I have the Baratza 270w, I’m really glad I payed up for the model. It’s just so easy...hit the button and it weighs your beans. Mine crapped out yesterday, 270wi. I was tardy with cleaning and ran some grindz to clean. It was too late, had to remove the burrs and clean it out. The display won’t lig...

my argument is that facebook is a publisher, not merely a distributor. my remark on (scary) algorithms goes to the heart of this - they don't merely "sort by new". my publisher argument is buttressed by facebook employee mark zuckerberg when he told congress that facebook is responsible f...

indeed, as it's clear you don't understand how facebook works, how they make money, and why they're really good at it. hint: it's not by sorting timelines by new. facebook itself has argued in court that they're a publisher, when it suits their interest. also clear you don't understand the impact o...

in reality, s230 creates a lot of problems for everyone because the gray area is the largest area; what do you do in this case vs this case? etc. this is exacerbated by the reality that there exists very few options to run a tech company or content platform without using a handful of massively scal...

You can expand that question and include CT. Will you be sued for a bad wine review? The writer has always been subject to suit for a bad wine review. The issue is whether Todd or Eric can be sued over a bad wine review posted by someone else to WB or CT. Section 230 protects a platform from being ...

ybarselah

think of s230 as adding a reasonable gray area. the paradigm prior to s230 was that if you were a platform and you engaged in any moderation, you were treated as a publisher and not a distributor. by being classified as the former, you were exposing yourself to liability for content posted on your p...

Yes, coffee not espresso. We have the Moccamaster. I’ll look into those suggested above. The one that died was a Solis, which looks exactly like the Baratza Encore. Thank you all! given their track record, reasonable pricing, ease of repair, etc., you'd have to try really hard to come up with an al...

seems a ton of retailers use wine fetch for the ecomm needs. I've certainly used it a ton as a customer. what do you think of it? where does it excel and where does it fall short? thanks so much!

Also I'm having to log in CONSTANTLY. 2, 3 times a day??? On mac and iPhone. this is an old one (many years) that is unrelated.

well, maybe update the thread title to something like "a single, unnamed retailer, coincidentally in NYC, won't hold for shipping of wine that I am not actually purchasing" .... ?

ybarselah

anything is possible, advisable is unlikely. if the surface isn't holding up, i'd reach out https://www.lecreuset.com/warranty-claim.html

ybarselah

given that there are hundreds of NYC retailers and that this alleged policy is totally insane, there is no value to this post unless you name the retailer.

well, i like cote-rotie a lot, so i'm still interested lol. these two sentences did standout: I think we all know the 2015 Benetiere story and the highly variable bottles.

not sure this matters at this point given what clearly happened in the interim, but JLL rated the 2015, 2016, and 2017 all very highly in a march of 2018 tasting (wrote that the 2016 would be bottled in April 2016 which I guess never happened?). not notes on 2018 or 2019 - yet. unsure if anyone els...

I've been buying at auction for 20+ years, backfilling old favorites. I've purchased well over 200 bottles from Winebid, HDH, TCWC, Brentwood & recently Acker auction houses - can't recall a single bad bottle. Many of these purchases were wines 30, 40, 50 years old. this is my takeaway. i suppo...

I'm still blissful in my ignorance as I have been using the same Braun blade grinder for 30+ years, but I gotta tell you, this looked really interesting. I just purchased a salad spinner by this manufacturer and it is really well detailed and well made. (plus warrantied for life) If this grinder is...

I thought I had submitted some safe, high bids today. But yikes, I got smoked on most lots. Good to see some of these wines getting proper attention though! As for the Napa wines that went 2-3x high estimate, I'm not sure this will move the needle in a meaningful way for future results. the Chave p...

I've had multiple models over the years and it's clear they are very committed to this vertical. very solid cs and obviously buying from amazon makes it zero risk. I think I’ve used a “lite” version of this one most recently where the espresso will brew after turning it on, then continuously brew u...

this one is probably easy; remove the notifications at the top when a like comes in, or make it a user setting. since the software doesn't visually differentiate between a like notification and a reply notification, they are treated the same. a reply notification is significantly more important to t...

As previously mentioned, I plan to post a poll with each of the system's features, and the whole 'like' system as well, and have the community vote on what stays, what goes. i doubt this will make any difference whatsoever, but I strongly recommend not doing this. it's your site. you should decide ...

Whilst I like thumbs, I'm not liking the current implementation, where the counts are below our profile pics. It makes it look like a popularity context, which isn't a good look. The positive feature of a 'thumb' is merely a thumb up of appreciation or support for a post. No more and no less. I'd a...
