Buying help, DF64 or VS4 & Bambino Plus - Budget [$1,000]
Been lurking on the sub for a while, and was previously set on a Gaggia classic pro, but switched to having the bambino plus in the cart due to having a simpler milk setup, cost, and ease of out of the box use.
We are also split between the DF64 or VS4, but leaning towards the VS4 due to noise, however if the DF64 is that much better I think it would be the move.
I typically don't drink warm milk drinks, but my girlfriend does so that would simplify her learning curve getting a good drink.
In the mornings we both have a coffee so it would be the workflow for two, then single drinks throughout the day.
Is this as good as I can get for sub [$1,000]?
Edit: We would also be open to saving some $ and going with the VS3 or DF54
This all gives a budget for some fun tools. However - if I were to do so, adding an extra [$600] or so gets me into the profitec go zone. Is it worth it in exchange for better build quality and “future proofing” Should we just splurge for that?
l'd also love some more recommendations on where to purchase some products in the US. Seems to be a consensus to stay away from Whole Latte Love? Thanks!

Cause for concern? Mulch bag left for a while near house. Va, USA
Stupidly left this bag of mulch about 1’ away from the house. Haven’t been doing yardwork due to an injury. Anyways, pest control scheduled a “free termite inspection” which naturally I assume as cause for a major upsell.
My question is, since there were termites in/under the mulch, should I be concerned about the basement? On this side of the house, it has been exc evaded with a large French drain installed. I’ve also recently put drywall up on the basement so I can no longer see the block. However, basement framing has been there for about 13 years.
I dug a little dirt up and saw two small tunnels but they seemed very short lived in the dirt.
I already discarded the mulch bag.
I’m already leaning that there isn’t much cause for concern but wanted to double check. Cheers

Vanquish H10 RTR, Element Zuul IFS, Axial SCX10 SR5..
The big 3 right now for my entry into 1/10th.. I have a pretty cool trx4m kei truck build, but I’m now on a tighter budget and wanting a fun truck out of the box so I’m looking for some input to help me decide.
The Zuul is cool and the most affordable for $400, but I’m concerned about quality and longevity.
The H10 RTR seems like a good deal for a brushless setup, and my long vision would be to do an 82r Toyota body and some 1.9 wheels. A friend has a vanquish and the quality seems top tier.
I’ve also looked at the SCX10 SR5 but it’s leaving something to be desired and just fits in the “middle ground” I feel.
Anything I’m missing? I want to stay around $500 before any mods. It will mostly be for crawling in the yard and on the trails. Nothing too serious

Best bike shop for a gravel/road bike rental?
I will be visiting a friend and would like to ride a couple of days. Does anyone have a preferred shop who rents mid/higher end bikes. We will ride mostly gravel and road. Thank you

Am I tripping? Limit screws with zero contact
Obviously a “no name” derailleur but the limit screws don’t contact anything? I mean why bother?
