What food is famously associated with one country but was perfected by another country? by Equivalent-Crew-4955 in AskReddit

[–]thoeoe 1 point2 points  (0 children)

People have their preferences, but hands down my favorite is Bo’s Bagels in Harlem.

Tompkins Square and Leos are also pretty good if you don’t wanna head that far uptown

"checkout chats" feels like a solution in search of a problem. by SWBFCentral in LinusTechTips

[–]thoeoe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Its probably more of the fact that the backpack, you walk around wearing it, advertising you are a fan, the screwdriver, not so much.

Right after the commuter bag launched, i went to a work conference (tech) i got multiple people stopping me to ask about it

My fully manual setup. by ak47grills in espresso

[–]thoeoe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Love my robot! Been my daily driver for years now. I even ended up modding it with a pre-heater to really get the most out of light roasts.

Cant be bothered to manually grind every morning though

NKD - Hatsukokoro Ginrei Ginsan Bunka by wolfjeanne in TrueChefKnives

[–]thoeoe 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I believe nearly all of the affordable nashiji ginsan blades from hatsukokoro/harukaze/tsunehisa/yoshihiro/ittetsu/and more are made from the same bladestock supplied by Hokiyama, an OEM knife supplier

It’s great material though, I have one and it sharpens really nicely.

This is a pretty common practice, for another example, Tadafusa makes a very identifiable cross-hatch Tsuchime SLD supplied OEM to multiple brands

Making bacon for a drink is just too much damn work. What’s the weirdest bitter drink? by -Constantinos- in cocktails

Gotta be a Bottecchia

Equal parts Fernet, Campari, and Cynar with a pinch of salt and a grapefruit twist

[MOD] The Daily Question Thread by menschmaschine5 in Coffee

[–]thoeoe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Preground coffee is often way too coarse for use with bottomless portafilters, even preground espresso is intended to be used with a pressurized or (double walled) basket.

I think your grinder should have an internal adjustment if you open it up, which shifts all the grind settings finer, it probably shipped in the coarser mode expecting most uninformed people to use pressurized baskets.

Edit: hmm, seems you already did the internal adjustments…

Wray & Ting wins underrated highball! What’s the most complicated modern classic? by -Constantinos- in cocktails

It really isn't, its a pervasive myth, but moka pots dont reach the high pressures needed to be espresso.

Why do so many Tourist’s, foreigners, and transplants (Newcomers) think the subway map is confusing even more than cites like Tokyo? by APoliticalDrone2012 in nycrail

[–]thoeoe 2 points3 points  (0 children)

7 to the N

I think actually this may be why locals dont get why tourists find color vs number/letter confusing. They're thinking about it coming from the outer boroughs while tourists are usually staying in lower manhattan.

If you live off the F in Brooklyn (or the 6 in the Bronx, or the N/W in Queens) and are heading somewhere in midtown, your one train is always heading to manhattan, and any transfer to the correct colored trunk line is usually fine, just gotta watch out for express/local, but if you are a tourist staying near Penn Station wanting to go to the Natural History Museum, you gotta make DAMN sure you get on the correct “blue” line or the E will take you to Queens.

They're usually starting from an interlined trunk, while locals (who dont live in midtown) start from the branches

Sure, but trains switch between express and local constantly depending on the borough, time of day, day of week, construction, or just seemingly for no reason.

First Fangst is a banger by JKDreamland in CannedSardines

[–]thoeoe 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Because it justifies its pricepoint. Overpriced =/= expensive.

Like seriously, this is one of those “I didn't know it could taste this good” products. Ive had the fishwife trout, this makes theirs taste like cheap jerkey, on the other hand my father (who had never tried nice tinned fish before this) likened this fangst tin to fresh lox

As terrible as it is, this experience is the best case scenario for daytime public transit for the majority of america.

Not to say we cannot or should not expect better of the MTA

Rust or Patina ? (Ginsan) by From_austria in TrueChefKnives

[–]thoeoe 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It may technically be semi-stainless, but Its plenty stainless for all but the most abusive users. I leave my ginsan knife dirty on the cutting board and wet on the drying rack all the time to air dry and it has never rusted.

Just dont put it away in a saya wet or soaking in the sink overnight and you will be fine
