What was the dumbest way you ever injured yourself?
  • Just a few hours after building my first 3D printer and running a test print, I stabbed my palm trying to trim some extraneous plastic from the model.

  • How difficult was it for you to abandon a social media website for a fediverse alternative?
  • Didn't care, just deleted. Only told my wife who would wonder why I stopped following her.

  • Public Betas are out, who's going in?
  • So far, so good. The UI changes will take a bit of getting used to. I haven't learned a quick way to change faces, assuming there is one.

    The new Snoopy face is outstanding.

    Love the Standby mode in iOS.

  • Apple Music or Spotify? what do you use and why?
  • Apple Music because it's part of my Apple One subscription. I'd use it over Spotify regardless.

    I only pay for one other music related subscription...SiriusXM

  • Public Betas are out, who's going in?
  • Been waiting for the iOS and watchOS PBs. I'm updating both now.

  • What are you addicted to?
  • Haribo Gummy Bears.

    And coffee.

    But not together.

  • My Haribo order arrived
  • It's probably not a lot different than the MK3s. Just some upgraded components but it looks like they're all in the same place. The extruder looks a bit more complicated.

  • What size my Bialetti Moka Express is? I'm in need of new gasket set but can't find 10 cup version anywhere.
  • Mine is a 3 cup version and has "X17" on the bottom so I don't know that 10 is the size. That base is definitely larger than mine. Fill it to just below the safety valve and measure that. Mine is right around 130ml

  • Why would anyone want to be a moderator?
  • I'm a glass-half-empty person. My views of a situation tend toward the negative so to me, the desire to be a mod stems from the enjoyment of saying "That's not allowed!"

    I know there are those who want to keep a community safe and assure the policies are enforced but if it means they get to swat someone's nose and say "No, bad member", all the better.

  • Lemmy.world thinks I'm logged out clicking link from Mastodon post

    Odd situation...

    I look at my fediverse sites using Safari. I have accounts on both universodon.com and lemmy.world. I'm logged in to both. I follow a community from lemmy.world and see posts from it in my Mastodon timeline when the community boosts the post.

    If I click on a link back to a post on lemmy.world from the post I see in my Mastodon timeline, Safari opens the link in a new tab but lemmy.world doesn't think I'm logged in.

    Here's the odd part...if I right-click the same link in the same post on Mastodon and say "Open in a new tab", Safari opens the link in a new tab but lemmy.world knows I'm logged in.

    Am I missing something? Aren't those actions supposed to be identical? Why would Lemmy not think I'm logged unless I manually open the link in a new tab? Is this a bug related the lemmy hack that happened a few days ago?

    What Creamer do you prefer? Anyone sitting on a gem?
  • It's an old family recipe. I'm not at liberty to divulge it.

  • What Creamer do you prefer? Anyone sitting on a gem?
  • For non-espresso, half & half. For espresso-based drinks, Califia Farms Barista Blend oat milk.

    Edit: Added "based drinks" to avoid any confusion

  • What's your favorite type of salad?
  • A good antipasto salad, but with Italian meats like salami, prosciutto, or pepperoni, Kalamata olives, garbanzo beans, mozzarella cheese, lettuce (obviously), Roma tomatoes, oil and balsamic vinegar dressing.

  • What ordinary everyday thing do you really like?
  • A hot shower anytime.

  • My coffee station
  • The Opus is ok. I was really excited for it to come out since I wanted a grinder that could do pour over and espresso. I like the anti-static tech but the all-plastic build is a bit of a let down. It works well, is easy to dial in but I think my next grinder will be more metal.

    The Decent is fantastic! True the settings seem overwhelming but it comes with a ton of presets that all you need to do is load the portafilter, pick a preset and hit a button. I was making great shots on day 1 without a lot of fiddling around. Once you get the hang of the settings, it's fun to experiment with other presets or even make your own.

  • My coffee station
  • It is. I got it from Etsy.

  • My coffee station

    A couple of Airscape canisters for beans, Aeropress rack, Fellow Stag kettle, Fellow Opus grinder, Decent DE1 espresso machine.

    How dangerous is it really?
  • First, take a class on riding. The Motorcycle Safety Foundation (MSF) and many Harley dealers offer them. An advantage is that passing the class will give you the endorsement on your DL, which you need to legally ride.

    Next, start small. Getting used to a smaller bike will help you get a feel for how to deal with the nuances of controlling a bike and how to deal with traffic. As others have said, get the right gear and use it. Even if your state doesn't have a helmet law, wear one.

    When you're ready to move up, you can easily sell the smaller bike and get the one you want.

    And when you're out on the road, assume nobody can see you. Be vigilant and always look for a way out of a situation.

  • Text size setting doesn't affect comments in your profile in V0.0.1 (79)

    I just submitted some feedback about the text size setting not being reflected in your own list of comments in your profile. It only seems to affect the list of comments, not posts.

  • I found the keyboard opens when you tap the search bar but it will go away if you tap anywhere else.

  • Can't decide on a grinder
  • Go with the Ode V2. They’re much quieter and with the anti-static feature, much cleaner. I had a V1 with SSP burrs and thought it was great for everything except espresso.

    I replaced it with an Opus after I got an espresso machine.
