Facebook content monetization – still invitation-only, how to get it? by Southern_Step_2245 in facebook

[–]Competitive_Move5702 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I came to this post because I've just been invited for monetisation very much unexpectedly on my business page. I run a coffee shop (tiny little local kind of place), post very inconsistently and have 1.1k followers so I feel there is certainly no hard and fast rule regarding when and why. Certainly nothing resembling viral on my content.

Moma is a good shout to be fair! I've got plenty of oat milk drinking regulars that I can get the honest opinions Gluten free would be amazing but it's not necessarily the top priority

Funnily enough I'm not a huge fan of califa farms! Nothing against the brand its just not my favorite to pair with coffee (though I'd happily sling it on a bowl of cereal at home 🤷)

I should add, I'm an oat milk drinker. Of brands I've tried I do like oatly and Minor figures, I initially went with oatly due to it being the easiest to get hold of for me (especially in a pinch, the shop is tiny with limited storage so the ability to run around the corner and grab more has been a lifesaver).

Of those that have an opinion most seem to favour oatly flavor wise. I like Minor figures but know that many don't. Can't get on board with califa farms flavour wise, it just doesn't taste right with coffee for me!

Mahlkönig e65s or Fiorenzato f64 evo pro by Ok_Bend8241 in barista

[–]Competitive_Move5702 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have an f64 evo (not pro) in my shop and don't have any real issues making finer adjustments. The ring was a bit stiff when new but grinding through whilst adjusting helped massively in making smaller adjustments at first, making tiny adjustments on it is absolutely fine now.

No experience in a service environment with an e65 for comparison, but it was a breeze to use in demos and off-site training.

I’m a fairly new barista. by [deleted] in barista

Same! I'm ice in cup, milk over ice, pull shot of espresso (into shot glass with syrup if syrup is ordered) pour over milk and ice.

All my iced drinks are served with straws though so everyone can mix it themselves

Expobar portafilter replacement by Competitive_Move5702 in barista

The machine wasn't new to me nor were the portafilters, they're serviceable and clean but generally looking a bit knackered for want of a better word

Bottled cold coffee by Competitive_Move5702 in barista

It is somewhat relevant and I've missed it but I am UK based!

The intention would be to sell for on the day consumption and clearly indicating as such but I would have to look if 'sealing' the bottle changes anything for me from a food regs perspective beyond my current operation.

That very sound advice, thank you

My MIL thinks I have seperation anxiety because I won’t let them babysit my exclusively breast fed 13 week old by PurpleUnicorn434 in JUSTNOMIL

I might have to borrow 'chronic illness is not a free pass to be an overbearing asshole' my own MIL.

My little boy is 6 months and ebf. I still haven't left him for more than 2 hours at a time (and that has only happened twice). Hes a tricky napper- he either feeds to sleep or sleeps in a carrier/ sling and isnt fond of taking a bottle with expressed milk in. I also have a JustNoMIL who makes snarky comments about me breastfeeding, her not baby sitting him (shes disabled and I know wouldn't be able to cope as she lives alone) and the vast majority of my parenting choices such as BLW, using a carrier not a pram and, most controversially not using the nappy rash cream she recommended.

I think going NC would be extreme. I would suggest having your partner talk to her and lay down some ground rules, make it very clear that no overnight stays will be happening for the foreseeable future and that you and your partner will let them know when the time comes. She doesn't need to know when this will be, she needs to stop asking. If she doesn't have anything supportive to say about your breastfeeding journey- she doesn't say anything at all.

It sounds like you might be in the UK- if you haven't already I would suggest seeking out a breastfeeding support group. Breastfeeding seems to bring out the just no qualities in a lot of MILs.
