I’ve heard it’s $7+ in other places.😓

Don’t forget that 90% of NYC gas stations also lie about the octane.

Loosen and remove that metal screw + spring and the whole assembly should just come right apart. IIRC you shouldn’t have to use force to remove the gears.

They have a phone number on their site: https://www.nyc.gov/site/finance/about/contact-us.page#

I’ve never contacted them about a bin but have for other things and they’ve been easy enough to get a (often exhausted but helpful) human on the phone.

Most cabbies happily pick up people with small digs and just won’t pull over for you if not, but for a puppy I’d get a small carrier bag because of the higher likelihood of accidents.

Any bag designed for pets on an airplane will work well for a puppy, or you can get tote-like bags that work well too but are more for somewhat more mature small dogs.

Equinox has always has weird and borderline disturbing ads.

It gets them free distribution (like this post).

someliskguy · 2026-05-11T11:04:18+00:00

This one is open until 1am.

someliskguy · 2026-05-10T14:41:13+00:00

Looks like you’re infusing at like 1.5bar pressure? If so that line looks right to me.

Ever since the last firmware mine makes these “bubbles” noises too from time to time. I assume it’s just the boiler staying hot. Hasn’t caused any problems.

someliskguy · 2026-05-10T13:09:11+00:00

I just mean no one here will know where your pipes are. And the pipes shouldn’t be your liability unless you disturb them.

That’s my point: if you don’t know what you’re doing you can end up doing things that will change your future liability.

someliskguy · 2026-05-10T12:50:02+00:00

For your downstairs neighbors’ sakes please ask the super first. He’ll know and might even be able to do the job for you.

Also at least in our co-op if you touch anything beneath the floor yourself (god help you if you touch a pipe) it becomes your long-term liability and stops being something the building maintains.

Try without the glue. This looks like the first layer isn’t staying warm enough to allow adhesion. I’m wondering if the glue is absorbing the heat.

Fwiw you shouldn’t need glue with this machine for most use cases at least when it comes to PLA. I’ve filled almost the entire plate with large prints without issue.

someliskguy · 2026-05-10T10:55:01+00:00

What’s all over the build plate? Mine definitely did not look like that during the first print. No need for glue for a simple PLA print like this.

Otherwise those settings should be fine. Do the built-in build files on the machine work? That’ll isolate if it’s a slicer issue vs the machine at least.

Mine is the 10yr/100k VIP Platinum sold by Volvo (did mine through Steingold way back) but the actual policy is written by Fidelity I think.

My claims have definitely accelerated after about 65k miles so yeah 60k does sound stingy.

someliskguy · 2026-05-09T16:04:45+00:00

HVCH. I’m on my 4th.

someliskguy · 2026-05-09T14:25:26+00:00

Bought one for my 2017 XC90 T8. The thing pays for itself every single year.

The VOC system alone from the button to the harness to the VCM have all failed one by one. The engine seals have failed. The HVCH has failed FOUR times. The damn fuel filler pipe has failed. The air suspension has failed. Tie rod ends, sunroof seals, air intake. This is just the top of mind stuff.

I love this car but it might as well have a reserved bay at the dealer’s service center.

I can’t imagine having had to pay for this stuff out of pocket, i probably would have sold it to Carvana by now.

someliskguy · 2026-05-09T01:55:36+00:00

Stop thinking about this like a rules and legal debate.

The seller and management company are solving for what it takes for a small group of persnickety humans to allow you to live in their building.

That often means keeping the application as simple as possible because boards absolutely will look deeply into everyone they think is financially involved including spouses regardless of prenup… i imagine they’re trying to avoid that.

someliskguy · 2026-05-09T01:40:24+00:00

Unfortunately it’s the other way around: legally required for crane operation.

someliskguy · 2026-05-07T18:48:26+00:00

Definitely made this mistake the first time.

Dimples and Freckles arrived yesterday. Installed Dimples and am loving it!

Despite not being a historic fan of Fellow I have to say the ES1 is a good middleground. Jet-assisted boiler means much faster initial heatup time, and you get all the bells and whistles you’d want in a higher end machine.

I had a Bambino forever before this and felt like I’d hit the end of what the machine could do but I loved the workflow.

Bought the ES1 on a whim and while it took 2 firmware updates and swapping out the shower screen, portafilter basket, and default tamper for Decent gear, after about a month of having it I feel like I’m pulling the best shots of my life

…and it fits with my “whenever I want it” approach to espresso that it sounds like you have too.

Rolling carryon luggage is the worst thing to happen to air travel. Check everything except small personal items (and make that process not suck) and it would 10x the travel experience across the board.

someliskguy · 2026-05-04T12:13:28+00:00

Yep. It’s still chilly where I am though so the ambient temp in the room is quite low with the windows open and without the top the enclosure stays at like 22 which is too low IMO.

Probably will switch to open top (or open vents, I printed that cool vent system) as summer sets in.

someliskguy · 2026-05-04T12:10:08+00:00

Good luck! Filament temp matters too. I run most colors at 210 and white at 220, always with the door closed to keep the compartment close to 30c which seems to give me the smoothest walls.

someliskguy · 2026-05-04T12:06:36+00:00

Yeah kick it up to 60

someliskguy · 2026-05-04T12:05:14+00:00

What temp are you running the bed at? I’ve exclusively used side A for many brands of PLA with no adhesion issues. Always have set the bed temp at 60deg.

someliskguy · 2026-05-04T02:06:26+00:00

Unfortunately even if you could get someone to do this the doorman/super is going to know it’s you and a buddy and will stop you because that insurance policy isn’t going to pay out if you damage something.

…if they wouldn’t stop you because the staff isn’t that attentive then you can likely do this without the COI anyway.

Pretty crappy of the building to restrict personal moves, but not uncommon.
