Seriously though! You HAD family in Chicago, but after that recommendation… no you don’t 😉

I’m surprised that no one has said “concrete anchor for an unfinished building structure”. Doesn’t this look like someone laid the foundation for a tower or building or something with the concrete anchor underground, and this is a tie-in area for the additional rebar structure of either a column or a wall that could have joined here? The metal configuration here looks a lot like what’s inside concrete pillars but we usually don’t see it

Best way is to time box it, especially if you’re not accustomed to reading for long periods of time. You could start by carving out just 30 minutes of focused reading before you let yourself get into gaming sessions, which will give you a sense of when you start to feel fatigued (you may end up wanting to read longer). For me, making it a mission helps me focus better at least

Honestly? Hardwire is the only way I’ve found to always consistently transfer files like this, to this very day

Shit take. Do better

“You’ve been duped”. Because people like this never acknowledge the amount of corporate welfare going on in America, if you want to be fiscally conservative, stop paying for profit companies from government coffers. Don’t go after food stamps, that is just veiled prejudice

That one does look amazing! I’m unfortunately limited to a portable one in an apartment. Added to the bucket list though for sure!

They do make professional grade induction burners for woks that are curved, they are beautiful but prohibitively expensive

Alright so you screwed up posting this, because I’m actively looking for a dual induction burner setup, and now I want your advice. Ideally I want a “linked” dual burner so that I can put a square skillet pan across both burners, there’s basically like one of those online, and then a bunch of dual burners that are not linked and slightly different power on either side. Wat do? Anyone have a good experience with this situation yet?

Every individual has the power to make a decision even if that decision would exit them from the situation. Maybe more people should stand up to authoritarians

I read through the comments and replies here… have you considered that it’s just aged out or a bad batch somehow?If it does not extract, show some reaction to boiling water, or darken the water, there is a problem. If this is pre ground it could be >6m old. Not sure there’s another explanation here.

In one comment you mention that it “actually tastes good”… How do you know this if it’s not properly “mixing” with boiling water? Diluted coffee tastes not great, so it’s a confusing thing to say

More complete overview below, but basically, it can move faster through phases, can’t be judged as well by color, and can reach crack at lower temperatures. It’s totally possible to get a great outcome! Dialing it in is the fun IMO Link

Decaf beans are harder to roast well (IMO) so it tends to be that the mass distributed ones won’t be great since they’re in less demand. You can find small locals that do decaf runs sometimes, or order green beans and do it yourself. Remember, darker means less caffeine, so if you’re pulling medium roast beans and have no good decaf source, try something dark that you can tolerate and see whether it helps

Yep, exactly! Single origin is fun and all, but roasters know that blends make for a more consistently well rounded cup. Blending batches is even a thing between different roasts of the same bean. If you enjoy the taste, it’s always the right call!

For what it’s worth, wetting paper filters is usually done with near boiling water in the chemex, so it IS preheated with the regular process. Preheated steel also won’t retain as much heat. I don’t disagree with your post as written, it just doesn’t match the reality of what’s usually done

Counter-argument, this is all correct, but when the application is against shopping mall criminals it will work well enough. Not talking masterminds here

Please keep doing this because I’m never going back😎

This sounds incredibly legit, but question: Could you not gain a shit ton of momentum sailing directly with the wind in a regular boat, then drop your sails and steer into the direction of it to maintain some amount of velocity for an amount of time? Feels like the same principle could be applied here, especially because they would swap between photon momentum and gravitational momentum
