Coffee Maker
Technivorm has an option for a manual drip stop model if you want to avoid having to stir the beans to help with initial coverage. I kinda regret not getting that option so I could let the beans bloom a bit with the initial drip. However, I also know that on more than one occasion, I would probably forget to flip the switch and end up with coffee spilling out the brew basket while I'm distracted making breakfast.

- Mass College Admission Cheating Scandal
It is easy to tease out income from the data points in the actual application. Married, 2 kids, father-investment banker, mother-pharmacist vs Single mom, 3 kids, mother-housekeeper at Embassy Suites hotel. We didn't fill out FASFA until after the applications were submitted, but I know for a fact that the schools could pinpoint a solid range for our family income/socioeconomic status beforehand. I have no clue how much that truly factored into any acceptance decisions, but it's fine if it did.- Mass College Admission Cheating Scandal
We just went through the application process this year. The applications have family marital status, number of siblings, educational level of both parents and if they are currently employed/what is their occupation. Most of the essays have an option to discuss how you dealt with or overcame adversity. There is ample information for schools to take an educated guess about a kids socioeconomic advantages or disadvantages. I am perfectly fine with schools factoring in data like this. The rich kids will do just fine. If they didn't get into UT, I am sure they got accepted to about 5-10 other schools that will provide a quality education that their parents will pay for and they will come out debt free on the other side.- Ski Season 2020/2021

See what I mean about finding puddles under Triumphs. You just can't escape it.- Classic Car thread
Follow the instructions on the windshield sticker. Triumphs in theory are great. In real life, you are almost always chasing a leak or an electrical problem. Even in a well sorted out car. Father/Son restorations are great, but pick a better starting point. It will be more fun to actually get to drive something rather than going into the garage and smelling gas, seeing a puddle under the car or turning the key and hearing click click click. There is a reason that car got parked when it did.- CFB coaching carousel

Most of those scuffs are probably not noticeable on the wrist. The close up photos can make them look way worse than in person.- The Guitar Pron Thread
Not sure about sound improving with age, but why not make guitar playing more comfortable starting out? If it keeps her coming back to play, it is worth a string change I think.- The New Car Fanatic Thread

I feel like there is more to the story. Did she move her lover in while he was in the hospital dying? Was he an abusive spouse in some way? I can't even imagine clearing out my wife's stuff while she is still in the ICU. Except for the cats. They might be gone pretty quick.- Best Original Rock Xmas Songs

Oh, I know. I got an email from Tone Shop in Addison today. 20% off a good portion of the store for an after Christmas sale though Friday. Trying not to cave and go in..... My son is off to college next year and it has me looking around and realizing that if we want to downsize at some point, I actually need to start selling some stuff. Watches, guns, instruments... Then I think about the hassle of dealing with buyers. Baby steps, but I am getting there.- The Guitar Pron Thread
1 acoustic, 4 basses. I am on a continued gear purge. Just sold off an acoustic and 3 basses earlier this year. My goal is to get down to 2 (possibly 3) basses.- The Watch Fanatic Thread
At your upper end, Omega would be my choice Frederique Constant makes a great watch at an amazing price. Another option would be to start looking at the used market to get a bit more bang for your buck. https://frederiqueconstant.com/collections/7-8-index-automatic/products/classics-index-automatic-1 https://frederiqueconstant.com/collections/heart-beat-automatic-classics/products/heart-beat-automatic-fc-310ms5b6 - Mass College Admission Cheating Scandal
