Scale recommendations [$20-$100]

Hey all, I’m in the US and have a Gaggia Classic Pro. I’ve been using a $20 Greater Goods scale I bought off Amazon for about the last three years, and honestly it’s been pretty solid. It’s accurate to 0.01 grams, and seems to have a relatively quick response time. It’s time to replace it though as I’ve gotten it wet a couple of times over the past couple years. I ended up buying a Maestri House S2 (which I thought would be a step up), but it’s not even close to the cheap Greater Goods scale I’ve been using when it comes to weight accuracy and response times. I noticed something was off when I tried using it this morning to I weigh my beans. It looked to be about double what I usually use. I compared it to my old scale and it was just over 40 grams (I typically use 20g). My old scale can register if single bean is added. The new scale doesn’t seem to notice the difference. I teared both scales and compared the two using a single hot pepper. The accuracy of the new one just isn’t on par with my old one. Does anyone have any scales they’ve actually used that they recommend? I’d rather keep it between $30-$50 if possible. Thanks!!

Key fob replacement question

I have a 2022 Lincoln Nautilus with 2 key fobs, and I’d like to purchase a third one and program it myself. Does anyone have any suggestions or experience doing this? I’ve done it successfully in the past with other vehicles, but I’ve never had a vehicle this new with so many features like proximity unlock. It uses an Intelligent Access key system. I’ve seen third party key fobs that say they’re compatible for $30-50. Anyone have any recommendations/experience/opinions?

1.7 still needs work

Played for a couple hours last night on one of the vanilla War Pigs servers (128 players with zero mods). There were still plenty of stutters and freezes which really impacted the whole experience. They seemed especially prevalent during firefights which is really a let down. There’s nothing worse than spending 10-20 minutes making your way to an enemy position, taking aim, firing off a few shots for the game to freeze up while it calculates the hit registers. Really takes you out of the moment. For instance, we had a few Russian elements probing one of our bases. I took up a flanking position and we flushed one of them out of some bushes. I opened fire on him and the game crashed. Maybe I’m whining, but I never had issues like this on modded servers running 18 GB with 100 players back on the 1.5 release. After last night I can say 1.7 seems a little more stable than 1.6, but my series X was still freezing and crashing fairly often. I’m using the “performance” in game setting and stereo uncompressed sound system setting.

With regard to the FIA faction I was frustrated with it last night. We had some FIA forces that would dress in US uniforms and drive Humvees. They would set up across a field on high ground and open up on us with the 50 cal. It made it hard to determine if we were taking friendly fire because they seemed to be outside of the name tag distance range. While our team was trying to figure out if we were taking friendly fire, a couple other FIA would creep up from a different angle and set up in some foliage and just base camp us. I’m sure the FIA loved racking up kills while we were trying to figure out what the hell was going on. Since they can’t capture bases there was no indication they were within our perimeter.

What are y’all’s thoughts on the stability of the 1.7 update and the new faction?

Which machine for americanos?

I currently have a Vertuo machine at work that I use to make Odacio pods daily. The taste is ok, but I was considering buying a used OL machine to replace it to make americanos. I typically drink black coffee at work, and the Vertuo is definitely a step up from Keurigs, but I was wondering if the OL pods would make good taste americanos. What are your thoughts/suggestions?

Looking for recommendations for used boats to use in the area (Lake Erie/Ontario/Niagara River, etc.) Would like recommendations for boats that are suitable for a first timer, and won’t break the bank (under 10K with trailer?). We’d just be interested in using it to cruise around, fish and possibly ski/tube). We’re a family of four so I was thinking a bowrider would be best. Is there anything out there that would be easy to use and reliable?

I have a 2022 Nautilus with the standard 10 speaker Revel audio system, and wanted to know if anyone has recommendations for an under seat sub woofer? Also, do all of the Nautilus vehicles have active noise cancellation, because I read that can cause feedback issues with extra bass if not installed correctly. Just wanted to get people’s opinions on how to get a beefier sound. I find the standard Revel 10 speaker system sounds flat. It does have bass, but seems to have a lot more high end. What are your thoughts?
