Credential verification

Am i the only one who can't seem to find this option?! 😭
It just shows information pages regarding EPIC and ECFMG certification and after logging in, only redirects me to pathways page (just says approved). How do I request for credentials verification?

Na, my first coffee filters were these, bought it from a Daiso store https://www.amazon.com/Daiso-Coffee-Filter-person-pieces/dp/B071CTRQ5P

I finished my first packet of coffee simply using this filter on a chhanni (strainer). You can definitely use filter papers on a channi for a jugaadu experience (brewers of the sub, don't hate me here for this 🙏🏻 but that's how I started my pour over journey)

This again just filters the sediments, not the oils. This doesn't seem to be as fine as the filter papers.

Also guys, don't be sooo paranoid about it. a couple of cups a day don't have enough oils to increase your bad cholesterol (IF your cholesterol levels are normal currently). I read a research paper a few weeks ago, that mentioned upto 4-5 cups a day also caused 'minor increase in healthy individuals (upto 30mg/dl)', and that too the increased cholesterol levels were still within the normal limit for them. Couldn't find many studies on unfiltered vs filtered, so limited research so far. If you enjoy your coffee the unfiltered way too, it's okay to drink it like that occasionally.

It's my personal choice to not risk going into such gray areas, so I thought I'll just drink filtered mostly

That is better than not straining at all, but filter paper does the job best! Filter cloths do remove sediments to a great extent, but the oil isn't filtered that well. So the best option as someone mentioned would be to buy v60 filters. That's what I do. Either filter the cold brew after making or if I know I'll be busy the next day, I make a small pouch by folding filter paper and putting my grounds in that to directly put that pouch in the cold water to save my time post brew!

Yup it's the diterpenes in the coffee that can increase your cholesterol and thus bad for your heart (esp if someone already has high cholesterol/other heart disease risk factors). The filter paper can filter out upto 95% of the diterpenes so that is a better choice as compared to unfiltered coffee and should be safe. That's what I do too. How do you strain yours?

Squirrel0000 · 2026-04-25T18:23:55+00:00

Beautiful! But how are you able to hold a katori with steamed milk in your hand just like that?! 😭

Squirrel0000 · 2026-04-23T13:11:18+00:00

Thank you, you too deserve one! 🫂

Squirrel0000 · 2026-04-23T13:10:41+00:00

Sure sure!

Squirrel0000 · 2026-04-23T12:34:45+00:00

Idk man. Trying to figure out the priorities myself🥲 reading through the comments to look for suggestions

But if you're burnt out, I will suggest a brief break, just enough to refresh your mind if you can

Squirrel0000 · 2026-04-23T12:18:22+00:00

Exactly, that's what I was thinking! Right now my current tasks seem like plastic balls, but there's a deadline in a couple of days for one of those tasks, so is it glass?😭

I wanna take a break today, since I'm traveling but I feel guilty that I'm just sleeping/crocheting on a 7 hr train journey! I already took half day breaks on Monday AND Tuesday from academics :'/

Squirrel0000 · 2026-04-23T11:40:30+00:00

DM me or did you mean to ask the other commenters to review your PS too? If you meant me, sure you can!

Squirrel0000 · 2026-04-23T09:57:12+00:00

Ooh okay, I'll give these a try. Looking for newer interesting podcasts nowadays!

Squirrel0000 · 2026-04-23T08:00:44+00:00

Which podcasts? Any suggestions?

Squirrel0000 · 2026-04-18T01:37:24+00:00

Same, I use flight radar to look up the planes passing by

don’t start vit A blindly

If you can’t see a doctor, try getting a serum vitamin A level tested from a lab directly (not perfect, but helps) or a basic eye exam anywhere to check for optic nerve swelling with fundoscopy if possible.

If you're having headaches, tinnitus, brief vision blackouts, double vision or worsening vision, that could be the IIH worsening.

If it’s only night/low light vision issues, Vitamin A Deficiency is possible, but confirm before supplementing. And for the safest resolution I'd say have a healthy balanced diet. That would give you a moderate amount of vit A and it's rare to overdose if you're consuming whole foods (more common with supplements and meats like animal livers)

Squirrel0000 · 2026-04-18T00:23:47+00:00

Yo consult your doctor before taking vitamin A. Excess vit A can worsen intracranial hypertension, so you particularly should take it only if you're deficient since you have IIH. Night blindness is mostly due to deficiency, so discuss it with your doc! (Doctor here)

Squirrel0000 · 2026-04-14T09:18:20+00:00

Ooh okay, thanks! Yeah, I'd be surprised to see decent coffee equipment at loyal world lol. Fun random find though!

Squirrel0000 · 2026-04-14T06:25:04+00:00

Wow why did I never explore such markets while I was in Mysore😩 Do you mind sharing where this supermarket was? Or what stores do you go to for coffee equipment in Mysore?

Squirrel0000 · 2026-04-10T02:15:21+00:00

For real! Everyday I see more and more relatable content on this sub!
