From what I can tell, relative humidity in the room does reduce the amount of static a little, but still not as much as you would get from performing the RDT they suggest in the study.

Will be interesting to see whether the data behind this study mentions that.

I’m making my way through this in the hopes I don’t need to read through the study: https://youtu.be/GuqVUsMPs-U?si=rq0n9pL0bO6Pna-l

Haha. Took me a while to pick up on that. I haven’t tried RDT before so wonder how much of a difference it really makes or if it’s really minor.

Worth watching for the “sponsorship” half way through.

Totally. Every week there’s a study to say caffeine is bad for you, then the next week there’s a study saying it’s good for you.

TL;DR

Overall, based on relatively limited published clinical data, our review does not support using blue-light filtering lenses to reduce eye strain with digital device use. It is unclear whether these lenses affect vision quality or sleep, and no conclusions can be drawn about any potential effects on the health of the retina.

Huge win! What a tense game!

Oh nice! A little jealous of the end game set up, if there is such a thing.

Yeah I have one as well and I’m really enjoying it. Good to hear it’s still going strong. I’ve only had mine for about 6 months.

That’s not what’s being discussed in the article, nor what’s being connected in new home builds, nor what’s being done at a large scale in NSW. So no, the gas supply being discussed isn’t renewable.

How long have you had the BDB? How are you finding it?

I was going to go for that, but I ended up pledging on the Timemore Sculptor Kickstarter campaign. So waiting for that to arrive now, which likely won’t be until end of year.

Agree. But the government also shouldn’t be taking around $50k from these people saying that the wait for a visa is around a year, when in reality it may never happen.

Yeah, I was buying at least 1-2 coffees a day. I only buy around 2-3 a week now (when I’m not at home). I’m also getting to the point where I’m happier with the quality of coffee at home than what I’m getting at a cafe.

Nice. That’s a good combo. I’m looking forward to getting an electric grinder. The hand grinder is going well, but would love something a little quicker and easier haha.

It isn’t just about emissions though is it? It’s a non-renewable as well.

How have you been enjoying the BBE?

I don’t think I ever mastered the aeropress. I prefer the moka pot. I might have to revisit it at some point to see what I was doing wrong.

I’m sure I’ve missed it, but what exactly have they considered as “high coffee consumption”? Some of their findings show some level of coffee consumption can be beneficial, or inconclusive. Which is usually why most of these studies can be summed up with… just don’t overdo it.
