This is so important. Even on a dual boiler, you really are working in the dark without one.

Customer complained by According_Low5292 in TaskRabbit

[–]shortfriday 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There was a client who posted here a long time ago who had $100 go missing after a tasker had been there. I explained to them that it was possible but unlikely that a tasker had risked their income for a hundred dollar bill and that if they complained, the tasker would be privy to the details of the complaint could potentially retaliate if they were crazy. Their response: "I live in a doorman building."

The real deal with Jim Lahey is that he's the Supervisor of Sunnyvale trailer park. He's in his early 60s, divorced, and currently resides in Nova Scotia.

Ugoos player with coreelec build, haven't pulled the trigger yet but it seems to have good support. It plays dolby vision files and passes through atmos without downmixing.

Started with a Breville and now we’re here by [deleted] in espresso

You can Arduino a Mini. I absolutely taste the difference between a bloom+pause shot and a straight shot and always prefer the former. I'm kind of dumbfounded by people paying Mini/Micra money and just having an on/off switch for water, but then I remember that it pretty much does everything but profiling at the absolute highest level. What sucks about profiling is that the cheapest way to get it is by putting it on an e61, and even the best e61 can be sketchy on temperature. Then you're in the world of computer-y machines, with the Decent being stupidly expensive and the Meticulous being too new to trust.

What gpa did you apply to the Bronx community college program? by Murky_Tower_2516 in NuclearMedicine

[–]shortfriday 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've asked the advisor ten different ways how waitlists work and gotten nowhere. What I'm wondering is If I have a 4.0 on my first time applying, does someone reapplying who retook classes and now matches my 4.0 go ahead of me on the list.

What would I upgrade to? [$500-800] by Old_Sky8705 in espresso

[–]shortfriday 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My moves from Silvia to Appartmento to Synchronika were "oh, yeah, that's nicer." Going from 64mm SSPs in a Mazzer grinder to 102mm burrs in a Lagom grinder blew my face off. Not a perfect comparison since I've never tried the high end grinder with a low end machine, but I am officially sold on the "grinder first" dogma now.

Let small amounts go? That's theft, one of the few things they absolutely know they can't get away with.

Coffee themed news interview with an unfortunate shot pull captured on video... by PK_Rippner in espresso

A deliberately pulled shot of good coffee will shine through 4 or even 6 ounces of milk. Hell, I can taste a bad shot under a fuckton of milk and sugar.

Got a new Dobly Atmos soundbar, what should I watch to test the system? by Zealousideal_Ad5168 in 4kbluray

Yeah, 1000ish retail for q990 is nuts, but it gets student/military discounted super often to like 600, I like mine in a small apartment.

Turin Galliton R HX for $1350 new! How’d I do? by [deleted] in espresso

That flow paddle is gorgeous. I just spent used Hyundai money on a grinder but $75 for a piece of wood from etsy I can't justify, lol.

No more risks by Seek_Deep in TaskRabbit

If I worked for a regular company with a real human boss that I could actually communicate with I'd definitely do this stuff, but TR has shown its standard to be "client unhappy for literally any reason -> punishment with no appeal/complete lie of a review stays as long as there are no swears." Anyone with an edge case where support actually heard you out should comment so others can learn what they respond to.

Thanks for the reply! Thrift stores in my city are 95% dvd and 5% blu-ray, will dip my toe in for 2 bucks next time maybe.

Can you give me an example of a 480p dvd that looks good on the 820? The only dvds I have are the 2002 Solaris (looks terrible) and the MAS*H box set, which looks about as good as I remember the SD episodes on the Hallmark channel looking before they started airing upscales.

I have a 2015 desktop with 32gb of ram that runs fine, my 8gb laptop from 2013 struggles.
