Deep Funk

Are you just gloating or do you plan on sharing? :)

Perla (Dutch brand) espresso grind (4/5 strength and/or intensity), sold per 250 grammes at Albert Heijn. Smooth, strong and flavour. Not too expensive compared to the "hip" brands. I have to buy more...

I want a Monaco. Maybe eventually ill get one...

I still think this thing is the square business. https://www.glashuette-original.com/sites/default/files/styles/1000x1440/public/product/teaser/2-39-47-13-12-04_Front.jpg?itok=Y3GMgmUn

I bought the normal display. I do not like the negative/reverse display for everyday use. Then I prefer a dark dial with yellow or white indices. On LCD screens it annoys me.

For those about to rock... We salute you!!!

The new album's out, with Brian Johnson singing even!

Yeah, it is weird for me being at college and not being able to have parties

I hate parties. But I would so much like to be able to have them. Heck, never mind parties, just normal mixing with people.

I was ready to party this year. New measures again. f**k it, next year I am going to party like it's 1999. December will be interesting, people want to have fun and they need it.

Never been a gamer. Only ever play Solitaire and occasional tetris, and android versions for my phone are absolutely good enough for me.

On the other hand, you might enjoy http://www.reallybadchess.com/

Noted, might be worth my silly time.

Wild times, man.

Now it looks like it is coming down to Nevada actually. Everybody hang on. It ain't over.

Since I finally got back home, I've met a lot of worried people on both sides. I hit on this pat line: "the country is bigger than any one person." It actually seems to calm them down, so that's good.

Ive heard many a headphone fall apart when tasked with playing back Elegy by Fleshgod Apocalypse. Poorly mastered metal is always on my demo reel for this reason

My Surface Pro 2017 has been rock solid, but then again so has my Thinkpad X1 Yoga. Only issue I have with the Thinkpad is the camera is spectacularly shitty.

I guess Microsoft improved the Surface device a lot recently. My old Surface Pro reminds me of dealing with an iPhone 4S nearing death, I am done.

Found a pic. The owner ended up using a UV-cured resin to fix the cracking. They're relatively inexpensive so may be worth the risk but also seem pretty shoddy. Observations derived with sample N=1 of course.

Also microsuede pads are excellent with the HD600 IMO, gives it a nice clockwise tilt: https://i.imgur.com/0UBRRJP.png

The earpad of my HD600 popped off and it does not want to pop back in. I do not mind buying new earpads, I mind that f'ing lack of mechanism to hold the earpads in place.

The way earpads were secured on the Brainwavz HM5 was great. Too bad the HM5 is made of cheap plastics, it literally crumbles to pieces...

Agh, sorry to hear. The foam on my set are about flat as tortillas but they're still secure, and given how much original Senn pads cost and how there's no real aftermarket option for em I'm just keeping them as-is for now.

Hope you get a great replacement set in though!

wish I could use that. I did until I found temp out of nozzle was 155 F, way below needed 193 for proper extraction. At this altitude we got to go vigorous boil and pour to get it right.

I just heat up what's left of my cold flat latte in the afternoon for a caffeine boost, tastes okay enuf

It seems that politicians and heads of state forget how fragile the lives are of everyday people. If they could walk a mile in our shoes...

Even QE2 went visiting without a mask. They say they checked everyone and it was safe, but she, of all people, should understand about setting an example. Maybe she's been Bojoed.

It no longer matters. These awkward times expose everybody for who they really are. So much epic face-palming lately...

I am already feeling kind of down short term. Last thing I need is to hear about the always negative News. Stay strong guys...

Dutchmen,

I don't know anything about your government, but surely it can't be worse than Boris!

NL is heading into the BoJo-zone. That is the problem. Testing was done on a small scale, not a large scale and the organisation charged with updating the numbers lags behind. The numbers are not to be trusted because the cabinet has been lying from the start. Save yourself and your loved ones.

I'd ride a bike everyday if that would be practical regarding distances. I dont get city folks here, buying 60k-100k SUVs to sit in s** city traffic. I guess everyone wants to get out of the city, fast , on the weekends.

I was so tired that I spelled "brakes" wrong twice. Thanks for reminding me brains...

I do James Hoffman French press all the time. I typically do 75g for 1 liter

In addition to his method using 75g/L, I stir for a minute after pouring. Always gives good result.

I see, thanks for the tips.

That video clip makes me want to play Cyberpunk or something...

I hope Maxi Jazz will also be back. His spoken word lyrics were good.

Too bad they're the kind of best friends that get along famously with you but bicker ceaselessly with the other :P

The hardest part of ending is starting again :)
