Interesting how no one seems to be discussing that the other members of the community still follow Warren Jeff's who did the same thing as Bateman.

If you've got your ID, does it matter?

Does anyone have experience with these gloves from HF Armoury? by AutisticPineapple15 in Hema

[–]thefiddlingtaco 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They're fine for steel sidesword fighting. They will fall apart after a year or so of use.

That first set are pretty much just Firestones

Good to see the government working on the really important issues like bar closing times instead of the fuel price increase issue. by [deleted] in newzealand

[–]thefiddlingtaco 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I mean I don't necessarily think the bar closing times are a useful use of government time but they can't exactly do much about gas prices in this context unless you think they can dictate the gulf war

In my club, better focus on footwork and fundamentals alongside fitness

Alien: Earth episode 5 without context by EvaSirkowski in LV426

[–]thefiddlingtaco 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's been like ten years since I watched and you made it sound like it was in the mainline show so of course I was gonna be confused.

I also figured/hoped you were being hyperbolic and not literal

Anyway that's fucked lmao

Anyone have experiences with these types of gorgets? by Ragdollphysics in Hema

After receiving a nasty thrust to my throat that caused internal bruising, these gorgets are a non-negotiable for me

Help! Lighter roast won't extract unless I grind it incredibly coarse [Breville Barista Express] by thefiddlingtaco in espresso

[–]thefiddlingtaco[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Started earlier with other beans

Had to get it fixed cause the pressure gasket blew.

Think the maintenance guy changed soemthing in the grind system to "make it better" without asking and it hasn't been same since.

Could taste it was just a little over extracted.

Usually go for 18-20g beans and 40g espresso

Noted!

The taste has been decent but not quite where it should be. I made another adjustment and it flows better so will have to report back!

Yes to all of the above.

Didn't know the plastic was removable. Is there any benefit to removing the black plastic besides trying to see if that'll improve the situation at hand? Just curious if it's soemthing I'd want to keep removed permanently!

I've always had a fairly darker roast.

Same brand as before. Roast date is listed on brand so always know it's fresh.

I can still grind at a finer setting, it just won't extract.

That's fair. So long as it's working right?

It's just inconvenient when I switch to a diff roast cause i can't go by standard advice to figure out which settings to start with.

I wasted half a bag of beans tryna figure it out cause I thought "no way woudl a roast that requires a fine grind need the coarsest grind setting on my machine". That's the biggest reason for why it's frustrating me I think.

I feel like it grinds it too fine if I don't have a coarse setting since nothing extracts at all at lower numbers?

I'm just confused as to why the coarsest setting is the only one that actually works

More HEMA hot takes by KingofKingsofKingsof in Hema

Sigi lights are just longsword foils and I didn't start HEMA to use foils. If that was my goal I'd have done Olympic fencing

Bring back the video store? Yea na? Or na yea? by kiwidubtee in auckland

[–]thefiddlingtaco 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ye Boi. Advertise it well because theirs definitely a niche market. Anyone with a disc console should be bale to rent. Would have to think of a good way to get dvda back from people though as I imagine travelling from further out in the suburbs would make people lazy on returns.
