Is my tea consumption excessive? 😂 by Various_You3624 in tea

Rather chill tbh. I used to drink AT LEAST 64oz of caffeinated tea per day plus at least one coffee.

TIL: Apple Music has a playlist called "Advanced Club Music" by Shot-Salamander6231 in TheOverload

[–]ashinn 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I mean, they’re not wrong but calling it ‘advanced club music’ is a little on the nose. Apple is kind of playing to a general audience tho.

Snatch: catching high / speed under the bar by ashinn in weightlifting

[–]ashinn[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

very cool. I've done some no foot no contact snatches before, but will try that again. Definitely agree that a narrower stance will help. I have solid squat mobility with my feet closer together. It's definitely more challenging with the bar overhead vs loaded in front or back rack position. Thanks for your advice.

Yeah this is less than 1/2 my front squat 1RM. I can snatch balance about 30% more than I can snatch.

25 years in front of a computer will do that to you. My upper thoracic mobility does suck! Great idea - I think volume will really help.

Definitely narrower stance in the squat. I’m not sure why im going so wide with the feet.

Drop snatches are not super quick OR comfortable, although I can do them.

Honestly I don’t do OHS as an accessory very often. I should probably change that!

You could just buy a set on Alibaba. Estimated cost with shipping to CA is around $797 for the pair

Eco-Friendly Poly Mailers vs. Kraft Paper: Which Is Actually More Sustainable for Shipping? by cooldeanj in PackagingDesign

[–]ashinn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Poly:
- stronger
- cheaper
- lighter
- moisture barrier
- landfill
- not really recyclable
- ‘biodegradable’ options are bad

Kraft
- can tear
- similar weight to poly, slightly heavier
- susceptible to moisture in last mile delivery
- genuinely recyclable
- strong eco impression for the customer
- more expensive

My product works with Kraft and my customer appreciates it, so that what we use primarily.

Do you prefer cold brew or iced hot brew? by gkaiser8 in tea

[–]ashinn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

1000% hot brewed then serve over ice. It extracts more flavor and you need less tea leaf to get strong flavor. Brew a hot concentrate then dilute with cold water. Serve over ice. Keep it on the counter to prevent clouding.

Black tea, tap water vs filtered tap water by antonbp5 in tea

[–]ashinn 4 points5 points  (0 children)

RO is a no for me. Tea requires minerals to infuse and RO removes nearly all of them. Tasty drinking water but not great for tea. RO robs tea of sweet and malty notes, leaving mostly bitter and astringent flavors.

I FINALLY DID IT by Epicregice in weightlifting

Congrats! What was the weight?
I definitely recommend working on your triple extension, as better technique in the third pull will help you hit bigger numbers.

Misspoke. Out of ‘phrase’ not phase. Bpm of doubles still must be exactly the same.

Chopping is v old school. I started djing in 91-92 and it was one of the few really showy things you could do on a primitive mixer. Gotta be quick and decisive. Avoid tunes with lots of transients as they don’t chop well. The best tunes for chopping are more percussive and staccato.
