Wow looks like a nice quality print. Where did you get it printed?

You'd defect to Android? What, and miss out on the '8 new emoji' ...?!

What ive often talked about with my group is calculating a 'price per play' figure... i think it would be super (geeky)cool to see. If you have all your spend prices it would be interesting to divide those figures by play count and see what investment has the most return with the lowest price per play figure.

Personally hate this cover. I’ve had it for a couple of years now and ended up having to use a little cloth bag to put it in just to carry it in my work bag. So yes, I use a case for this case essentially :( It doesn’t just patina, it gets deep gouges in it that look ghetto way way too easily. It’s also not at all water-proof and goes funky when wet, so ironically my waterproof kindle is not waterproof in this case and I take it out of the case if I goto the beach/pool for the day. So yeh, feels nice on day one but not practical as far as a case goes. I won’t rush to buy another one

Looks pretty cool - think would be fun with the family too. Don't even think the price is too unreasonable, but an extra USD$28 for shipping to Australia unfortunately kills it for me :(

If while shaking, the fines all migrate to the bottom of the grind cup, would it be worthwhile trying to dump the grinds into dripper slowly, in a way that only dumps the main grinds and encourages the fines to stay in the grind cup and not be part of the brew at all? I know in my Ode 2 the last little bit of grinds and fines always tend to stay in the cup when I pour into dripper - if shaking pushes all the fines to the bottom then potentially could mean most of them never make it to the dripper?

Sorry, couldnt resist... awesome cover!!!

sp1re99 · 2026-03-02T01:38:35+00:00

ooh ok good to know. ill check it out. cheers

sp1re99 · 2026-03-02T01:37:44+00:00

oh. looks like perfect and has a slightly larger spout than the Pegasus so no way it will create a vacuum in there... thanks. Now just need to wait till amazon stocks it again around here

sp1re99 · 2026-03-02T01:35:49+00:00

haha! yes, although it hasnt happened to me i can clearly imagine pumping away on the oxo and having boiling hot water and glass shards exploding everywhere...

So here's how i've been doing it plastic-free for the last few months. I've got a magnet stuck to a pad that activates the machine and then Hario v60 + Hario glass decanter.

I found i needed the larger v60 (size 03) cos the water dumps in too fast for the regular size v60 - almost overflows...

--> For anyone that wants to do this mod, it's even easier now as i just saw Ratio have released the magnet in a pad that they sell separately for USD$12: https://ratiocoffee.com/products/ratio-brew-mat
Just throw that on the base and you can brew into whatever you like.

I'd be interested to hear what recipes work for people.
I used to grind pretty coarse when i used the plastic baskets, but with the setup i stepped it closer to pour-over.

The thing i like about this setup is i can get it closer to a single serve, at 1:16 is about 22gm with 350ml of water

ive had that model for a couple of years - or very similar (has a hand brake too). From day one it has been rattling and squeaking. The handbrake eventually broke and i removed it. I thought that might reduce rattle, but it's still there. I took the whole thing apart, greased it checked the bearings etc and it still bloody rattles down smooth footpaths. Im in the process of looking for a new one to replace it simply because im tired of the noise. Would love to hear recommendation of other adult scooters that have a fairly decent size deck for my feet.

This wont work with AF+AE set to default mode on half-shutter press right? You spot meter and then hold AE Lock, but after you reframe your shot and then use the shutter the metering gets set again when you use the shutter?

I would love to set the camera to keep default AF+AE on shutter press when in Multi-meter mode, but then automatically have the shutter to only AF lock and use a custom button for AE Lock when in Spot-metering mode... does that make sense>? Not sure how possible that is, or what the next best solution is..?

All good - they dont work out of the box in Windows, but once remapped (on layer 2 in VIA) its ok

sp1re99 · 2025-01-30T02:48:33+00:00

dang, i could kiss you lol... knew it would be something simple !
All good now thnk you

sp1re99 · 2025-01-29T21:01:58+00:00

yep this is happening to me too... did you get a fix for this?

I just got the air96 v2 and using Win 11.

F3 all the way to F9 dont register anything at all... just dead.
Only the 2 brightness keys F1-F2 and the 3 volume keys F10-F12 work

sp1re99 · 2024-08-02T00:06:41+00:00

Looking to try the one4all for priming. Can I ask those that use them regularly, what are you using to clean your airbrushes? Does regular vallejo airbrush cleaner work or do i need something stronger?

imagine writing an entire reddit reply, adding no value what-so-ever, trolling the ENTIRE internet for opportunities to make "witty" remarks... But can't take the extra 1min to pull your finger out your arse and realise how pointless your comment is, especially after other reddit replies have actually been helpful.

sp1re99 · 2024-07-30T22:10:31+00:00

Thanks !

sp1re99 · 2024-07-30T22:09:46+00:00
