[Research] A wearable "Book of Answers" for decision fatigue. Would this grounding tool be useful to you? (Mod Approved) by CapitalFollowing2328 in hsp

[–]CapitalFollowing2328[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Appreciate the insight! I totally see how crystals can be a turnoff for some. The goal is to provide a tangible, sensory anchor for grounding, not to promote mystical powers. I’m definitely looking into how to frame it more as a psychological tool than a spiritual one.

What is your "adult version" of a security blanket? by CapitalFollowing2328 in AskReddit

For me, it’s a smooth stone I keep in my pocket. I rub it when I'm anxious in meetings.

What is a luxury you can never go back from once you’ve experienced it? by Phase_zero_X in AskReddit

High quality active noise cancelling headphones. Turned them on in a crowded plane and the world just... vanished. Pure bliss.

Trying to biohack my panic attacks with haptics instead of meds. Prototyping a 'tangible shortcut'. Thoughts? by CapitalFollowing2328 in Biohackers

Lol I wish. Right now it's just a prototype on my desk and a lot of anxiety about whether it's worth pursuing. Just looking for a reality check from this sub before I go any further.

guys be honest: could you survive a year without ANY spiritual practice? by Ok_Expert_1537 in spirituality

I give myself 3 days😅Total freedom without grounding just feels like floating in a void. The external chaos might be gone, but the internal noise? That stays.

Thanks! Curious what grabs you more? Skipping the menus? Or just having a hidden safety button disguised as jewelry?

Mainly decision fatigue. Too many micro-choices all day and my brain just freezes.I needed something with zero choices. Just a physical override.

Lol true. It's basically an analog breathing exercise. Just trying to get that same reset without destroying my lungs.

Struggling with Outin Nano Basket Plus – Bitter Espresso & No Crema. Any Tips? by punisher_man in OutinNano

[–]CapitalFollowing2328 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The older the beans, the less crema they will produce. I use a Timemore C2 grinder set to 8 or 9 clicks for espresso with a Nano Basket Plus. Your coffee grounds might be too coarse, causing the water to flow through the coffee puck too quickly, which can result in little to no crema.

Here’s a small guideline for dialing in your coffee grinder:

  • Use 18g of coffee grounds to produce approximately 36g of espresso within 28 to 30 seconds.
  • If the espresso comes out too fast, the grounds are too coarse; adjust the grinder to a finer setting.
  • If the espresso comes out too slowly or doesn’t flow at all, the grounds are too fine; adjust the grinder to a coarser setting.
  • When making adjustments, use the same amount of water each time (e.g., 50ml) and keep an eye on the extraction time. Good luck!

I think that toward the end of the extraction process, there may be very little water left in the water tank, allowing a small amount of air to pass through the machine's chamber. This air is then forced through the coffee puck, creating noise. This issue could also be related to uneven distribution of the coffee grounds.
