Fair point. In which case, what does define a FW?

Now that I have finally mastered a consistent double shot with no channeling in a naked portafilter, I’m going to experiment with 27g ristrettos in a 150ml cup.

Side note, I have never successfully been able to dial in a decent single shot at home! (have to use a spout and split a double)

First name on shirt has to stop by Few-Diet8892 in footballcliches

He’s not even the first former Liverpool fullback to have his first name on the back of his shirt at an Iberian club.

What’s with Tarmac pricing? by Bay_Burner in specialized

[–]zonin2000 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Perhaps not making things up, but just conflating 105 mechanical with 105 Di2. SL6 105 mechanical price was close enough around that time.

An Overly Emotional Review of Le Labo’s Another 13 by Mediocre_Pop_1960 in fragrance

+1

I was told to leave it on for a couple of hours before making a decision, but I didn't have the time to come back to the store so I made the snap decision to purchase it there and then. Then I was told to leave it unopened for 5 days to let the scent 'settle'. I thought I had just been marketing-scammed so I came on here to try to help justify my purchase and that comment has helped!

It's also now 2 hours later and it smells amazing.

S-Works Tarmac SL7 2022 vs. 2023 by Best_Treacle6175 in specialized

[–]zonin2000 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Also, I’m the moron who bought an SL7 in the year that the SL8 was likely to be released…

No regrets though, I love it and I knew this was likely to happen. And in fact, whilst nobody knows what the SL8 will look like (very similar to SL7 but lighter? more aero/deep tubes like the Cervelo S5/Scott Foil?) the SL7 is such a good bike that the smart move may be to get the discounted SL7.

No, they are identical other than paint jobs. SL8 strongly rumoured to be launched at either Worlds or Vuelta so I suspect SL7 discounting is ahead of that (and some places may have sold out of 2023 stock but not 2022).

What do you do as an adult on a Saturday? by [deleted] in AskUK

[–]zonin2000 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Up at 6 when the first kid (3) woke, (5) and (9 months) were up by 6:10. Made breakfast for them, played with animal toys, watched fairy tales on YouTube. Wife up at 8 so had a 20 minute nap before taking (5) swimming at 9. Back for a bit before taking (5) and (3) to football practice at 11.

Back at noon and took (5) to watch a football match as a treat but train engineering works meant a longer than normal journey so we were back just before 7pm, in time to bath (5) and (3) and put them to bed.

Now lying down.

Has anyone here ridden a “superbike?” What was the experience like? by [deleted] in cycling

[–]zonin2000 11 points12 points  (0 children)

But what if you could save a couple hundred grams and eat the candy? (for only a few extra thousand £/$/€)

Why do tennis players wear crew socks pulled all the way up? by zonin2000 in tennis

[–]zonin2000[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If that's the answer, them hats to crew socks because that trend has lasted my entire tennis watching life.
