Everything you own is something you need to maintain and service. Scaling back on stuff can give a real sense of freedom.
On the other hand the Dual Fuel Inverter Generator (Propane/Petrol) I got in the basement gives me sense of security.So, did you do the monthly maintenance on the generator? Do you run it for 10 or 15 minutes every month to be sure it starts and runs?
Luckily my tiny 2000W require annual and not monthly maintenance. :)
That maybe worse to remember and harder to make a habit to do.
I only run it on propane, so when I get the BBQ grill out in spring and burn that one I do the generator too. The “clean” parts of the schedule are a lot simpler if you don’t run it on petrol.
Descaling? My coffee machine has been running daily for 6 years without that made up mumbo-jumbo!
Well well look at fancy pants over here with the soft water
Hope you don’t have lead pipes and soft water! Cause those two don’t mix. And by don’t mix I mean do mix, which is why it’s bad.
If you don’t put reptiles in your machine, do you still have to descale it?
Doubt it, but what’s even the point then.
Damn, I need to descale my machine. It’s been… quite a long time since I last dealt with it.
I have a hard enough time remembering to flush the group head every few weeks.
Thanks for the reminder to flush the group head.
The more shit you buy the more your shit owns you
Look, I just want to have a sand pit and be a dinosaur again
I wish it would just be these small scale maintenance tasks with clear purpose and results. But instead it’s endless uncertainty and insecurity about your health and job and finances where you never know if you have done enough or if your efforts even matter. Keep grinding every day just to be rug pulled by something you could not have anticipated or have no control over. Descaling coffee machine is simple and rewarding: you see a problem, you have the means to address the problem, you do the thing and you have the satisfaction of a job done also reaping the benefits immediately.
Last year. Lucky me I have good water. I should do it again

Do what now?
What a dogshit example
this is why I brew espresso with bottled water. Scale will really fuck it up. I make pour overs with my approx 200 TDS local tap swill though because I’m a basic bitch
Wait 'til the point where those mundane elements are the basis of your stability, and a positive aspect of your self-confidence (I keep my coffee machi e deacaled successfully)
