winning track records are temporary other than the expected statistical outliers.

is this just a temporary thing or are you planning on leaving the extension lead connected all the time?

are these machines double insulated or earthed?

just had a look at my relatively cheap grinder (Baratza) and it appears to be earthed (earth pin on the plug is metal - ok, not conclusive). If so, then the earth theory could have merit. you could ask your customer to try it in a different plug socket and if that doesn't work then a different ring main?

i think i would write to the manufacturer. does the machine have some kind of PLC in it that could be susceptible to EMI?

potentially interested!

Ah ok, maybe I'm mistaken but I find it hard to sharpen and have to work it on a stone for quite a while before there is any appreciable effect.

Borough Kitchen have this Wusthof on sale

I have ome of these, must be knocking on 10 years old now. It's definitely a workhorse that doesn't require TLC. It's a very good knife imo.

Only downside is the steel is hard af so it's not quick or easy to sharpen, but that's just the flip slide of durability and resilience.

I've always had carpets with significant wool content, I thought that was fairly normal.

We did have moths at one time and yeah they are hard to get rid of. They mainly went for a rug we had over a wood floor, and didn't get stuck into the hall or stairs fitted carpets. Pretty much ruined one rug which is a shame as it was a really nice hand made thing.

moths "ruined their wine". interesting.

great pic

they just seem to paint everything black...

Another M&S bakery outing. Just to check.

Pastry crunchiness is exemplary. Filling depth is good. Filling itself is fine, but not up there with the best.

They are top 5 for me

Makita tend to be very reliable for power tools, but obviously more expensive than own branded stuff from the big retailers.

I was intending to buy one myself and IDed a Makita that looked suitable but in the end I didn't buy it and just let the garden turn into a jungle.

Also tried a M&S "best ever" pie yesterday. Agree they are pretty good. Pastry is the highlight. Filling a little like marmalade, overall positive though:

paying someone who knows what they are doing

Yeah, they know what they are doing; taking your fee and adding it to.their sales target. And aggregate returns equals market returns minus fees.

Sorry, unhelpful reply. I really don't know what I'd do in your situation.

Edit: having thought about it a little, with a 4 year time frame I'd be looking at tax efficiency as others have said, and cash and fixed income for all or the vast majority of it.

One of ours decided yesterday that a used peppermint tea bag was an item of interest.

She delicately fished it out of a mug, then licked and eventually chewed it until the mint leaves came out. All the while sneezing and wiping her nose with her paw.

Quite curious/ funny to watch.

its now 100x better than any other knife I own

glad to hear this!

i haven't tried the Niwaki range but I have one of these which I really love and seems similar vfm:

this made me lol! :)

as long as you see them coming early

I see the attraction of this view, especially at a time where nearly all asset classes appear expensive in comparative terms.

However, for me at least, the chances of spotting an emerging bubble, getting in on it, riding the euphoria phase for a chunk of time and then getting out with significant gains, seems unlikely and more so considering the limited time I have left to achieve this and then enjoy the benefits.

If I was 25, maybe I'd think differently.

Market timing doesn't work for the majority of people which equally means that it will work for some, and whether that's by luck or judgement probably doesn't really matter.

giving it some actual value beyond buying weed

yes, it's very possible that BTC will keep going. Just like gold and house prices.

I wasn't really predicting something, just observing that bubbles often are not perceived to be bubbles.

But for fun: 2035 - somewhere between $1,000 and zero.

No way is BTC a bubble

Saving this for posterity.

damn - i was in a Caffe Nero just 10 minutes ago.
