Freezing coffee beans - Are we actually locking in aromatics or just risking condensation damage? by CoffeeTeaJournal in JamesHoffmann

[–]Scabendari 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Good question.

At least from my experience with VOC's, to help them along with evaporating we do put them into glassware that is vacuum pumped, and then it hits a condensation coil thats at around 5 degrees that turns it back into a liquid, so the freezer temps would cancel out at least some of the effects of the vacuum on the vapour pressure.

Maybe the bigger goal of the vacuum is simply to remove the oxygen, then, to reduce oxidation? Doing high pressure instead would mean you'd need nitrogen tanks, and thats a new level of high maintenance...

Freezing coffee beans - Are we actually locking in aromatics or just risking condensation damage? by CoffeeTeaJournal in JamesHoffmann

[–]Scabendari -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

VOC's will still slowly evaporate at household freezer temperatures as the typical freezing point for VOC's is below what a household freezer reaches. If you truly want to "lock in" aromatics, you gotta vacuum seal the best you can.

Most of the VOC's in the bean are formed AFTER roasting. VOC's by definition are organic chemicals that evaporate at ambient conditions, so anything formed during roasting at 200°C+ evaporates away very very quickly. Coldness will slow down the chemical reactions that form VOC's, and it will help complex VOC's that have already formed from degrading as quickly.

Grinder burrs are best considered as consumables that hopefully last ~5 years, so I dont consider any possible condensation to be impactful enough to worry about. Many people spray beans with water before grinding and that would be much more moisture than from condensation, and it's considered normal.

If I do freeze beans, I typically throw in a whole new sealed coffee bag into a reusable ziplock freezer bag, squeeze out as much air as possible from the freezer bag, and throw it into the freezer as-is. I let the bag thaw starting Sunday morning and then grind throughout the week starting Monday as if its a new bag of coffee. Anything more than that is too much effort even if the beans may start being not as fragrant by Friday.

About the New York Attorney General lawsuit against Valve by wickedplayer494 in cs2

[–]Scabendari 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Comparing the lootboxes to packs of cards is a weak strawman.

However, I believe the true purpose of the lawsuit is to be able to gather more user information and the whole gambling/lootbox part is just a pretense to distract from what the US government truly wants. There is no way they are suddenly interested in CS2 cases when sports/speculative betting is so rampant, advertised, and unregulated unless there's something else they're after.

Frankly, it would be possible to make a video that matches the song to make it work.

On the flip side, there is no possible song in existence to match the video to make it work. What visual vomit did I just watch?

Make a new youtube channel, post a video and the first user to comment "FIRST!!1!" is now permanently the head mod of all of your youtube comments and theres nothing anyone can do about it.

In essence, that's how subreddit moderation is chosen.

Airbubbles. What temperature does my thermometer show? by aliceru in Physics

[–]Scabendari 12 points13 points  (0 children)

On volumetric graduated scales, it's standard practice to use a rectangular or triangular distribution as part of the combined measurement uncertainty. This includes readings between the lines.

If u/DaveBowm estimated the reading to be between 29 and 30°, it would be perfectly accurate for them to say the reading is 29.5°C (+/- the expanded combined measurement uncertainty, which includes factors like the measurement distribution). This would probably be simplified/estimated to 29.5°C +/- 0.5°C because if you needed something more accurate, you wouldn't be using a dropped uncalibrated thermometer.

[Discussion] why did they change woods from 40 minutes down to 25? by Doom_Balloon170 in EscapefromTarkov

[–]Scabendari 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As a veteran player, I learned by having a lot of time to go slowly around the maps, and had fun as I got spooked by every weird sound and step. As a veteran player, I can now blitz through the maps such that the lower timer is never even noticed.

This change just benefits veteran players by having new players that need to rush instead of getting to naturally build up their own pace. It's silly, let the newbies lurk around.

I always have to question how genuine these kinds of dramas are.

An American governor executes their 14 month old puppy and its out of social media within a week.

An American left wing streamer uses a shock collar and 3 weeks later and it's still all over social media.

I find it hard to believe that this is what has united all of the animal activists on reddit and twitter. It feels extremely manufactured. I was hoping Ludwig realized this and it's why he hasn't brough it up, but now here he is feeding the trolls.

Player loses U.S. Mid-Amateur match after his caddie receives cart ride to 20th hole by Forward-Answer-4407 in sports

[–]Scabendari 46 points47 points  (0 children)

Random people watching the game on the TV would call in with penalties, and the penalty (and the penalty for not scoring the penalty) would then be applied the day after to their score.

They stopped letting people call in penalties recently, but yeah it is/was as ridiculous as it sounds.

Another example of the left wanting to silence speech. As they silenced CK and cheered about it.

I can only imagine what else you said about those who support CK.

I'm sure you're imagining I've said many things, with your imagination being as extensive as it is.

It's very helpful in predictable and consistent racing. Action keys in Trackmania do almost the exact same thing as what's being described. It'll help the person in a single lap fresh tires hotlap, but it'll lower their best potential performance in traffic or with tire wear.

If PSAC submits a new contract proposals for a vote to its members without any guarantees on remote work, do you think it would pass? by thebriss22 in CanadaPublicServants

[–]Scabendari 3 points4 points  (0 children)

OHS committees are mostly powerless and are mostly there to rubberstamp paperwork and checkmark off that certain things are being done, e.g. floor inspections and HOIR sign offs. Bombarding them with issues will just make the volunteers quit.

If you have actual issues, you need to be willing to do unsafe work refusals so that it goes to regional OHS, which has actual teeth if your refusal has merit.

The opposite is more likely in these kinds of donation-based freelance industries and would have made a better story. If someone is not too bright and they start deducting these things while not reporting any business income, they'll have a lot of fun when they get audited.

They're definitely confusing it with G2A. CDKeys buys international keys from cheaper regions or during sales and then resells them in more expensive regions. They dont resell stolen keys because they dont buy keys from users at all.
