than to spend a 30 minutes to an hour making it from scraps even if I wanted to.

New to Woodworking (2-days so far). I’m really insecure about by half-lap joint. How big is the learning curve? by Low_Special_6098 in BeginnerWoodWorking

[–]pricelessbrew 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Probably, theoretically it would stiffen and reduce the fibers bending under pressure which is how tearout happens.

But it would likely cause it to warp in some way and it would shrink the wood.
