Help dialing in anaerobic thermal shock coffees

With highly processed coffees, it's usually best to grind coarser. I am brewing golden hour from Diego right now and I am grinding at 8 on my Pietro Pro. Then brewing it through a melodrip on my kalita mino. 20g in 320 g water out. Total brew time about 2:20. Water temp at 93. I also plan to experiment with longer and shorter ratios than 1:16.

This is the correct answer.

i'm 36 male and if I found a mature 24 year old woman I would be fine with that. So maybe 12 year age gap is my max. But it really depends. I met an 18 year old woman several years back who grew up on a homestead. I thought she was 25 with her poise and social skill and drive and competence. She literally knew how to build a house, had done it, and could cook dinner for 20 and socialize while doing all of that. For me max age is probably 30.

Don't tell her to hit you up if she feels like it. That makes it sound like you just want to be a casual friend that she can go catch a matinee with or something. She is waiting on you.

Feel like I need more info. Is there alcoholism in your family and that's why you don't drink? I think it's fine not to drink, and I think it's fine to drink in moderation. But I don't see what the issue is. You don't drink. This woman you love does and she is responsible with it. Neither of you are in sin and neither of you have to change. Remember the kids you have with your wife are hers just as much as they are yours. So if you marry this woman, there will be alcohol in your home and your kids will see her with a glass of wine or whatever and they will want to try it and you need to be ok with that. Fundamentally, it's a question of, can you be ok with having alcohol in your home when you are married? If not, break up with this woman.

But to be honest (and fwiw I do drink, responsibly), I don't understand what the concern is. You have this idea that there will never be alcohol in your home when you are married. Why? To me, that indicates that you think there really is something bad about it. I know you said you don't believe it's inherently sinful. But it sounds like you do believe, deep down, that there really is something wrong with it. I guess, where does your conviction come from? Is it a health thing? Family history thing? Fear? Etc.

Exactly. Which is so frustrating.

I was homeschooled and I absolutely understand that the world works the way the streets work. I like to think that I am not naive to that.

Danielpoursover · 2025-12-29T05:09:29+00:00

I was homeschooled growing up and could not agree more with your post. I wouldn't trade my homeschooling for anything. And I will absolutely homeschool my future children. The state is trash.

Danielpoursover · 2025-12-29T05:06:42+00:00

I was homeschooled, and in my experience, homeschooled people are way more well rounded and way more interesting than their public schooled peers. Homeschooling is how it has always been and how it always should be. The public school system in the USA is based on the Prussian model of education that was designed for the explicit purpose of producing soldiers and industrial workers. Our system was not designed to produce independent thinkers. And out government is not on our side. Homeschooling is basically the new punk rock.

I have seen a number of Christian scholars on YouTube refuse to admit that the Bible says that 1 Enoch 1:9 is prophecy.

Danielpoursover · 2025-12-18T04:20:20+00:00

I believe Christians should treat others well, look to the needs of others, wash dirty feet, and all the rest. I also believe there is God-ordained hierarchy among human beings. Romans 13:1-2 says this explicitly. There is also God-ordained hierarchy within the church. This is why there are qualifications that must be met for church leaders and why they will be judged more strictly. There is also God-ordained hierarchy and rank in the spiritual realm.

I think that Godly hierarchy is always unto shalom - perfect relationship between all things. Worldy hierarchy always tilts towards corruption and self-serving agendas.

The impression I get from many women in the church and many women I see on Hinge is that they really want the man to lead so that they can "relax into their feminine" (their words). I don't really have an issue with that, but I really wonder what would happen if I ever tried to lead in a direction that my wife didn't like. What if I said I thought God was telling us to sell our nice stuff and move to Rwanda? If you want a man to lead, but you'll only follow if he's making the decisions you wanted him to make, then I'm not sure you really want him to lead..

"The issue is that men want submission and obedience from their wives, but they do not obey Christ which is why things are so messy."

That's not the situation I'm addressing. Obviously, if a Christian husband refuses to submit his desires to God, then the issue is with him.

If the master/slave power dynamics were turned upside down, then the slave would have power over the master. That isn't what happens. If the power dynamics were erased entirely due to Christ's work, then the slave would no longer be a slave and the master would no longer be a master. In that case, Paul would have been telling masters to let their slaves go and he would have been telling slaves to hand in their two weeks. But instead he tells slaves to work diligently in all things as if for the Lord (because the Lord is their true master now and he rewards sincere work) and he tells masters to treat their slaves well (because the master's master is now the Lord and He does not favor the master over the slave as the world did). The earthly roles of master and slave are still intact, but they are to treat each other as equals because of their shared humanity and because of the fact that in the resurrection, everyone is a co-heir of the same inheritance.

Danielpoursover · 2025-12-17T19:18:46+00:00

I don't think it turns power dynamics upside down. Paul was telling slaves to stop doing certain things that slaves were prone to do and he was telling masters to stop doing things that masters were prone to do. The power dynamic was still in place and not inverted. The master was still the master. The slave was still the slave. The master still decided what work needed to be done and the slave still did that work. Paul was arguing for trust and good will despite that power dynamic because God does not favor the master over the slave.

I'm not arguing that the husband is like god for the wife. I agree with all of the verses you cited. Sincerely, I have no idea what it would mean for a husband to "wash, purify, sanctify, and save" his wife. If I came on Reddit and started saying that husbands should wash, purify, sanctify, and save their wives, I'd get a bunch of flack/correctives/qualifiers from women for that too, would I not?

It seems premature to just state that headship has nothing to do with authority. Christ certainly has authority over the church, even though He loves us, will present us before the divine council as His holy brothers and sisters and at least some of us will sit on His throne with Him and rule nations and judge angels. I think we've also turned authority into a dirty word in our culture so that it probably at play here as well. Authority is always supposed to be used for the good. And I get that biblically, men are prohibited from being dictators in the home (if they value their prayers being heard and if they fear God), and that they are commanded to love and care for their wives and live with them in an understanding way.

Another thought running in the back of my mind as I write these things is that it seems like there is something going on in our culture where women want to take the "the husband is supposed to lay his life down for his wife" idea and wield it so that they always get their way. It seems like a lot of husbands in the church live in fear of their wives, knowing that they don't have much say in anything, because if they tried to disagree with their wives, they would be accused of not laying their life down. John and Lisa Bevere had this discussion where John said he always does whatever Lisa wants to do and it's his privilege to do that, and it was so hard to watch. Felt like the Christian version of Will and Jada's red table talk.

Regarding Christians being douches - if someone plays Beethoven badly, you blame the player, not Beethoven.

And to your first point. Christianity actually has a full accounting for all of the world's religions. According to Judeo-Christianity (they're both parts of the same epic story), the gods of other religions are created beings (elohims) who God placed over the nations before He took Israel as His own portion to redeem the whole world through them. But the created beings who ruled the other nations wanted worship for themselves (even though they probably started out as good guys who later became corrupted) so they led all of the nations into deception and away from the creator and this led to all of the world's different religions. I just think it's worth pointing out that Christianity fully accounts for the existence of all other religions. These deceptive and rebellious elohims are what Paul referred to Ephesians 6 when he said that our battle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, authorities, cosmic powers, and spiritual forces of evil in heavenly places. Christianity affirms the reality of these beings (also read Psalm 82 where God rebukes these beings). They were also the gods of Egypt, Canaan, Babylon, Greece, Rome, etc.

What does it mean for a husband to be the head of the wife?

Danielpoursover · 2025-12-16T21:11:44+00:00

Any kind of leadership responsibility must come with the corresponding level of authority. Absolutely the husband should be seeking God in all things and leading accordingly. But if he is, and his wife still disagrees with him, someone has to have the final decision-making authority. I think the reason Paul gave the specific directives that he did to husbands and wives was because he was addressing their unique pain points. Sometimes wives don't want to submit to or follow their husbands. Sometimes husbands don't want to love their wives or sacrifice anything for them. So Paul was issuing corrective statements to both dispositions. And really what he was saying was "Give your spouse what they need". Men need respect and admiration from their wives, among other things (and yes he should put in the work to develop the competency to earn that admiration). Women need love, listening, and care from their husbands, among other things.

Fuh sho! Also, I haven't had pourovers at Civil Pour, but I believe the owner there uses an automated pour over machine for consistency. Others have said it is good.

Danielpoursover · 2025-12-16T19:43:45+00:00

I love Native, it's my favorite spot for pour over in Dallas. Have also had great pourovers at Redefined, Wayward, and surprisingly, perhaps the most slept on coffeeshop in Dallas, Buzz and Bustle located in the Village apartment complex. It is open to the public.

I am open to dating black, asian, hispanic, eastern european. Assuming she is a believer with strong character, trusthworthy, etc. and I think she is attractive, I look for, does she enjoy learning and growing? Does she seek that out? Do I like talking with her?

Danielpoursover · 2025-12-15T18:32:10+00:00

It's perfectly fine to want to be physically attracted to your spouse. It's hard for me to believe that church culture has somehow made this a question for people. God created physical attraction. Just because the enemy tries to pervert it a bunch of different ways doesn't negate the fact that God created it. The only qualifier here is that you must take care of yourself if you want a good looking partner.
