Ok, I just looked it up and the Ascaso Uno is a thermoblock design, while the Sanremo Cube is an HX machine with a full on steam boiler. Therefore, the Ascaso wouldn't even have instant on steaming and has basically no stand-by power u

This seems very interesting, at least from a pure coffee nerd standpoint and what it could mean for improving espresso brewing in general. However, I'm going through the research paper, and am a bit skeptical of the energy savings angl

I agree, we need more permanent measures. I'm tired of seeing these bills pop up over and over and having to play whack-a-mole. Any suggestions?

The comment you've replied to is clearly not "partisan bluster". While it may be a tad hyperbolic, with the Stanley Cup line, it's driving a valid point that while Canada is facing a number of very real challenges, the g

That's what I was thinking, sounds just like the Volt. The Volt was a very practical vehicle, drove great and cost so little to fuel up. Most weeks I owned the Volt I wouldn't put gas in it, in fact I would go so long without usin

I'm shocked you can't see how this is a potential conflict of interest. You don't need to know the exact outcome of the SC decision to have confidence that things will land in your favor. There are certainly all kinds of high

Been writing my local officials to try to get some attention on this, I encourage others to do the same. Typical Canadian government red tape that we really don't need in this current climate especially.

Very valid points, especially considering a project like the Bruce B reactors (large project just north of this site) were (inflation adjusted) built for around ~6B CAD / GW in the late 1970s. This is 3x the cost of that, and we'r

Framework 13, 11th Gen Intel, running Fedora 41. I've gone through many Fedora upgrades since buying this in 2021, my unit was I think the 3rd batch of the original laptops. Everything generally has worked fine over the years, though I

Using electricity to make steel isn't novel - if you consider electric arc furnaces (which can be powered by renewable energy). This does seem to be a fairly novel and cool approach though (eliminates coke), but it still looks quite en

That's why I like my Chevy Volt. It has a couple different drive modes selectable with the shifter. Under the normal drive mode the regen braking is controlled by a little paddle on the wheel or during regular braking (hitting brake pe

The developer behind this is Ben Feist, he built this as a hobby project (at the time his day job was in advertising). It inevitably did lead him to a job at NASA working on data visualizations.

N-Acetylcysteine (NAC) has been studied in relation to a myriad of psychiatric disorders with a lot of positive results. It works as an antioxidant and neuro-regulator. For some reason it was recently pulled from supplement classification i

I also have issues with vPro battery drain. I accidently bought the vPro AX210 wifi module, with a non vPro capable processor, but it still seems to cause issues. I guess it's a wifi module specific problem, even though vPro should not
