I managed to break my scales over the weekend. So was wondering if anyone has any recommendations for a good budget set

I bought new ice cube moulds for iced coffee at the beginning to the summer.
They have not been used yet. Weather has been miserable (I missed the one week of heat whilst abroad)

I love dogs of all breeds and sizes and I'm sure most of the time these are fine to be around. But this breed literally only exists to circumvent the exists banned breeds laws so I don't understand why the list can't be updated to include them.

It would be interesting to see a breakdown of pay ranges where this wage growth is happening.
We've been told no pay rises because of "current economic conditions" but I'm sure the execs have had theirs

Strong pay growth means the Bank of England could raise interest rates again in September, from the current rate of 5.25%.
The jobless rate rose from 4% to 4.2%, while the number of people in employment ticked lower.
Good to see the worst off will be hit the most as always.

If you're just looking for easy access cash and the best interest rates then pick an account from the list on this page https://www.moneysavingexpert.com/savings/savings-accounts-best-interest/

Ok strange, looks to be a kbin problem. I don't see it on any Lemmy instance but on your instance I see that and on kbin.social I get another weird banner (not nsfw at least)
echo 1 year ago • 100%
Wtf it's not for me (I haven't actually even set a banner).
Mind sharing a screenshot?

That's because you're technically not paying for your own pension. You pay for the current pension then the next generation will pay for yours.
Whole thing needs an overhaul but I wouldn't trust any of them to do it correctly

Triple lock and more pensioners than ever.
I look forward to not getting back anything that I pay in while the current people on state pension benefit way more than they contributed

I use my aeropress scoop for this for whatever brew method I decide to use that day.
No idea if you can buy just the scoop but I'm a fan of it. However, I'm pretty sure a lot of people hate that scoop.
Seems like .world is where all the big communities are but I'm sure there's other instances with some cool discussions going on

It was always going to happen but an instance being the defacto default for Lemmy is a bad thing.
There really needs to be a tool to help people pick an instance, but even then people would just flock to the general instances like .world anyway

Yeah it might not be the most mathematically correct place to put your money but the monthly thrill is nice.

Most cafes I'll get a milk drink, flat white usually. If I manage to come across a speciality cafe I'll order a V60 if they have it.
At home 99% of the time black coffee. In the summer sometimes I'll make a Greek Frappé

I've been thinking about getting a clever dripper but I'd probably never use my V60 again once I get one

The darker the roast the more coarse I grind. But I tend to prefer a light roast, more finely ground

13g whole bean ground quite fine using Timemore Chestnut C2.
Aeropress inverted.
30g water for a 30 second bloom. Add another 150g water to total 180g and stir. Steep for another 60 seconds (total 90s). Flip, swirl, and push slowly (roughly another minute)

This needs updating, there's a shift to weighing people in kilograms now. Thank god

Nope but the general use is going to be overwhelmed by the idea of instances.
I'm a techie and I had to spend a good amount of time reading about how it all works before I felt comfortable joining here. So the average user would probably just give up and use something else.
The email comparison is definitely the best one I've seen so far but I still don't think it'll stick with people.

I've been using the Timemore Chestnut C2 manual grinder for a couple years now. Really good for ~£55. There's the C3 now for a bit more as well but haven't looked into what the difference is.
I'll update to an electric grind once I decide to waste all my money getting into home espresso.

There's https://lemmyverse.net/communities which will show you all the communities that exist. You can filter by instance as well.
It's a separate site though.

It's not even just boys I have old school friends, now in late 20s, who were completely decent young lads sharing his stuff.
Unfortunately I don't think Tate is the cause, just a symptom. We need to tackle the lack of healthy male empowerment because boys need role models and right now these kind of guys are the ones filling that void.

It's a great idea having the UK based communities on this instance. But if people on other instances don't subscribe then other users on that instance won't be able to find the communities here in their search bar.
I do worry the large instances will end up being where all the communities are and people will just have accounts on the smaller ones

Car has been bad but he's still not really shown much and it's not like he's a young rookie either. So kind of understandable.
Was never a fan but a shame he didn't get a chance to finish his rookie season.

Horsham is my go to. Really nice coffee, with a good range. Should've probably put that in the main post.

How is the square mile stuff? From when I last checked they were a bit more expensive than the roasters a bit more local to me so haven't got round to trying them yet
