Just got some Deadly Sin coffee beans.

The taste for me is great, strong but smooth, not the burnt taste some stronger coffee’s have. A blend of Robusta and Arabica beans hence the higher strength.

It’s tough commenting on-line suggesting foods, drinks, movies etc to others, it’s all a very personal preference.

Wow, my error not seeing the article date, sorry about that. It popped up on my feed this am. Better look more carefully in the future.

Crickey 12 hours, that’s interesting as residual current would normally be drawn after power removed. Depending on the voltage on the capacitor a resistor would discharge it. Make sure it’s not pulling too much discharge current if you try that.

A reset sometimes needs the button held depressed for a while, 10-30 seconds.

The Spade Toothed Whales are interesting but because of their rarity, very little is known about them, and their habitat preferences.

The oceans, given their extreme depths in some places, must contain many creatures never seen by man before.

That’s great work Dave,

I was using Memmy, but this long post wouldn’t display properly so I went to a browser to read it and found the "which app" question that shows Voyager as most popular, a quick download and that’s what I’m on now, and it works great.

I bet you could hear them sh*ting themselves !!

We’ve got a huge power outage up here in the Far North, seems there’s a Transpower problem cutting off power to the whole of the Far North.

Luckily we have a UPS for Internet until the battery runs down.

Edit: It’s still off after 2 hours. Apparently a transmission pylon tower collapsed, no further info, but oh boy, this will likely take a while to fix I suspect.

Edit2: Power came back on after around 5 hours.

Glad to see you got the fan working. Well done 👍

Happy Birthday, and thanks Dave for your untiring efforts in keeping it going 👍👍

Got my hearing aids and boy do they make a big difference for me.

I’d suffered from a very reduced high frequency hearing so everything sounded muffled. They tested my ears and set the aids up to compensate.

We have a big surround sound tv system, and I was concerned the aids would impact it. But no, it sounds great, the bass/midrange is good and I can now clearly hear the voices, though that does somewhat depend on the source as a lot of modern movies and tv series have gabbled and unclear voices anyway.

My aids have an app that can slightly adjust the sound, so played with that a bit, but to be honest, I don’t think I’ll need to tweak the basic setup.

The only thing that currently stands out, and it a tad annoying, is the aids amplify my own voice when I speak. Makes to me my voice sound echoey and louder than I’m used to.

Will give them a longer run and see how it goes …

I’ve signed up for Lemmy.nz after the huge delays to my comments via Lemmy.world. Had better think of something to comment about now. Will definitely comment once I get my hearing aids on Monday.
