I have a 100W uGreen for my HP Z-book. Has worked great travelling in EU, Asia. Bear in mind if you get a 65W charger and your PC needs 65W, then it might not charge if you use other ports on the charger.

My Nespresso Pixie is on it's way out. After 10 years of daily use and a couple of valve changes, I think that's pretty good going.
I'm still torn between the convenience of Nespresso and wanting a nicer coffee. I'm leaning towards a Barista Express or Pro at the moment. I have a cappucino (approximation) every morning and maybe two on a weekend, my wife doesn't drink coffee. I think the Sage Barista machines retain enough of the convenience of a bean-to-cup machine whilst still giving enough control to be able to get a good drink out. I'm currently frothing with an aeroccino 2, so I think any steam wand will be a good upgrade.
Anyone here got strong opinions of Sage Barista Express vs Pro? Main different is the thermoblock I think and the Pro runs a bit quieter.
Is there anywhere I could actually go and try out any of these machines?

My brother worked for a company where they printed the wrong telephone number for a prize competition and accidentally directed callers to a sex hotline. Imagine the confusion on both ends of that phone call.

They look like a wrinkly brit in magaluf doing crunches to me ¯_(ツ)_/¯

Sounds extremely wasteful

One of the clearest in my experience, and I've never mistaken it for a 25mm hex..

I recently got the Wera Bicycle Set 8 which covers most needed sizes for bikes, including T25 and T30. https://products.wera.de/en/tools_by_trade_tool_sets_for_bicycles_and_e-bikes_bicycle_set_8.html.html

Give em a spray with alcohol then blow them off.

I've seen cats that are pretty keen on using tyres as a scratching post. That doesn't particularly look like cat scratches though.

I guess there'll be a #tinyfuckingframebag to go in there

There's a tiny bit next to the sink, but mainly just small scratches rather than stains.

I have a 3 day window in which I would like to re-oil my wooden worktop. It's been 2 years since it was installed and there are a few scratches and areas where water is starting to get through. Should I be sanding through the old finish first to expose fresh wood everywhere, or am I better just applying oil and waiting a few more years before getting the sander out?

It's a good time of year to get spring bulbs in the ground if you want tulips, daffs etc.

Knipex Twingrips have been out for a while, I've had mine for at least a year it feels like. They are very useful for that once every few year job where you really need them!

It's an 1/8th hex ratchet with a pivoting head and a long extension.

I visited Deen Tools in Taiwan yesterday. I managed to show a surprising amount of restraint given the array of shiny things on offer.

Catching rays on the Great Wall of China

If the landlord is being a twat and kicking you out why not just break the concrete if you have SDS? Fill it back in if you’re feeling really kind.

As mentioned above, lower hub engagement does nothing for the fact that your chain will be flapping around on impact. Products like STFU are probably a cheaper way to test it, or even cheaper: remove your chain for a run or two.

The biggest problem can be that it is impossible to get a facing tool to the flat mount. Obviously no issue if there is good QC from the factory..

I don't understand that a fork flap can help reduce the aero penalty of a disc caliper, but why do they leave that ugly axle head flapping out in the breeze? It would make their life easier if they made the forkflap continue to the bottom of the fork and then did a counterbore to hide the axle head.

It's not just kickback from the freehub, but tension from the chain flapping up and down.

No it won't work, but O-Chain make a Cane Creek version

They aren't allowed to use power tools, and can use sandbags to stabilise a slope, but no other structures. It's all on private land I think, but they only have a couple of areas that they switch between each year so they are really altering a very small area of the mountain.
