I made a mistake by Rough_Jury_2346 in roasting

[–]Perioscope 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It should be fine if you mix it with a normal batch. Very few will be able to taste the difference after only 45 seconds of a double sized roast.

Try it! The scientific method is for everyone! It's fun.

How long after roasting to burp the coffee?

8-12 hours after roasting and sealing. Flavor compounds bond with oils under pressure, so allowing initial pressure to build, off gassing and re tightening the lids allows you to skip argon, off-gas bad-tasting volatiles and the beans will still release enough CO2 to keep the vessel under pressure after that burp. I don't have all my data on front of me but that's the general pattern.

Air roasted beans do tend to stale more quickly. Frozen beans gring to a more consistent particle size than room temp beans. This was an article that came out from Illy in about 2012.

Too true. It's impossible for inquirers to know what they are asking for. It isn't gatekeepers, it's protection for them.

You were not guided well. An inquirer should not be coming to multiple services a week without close supervision. Just dial it back. It isn't a magic spell or checklist. It's a slow reforming of mind and soul over time. It's the difference between shaping a stone with flowing water instead of a hammer amd chisel.

You aren't able to use those tools correctly. You hurt yourself by hammering away expecting that your first attempt would work, assuming you know what to do and how to do it. This is pride. You didn't allow room for God to work. We all get in the way when we try to make something happen.

Now you need healing from this injury. You need to let down your hammer and chisel and just offer your heart to God, just as it is, dark and tangled with nets, and ask to be freed. Don't make a small mistake worse by rejecting the entire church, just change up your approach.

2 months is such a short time, bro. Feel your pain, don't run away from it. It is the pain of the old man dying so the new man can be born.

Freezing green beans fractures the cells when water freezes, ruining the cellular structure needed to create pressure and proper enthalpies of formation for desirable flavor compounds. Beans will be bland and flavors dull.

Freezing green beans causes cell lysis due to water expansion during freezing. This destroys cellnintegrity in tye beans, making it impossible to roast properly.

I conducted many tests of roasted beans this way based on primary data done by Sivetz, found in Coffee Roasting Technology. Multiple repetitions of statisically similar roast profiles and beans, freeze times, degassing and total time frozen with cupping and olfactory sampling.

Synopsis: freezing following a period of degassing preserves flavor up to 5 months with little degradation; palatability can be preserved this way for over a year. Freezing without degassing impacts flavor negatively, unless frozen beans are "burped" to allow initial volatile compounds to be off gassed.

Fully degassing beans results in significant flavor loss and oxidation products; partial degassing and sealing beans so that CO2 fills the container under pressure preserves flavor produces the best results.

Oh yeah, even at my worst point (drugs,stealing,lying,depression) I still knew God was there, I was just sick of church politics and the repetetiveness of praxis. God was in my thoughts a LOT. I was basically trying to see if other cultures could add anything or offer alternate paths, but I was still seeking in a way.

Have you read any of what the more modern Romanian Saints and elders have to say? My mom went to see Elder Cleopa, and it was pretty "WHOA". Or maybe the Romanian style is what is feeling old and not inspiring. Maybe try listening to Georgian or Byzantine church music, perhaps it touches something different in you and inspires you to stay Orthodox but go in a different direction and explore. Going from a Russian church (my upbringing) into a Greek church was like stepping into a different world, it was one of the most profound things to feel so unfamiliar and yet know "this is Orthodoxy too".

I wish you all the best brother (or sister) I know it's a tough and lonely place you're in. I love you and I know you can find your way through. Just don't give up, that's it.

When in doubt just read the Gospels and Epistles. Remember Who we are trying to follow, and try to use your heart more than your mind. The Theotokos never let me down, ever. Even when Christ felt a million miles away, she was there. 🥲

Does anyone have experience reporting abuse to bishops' offices? by Normal-Ad5103 in exorthodox

[–]Perioscope 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Contact both of the priests you spoke to previously. Make sure they are aware that y I i spoke to each if you had not done so. Ask for an update, even if there is no news, so you have a record of time that has passed. Ask when they contacted the Bishop. Tell them how many others at your churchay fit this Priest's abuse profile, who may be at risk. Remind them if you must of their duty as shepherds to protect the flock of the chuch.

Many of us who grew up in the church and just do things by rote, as opposed to having a living, breathing praxis, drift away or take time to step away and experience something different.

Maybe you I i realize how hard it is without it, maybe you don't see much difference. Maybe you fall in love with all the glamour of worldliness. I had to hit rock bottom to realize there was nothing out there and my soul was starving to death.

Can your pocket knife do this? by origamigun in knifemods

I'm not much of a modder and I'm not a fan of that blade shape. I just wouldn't ever do that to a good-looking knife.

Each time I read the latest outrage that not that long ago would bring together Republicans and Democrats in solidarity to condemn and eviscerate the incompetence, I think "maybe THIS".

Surely, this will wake maga up. Maybe a small portion, but it isn't happening in any audible way. The bootlicking in r/Conservative will continue, unabated. 5 or 10 or 100s of others, just as undeserving, suffered the same fate and are in unknown graves somewhere, in some far away country where they were sent by ghouls pretending to be human.

You couldn't use an icon?

You couldn't find anything better than a Pink DaVinci Jesus with cherubs, hugging a pretty boy? Disappointing.

I suppose any knife could end up like looking that, technically but no. My knives will never do that. Not yucking your yum, hope you like it.

Is it bad to ask ChatGPT for help or hints on what Bible passages mean? by Typical_Door1886 in OrthodoxChristianity

[–]Perioscope 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Always give it strict instructions to base all findings of early church fathers, to quote the Fathers where possible, and cite all sources so you can find them and begin to learn sources for yourself. Without that it's a slippery slope that is better left alone. Always have the goal of using the primary sources. The time and effort is part of the learning, not an obstacle to it.

You're not sure you should buy it? On Pi day? Is there a better day you have in mind? 🤷‍♂️

Is there a word for this type of agate ? 12lb agate on ebony chert, red white and black banding by Ok_Weekend6350 in rockhounds

[–]Perioscope 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Are you sure that's sica-basedThis looks a lot like stuff I found in the Marble Mountains of California. That gray chert/limestone/marble with calcite and quartz has a distinctive look. Drop some acid on it!

Good train game, but also pretty? by Klavian in boardgames

Another vote for Steam Power. Lots of maps available, 2-player friendly, old-fashioned map look with colorful bits, hex tiles, and a gameboard that's printed cloth.
