The costs you are minimizing are extremely high. Things like engineering, cost of manufacture, heck even the cost of a higher quality motor with less play/tight tolerances is vastly more expensive than you are letting on. Figure parts costs alone on a base model grinder are around 20 dollars for a 200 dollar sale price. Most of these are probably in the 200 dollar range with more time required to assemble.

In comparing a <200 dollar grinder to a 700 dollar grinder like the niche, the difference is night and day for parts, layout, and requirements for output. Plus the cost of higher quality burr sets and tight tolerance burr carriers.

The per unit costs associated with what is required to produce a small output, high quality part is high. How many units do you think each one of these companies makes? Compare that to baratza or kitchen aid. It’s not even in the same ballpark.

Obviously it goes towards insanity with the 3k dollar plus units, but then again many of them are commercial focused and can happily churn out hundreds of pounds of ground beans. Or into fully billet cnc machines one offs.

A car is a solved problem. So please, buy a used Honda civic and use it to haul 10 tons of stone up a steep incline. Day in and day out.

A bit hyperbolic, but the issue is one of specialization and volume. These grinders see small sales and have very special configurations. To produce something like that costs more money than a spinning wheel grinder. On the other hand it is consistent in scope and output with many issues resolved via many production iterations or through manufacturing processes which are difficult to scale.

Yes at some point the prices to benefit ratio drops, but seriously, grinders (next to the beans themselves) are the most important part in the taste of your coffee. Don’t you feel like you deserve the best?

It just plays different. Once you get a bit further than an hour or 4 in, it clicks. Frustrating at first as the difficulty has a technique ramp and some rather hard seeming enemies.

Hellpoint is also a lot of fun.

Lords of the fallen is good, though some of the bosses and ranged enemies are annoying. Need a powerful machine due to the optimization and bugs, daily patches for most of the week.

Same!

There is a chance it’s “outside” in some sort of deep box but that seems unlikely unless you are in the south.

You need a plumber unfortunately and if you really don’t have one it might be a grand or more. Schedule with water company to turn it off at the street, cut, add a good modern shutoff in a useful location (which might require changing layout) and so on.

Good luck, but I would not do it myself based on the comments so far. Just fyi.

That wasn’t quite the question. He is up for 44 federal charges and 8? In ny state I believe.

If charged in ga there could be any number of charges there and the door is open to more related to the violence itself. All depends on the evidence.

It’s… fine.

The sound is terrible overall, horrible mixing with some things loud and some quiet.

Graphics are pretty but not good. Stop frame looks great, but the animation that happens over and over is terrible. Things like sheathing a sword are poorly timed and just… jarring.

Luminance is off. It just seems to sdr to hdr expand and not add anything useful. So you have the old school grey haze on most scenes. Possibly to lower gpu use.

You MUST turn on action mode. The pretty mode is terrible with massive frame drops.

Battles are a mess. Could be fun, should be fun, but the graphics look like they drop to 480p with pretty colors and it’s impossible to see anything. You end up just timing button presses by rote bs what your see.

It’s ok. If you want to see characters say the word “fuck” over and over again and that is the basis on your decision, it’s a must buy. Otherwise personally I would wait for patches and a significant sale.

It’s in another room. For the ps4 I installed an external Bluetooth antenna. Might do the same for the ps5 eventually.

Yep. Already doing that, but going back to wireless would be nice. Oh well.

Nvm. Seems to have been something on the instance and just coincidence I had updated. Was just getting the cache I am guessing. When the lemmy instance came back up it started working.

But: Changing the order doesn’t function. Ie going from hot to new has no effect. Anyone else have this issue.

Thank you to the devs for working on everything! Very appreciated.

Neocon/trumpers/racists are coming on various federated lemmy systems. Once there they are posting rando crap and pushing people to ignore the basic requirements most lemmy system admins have setup. No hate, no bigotry, no racism.

Beans, grinder, technique. Then machine.

I’ve had a number of machines (decent now) and it isn’t required to make something really good. Learn the basic techniques to get the flow and pressure right with your unit of choice. Dual boiler or switched boiler (either steam or brew via a switch) is my suggestion there, as the heat exchangers are great, but you have to play with them to know how it works.
