AngeNZ, what one did you get?

 

[Zazie]

I’m glad people are being held accountable for that, finally. Not a huge problem up my way. I know several people with pit bulls. The ones I’ve met or known have been lovely and loved.

A friend of mine travels through occasionally and stays at my place with her dog. Georgia loves that potty. And because of that every time she sees one, she wants to play.

At the vet’s one time, she started ‘talking’ to some guy’s pitty. He got irritated and said “Is your dog trying to pick a fight with my dog?”

I said “No, not at all. I know she has an angry looking face, but trust me she’s saying she loves him.” She likes most dogs, but she totally adores pit bulls.

Georgia is the best. That's all there is to it.

 

[Zazie]

But they're definitely not feeling any pain.

I hope the same holds for you now.

Has anyone seen @Skeebo lately?

 

[Zazie]

P.S. Happy birthday, @Eskie!

AngeNZ, what one did you get?

Coffee machine? I got a really basic pump based one. So many of them now just use pods or are semi-automated. Which is a pita if you like strong esppressos

No, not since he posted his turtle babies - he needs to come back and post some more

I, too, just ordered a basic espresso machine using airmiles --- a delonghi 3420 manual machine. I'll need it soon as my Rivo machine has been discontinued for a few years and keurig just stopped carrying the pods for them (I know, a pod machine, but it works quite well, 15 bars, and puts out decent shots ... and I can be lazy). I also have a hand-pumped portable unit (nanopresso), which is fine for camping, but not so much for daily home use.

Not for quite a while. I've added him to my worry list.

 

[Zazie]

Speaking of that list, I haven't had a response from @ShowMeTwice yet.

Ordered a new espresso machine - which completely blew my shiny budget for the week. But mine is leaking and stopped steaming milk. It survived 4 years of my caffeine habit, so it well and truly earned its retirement

There's 2 things I won't live without - strong flat whites, and vaping

Agreed, espresso is the elixir of life

 

[Fidola13]

Yes, go for the YFTK V3 as it's in the same mold as the earlier ones... Be sure to check 3fvape for the V2 before you commit though as they may have it. If not the V3 will be fine. I have it but haven't built it yet. It's been on my desk with the other 10ish RDTA's/rda's which I haven't got around to building yet

sound like me with my plethora of atties still in their sealed boxes lol!! But I keep buying more especially those on clearance are hard to pass up!!

Well, a friend of mine gave me a Vaporesso Gen tonight. He didn't quite like it, so when I walked in the shop.....he said, "here Rob, it's yours". Just popped my SKRR tank on it, and "Away we go".

SKRR tank and single mesh GT coil is worthy. At 70W, the taste is simply amazing.

 

[Letitia]

Nice score, suspect the gen will make the top 5 list this year.

would still like to get a gen... black and red.

morning all.
no movement for the only two things I'm tracking.
coffee. i only drink it at work but the fancy machines they have make a nice drop. don't bother with the steaming milk malarkey. double espresso, half a cup of boiling water and a glug of cold milk to make it easier to quaff more quickly. couple of those then on to earl grey or herbals.

@charlie1465, building PC's isn't that bad in real life. Everything just slots together.

Picking parts is more daunting.

But one big tip I can give you, is with image and video editing you'll need a good processor as well as a decent amount of RAM. AMD Ryzen Threadripper range of CPU's may be of interest.

And don't forget that you can use TV's as a Display with PC's nowadays, as HDMI out has become standard. It's quite good good experience with wireless peripherals and a 50 inch panel.

Thanks....
Are you saying that a TV makes a better monitor than a purpose built ?

 

[lupinehorror]

one of said machines and the coffee I'm currently making. it is quite shiny

I'd always use a proper monitor for editing etc. HP make some excellent value models.

You can't beat the little authentic Italian stove pots. I'll find a link in a minute. Makes a wicked morning coffee and as we all know Italian coffee is really very good.

Just put it on the stove top and bring to the boil.... Don't leave it on for too long and Bob is indeed your uncle.

Andrew, did you find the Ataman V2 on 3fvape ?

 

[charlie1465]

Me too, I've got around 15 on my desk still awaiting a proper look and several more in the drawer. I got some more atty stand rings so I've no excuse not to set them up and start enjoying the vape
