  • That is not what RDT is for coffee beans, lol. RDT is Ross Droplet Technique, which is very much adding water to beans. Named after David Ross who came up with it back in 2005

    Edit: post I replied to has now been edited to include the correct answer. The original answer was from chatgpt and completely incorrect so extremely misleading

  • They wont have anything but a minimal budget to even research this properly, let alone employ the staff or setup the systems to manage it properly.

    I realise China monitors a lot more than porn and their population is much much larger however they have between 20 and 50k working on it. Even if you cut down the scope you are still looking at thousands of employees to do this properly.

  • I read and watched reviews, lurked on a few of the coffee forums to see the consensus on what sort of coffee the different options would make. From there it was a simple step for me to pick the highest clarity burrs I could get as I really love my ZP6 for pour overs and I had grown to dislike the body focused espresso my Zero made.

    I wouldn't spend the sort of money the SSP burrs are, be they 64s or 83s, unless you either want to try and then sell them, or you are very sure you know what you want.

    If you don't know what you want based on what you have now (even if its I don't want what I have now like me) then if you really really lucky you might have coffee meet ups near by that you can try different grinders, otherwise you are at the mercy of what grinders the specialist coffee shops have near you for taste testing.

  • Yes I am aware of that, however the current way that is being looked at addressing the problem is moving the cabling to further within the car, which is just pathetic, like thieves wont just adapt to that.

    Encryption really isnt as big a performance impact if it is done correctly, sure it is not cost neutral but ask Range Rover how much reputational damage they had with their piss poor security. They are still having 1 in a 300 brand new defenders stolen after adding what is pretty a traditional immobiliser and tracker.

    As an example: https://iopscience.iop.org/article/10.1088/1742-6596/2006/1/012071

  • The existing standards OBD-II and CAN Bus just aren't fit for purpose for ICE cars let alone EVs. Too many keyless cars get hacked by the thief hacking into either system and overriding the lack of a key, even if it means cutting a hole in the boot lid to expose the CAN Bus connection as with some Range Rovers.

    Its become a significant problem for a lot of cars. It used to be that they would break into your house to steal your key, then steal the car but now they do not need to do that. It can be done in a couple of minutes on some cars that do not properly protect the CAN Bus cable.

    What we really need is a proper public/private key pair for the cars so that all comms is only authorised via the physical key fob. This needs to be touch authorised to prevent snoop attacks. Sticking it on the key would then mean right to repair is not blocked, if the main dealer has it then its a big blocker for right to repair.

  • Fiat implemented a "firewall" for their port, without the right device you cannot connect to it.

    It was implemented to prevent thefts, people hack the car through the ODB port or through the CAN bus connection.

    Its easier for them to lock down access rather than fix the fact you can drive a keyless car without the key.

  • The workflow on the Zero is best in class as long as you aren't trying to slow feed and/or hot start for better coffee. It gets painful to work around the lid closure detection if you do.

    Most of the "budget/high value" grinders such as the DF83 have significant workflow problems compared to more premium rivals like the Zerno or even the Zero, but for a handful of shots per day you have to be pretty picky for workflow to be a higher priority choice than grind quality.

    I do think the hype with it has sustained it so far, you even see people with Linea Minis with one as their only grinder, talk about back to front. I am expecting to sell mine for almost as much as I paid for my used DF83, which is just insane.

    I don't rate the Ode as best in class, but with the right burrs it leaves the Zero for dead despite being less than half the price in the UK.

  • Short answer is price, df83 with the SSP burrs used is about the same price as a brand new df64 with stock burrs in the UK.

    I decided I wanted the profile of the SSP HU burrs and the 83mm offers slightly better results than the 64mm of the same burrs. Shrinking the cuts down isn't just a question of making the same cuts smaller, it reduces the surface area which changes the way it grinds.

    However I suspect most people including me wouldn't be able to blind taste the difference with just one to sample from

  • Wow, honestly I've not seen such a self own for a while. Even though it's been deleted it still shows the user name who posted it, which isn't mine. You're getting mad at your own lack of ability to read properly, again.

    It's even in your screen shot, but I've circled it here as that seems to help you.

  • What, like this?

    I grew up in a deprived area. Both my parents were alcoholics. I grew up learning how to survive the hard way. But I got a lucky break early on. I have paid my way since I was 20 and retired on my own cash at 55. My kids have absolutely no idea what that sort of life entails. This idea that you can put people down because they lost out on the genetic lottery is incredibly insulting.

  • I answered them with my own, best way to deal with such obvious bad faith leading questions.

    I cannot stand the pretence that the issue wasn't already here before austerity. I have mentioned in other responses already including the one you just replied to about the impact of austerity so you are getting mad at nothing here. For example, lack of specialist schools to send them to I have mentioned a few times now.

    What caused the most harm was Cameron's hard on for sure start despite the good progress it was having with long term behaviour improvements. He fully intended to gut it before the 2008 crash so it would have happened with or without austerity.

    Shit parents produce shit kids who become shit parents in the main. Sure start interrupted that process.
