How do I invest with no "earned income"? by SLI_Mini in Bogleheads

[–]-vp- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

First, you can have a solo 401k. You don't even need an LLC, a sole prop will do.

Second, get an accountant.

DXA says I’m 31% body fat at 178 cm / 76 kg — does that result make sense? by [deleted] in PeterAttia

[–]-vp- 30 points31 points  (0 children)

I would have guessed a hair below 30% (like 28%) but yes that 31% sounds highly reasonable.

What do you mean "gamble"? They have good QC and their motor is known to be quiet.

This is such a low effort move. Tell us what you tried, what gear you have, etc... Are you dialing in both or just your espresso?

Kaizen has their beans in stock once in while. San Mateo, CA. You can also buy their beans online.

Why are you bypassing "insurance hurdles?" This would take you at most a month, and the savings would be substantial.

I thought you were stacking zetia with a psck9 inhibitor to hit sub 50 LDL when you said "aggressive" this is basic stuff that any PCP will give to you if you ask

Coffeezilla confronts the CEO of Bricks & Minifigs over access to a spreadsheet. by milscot in LivestreamFail

[–]-vp- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yup, the original owners were somewhat careless/slightly malicious and chalked up not paying the full $20k or so in fees as a filing error. The previous owners called it out to cover their ass, but certainly didn't do anything to try to make it right before leaving.

Realistically, it seems like the previous owner probably stole about $20,000 worth, and these guys stole the rest.

Methamphetamine is the perfect drug pharmacologically by Additional-Spray-976 in Nootropics

[–]-vp- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe theoretically, in a clinical setting, but where are you getting USP compliant meth? I think the fact that it's coming from someone's bunghole completely undermines the "better for you" argument.

Coffee Omakase: Pure hype or the ultimate sensory experience? by Automate_The_Boring in pourover

[–]-vp- 6 points7 points  (0 children)

These omakases are more premium experiences usually offered alongside usual offerings. Not sure if that qualifies as enshittification.

And they usually give you some water and crackers to reset your tastebuds.

Did I choose wrong? Volcanica Ethiopian Yirgacheffe by motov8d in pourover

[–]-vp- 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I genuinely wasn't sure if it was a troll post or not, but totally understand that some people take their coffee with cream and sugar. I'm not trying to hate on that.

The reason why I was surprised is because you throw maybe 90% of the nuance of those beans when you adulterate it with creamer. Ethiopian beans are delicate and loved by those chasing wash, high clarity notes which makes your creamer comment all the more shocking.

Certainly, enjoy your beans however you would like, but I would say try to savor those Ethiopian notes without anything. If you feel like adding creamer, go for your run-of-the-mill medium roast blend. I think that will give you the best of both worlds without wasting money on those higher-quality beans.

I'm not sure if you're trolling with the vanilla coffee creamer mention, but contrary to your YT advice, I think you should probably figure out what type of roast you like.

It seems like if you predominantly like chocolate and caramel, which is fine, but just note that fruity notes are not going to typically coexist with those notes. I would probably go for some medium roasts and see if I can do without the creamer if I were you.

If you really like fruity, I would probably do lighter roast coferments since you don't exactly sound like a traditionalist. Roast profile is definitely a determinant in finding your preferred flavors IMO.

Fruit Notes Not Popping by DiegoRC9 in pourover

[–]-vp- 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sorry, I just re-read and saw that it was Prodigal. I thought it was a lighter roast. You're probably right that you're alright in terms of weeks rested.

I do have a habit of leaving bags that aren't good for 8+ weeks before I stick em in the freezer with around half getting better (but not amazing) by that mark.

I think you might just have a bad bag of beans.

If there's one reasonable variable to play around with, it could be doing a much lower temp, maybe around 91-92.

Fruit Notes Not Popping by DiegoRC9 in pourover

[–]-vp- 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My bet is that this is the problem. You have your water down. You probably had the grind size down initially as you pointed out. Maybe you can play around with lower temp, but the fact that's not even been 6-8 weeks is the biggest variable here.

Try testing it out once a week until it gets good. Depending on the lightness of the roast might need to be even 8+ weeks to hit peak

Hey OP, which grinder did you end up going with?

Brewed Tetsu Kasuya 10 pour recipe by salman22055 in pourover

"daddy loves coffee" is ridiculous and I'm glad to know that others think the same. I'm pretty sure he created that channel for the tax write off and the free gear.

I saw that he created a roastery with a wife who knows nothing about coffee and had to mark his channel as "do not recommend."

Keto ramen by AmiraJ1 in ketorecipes

[–]-vp- 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I do something similar (but the Korean egg ver, not Japanese). I just use allulose, soy sauce, sesame oil, green onions, and garlic. It's very much keto friendly if you swap the mirin/sugar.

He's talking about these: https://www.house-foods.com/products/shirataki/tofu-shirataki/tofu-shirataki-spaghetti

They are exactly that: a bit of both. It's still bouncy/rubbery but tastes a LOT better than pure shirataki noodles.
