I do a 1:16.667 ratio of coffee to water. That would be 30g coffee in 500g water. Pre rinse the filter. Then I add enough boiling water to bloom the coffee. After about a minute I start adding more water. Just enough to keep the grounds below liquid level. I swirl clockwise and then counter clockwise after each pour.
That’s it. Keep pouring until target amount of water is reached.
Agree, OPs experience sucks and it’s good perspective but YSK should be focused on facts.
Moussaka.
You have to peel, slice, salt, and drain eggplant. Then cook it.
You have to peel, parboil, and slice potatoes.
Optionally also peel, slice, salt, drain, and cook zucchini.
You have to make your meat sauce. Make bechemel.
And then layer it all together and bake it.
It’s MANY hours.
What is it you’re looking to get from the lethicin? What do you think is missing from just straight canola? What problems are you having? I think this would help with alternative suggestions.
I have a dishwand that just stays out all the time, so I’d hit it with that. Almost everything either goes in the dishwasher or gets hit with the dishwand. If I cut up something like apples or cucumber I may just give the knife a rinse before it goes back into the block
Do you roast there or move it outside when you want to roast? The smoke seems like you wouldn’t want it in a finished space without some serious ventilation.
Some People may consider this sacrilege, but I keep a small jug in my fridge that I pour any extra coffee in. In brewing this would be the solvers method :). 1/4 cup left? It goes in the jug.
Then I use this to make iced coffee.
If I’m completely empty, I’ll brew a pot of French press, and then pour it in the jug to restock.
There are no cake days, this isn’t Reddit. Don’t try to make it Reddit. Let it be it’s own thing.
In principle, these type of weapons are immoral even in war. We’re talking about things like mustard gas, chlorine gas, sarin gas. Nerve agents that are incredibly cruel and painful. They painfully, sometimes slowly, kill or incapacitate indiscriminately.
I think in practice warfare and weaponry have changed enough that the U.S. military feels it can wage war more effectively without these type of weapons.
This is some very ironic, animal farm energy here. The government has forgotten who gave them their power.
I’m coming here from kbin and see the link fine
Spez has been correctly advised that investors are going to be concerned with profitability, or at least a viable pathway to profitability.
There’s a huge startup bubble starting to burst. Companies reliant on cheap money to supplement a business model that at best is years away from profitability but in some cases decades or will never be profitable.
Uber and Doordash IPO’d when money was cheap and investors were fine with speculating on these disruptive, yet unprofitable, companies.
I work broadly in the VC funded start-up world. My observation is that money is running out. All of these companies are trying to commercialize, even if the product isn’t fully ready, because they have to show revenue and there has to be a path to profitability of that revenue. That’s the only way they’ll get more money.
In this context, Reddit is more like these startups. They’ve been funded by investors, including big ones like Condé Nast and Ten Cent, and they need more money, so they have to show a path to profitable revenue.
The IPO is going to be a shit show. I wouldn’t touch it with a 9 foot pole. Reddit has been notoriously unprofitable for its entire existence. Now there’s no more juice to squeeze and their backers want to pawn it off on retail investors.
I can understand the interest in watching the drama unfold. It’s like reality tv.
But you should also ask yourself, deep down, why do you care?
Reddit will never go back. It was going downhill long before the 3PA-crisis. Spez will never back down. Even if Spez gets fired it’ll be an Ellen Pao situation all over again. The new CEO will say nice things and then not undo anything Spez did.
At this point the most anyone left on Reddit can do is damage Reddit’s valuation. It’s retribution for destroying the community we all enjoyed.
The mods can do this by impacting what subs can be monetized. Users can do this by decreasing traffic. Even being on the site is traffic.
It’s funny you phrase it that way. I have a number of plants that I “bring in” for winter. It’s the same thing, just I view them less as “house plants” and more as “not winter hardy”.
I’ve got a few cacti, a jade plant, peace lily, and and orchid that all come inside for the winter time.
I used to have a lot more, but I pared them down. They took up a lot of space inside and it was just a lot of hassle to deal with.
I think an equal component to number of days you can go, is how long you can go each day.
That being said, I’d recommend the StrongLifts 5x5 program to begin with. It’s an A/B program, meaning in just two workouts you get a total body workout. There’s no reason you can’t use it 5 times a week. Week 1 would look like A/B/A/B/A and then Week 2 would be B/A/B/A/B and so fourth. I’d put the rest days after every B exercise.
The downside of this is StrongLifts does squats every day, so you’d be doing squats two days in a row.
It’s still a great beginner program. You may chose to only lift 3-4 times a week and throw in some very good cardio on additional days.
This program will probably take 1:15 the first few times you do it, but you should be able to get it down to an hour or less for each workout.
I use StrongLifts as a beginning program but also modified it over time. Now I’ve moved to PPL which is technically a 6-day a week program but you can just do 5 days a week and keep up the rotation the next week. It’s a longer workout. I’m lifting for at least 1:30, but usually 1:45 each time. It’s a lot more volume but the gains are large. I would start with PPL because it’s lot to jump into as a beginner.
I really use very few platforms. Was mainly Reddit, now mainly Kbin. No Facebook, no Twitter, no Instagram, too old for Snapchat.
I stopped visiting Facebook several years ago. I think it was for two reasons:
I never used Twitter. It just wasn’t for me.
Maybe too old and too much of a curmudgeon for Instagram and Snapchat.
Leaving Reddit was going to be hard. I tried Mastodon but, like Twitter, that wasn’t what I was looking for.
When I found kbin, I made the switch and that’s it. I have one sub I still check out on Reddit, but here if used to be daily, now it’s a few times a week. It’s continue to diminish I’m sure as the community on the deliverer grows.
French press is my morning go to. I generally follow James Hoffman’s method. Boiling hot water, stir for the first couple of minutes, and then let it sit for as long as you can patiently wait to let the fines settle. For me this is 3, 4 minutes max. My total brew time is 6-7 minutes. He recommends like 7-8 minutes rest for a total brew time of about 9-10 minutes.
If I’m just itching for an extra cup, I have a pour over I use.
The flavor difference between brew methods is always interesting. If I had to pick, I’d say the full mouthfeel of French press is my preference, but I’m glad I have both options.
I used to have a nice 15 bar espresso maker but I found I just didn’t use it enough to justify the counter space it took up.
We made it to the New World. I wish them the best and hope they find us one day, but I’m burning my ships and starting a new life.
an old irishman shuffles into a bar at sundown with his eyes low and his head down
the bartender says “ay, billy! whats the matter. you seem troubled”
billy responds with "you see this bar we’re standing in. I built it with me own hands! but they don’t call me the bar builder, no!
and the bridge everyone uses to cross the river to get to the market, i built that that with me own hands too! but do the call me the bridge builder? no, they do not.
and the wall that protects our city, i built that with me own hands too! and they don’t call me the wall builder neither.
BUT YOU FUCK ONE GOAT!..
The Boeing middle, but over halfway. My principal is now large enough, and my runway until retirement shirt enough, that my contributions have less and less of an impact compared to my compounding interest…well, my theoretical compounding interest if the stock market improves.
Which is fortunate because I got laid off in March. I was worried about what impact this would have on my retirement date…and it won’t. I could stop saving now and still retire when I want to, with a slightly tighter budget.
So that’s where I’m at.
