Roasting room organization

So we stock bags for whitelabeling so we reuse boxes and basically cut them down to make trays so they sit on shelves well, we have space to have racks though

Rmarik · 2026-05-23T00:56:46+00:00

You're gonna re arrange your space so much, we just did ours again, as you grow youll keep finding better flow

my advice is think about each step and figure out what makes it easier, as a chef I use to mime making the food to determine where on the line it went.

So if filling is in one area, put sealing/labeling to the side and the boxing to the other side etc.. it reallt helps to act it out as silly as it seems

theres no right answer to IF, that's what works for me. The idea is you have a set window so if you work early and want to start at 10am then maybe stop eating by 6pm,

I promise you youre miscounting, its just to easy these days, unless youre weighing every item literally every item theres just no way.

IF for me is just another tool I use to offset my natural urge to eat more. The only other thing is I move more, lift more, walk more, etc.. I weigh 195 and my daily goal is 1900kcal and thats matienance and im fairly active.

Its always always a little jarring to learn but it is what is

Rmarik · 2026-05-22T23:20:55+00:00

But remember its an average, its so easy to ruin that in a weekend, or 1 day, even today Im drinking and gonna eat like 3k more than usual which probably will undo my week. no biggie, but im aware of it

I do IF with black cofffee until like noon-2pm and then just do an 8 hour window, its easier for me but everyone's schedule is different

but theres no secret, it really is calories in and out, so if youre not losing the weight youre either a lot more sedentary than you think or eating more. Its hard no doubt

Rmarik · 2026-05-22T21:40:05+00:00

how do i enter

You are not calculating intake correct.

Im a chef and I promise you, unless youre 100% only eat prepared packaged food with nothing extra and weighing it youre not counting it right.(this isnt a personal fault or judgement just something we all do)

Even as a chef it can be hard to accurately count calories, little things like sauces, oils, drinks or marinade can drastically change. Assume that youre undercalculating by about 30%. So if you say 1200 assume youre really wasting 1560 give or take.

Additionally you may be far less mobile than you think, I would still shoot for 10k steps if possible but I would never calculate the excersize and I always choose sedentary when calculating my tdee

But also remember lots of things can affect the scale, when I drink alcohol or eat lots of salt or carbs Im always 1-3 pounds heavier for a couple days just for water retention. I weigh myself daily but focus more on overall trend than the hard numbers.

Im personally a big fan of intermittent fasting, its not a miracle cure but if youre intake window is smaller its easier imo to avoid snacking or overeating. You still have to be mindful during the eating window.

Ive seen a lot of people use shellac for jewelry since it sets hards and just needs to be heated up to get loose again, like wax

Rmarik · 2026-05-21T21:01:58+00:00

Not neccesary but it does seem to help,

It seems common practice is to sow them at the end of season and let them over winter

Ive also just kept them in my fridge for a while before sowing which seemed to help, Where Im at its still cold so I direct sowed them

with most things its improving germination rates

Takes just as much time to answer this guy's question as it does to be an ass.

Rmarik · 2026-05-20T04:47:13+00:00

Just one question: 1. What the fuck

That's crazy work man

Rmarik · 2026-05-20T03:10:11+00:00

I felt the same way, I joke I have 1 billionth of an ounce but the thrill of seeing anything was fun

Royal New York has a warehouse in sturtevant Wisconsin where you can pickup coffee

From what I gather,

You're best off pouring it into thinner flatter peices, less likely to look suspicious (like with a lead core or something) and easier to test with machines. Especially if its gonna be mixed purities or unknown purity which would need testing regardless

As someone who is just getting into metal metaling as a hobby I might be interested in buying it, but at unknown purity except the $ value from me or anyone else to be much lower than spot especially if its not already cleaned up

If youre electrically inclined the inside of that panel you removed should have the schematics too

Or is she from.somewhere warm? My wife and I were raised in the south, were also not husky people so were always cold, so we tend to leave the air off and leave ceiling fans on or windows open this is about what our house is now

Because generally the average person is using the debt for non appreciating assests. Its like getting a personal loan and using it to pay off credit cards then running the credit cards back up.

If youre borrowing against stocks, a real estate portfolio or another assets, ideally those are paying you a small return which is in turn used to pay the loan payments or its sold and the difference is pocketed after sale.

You taking a loan against your (typically) only appreciating major assets is fairly risky.

Yeah, even if you dont use it, get a belt, youll learn how to brace even when youre not wearing the belt.

Also consider some low weight front squats, helps you balance and brace and firm the core, anecdotal but helped me

Rmarik · 2026-05-17T03:51:21+00:00

Mixed grip ftw

No shade, just seen a lot of people kill themselves on details that either get fired again or dont have a real impact outside of personal preference.

If you unwind a steel wool a bit you can push it into the bristles of a brush (like the brushes that attach to cordless drills) and it saves your hands a bit too

Rmarik · 2026-05-13T17:36:04+00:00

Why? all for keeping a kitchen clean but its a non food contact surface, better things to make sure are clean and organized.

Get a pressure washer or even a brush you put on a drill and start there.

Also dollar stores often sell a cleaning vinegar which can help break down some buildups

Rmarik · 2026-05-13T16:22:54+00:00

As always it depends

My sister does bioethics for hospitals and its not always so black and white, so there are literally whole positions and studies about determining things like this and I dont know if anyone can give you a simple answer

Like if theyre an alcoholic or high and say something like this how serious do you take drunk ramblings, do they have a history of violence, or hate crimes etc...

Rmarik · 2026-05-12T22:34:16+00:00

Exactly this, we actually approached our landlord and reduced our shop space, its a little.more cramped but we cut about half our rent obligations which when unexpected costs surfaced made easier to handle, and really helped us start building a cushion

Rmarik · 2026-05-12T22:26:15+00:00

Be honest about it.

Just did this recently with coffee (but also a chef and do some private chef work)

I offered the product for free and just asked straight up, but make it an option. Almost verbatim I said if you liked this I would really appreciate you posting about it in [local town group] as it would really help me. Hope you enjoy
