The stock OEM tires that came with my Range Rover HSE (2020) came with Pirelli's Scorpion Verde's. However, while these stock tires have performed fairly ok, let just say that I'm fed up paying 2k+ in tires & service at the dealer. Seems like every two years or less the tires need to be replaced.

What other options exist in the wild that will give me good thread wear, ride quality, comfort without having to give an armed and a leg in the process? Seems that many of us fall into the marketing bs of tire brands....

I've narrowed it down two options, such as the Lexani LX Twenty, Arroyo Grand Sport A/S these two seem to have decent ratings and overall satisfaction from customers. Any other recommendations?

Thanks in advance~

Unfortunately, I will have to purchase new espresso cups as my go to coffee mugs can't be used due to the clearance space between the group head and the drip tray.

Also, this machine is not as simple to programmed. Today, I tried to pull multiple shots and they all sucked! To the point that I gave up and decided to simply use my moka pot to make some coffee.

Maybe it's just me, but the operation manual was read, amongst watching a few tutorials and I still can't get this machined dialed in... :(

I'm starting to miss my Breville Barista Touch now....

Just purchased an espresso machine the Pop Up by Quickmill, now I’m needing a grinder priced at or below [$500] recommendations would be appreciated! Looked into the DF64 but the reviews are a bit sketchy, wondering what else is out there?

Thanks in advance!

So what's the deal with this back and forth issue espresso machine such as boiler vs thermoblock system's? I've done some research and for what I'm abled to find is that it doesn't truly make a difference between the two. Whether if that's true or not I personally don't know but others can chime in?

Thanks!

I know these two espresso machine are made in China. However, just because they’re Chinese made doesn’t mean they’re that bad.

It must have PID, boiler preferably a dual system if possible given at the price point range. I’ve looked into Gaggia and some other options too but like anything else the more you want the costlier it’s going to be especially when it comes to Italian espresso machines.

I used to have a Breville Touch espresso machine but it was damaged during my relocation move and I’m simply using the Cafelat Robot and also a stove top type espresso maker, basically a Moka pot.

Also, I need me a good quality grinder so far I’ve looked into the Mokkom professional 64mm bur grinder which is being sold under [200] give or take.

All together I don’t want to exceed [900] budget….

Thoughts?

So I’m looking at these alternatives to replaced my old Breville Barista Touch that was damaged during my move.

Leaning towards an espresso machine that will be my last… so what you guys think? I’m no espresso expert but I’m sure many of you can guide me on the right path.

The grinder I’m also considering is the Ceado Life X which will be purchased later…

Thanks in advance….

Looking to get a Gevi Espresso Machine with OPV, but I was seriously considering the Breville Bambino plus, my research analysis all prefer the Gevi brand. However, I am very familiar with Breville as I used to have a Breville Barista touch, but unfortunately the moving company destroyed the unit and I don't feel like spending that type of money at this moment. Since the machine doesn't come with a grinder I am leaning heavily into the Mokkom brand 64mm bur grinder. I'm not a coffee snob nor an expert, but is there any significant difference between the stainless steel vs titanium for extraction, grinding, etc?

Also, I don't want to exceed a budget of [$500]to maybe pushing [$600] for complete setup. While the Breville Barista touch had a grinder, I prefer to now have the grinder function separately. Thoughts, suggestions or advice?

Thanks to all for the help~

Love the Aquadeep from UNDONE but I also like the Spinnaker Piccard, I prefer automatic functions. This is my first time diving into micro brand watches as I already have a vast collection of Tudor's, Panerai, Rolex's, Zenith, and Oris. But the days of overspending are over, feel the need to divert my attention to micro bands offerings. Thought on their mechanical movements, they're Japanese but I'm not expert in that field of mechanical movement. Thoughts?

I’m a disabled, most of the income I received is non taxable income or reported as income.

The only reportable income being earned per month doesn’t even come close to $1,000 as I’m just rounding off the figures.

The presiding judge granted a court fee waiver that my bankruptcy attorney had filed. But once the waiver was granted the presiding judge the Trustee became extremely angry, vindictive and retaliatory in nature.

That she has literally forced my legal representative to file a withdrawal for the fee waiver, which I forced had to pay because I feel my attorney is either too soft or simply wants to make quick money on the bankruptcy case.

I feel the actions of the trustee are retaliatory and vindictive in nature due to fact that my attorney confessed to me that she was upset with the judge granting the fee waiver but what control does a trustee have over a presiding judge to literally forced someone that’s a disabled veteran to pay for fees that they can’t afford?

In order to cover the fee waiver issue I had to sell a personal item, the funds earned were used to cover the fee waiver now the trustee has an issue with the money earned from a sale of a bs item that now she wants the earnings from the sale too!

I’m literally being forced to write a complaint with my local U.S Bankruptcy Court Board of Trustees wether a trustee can forced a debtor into paying fees that were already granted by a judge, now my attorney is afraid that once I file this complaint the trustee will become further vindictive and retaliatory that he may be forced to withdrawal from the case and leave me to argue with the Trustee in the courts.

I’m not sure if an attorney can simply asked to withdraw from a case that they’re being paid fully to defend.

The attorney has even informed that the Trustee is upset that she’s not getting paid her $30 or $50 fee that she gets from the court fees for a Chapter 7 court cost fees.

Personally, I can clearly assume that the Trustee is abusing her powers and clearly is being selfish and greedy and now she’s turning the entire simple case into a whole other matter.

I’m not sure the actions of the trustee fall between the code of conduct of board of trustees or the scope of the oath of an attorney.

However, my attorney is deathly afraid about me writing a complaint instead of simply defending the case with the Presiding judge.

What upsets me is the fact that she has communicated her anger in written, verbally with my attorney. So he has proof that she’s clearly being abusive vindictive and all because a stupidly fee she’s not earning…. 🤦🏽‍♂️

The greed is beyond ridiculous! But I feel my attorney is more afraid of me having to file a discriminatory, retaliatory complaint to the board of trustees instead of doing his job to protect my best interests…

Since this entirely new to me, I’m sort of stuck between a rock and a hard place as I feel that now the trustee has some sort or vengeance against me, which reminds me of my ex when we went through divorce but this is by far worse!

Posted a photo of an Sig Thread 716i and many criticized the brand choice so what’s out there?

Currently, I am in Chapter 7 bankruptcy proceedings. This process takes a while, not sure how long it takes. However, the Trustee is “extremely” upset about her not getting her $60 fee my attorney filed for a fee waiver which was granted by the court judge since I am currently in disability and a combat veteran and this upset the Trustee, she claims that just because I get a non taxable income from the VA I should be able to pay the $350 court fee which a small portion goes to her. The only taxable income that I get which is not taxed in the state of Florida is a measly $624 dollars which is a tiny portion of a bs pension. However, this female Trustee has become extremely vindictive, voicing her concerns about her not getting $60 the greed of this woman is beyond ridiculous.

She has communicated by voice and via written communication with my attorney about her not getting paid. I mean, seriously?

My property has loss value, I’m currently upside down on the property. Which I’m trying to save and while so that I won’t be god damn homeless. This woman has no care in the world and she intends of making my life miserable as my attorney has indicated.

He’s trying to work with her, but she’s a PITA. So I’m keeping my fingers crossed.

I asked the attorney if we can request another Trustee but this woman has clearly indicated that she would talk to the new trustee about god knows what. I find this behavior unethical extremely disrespectful and unprofessional. I asked if we can simply request a new trustee but the attorney is telling me that would cost me “thousands” 🤦🏽‍♂️😡 to do and he’s trying to work with her before it gets escalated.

In the meantime I’m behind on just about everything, car, mortgage you name it I’m screwed, loss my job and unfortunately I have not been abled to find meaning employment ever since moving to Florida, meanwhile in Chicago I was making $35 to $150 an hour working contract work but Florida doesn’t want to pay not even close to $35 an hour! 😡 but more like $19 to $23 and I have 3 college degrees, tons of experience, etc I honestly regret moving to this state but I have to work with what I have.

Purchased my house a few years ago, when I used the proceeds to buy from selling my residence in Chicago while believing the jobs would be “plentiful” to find but I guess grass it’s not always greener on the other side.

I absolutely hated the winters, the cold, and I simply wanted to have a better quality of life. Anyway enough of my rant…. My mortgage company and car company absolutely refuse to talk to me and I’m trying to make atleast some payments into these accounts. My attorney has not gotten back to me if I should wait until the case is discharged or at least try to make atleast some payments to the mortgage and car finance company.

I guess my question is should I wait or make payments? I can’t make full payments but I don’t fall that behind but being 16k behind on mortgage payments and over 1k in car payments I simply don’t know what to think or do….

Thoughts or suggestions? Thanks to all in advance!
