That’s somehow even worse than “Jim will fix it”, even with the subsequent revelations

Wankclown here for me

All in all it’s just another turd on the wall

Rule 34 perhaps? Meaning there must be porn of a car infotainment system out there somewhere

Yes, it’s called Bovril as it’s basically that already

I’ll preface them by saying this is me being critical of it, it is otherwise very good:

• the bellows don’t stay attached, everytime I take the lid off to put beans in I have to reattach them in place
• grind adjustment dial is obscured by the indicator such that you can’t read what it’s set to easily
• adjustment indicator can itself be moved without changing grind size
• bellows tend to blow the fresh grounds everywhere, especially the fines at the end
• as a leftie, the switch is in an irritating position

Don’t stick your dinky were you wouldn’t stick your pinkie

Please do not fap into your coffee grinder, it’ll really increase the retention with all the stickiness. I fear you may have confused grinder with Grindr here

Fantastic grinder, got one a few months back and absolutely love it. Has a few quirks and I can never not laugh at the bellows, but produces generally tasty coffee with minimal dialling in

Turns out knives you can eat a surprising number of before it kills you

Account of a Man Who Lived Ten Years, after Having Swallowed a Number of Clasp-Knives

The stories that man could tell, bonus points if he has his dog Gromit with him

I don’t know if there’s any legal implications, but morally it’s pretty abhorrent. The question I’d be asking is would you even want to work for a company that engages in that type of tactic, especially since they’re likely to repeat that kind of nonsense after you’ve started the job.

What? No Penistone?

Really simple

“Bollocks”

I would have also put 20 down on an expired certificate

You can use old machines for all kinds of servers, I’ve got a stack of old laptops running a Kubernetes cluster, but synapse would push some of them possibly further than they can go so I have it on my more powerful NAS, and even then it isn’t exactly speedy at times

Lots of decent suggestions here so not going to repeat them, but I do have a couple of my own if using synapse:

• have plenty of RAM
• have plenty of CPU
• have plenty of DB storage space
• use Postgres as your database, SQLite sucks

Basically synapse is just a resource hog, and you need to plan for that. The database itself grows quicker than you’d expect as well

I’m most familiar (although casually) either UK/EU rules, and this page has an excellent breakdown of what’s considered the bare minimum this side of the pond for safety.

Personally I prefer to have a 20-30 min break every 2 hours which leaves me feeling sufficiently refreshed, and conveniently works perfectly for changing a 64kWh EV enough to do the next leg at the same ratio. I honestly believe switching to an EV has forced me to become a safer driver with regard to taking breaks.

I was wondering if this was similar to the Baltic Fleet and going down the comments looking for a reference. Lemmy did not disappoint

Most welcome, and really enjoying this thread for recommendations myself. Others I’ve been to in person in the last 12 months now I’ve had to think about it:

• Origin coffee, Cornwall - fantastic roastery café, very friendly staff.
• Buxton coffee roasters, Peak District - generally seem to be darker roasts but have some interesting ideas. Sadly doesn’t have a café
• Foundation coffee, Manchester - used to have a lot more in store than is currently online, not sure what’s going on. Two very nice cafés though
• ManCoCo, Manchester - white lie, didn’t go myself in person, but friend I was with did to get me a surprise gift as we were <5 mins away. Was a tasty coffee but can’t comment further.

Places I personally avoid from experience:

• Chatsworth house restaurant blend - had this in a Christmas hamper for the past few years, goes straight in the bin as it is undrinkably dark for my taste
• Pippas London - a front for a huge white label coffee distribution warehouse. Coffee was nice enough, but prefer to support small batch roasters.

Personally I really enjoy the whole going to the roastery and seeing what they have, trying a few things out etc, so I’m heavily biased towards what’s available to me locally. I’ve got The Nocturn to try when I next run out of Kickback, but as I’ve never tried any I can’t pass any judgement.
