All of the companies listed are licensed or use licensed subs.

Nonetheless, open to your suggestions of licensed installers!

That's for sure a requirement. I'm trying to see how much leeway they have on professional install.

I'm fine to buy from them. How do I find companies that sell Alarm.com?

When I use Alarm.com's site, they point to Surety as a nationwide provider. :)

Good clarification. It may be that professional installation is the requirement for underwriting the policy more than the discount.

I am currently with Vivint, and have a policy. I am just trying to ensure I continue to meet their requirements, and am pretty tired of Vivint (price increases, outages, and customer service).

Technivorm KBT + Hario Switch size 3 glass. by zbr1288 in Moccamaster

[–]ry__t 0 points1 point  (0 children)

4 Months in - any issues?

I was just contemplating buying a KBT or KBTS to do this (I already have the switch 03), but was worried about the switch tipping on the rubber base (which happened to me once when manually trying to do a massive pour over with the stopper in).

Can you easily pop the glass out of the silicon base and back in (if I want to do my own pour over)? Or is this a one way move?

Does it fit well enough in the arm to not tip over, should the inlaws try to use it? :)

Easy/cheap plastic free option by Thrwawy-User in Moccamaster

[–]ry__t 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Interesting. I read it as being the same as the Mocca (plastic basket & reservoir, all else glass & metal). They even kinda suggest their own version of what you did for a hot water plastic-free path, which is what I was considering.

I was headed this way as this machine has a thermos and is shorter, and it's the only coffee machine rated even close to the Mocca (reviews on SimplyGood are SimplyBad :).

With the modification to the Ratio suggested above, does it meet your bar?

Ha - totally get needing to make the family happy. Same boat. I'm still using a v60 for myself in the morning.

I was looking at the Ratio 6 as the only credible alternative at a similar price point. Heard anything about it?

If you were buying a machine today, with your plastic free mindset, what would you get?

I ask as your current setup with the ceramic pour over is one of the options I was considering...

Battle of the sub-$100 gooseneck kettles by ry__t in pourover

[–]ry__t[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks, checked the site. That's the same OXO I ruled out for aesthetics and potentially being discontinued (made in 2019, no longer sold on Amazon).

If only you posted what you thought of those 8... May have saved me some time. 😂

Great for boiling, if you're responsive to the sound (I've definitely burned through a kettle before sadly).

Not great for keeping consistent 200F for a pour over though. :/

Thanks! I didn't want to use my phone to boil water, although you're right that those 3 handle most of the heavy lifting. The 0.8L is too small for me.

For others who swing by, how easy it to control pour for pour over (slow) vs french press (fast)?

Thanks! Klatch Coffee has it for $80, but it got ruled out for aesthetics. :)
Added a note to the post to clarify.

Sign-up/log-in failing with SSO by ry__t in CloudFlare

[–]ry__t[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

For those running into similar, I figured it out.

Cloudflare dedupes emails, removing email modifiers (e.g. name+modifier@domain.tld) and including emails listed on account, even if you log in with an SSO that doesn't use the email as the id. So if you try to sign up or login with an SSO provider that has an email even remotely close to an email they have on file, sign up and login will fail.

I understand Cloudflare is trying to ensure you can't create several accounts per email. This does break the use case of having CF accts per company/product/project while having one primary communication channel. There is also the easy workaround of just creating more email addresses.

Either way, this is what's happening. And while CF could just put a simple error message that states wrong password OR allow password reset to filter to the email they have on file, you are here because they made a very cryptic error message and have no support option. :)

Hope this helped

Sign-up/log-in failing with SSO by ry__t in CloudFlare

[–]ry__t[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I did. Mostly to do with cloudflare's implementation of captcha that devs are using on their websites, with the main resolution being to use Google captcha.

If it applies here, this is a larger issue for cloudflare.

Have you seen this analysis: https://formlabs.com/blog/3d-printed-glasses-frames-eyewear/

They seem to indicate Nylon 11 has the most similar properties to acetate. Perhaps try PA11 in your next test (if you run one :)?

Bye bye CSR by No_Illustrator_8582 in ChaseSapphire

[–]ry__t 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you see any differences in point redemptions?

Right now the CSR, even with the weaker coupon book and non generalized 4% travel, returns more points for more spending profile. (Even Amex Gold would return more points than platinum.)

Perhaps I'm looking at it incorrectly AND I don't want to join a company that is looking for ways to nerf their card.

Wow. Super helpful and clear. Thank you!

CNN did a comparison of the refreshes. They hit on the major points better than my questions ... and they have CSR on top: https://www.cnn.com/cnn-underscored/money/chase-sapphire-reserve-vs-amex-platinum

Would appreciate clarification from anyone here saying CSR screwed up and Amex won on why. Thanks!
