Weren't those numbers bullshit that was made by plastic bag manufacturers with dumb unrealistic assumptions or am I thinking of something else?

I had a Deering Good Time 2 over a decade ago and had learned some basic 5-string rolls and claw hammer technique. I hope I remember some of it. (Haven't started playing yet, need strings and maybe a new bridge)

I bought more garbage ~1981 Hondo HD-999, with the D meaning factory DiMarzio pickups. Sounds great, but is in mediocre shape  1990s/2000s Harmony acoustic. Made in China. Plays amazing, somehow. Cost 1/4 of what I paid for the Hondo  Framed wood block/linoleum print. No idea who it is, when it was made, or who made it, but I liked it so I bought it  A painting of Teddy Roosevelt that is signed and dated on the back. Looking up the artist I found they did a LOT of Star Wars stuff in the same style. I'll stick with Teddy. Also, Bing's Image search was able to find the artists posting of it on Pinterest. Google tried to sell me a picture frame.

I was going to customize them with "Buy" and "Sell" just gently caress with my co-workers since we're not at all involved in trading (one would be a macro for new purchase order and the other would be for new invoice), but a big "gently caress This in Particular" button is growing on me.

Nice keyboard! I need a new keyboard but first i have to find a new headset with an actual mute button on it because these days i spend so much time pacing during calls and not having a mute on my headphones is killing me. (If anyone has a recommendation for a good pair of conference headphones with a loving mute button let me know)

I rarely post here anymore but I'm sort of mostly out of debt again so I celebrated with some audio gear and these: I'm DJing a friend's party soon and it's a 'Strawberry Spcial'; everyone has to wear red. I've got my red tracksuit, a Ferrari F1 hat, and now these. I'm gonna look like such an idiot, it'll be great fun.

I've been looking for this stupid record for what feels like forever and I finally found it. I've only seen it for sale for a hundred bucks or more on the English language internet, and between Cyrillic and the war the Russian internet I have encountered has been a total poo poo show. Finally found a place with a really sketchy looking website but one single-use credit card number later this baby was mine for like 35 bucks. Here is the actual music on youtube, if you like iron maiden you will probably like aria

Needed something to put all my wallet/tech/valuables as a carry on when I go on vacation, didn't want to throw them in the checked bag with my clothing. So I bought a sling bag because i was not quite ready to commit to a fanny pack, but as I age I fear that day and time is nearing.

The backpack has been good and is still in great shape, but I have found it gets uncomfortable over long times because the straps aren't anything special. I probably could have solved that by using the dividers as shelves so the weight of what I'm carrying is higher than just clumped up in the bottom and dragging it down... but also I like shopping.

H110Hawk posted:Beetroot baby! Always get fun colors! Glad to hear that. It was hilarious, my first pot was AWFUL. Second onwards are much better. The tips I found that worked for me were: - Always rinse your filter - A bloom phase for the coffee — switch the machine on, wait til a little coffee comes out, switch machine off, wait like 30-40 seconds, turn machine on again. - Stir the grounds halfway through Obviously these extra steps kinda defeat the purpose of an automatic coffee maker, but they made a big difference. Anyway, enjoy it. My Moccamaster was the first step that sent me tumbling down a coffee nerd rabbit hole. Next thing I knew there was $600 worth of coffee gear in my kitchen and I’m buying beans from some dude roasting wet-hulled Sumatran in his garage.

Thanks! I mean $600 isn't a big reach from the $393 after tax machine I have now. Most of the grinders in the coffee thread are the same. Thankfully I don't have real GAS when it comes to coffee. We have really great roasters near us but I've managed not to get hooked. Yet. And yeah I'm not doing any of that.  Part of the appeal was 5 minute pots.

Jealous! The only thing that made me get a Breville over this was the fact that it does the bloom automatically. Also it was a half-price open box from a closing Crate & Barrel Joke's on me though, the insulated carafe doesn't drain completely unless you open the top. Having regrets, but my partner will immediately murder me if I decide to drop another 3 figures on another drip machine
