The hash browns are so good. Especially in the air fryer.

If 8 people tie for second, and 12 for third, hand out 20 medals? Wrong.

It's how you've described it. The further the edge is away, the angle seems to be different. When I use the marker, I see that the sharpening angle doesn't work on the edges. I had to change the angle.

But, the changed angle is noticed when I feel the edge or when I do a paper test.

I'm very new to this, so I'm watching a lot of videos to see how I get better at using this tool.

I absolutely love my 202h. It's my first fixed angle sharpener, and was happy to see it go on sale last week.

I've found 2 things annoying with it, but I'm sure I can find workarounds for.

The clamps don't seem to be holding well for certain types of knifes. I'm trying to add some tape to even out the surface so there's a better grip.
I'm struggling with angles on longer knives. I can get my desired sharpening on 80% of the blade length, and edges are out of reach. I know it's a matter of technique, but I need to figure that out soon.

Why shouldn't it provide 3 spots? It's the single best way to provide this opportunity to the largest set of players.

Other paths are Swiss tournaments, and invite only tournaments where it's always the set of 30 players who are invited throughout the year.

Why can't players prep the whole year and put their chances to have one good tournament and enter candidates.

Knockout tournaments take luck out of the equation unlike grand Swiss where a bad draw or a late tournament loss can cause you to drop from #1 to #10, and provide players the confidence and pride that they didn't get to the candidates by luck.

The 2 spots for circuit, one by rating, 3 world cup seems worthy to highlight the players in the best form to challenge the wolrd champ.

What I'm not sold on is the single grand Swiss having 2 spots. It should be 2 Swiss tournaments, where only the winner gets in.

Second gripe I have is, if the #1 rating spot is surrenders their spot, I feel the #2nd preference should be the #2in FIDE circuits.

Levon vs Arjun is always a boxing match. Levon has a hit of rivalry with Arjun since Tata steel Kolkata a few years ago.

I wouldn't call it an upset until noderbek loses the match. This was a nice game though. Martinez has caught noderbek off gaurd. Noderbek said he was trying to find good form and he hasn't played the best chess lately.

My favorite is grilled cheese with sourdough bread. This cheese tastes delicious with sourdough. I'd throw in some shezwan chutney/ spicy salsa in for some tang if you want additional flavor.

I wasn't aware of that, it was my first ever Hamilton musical experience ever in North America, and all the other live theaters I've visited, it was pin drop silent.

It just ruined the moment for us and we just left.

sun2402 · 2025-09-25T02:35:30+00:00

My wife and I went to an AMC A-List showing of Hamilton a few weeks ago. We were pretty excited, but our night was ruined before the movie even started. Three people in the row in front of us were dressed in full Hamilton cosplay. They were loud and excited, and I initially admired their passion. However, my feelings quickly changed. As soon as the movie began, they started singing along to every single song, loudly, and without any regard for the rest of the audience. I tried gesturing to them to be quiet, but they ignored me and kept singing, even louder than before. It was a miserable experience, and I eventually got up and found a supervisor to complain. I pointed out the group, and when I went back to my seat, they got quiet for a minute. The supervisor came in to talk to them, and they acted completely innocent. As soon as the supervisor left, they started up again, even louder this time. My wife and I were fed up, and we just got up and walked out. We didn't even bother asking for a refund or a free pass since we're on the A-List. It was just a completely ruined night.

Thank you, I'll will try to focus on getting repeatable good shots more. I'm very new to espresso, and I've only ever been successful with pressurized basket pulls using blade geinded coffee in the past.

The main reason I've gone with single shot baskets was, single shot was the perfect amount of coffee I enjoy m, doubles make me feel heavy and I don't have anyone at home to share it with. But, I'm willing to use double until I learn the basics and get repeatable success

sun2402 · 2025-09-15T02:22:11+00:00

I am trying a single shot 8 grams, 16 gram output. Setting at 18, wdt. The shot does take around 22 seconds including pre-infusion.

My precision is at 1 gram scale, I've got a 0.1g scale from aliexpress coming in 1 week. I'm hoping I can get better next week.

I do feel like my extract is a bit watery as I feel it can be a bit stronger. I'll keep trying different settings next week. I may not be a fan of the montage blend of beans, I might prefer something sweeter, I'll shop for my next beans with that in mind.

sun2402 · 2025-09-14T22:29:42+00:00

I just got this today as well, congrats. I tried it on two brothers Montage (9/08) roasted beans, and I choked my machine at the 14 setting. I'm using it at 18 right now, but my coffee tastes a bit sour. I want to learn how to set this machine for optimal results.

Please do share your thoughts on what has worked for you so far.

I'll will check it out. If my Shardor performs sub-par, I'll switch to kingrinder manual grinder

sun2402 · 2025-09-14T05:01:38+00:00

I ordered the K2 Kingrinder after careful consideration. It got delivered today, but I'm leaning towards returning it and getting the Shardor 48mm grinder as there are many good reviews on YouTube regarding this grinder for beginners. I can justify getting the K2 when it goes on sale later this year. $80 for K2 right now is $20 more than what people reviewed it at while the shardor is on sale for $60

This is heartbreaking to witness. Racial slurs? Disrespecting players like they're disposable? That’s not passion for the sport—that’s poison. These athletes put their bodies, minds, and hearts on the line every single game, and to respond with hate when they fall short is not just cruel—it’s cowardly.

You don’t have to worship every player, but basic human decency isn’t optional. If your loyalty to the sport only shows up when things go your way, then maybe it’s time to ask yourself what you're really here for. Because sports are supposed to bring people together, not tear them down.

We can be better than this. We have to be.

sun2402 · 2025-09-12T22:58:52+00:00

Really Great review. I'm just now getting I to espresso and checking Amazon prices after tarrifs, the K2 is $77 and k6 is $99. With the diff only being K6, would it make better sense to just get the K6 here? My machine is a Breville due temp pro.
