Spoiler: It won’t be.

First they came for the socialists, and I did not speak out—because I was not a socialist.

Then they came for the trade unionists, and I did not speak out—because I was not a trade unionist.

Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out—because I was not a Jew.

Then they came for me—and there was no one left to speak for me.

It’s also gluten free!

I play D4, Last Epoch and PoE.

I enjoyed the D4 story for my first play through and the recent changes for season 4 have made levelling to endgame much more enjoyable. It is much simpler than PoE and I play it knowing that as something fun that I can pick up and put down at will.

Last Epoch I’m playing to try out each mastery. Even though it’s now a 1.0 release it’s still a bit barebones. Give it a couple of cycles and it’ll be more fleshed out especially in the endgame. I think of it as a middle ground between the simplicity of D4 and complexity of PoE. I like that I can easily try off meta builds through passive refunds and make my own builds.

PoE scratches the D2 itch for grinding. I’m an addict who like spreadsheets.

Moved into our new house and discovered 2 leaks in the recently refurbished bathroom. Anybody got recommendations for a decent plumber in Auckland?

But we should totally trust Recall because MS is committed to security /s

Boozy Bay is my kind of place.

Yeah, I’m not giving them biometrics. There had better be an alternative option.

Sorry, damn work keeps on getting in the way of social media. Yeah that price isn’t amazing for the bambino; checked priceme and it definitely goes on sale with steeper discounts. Could always check again for Matariki at the end of June.

The barista express is the same machine as the bambino but includes a grinder. I think you said you already have a grinder?

Weird. My account is already showing 1 year.

Guessing voyager must be rounding somehow.

Yup that’s the one we got. Definitely makes decent coffee, heats up instantly and my wife is happy with the milk frother. Only additional thing we bought for it was a tamper as the plastic one it comes with is crap. The stainless steel milk jug and 4 portafilter baskets are all good.

Just bought the Breville Bambino over ANZAC weekend. On sale it was about $250 and I’d expect it to be discounted again over King’s Bday in a few weekends time.

We were looking at the Breville Barista Express as well, but all the info online suggested that the grinder breaks first and isn’t economical to repair, so you end up having to buy a separate grinder anyway. Bambino on sale + Baratza Encore ESP is not much more than the Barista Express and the Encore is a much better grinder than the bundled one and is designed to be repairable at home.

Otherwise the Brevilles actually review well for their espresso making capabilities. I fell down the rabbit hole on /r/espresso and they come highly recommended as entry level machines.

I guess I haven’t really compared my usage to others in quite some time. I did think it’d be defensible given there’s usually a 80GB+ patch or game install each month but just didn’t want the hassle of having to explain each month if I could avoid it.

Legend. Thank you that’s exactly what I was after.

Does anyone use Hot Shot as their ISP?

I’m moving house and eyeing up a new fibre provider. They look very reasonably priced and a quick search of reddit and geekzone suggests their uptime is good. However im more concerned about whether I will get pinged for “reasonable use” under their unlimited plans given that I use between 200-400GB a month and sometimes more.

Despite slingshot being extremely expensive they at least haven’t said anything when I’ve hit 700GB in a month. It’d also be a dealbreaker if Hot Shot does port blocking with no way to control it and selectively open ports.

Most of our mountainous land is protected. Even if it’s not, dairy farms aren’t being run on rugged terrain. Cows aren’t exactly known for their adventurism.

Original artist is Mike Davis for any like me who were wondering.

Been in the hospital overnight again which has been pretty traumatic. Just counting down the minutes until my wife gets here and I can go home.

Damn that sounds painful. I think our bread knife is the sharpest knife in the block. Use it to score the fat on pork belly as the teeth are great for getting through flesh.

Had my tonsils out on Saturday and feeling pretty messed up from the cocktail of drugs they’ve got me on. Currently watching all the fast and furious movies and then moving on to the Lord of the Rings extended editions.
