Emooze

I can generally taste the difference. The bad has a certain taste to me that's just absent in good vodka. Favorite cheap stuff is still Russian Standard and if I could get Karlsson's here, that would be my premium go-to. My 2 cents: I have tried the brita filter trick with crappy product and the change is not insignificant. 5 runs through a normal, disposable filter got rid of most of the harsh, nasty flavor. The only cost was an hour of my time and a filter that now makes water taste like vodka.

Hmmm, that is true. I could bring... adult refreshments.

I'm 90% sure I'll be there and I'll need a room for Friday and Saturday night.

I've got a 9" Peugeot and my only issue with it is the knob holding to top loosens when I grind. I've yet to fully investigate why this happens but it doesn't affect me using it. Like Bruce said, it tends to lean towards a finer grind. Has anyone used one of the brass mills from Pepper Mill Imports?

Briefed a Major General (2 star). It was a little nerve wracking to stand in front of a man 7 grades above you with a PhD in everything.

It sounds like you are looking for an active voltage regulator. I'm not immediately aware of any DIY solutions. But a few years back I got recommended an AVR by Perma Power and does exactly what you're looking for. Nice and cheap for a used one if you look around.

Met my commander's commander's commander's vice (3 star), saw an absolutely terrible and gruesome traffic safety briefing and was part of a base retreat ceremony.

Apparently they keep going in and out of style. They went away for a while and came back as "apple strudel" flavor. Now it seems they are gone again. Possibly the only flavor I would consider buying now if I saw it in a store.

I'd definitely be interested in building a balanced version. Higher voltage of course.

I checked all the boxes because I could. Pop Tarts were good snacks I could hide in my uniform pockets during training. Haven't touched them since.

My vote is investing those 20-40 euros and coming back in 500 years when the value allows purchase of a full orchestra to follow you around.

That's Pugachev's Cobra if I'm not mistaken: http://en.wikipedia....ugachev's_Cobra Those Russian fighters are nuts, as seen in the Su-47:

I'm with you there. Blew through the first 4 books during my 2 weeks of traveling and just bought The Prefect to start tonight.

Helped my special forces friend move some furniture. I have never felt so weak and inadequate...

The other weekend I made DOUBLE Bacon Vodka Sauce. I put freshly fried bacon in it but also used what little I had left of my Bakon vodka in the sauce too. It tasted as good as it sounds.

Not sure how to embed from Vimeo, but here it is in motion: https://vimeo.com/11150979#

Thank you for your opinion, I will file that away with the rest of the trivial and useless information I've read

I was a beautiful day but instead I spent from 0430 to 1530 at work.

No... I've got a block of 5 year old Gouda I've been working on bit by bit.

That's the one. Feeling slightly stupid for not finding it last time... Anyways, if I can get a board design that works (perhaps one approved by our viking overlord), I'm not opposed to buying a bunch of them for everyone.

I was actually working on a PCB for my last alpha pot. The one prototype I had made has the pin spacing all messed up and I haven't gotten around to fixing it. Birgir, do you have a mechanical drawing of the pot?

Checking in, just finished watching the latest episode. I think my blood pressure is still up a little. I'm assuming it's still a little early to know when the next/final season starts?

Indeed, base is closed for the next two days and I might leave if my power goes out.

Livewire, do you have a part number for that Antek? Doesn't appear to be listed on their site.

I'm so confused. Experience tends to make me think you should just toss the wire and recable the whole damn thing if your intent is to salvage them
