  If you are becoming a lazy cook, start making meal sized salads. Gets you going again and healthy food becomes fun...

  The Sennheiser HD250 II Linear is one of the best headphones for Metal. Not just sound. It is comfortable and you can head bang properly...

  Highlight of the year: found the perfect filter coffee that is strong with rich flavour. Not my usual pick but a keeper.

    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 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.

    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.

    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.

  Brainwavz makes a custom thingy to fit those super comfortable Brainwavz earpads. Sorry Sennheiser, those ear pads are good...

    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.

    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.

  James Hoffman was right. His approach to the French press is good. Thing is 15 grammes per 250ml is too little for me. I am at 20 grammes.

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