Haney Garcia went well above and beyond expectations.

You were right - it really hits the spot.

I have had serious anxiety about this and no desire to watch at all but reviews are positive and I don't know what to do.

Like... Is it TV good or just good for a videogame adaption?

Great to hear! What was the old grinder?

I've been properly suckered into Mechwarrior 5 lately. After rinsing MW4 & Mercs for all they're worth as a kid I cannot believe it's taken me this long to get a copy. That perfect roguelike 'just one more mission' vibe but with the big stompy robots I love. Anyone else been playing it over the past four years of absolute ignorance on my part?

That looks delicious!

As someone who's got a Gaggia Classic and a hand grinder, this makes sense.

I'd only get electric if you think there'll be lots of long dial-in sessions.

Nice. What did you cook up?

Niiiiiiice! Tell me everything

Edit: ignore me, suggestion didn't have discs

Appreciate it - hopefully PID helps a bit but I'll monitor it.

@Stevethecoffee this is exactly the sort of reinforcement I need. Taste > parameters. Cheers

Turns out that randomly messing about with the Gaggia's OPV last year resulted in a perfect 9bar.

Now I've got the gauge and can measure changes, I'm gonna take it down to 7ish bar as 6 seems the internet afficionados choice and I don't want to seem quite as snobby as them. Any input from others who've done this?

I still really like my 1zpresso Q Air.

I went from a Baratza to a Kinu hand grinder (and now a 1zpresso too). Sometimes it's annoying, especially when dialling in some wild new espresso. Ignoring any taste/value arguments, the quietness & saved counterspace far outweigh that annoyance when talking about overall quality of life.

Nice!

That's a little ungenerous to yourself. It's just a weird mindset shift from "I need to be focused, rested and prepared for this set" to "just finished a max set of squats, better walk over and get some pull-ups in quick before the fatigue hits me"

Literally just go over to the pullup bar the second you finish a set and crank a few easy ones out then walk back to your main exercise. No need for an extra rest period or anything.

This took me from a max of 8->12 @95kg in a couple of months. I'd rarely do a set of more than 5 or 6 in that timeframe.

I found volume really useful for building these. Just throw in an easy superset (stop the second it starts to get slow) straight after basically anything thats not already a pulling movement. Even if it's just 2-3 reps, it adds up to 30+ a session real quick.

Thanks. Trimmed them up, fingers crossed they're not too tough.

I've been gifted a Wagyu Rump Roast. I wanna cut it into steaks to make it stretch further than a single cook. Is this dumb?

This is a great deal

Are you certain? I bought one with enough of a leak that rust had pitted the entire underside. I replaced the boiler gasket, which had hardened substantially and needed chiselling off, and there's no leaks anymore.

Edit: this was four years ago so could be misremembering but, like @mmccarthy, I don't remember touching pstat

Will be boiler gasket needs replacing. Cheap to do, straightforward if you can do work on your bike. Just need an oil filter claw and some leverage.

Nice!

Mirafit are that kind of level equipment company. No experience with this unit in particular but the brand are well regarded for decent home gym on a budget.
