At home I currently used a DF83 with the SSP HU Burrs for espresso, a Timemore 78 for pour over. For travel I have a 1Zpresso J-Ultra for espresso and a ZP6 for pour over. In the past I have owned a Niche Zero, Eureka Mignon Brew Pro, Quamar M80 E.

Burr size ignoring the changes it makes to burr geometry has little baring on what you get out of the cup, espresso or pour over. The burrs themselves? Potentially massive differences, but their are caveats.

Water, then beans are the two most important ingredients to your coffee. Sure, a great grinder will get more out of bad beans than a bad grinder, but it cannot cover up that they were bad beans to begin with, they cant invent flavor for you, only reveal it. And no amount of great beans and grinder will fix nasty tasting water.

Also if you only really drink dark roast and not medium to light roast, coupled with a preference for an espresso with a ton of body, then ultra low fine production grinder/burr sets aren’t going to be giving you what you want and will make your espresso feel too much like thin tea.

Having said all that, the particle distribution of a grinders output is something thats been measured many times. Its quantifiable that a better quality grinder, something with a proper pre breaker like a Zernos auger, and just all round high quality will produce a lower distribution of grind sizes. It is going to provide a more consistent cup of espresso than my DF83, but then its £2.5k for the same setup, when I swapped my Niche for the DF83 and the DF83 was light years better than the Niche for clarity.

May be they couldn’t have kids because, i don’t know, being entirely different species, so they adopted.

You can say that about a lot of authoritarian settings, most obvious example is a hardcore of Homelander fans, despite Homelander being a figure of fun and scorn in the Boys. There will always be people who either lack the critical thinking skills or willfully ignore ample evidence.

I have always loved the concept of computers like this one.

I have a picocalc on order but I am aware I am unlikely to make such a restricted use platform work for me day to day.

I also have a GPD MicroPC 2, its just about perfect for me for actual travel usage as its just a small PC, and when plugged into a docking station will drive 2x4k screens fine. It fixes everything I do not like about smartphones, I just want it smaller still but the keyboard is already a big compromise for me.

However I like the fact its based on a PI as it has a wide range of options for expansion and a large base of support to take it further if you need it to.

Two eggs, scrambled. Porridge with banana. Three espresso.

Our most exciting game at home since we beat PSG last season.

Emi Buendia has had one hell of a comeback from being injured, being so far out of form he can’t even get regular starts on loan, and having an offer to sell him in the summer accepted but he rejected as he wanted to fight for his place.

Yeah councils tend to block it all too often, extremely annoying

Bet people try it, or at least pushing off a chunk of it

Where do you park normally? I would expect them to force on street parking and chargers fitted to shared spaces if they were serious about adoption, obviously this charge proves they aren’t.

First three years you don’t have an mot. I would expect you to have to upload a photo of the odometer, which sounds absolutely awful.

When is he ever properly challenged by the media? Same problem with Boris before his fall

Hes walking a tight rope with his denials as he cant completely deny being a racist* as that undermines the fundamental plank to many of Reforms policies, but he cant be linked to being openly racist as that puts off the quiet racists who are quite happy with his policies as long as he doesn’t get caught using slurs as that risks them being ostracized by society.

*The truth or providing actual evidence of claims has never been anything that has bothered either Farage or Reform, see their bullshit council savings numbers just this week.

Its cheating, they should be treated the same as any other cheater on the course. A lot of UK unis would go as far as kicking some one off the entire degree for persistent cheating and its highly probable this was not the only paper they cheated on.

Until there are actual consequences it wont stop being so blatant. Only real way to prevent this is an actual defense of any end of module work and exams, either in person or via Zoom/Teams.

When my kids were kids it really depended on if they needed anything big. One year we would get them a macbook because they needed a new laptop for school but then it would last nearly five years so I wouldn’t have to buy another one for ages. Same for things like phones or consoles or. I always spent more on these big purchases as they normally last longer.

Now they adults I spend a few hundred for birthdays and Christmas. I like to get something they will actually use, will last, and is memorable. The best gifts show that you actually pay attention to their current hobbies or are something they would want but would rare splash for. Example would be for my sons birthday i got him a GBA SP style emulator and loaded it up with pokemon roms, official and fan, as I knew he had a few months off studying for his professional qualification.

So they don’t pay a penny towards those costs? For the median? As thats a lot of people.

As its entirely wrapped in the tax already accounted for in that net income with the UK tax payer.

I wasn’t expecting it to be the whole difference but I do know those that have to pay in the US pay a significant chunk of change.

You would think it would be an easy up-sell by the domain registrars to offer sound and look a like domains when you registering and renewing your domain

Are you accounting for everything that’s included in UK taxation such as health care and state pension?

What happened to Jota was awful but Slot has had more than enough money to spend to replace him, the fact that to me he hasn’t properly addressed losing Jota or Diaz despite spending an actual fortune shows Slot doesn’t understand what made the squad good last season or he simply didn’t care. Diaz is already having a good impact at Bayern, his loss in often understated to Liverpool.

While Slot tinkered around the edges of what Klopp left him, he was still effectively net decking last years squad without understanding it.

It annoys me no end that Sean was well prepared to exploit the gap freely admitted to by Arnie, but Unai wouldn’t, and it cost us our best chance of a win at Anfield in years.

It will be interesting who finishes higher if Arnie stays, Liverpool or Forest. Even Peps bad patch last season wasn’t this bad.

They get paid by Sky in my case, and a lot of people still buy snacks from them.
