I’m probably the last person that should be answering this, just getting into espresso myself, but you can buy a mesh filter that goes between the espresso and the machine. They’re pretty inexpensive and can help protect the screen from making contact with your puck. I believe they’re also supposed to help with water distribution?

Make sure there aren’t any clocks/screens in the video that expose you lol

what a great way to keep people on reddit lol

I’m so sorry, sending love your way. People can change, and it may take you moving on from them and finding more loving and supportive community for that time happen, but it’s not something you can/should be expected to force. You deserve supportive people in your life! They’re out there and ready to accept you with open arms ❤️

I want to be optimistic about this, but given the (lack of) regulation and privacy protections that we have as US citizens, LOL 🤡

Noooo don’t use water unless you’re in a climate that NEVER freezes. I drove my grandpa’s car to Utah from Seattle and used the wiper fluid as I was coming down snoqualmie pass and froze the whole windshield because he had put water in and I almost died. DO NOT use water unless you’re 100% sure your car will never be in freezing temperatures.

And to answer the main question, you should be good to use any wiper fluid.

It’s the same reason my complex can force me to pay $100 for Xfinity while my neighbor pays $30 for the exact same service (because they’re in a house).

Yeah posting is like walking on eggshells. Too many rules that aren’t always obvious/easy to find. Or that time I got auto banned from r/news for responding to someone on r/conservative with my liberal perspective…

So far so good! It’s been cool to see activity slowly pick up over the last few days

I’m on iOS beta testing the Mlem app and that’s already improved a lot over the last few days, too.

I’m really optimistic about Lemmy, it feels like cool things are happening here!

I’m hoping we band together enough on here so that we don’t ever have to think about Reddit again

[–] ericthered926@lemm.ee 2 points 1 year ago

Agreed! It’s a little rough right now, but it honestly feels like Reddit did years ago. I hope we get enough action over here to pull people away for good
