Background:

I was getting only one stream of water coming out of my shower screen (not centered, off to one side) which would leave a divot in my puck most times I pulled a shot. I had cleaned the portafilter/grouphead area multiple times with Cafiza and had run citric acid through the tank and to the steam wand/shower screen many times.

I'd get a couple of streams coming out of the shower screen once or twice after a cleaning or descaling, but after that, it would revert back to one stream.

Possible solution?

I then thought I'd try replacing the shower screen. The screw was not budging, and I didn't want to force it, but it did eventually strip.

As mentioned above, AT&T will be sunsetting phones that use 3G for voice. I'm looking for suggestions for a phone that is:

  1. Mildly water resistant
  2. Decent camera (telephoto lens would be a huge bonus)
  3. Under $600 USD
  4. Decently fast

I would also love opinions from people who have switched from a OnePlus 5 to a different phone. What do you miss about the OP5? What do you like a lot about your new phone? Thanks!

I'm hoping to buy a new/gently used car and hold on to it for a decade or more. I don't yet have kids but am planning on it in the next few years.

So far, I have the following cars I'm interested in:

  1. Honda Fit
  2. Subaru Crosstrek
  3. Subaru Impreza
  4. Civic Hatchback
  5. Corolla Hatchback

I have test driven a Corolla automatic and it was quite pleasant to drive, and had a decent amount of power and a ton of safety tech (plus, living in the mountains, the LED headlights are compelling). The rear seats were a bit cramped though, compared to the Civic and the Crosstrek.

I also test drove a 2018 Civic hatch and it was a lot of fun to drive, but a 3 year old Civic hatch with a manual will co

I will be moving to PSU to start in the spring semester in 2021 as an international student and was wondering if anyone had any experiences with the PSU credit union, along with bigger banks like PNC or Chase. I'd like to support local if possible, and will be getting a chequing account as well as a credit card.

In terms of converting foreign currency to USD, does anyone have experience using TransferWise or similar services?

Thanks!

I'll likely be moving to Guelph in the coming year. I spend a fair amount of time out of town and this has led to some higher-than-expected bills on Freedom mobile while data roaming. How is the coverage for Fido in the Guelph area?

To any who have switched from Freedom to Fido/Rogers, has it been worth the extra money?

Hi r/bicycling - I want to put 40mm tires on my Norco Threshold A2 (currently have 35mm Schwalbe Tyragos on it that are almost worn out). I've looked around for options for something that I could take on the road, rail trails, and the occasional bit of snow (this isn't my winter bike but it'd be fun to take it on some XC ski trails).

I have the Clement Xplore 700x40 tires in mind. Keeping in mind that I'm a bigger guy (100kg) should I go for the 60TPI instead of 120TPI for increased wear resistance?

Do you have any other tires that I could check out? Thanks in advance!
