I gotta find me one of those. Mine was a gift from my mother and I am not looking a gift horse in the mouth in this economy. It's a bit of a pain, but I'm good with my hands and even better with pulling apart tech. It's a pain, but not impossible to clean.
Bonus is that you can buy third party roller replacements for a third of the price of the head unit. At least third party markets are still allowed for the time being.
I was just thinking about this the other day after removing the fifteenth torx screw from the bottom of my Shark vacuum's roller head. They hid screws under the pipe hatch and the two tiny friction mounted front wheels. Vacuums are triple the price and rollers are no longer removable from the outside.
45 minutes to fix what is essentially a five minute problem. They'd rather you throw it away and buy the whole head unit from the site. They even have bars blocking you from cutting hair from the roller without opening it.
Shit like this is why I still use an iPod 5th gen. No internet. No tracking apps. Just you and your hard copied music on a device that can be opened, repaired, and modded.
Yeah, true. I'm pretty good at the balancing circus act. I've only had one mistake and I was very tired that morning and forgot to put the filter cap on. Just a little spilled though, mostly I just wound up with a bunch of grounds in my cup. I may still try the valve or the Prismo, though.
100% subscribed. I'm the type to do a week of research of how and what before I push the buy button on something, and this will a help a ton. Thank you.
I can imagine its a nightmare to clean. Stuff like this is why I keep rugged reusable pipe cleaners at the kitchen sink. Not to mention I believe you have to use the stainless steel filter even if you use a paper filter?
I would think that just a paper filter would immediately siphon into the hole. Would be nice if they just made a metal insert with holes like the standard cap for paper filters.
That's fair. It really does make a great cup of coffee. I just really want to try things like pour over and moka pot.
Absolutely! I use an app called Timer Widget - Tea Time. I swear I found it on F-Droid, but it seems to have migrated to Google Play only. It has no app interface, but rather is a widget. It's customizable, you can choose the color of the timer and active timer and change the volume plus the sound that plays.
But there's another simple one on F-Droid called Cuppa that's very good, too. If you want something more complex that will go step by step, there's Cofi - Brew Timer on F-Droid. It uses exact instruction input and a timer that will go down the list in order.
Admittedly, standard plunge is the best and easiest way to do it if you just want a good cup of coffee. I went overboard testing and fiddling with this method. It really is a ritual, lol. I feel like a kitchen alchemist sometimes.
In my defense, I spend a little more to get a good brand of coffee straight from the roaster's site, as well as a local coffee I found that is absolutely delicious. I figured I might as well take the time to get my money's worth out of them. This method takes upwards of fifteen minutes, and is not great if you just need to plunge and get somewhere.
Mullvad, (the vpn, I have not tried the browser) uses a single account number as both name and password, no emails. It allows for multiple anonymous payment methods and it's open source.
As a (currently) CachyOS user, I would like to point out that their custom mirrors don't always reflect the newest version of packages, too. So if your package has a bug you may have to wait an extra day or two for it to reflect the fixed version after it drops. That or manually install the git.
Just make love with Timeshift and for the love of god don't use topgrade if you don't know what you're doing. Thankfully, because of rule number one, Timeshift told me the topgrade nightmare was over and tucked me back into bed with a glass of warm milk and a bedtime story.
Thankfully compiling on Windows was as easy as searching for a guide online. When I switched to CachyOS there was also a package in the AUR that seems well maintained.
I like that LibreSprite exists though. I wonder if it can use Aseprite's extensions. I might have to check it out just to see.
Once my financial situation is settled I do want to pay. Aseprite is an amazing tool and the devs deserve my money at this point. They don't ask much and still keep it available to compile for free. That's real marketing, imo.
Lemmy is far from perfect, but so is Reddit, and Reddit is falling further every day. Some users on Lemmy have a bad time because they come barrelling in without reading instance tags, pick an instance name they think is cool, and suddenly find themselves on the front lines of a massive drama war and slapped with tags they didn't even know existed... I know from experience.
So then they'll run off back to Reddit without reading and actually finding the right instance and start screaming how bad it is. Couple that with Reddit trying to hush everything Lemmy and doctoring their platform to make it look bad... yeah.
I'll admit I still use Reddit from time to time because there are communities that don't exist here yet that are actually good communities staying out of this battle. But you can bet your ass I use RedReader and uBO to do it. The moment Reddit started charging exorbitant API fees and peddling NFTs I cut my use back by 90%.
So pick your poison: Do a little research and find the right instance and communities or live as the product and run around with the blinders they give you. Its literally a red pill blue pill deal.
I also vape 0 nicotine, but I'm trying to wind down flavor too. Back in the early days of vaping, it was more often than not the flavoring that was causing a lot of health problems. I remember specifically that some cinnamon, grape, and butter flavors would cause popcorn lung. They've since been removed, but pretty scary nonetheless. I still avoid those flavors as a rule of thumb.
If I do have to order flavoring, I go through a site that provides all the MSDS chemical documentation for each flavor. Even then, these "safe" flavors still have skin irritation warnings. Not to mention if you sweeten your juices or buy sweet juices, its more than likely using sucralose, which in high intakes can also promote cancer. I've dived pretty deep into this because I've been making my own ejuice for nearly 8 years. Hell, I still have 5 gallons of 100mg nicotine I'm not using in my freezer (bought just before it was illegal to sell nicotine online).
The tube is interesting though, because this same site sells purely natural flavorings. Could be a nice alternative for vaping addicts. I still avoid disposables like the plague. I've tried one and the amount of flavoring and sucralose you need to achieve that flavor is more unhealthy than the extremely high nicotine. If they make someone who's been vaping for 11 years sick to the stomach, you can bet they are the worst you can get for vapes.
I ran DVI for quite a while until my friend's BenQ was weirdly green over HDMI and no amount of monitor menu would fix it. So we traded cords and I never went back to DVI. I ran DisplayPort for a while when I got my 2080ti, but for some reason the proprietary Nvidia drivers (I think around v540) on Linux would cause weird diagonal lines across my monitor while on certain colors/windows.
However, the previous version drivers didn't do this, so I downgraded the driver on Pop!_OS which was easy because it keeps both the newest and previous drivers on hand. I distrohopped to a distro that didn't have an easy way to rollback drivers, so my friend suggested HDMI and it worked.
I do miss my HDMI to DVI though. I was weirdly attached to that cord, but it'd probably just sit in my big box of computer parts that I may need... someday. I still have my 10+ VGA cords though!

Maybe not butt farts, but butter for sure.
