You could pull good espresso before someone invented a plastic thing that makes the blah blah blah
Burn the witch!

Yeah, this all panned out just fine, nothing to see here etc. Let’s see what happens in a few weeks 😀
-
I prefer a bit hotter than 300°C!
We tend to have them set at 360°C at work but I sometimes prefer up to 390°C so you can get in and get out really quickly. Sounds counterintuitive, but a hotter iron sometimes puts less heat into the joint 👍
Seconding lead solder here. We struggled away with lead-free for a while at work but it was affecting the quality of our wiring. Eventually we just binned it off and went back to leaded.
-
That’s quite a big area! Whereabouts exactly are you going to be?
-
Bugger, I’m already committed to a beer festival. I’ll see if I can make the next one 👍
-
Plug for this fella. He makes excellent YouTube videos.
-
Putting the kettle “back” in the fridge
Yes, have done this.
-
That's the red LED one I mentioned. We had those before and they're just as good as the new ones.
-
Never shopped there online afaik or probably even browsed their site!
-
Lol, get in there Sigma!
-
I’m not 100% known for being bright, mind. I never worked out the bloke called Nicky we used to talk to in Blackmarket Records was Nicky Blackmarket. Or that Ash was Ash-a-tack.

My brother found this upload of one of the Crystal Palace raves that I’ve got on tape. I could hear that from my bedroom in Sydenham. It reminded me that I bought it in Section 5 on the Kings Road where me and a mate got those NASA jackets (Nice And Safe Attitude) amongst other bits and bobs of London raver clothing back then. Didn’t realise until recently that the shop was run by Rob Playford of Moving Shadow, so when we were in there most weekends we were basically talking to the Moving Shadow crew and we had no idea!

My speaker cables are 28 years old. Are they burned in yet?
I think I’m more impressed that the insulation hasn’t perished and crumbled to bits tbh.
-
Aye, shot first then steam the milk 👍
If you want to do a shot into steamed milk type drink, as @Kalkhoff said you’ll want to run a bit of water through the group head to cool it down before you pull the shot 👍
-
No, but it seems like an improvement if you need a new one. I can’t remember how much my replacement Gaggia one was, but it was in that ballpark and I also seem to remember the body on the new one was stainless steel and not brass like the 2008 original.
I wouldn’t replace it just for the sake of replacing, because it’s a LOT of work. Full strip down basically. I’d try running some descaler through the valve first and see if that helps bed it back in.

These Weller WT1 soldering stations are excellent. Can recommend but I expect they’re pricy. You can probably pick up the older ones with the red LED readout for not much though 👍
-
Probably liable by the letter of the law, but I think you have to weigh up, really, what are the chances of a car with Enterprise stickers stuck all over it getting nicked? Near zero.
Hire companies are like any other company: they advertise cripplingly low prices and then desperately try to claw back their margins by ‘offering’ value-added options which are little more than clever psychological tricks to worry people into coughing up. If everyone took the base price and didn’t pay up for the options, they’d be fucked. Simple as that.

Came here to post this utterly shit news. I don’t do heroes but Chris Hoy is evidently one for me because I punched the steering wheel when I heard this on the radio in my car earlier. I think I commented during the Olympics that I thought he didn’t look great and it was clearly this. Gutted.

Don’t tell him, Pike!
-
Are you sure it’s not their cheap vape you can smell?
-
Scenery looks stunning! Nice one.
-
Just nearly put 4 scoops of sugar in my coffee machine instead of coffee. I think it’s going to be one of those days.
-
Not really epic, but the Post Office now sending parcels with Evri.

Big statement, careful with that one!
Different speaker to main system, different response, different amplification, different crossover position, different physical position, chance of facing different direction. Without matching all of that up and/or doing some pretty in-depth dsp it’ll never be well integrated.
