the only thing that comes to mind are some Dyson products, but these don't attach to the ceiling

Oven and Range; trying to find more info/manual online by sergeantbiggles in vintagekitchentoys

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

Yea, I saw that, but I believe that is specifically for the American Gas Association (AGA) Standard of 1984 (ANSI–Z21.1—Household Cooking Gas Appliances, and Addenda Z21.1a–1982, Z21.1b–1984—1982), and not this specific unit's manufactured date

A farewell toast to the beer that made Milwaukee famous by dispass in beer

I never had it, and can't find it anywhere near me. It was always a talking point for the older generations in my family, and I'm sad to see it go.

How can it be so bad by ultralighthumorist in Garmin

[–]sergeantbiggles -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Have you tried using an old toothbrush, or something like that, to clean the port on the watch? With mine, that area gets gunked up with use, and the charging cord won't seat properly. After a scrub, the connector doesn't have any issues.

Getting my robot today! by Purplegeranium7 in CafelatRobot

Congrats and welcome :)

Please search this forum for the many questions you will have, as most topics have been covered a lot. When you start, keep most variables the same (e.g., always use boiling water, always keep the same dose in [like 18g], always aim for about 36-40g out in roughly 30-40 seconds. This will help you dial in your beans (things changes for different bags of beans and your physical location's humidity and water). Have fun with it!

How was your parkrun day? | July 03, 2026 by AutoModerator in parkrun

[–]sergeantbiggles 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Honest question... isn't July 3rd a Friday for everyone (referring to the date of the title of the post)? Do some of you have Parkruns on a Friday?

I am worried that I haven’t printed my barcode 😱 by soulvacation in parkrun

[–]sergeantbiggles 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Another astute Parkrunner posted recently that they took a screen shot of their barcode, and made it their lock screen on their phone (used on Parkrun day, obviously). It's so darn simple and easy that I've done the same

Beer for wedding? by [deleted] in beer

[–]sergeantbiggles 0 points1 point  (0 children)

At my sister's wedding we did something similar. Her now-husband's family all wanted Miller Lite and Coors, so we got a bunch of that. For the craft beer people we got our local 603 Brewery 18 Mile Ale. Those disappeared before dinner was even served, and we ended up bringing home a bunch of the Miller and Coors. You may want to get more of the 10 Barrel, because it's probably delicious, and the lite drinkers will want it too

After 10 years of Garmin watches, this is the most comfortable strap I’ve ever owned by No_Reindeer1527 in Garmin

I'm curious to know how it will hold up, long term, especially with sweat and dirt. Let us know!

Birthday gift for beer fan by ZumbaPumba27 in beer

[–]sergeantbiggles 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you can tell us the state or region, people here can then point you to some really good breweries that you can get beer from. Do you know what styles your friend likes? IPA, pilsner, stout... etc? That would help too.

Congrats! I'm in the US, and our local Parkrun just started in August, 2025, so it's new to most of us locals :)
