I don’t particularly like using vinyl but it’s quick and easy but the not being perfect does annoy

I could use a plasti dip spray that sets like vinyl and will peel off, but gives a painted finish. Allowing me to go back to stainless polished should I want

Ernie1 those photoshops look great.

It reminds me, does anyone know if the new laser cut drip trays fit my machine? Or are the drip trays different

CoyoteOldMan

Cuprajake No idea if the drip trays are the same or different, but the laser-cut tray is 125.5 × 292 mm (I only have a 200 mm caliper, so the width was taken with a steel ruler).

CoyoteOldMan Pedant alert.

Steel rule.

Rulers rule countries.

CoyoteOldMan

PortafilterProcrastinator To pedant… pedant and a half. Nope. What you mentioned is an incorrect rule.

https://www.collinsdictionary.com/dictionary/english/ruler (see sense 2)

https://www.collinsdictionary.com/dictionary/english/rule (see sense 8 - thus less frequent; not in Cobuild, which is more representative of ‘common use in English’)

The OED (not free to access online) mentions the sense you quote at No. 13. a. - but look at the definition:

a. A straight-edged rectangle, square, or (formerly) cylinder of metal, wood, plastic, or some other material, typically marked at regular intervals and used to draw straight lines or measure distances; a ruler. [my emphasis]

Still the OED under ‘ruler’, mentions the sense above at No. 3. a. - much earlier, and thus with greater frequency of use than a word used at its 13th meaning (out of 22).

CoyoteOldMan Definitions shmefinitions.

OED put Goblin Mode in last year 🤣

Plenty online on the origin of rule, down to whether you measure from the very end or a little way in.

We can agree to disagree!

Cuprajake I’ll use that next time… 😁

CoyoteOldMan

PortafilterProcrastinator We can agree to disagree, not least because that was the sense of my post: both are legitimate, “ruler” is more common - however picking a fight on definitions to then say “definitions shmefinitions”… is way beyond Goblin Mode. It’s full Troll Emulation. 😁

(and yes, I know what ‘Goblin Mode’ means, and it’s nothing to do with trolls)

Merry Christmas (or whatever else you celebrate). 🎅

My hole is approx 130*295 so it may just fit

Once a month I like to treat the wood and lube the surfaces

I use these two products

Amberale

The Studmistress and one of our good friends used to “debate” long into the evening over which one was the Pedantic Semant and which one the Semantic Pedant.

Crown and canvas order finally arrived

Just had to open the Ethiopian first, vanilla, blood orange and strawberries. Just had to

and? 😊

Cuprajake

You get the orange, and a nice lingering sweetness long after it’s been drank. Nice I like it.

Cuprajake

Dropped the shower screen for the first time in like 5 weeks, I hate that clip 🤣 screen spotless well impressed.

Opened the other crown and canvas coffee today, really tasted the grapefruit

CoyoteOldMan

Cuprajake I hate that clip

If you are not using the single-spouted portafilter, the spring clip from that is a perfect replacement for the circlip.

Cuprajake

I have a light clip in there some times, I have just put the ims screen in for a try with that clip.

It’s my 40th birthday today, so had a few presents to open, I don’t like a fuss

I’d asked for a new matching normcore funnel and the family got me a little cup as a surprise

But as per with my usual luck, the funnel doesn’t fit the 54mm baskets

And the cup has a crack in the bottom. To be looks like the seller knew as they have glazed over the hole 🤬

Cuprajake I would recommend never wasting money on the lottery.
