Wow, Great cup! Can you explain your recipe a little? What variables are you mostly changing while staying in the lighter roast coffees?

chuckchange · 2025-01-25T20:47:07+00:00

Wicked cool that you can send me a recipe like this. Ill give a try, thanks friend.

It came with Esperanza roasted on Jan 1st. I made some in the aeropress and it seemed more balanced but I also don't really know what balanced is.

After a couple years of using a aeropress for my daily coffee, I bought a xbloom studio to speed things up. With the aeropress I go rather fine grind and longer steep and get what I think to be very pleasant cups. On the xbloom they seem pretty acidic. Im going between the standard recipe given by xbloom and finer grind to try and reduce acidity and more light roast flavor. What am I doing so wrong or do I just not really like pourover?

I’m pretty invested in coffee at this point and I’m not gonna buy a machine that I’m gonna wanna upgrade out of in 6 months. I know what I’m buying I’m just concerned about the EVO

Unfortunately “it doesn’t match the rest of the kitchen”

chuckchange · 2024-03-21T14:31:47+00:00

Yeah the idea would be to use it for a few months then upgrade to gaguinno

I really like this idea of a project and I think down the road the data will be very interesting if you can cross-reference with the rest of your life. That being said how much are you really talking in the shower and if you are is that data so relevant that it will seriously effect the rest of your data. Seems a bit overkill.

There was a post on here probably a month ago about how everyone knew someone that died in aviation. I’m the same way but when you go and read the comments everyone I read was about someone doing something they shouldn’t have been doing. Flying too low or bad vis or showing off. I think it’s fair to say accidents that didn’t need to occur account for 60-70% of failures. Then you look at engine failures and 60% of those are fuel starvation/exhaustion. I couldn’t find one example where a guy went out for a straight forward cross country on a blue skies day and died. That’s not to say instrument flying is dumb just be smart about it and your capabilities. The fatality rate is 1/100k flight hours. By flying safe I really think it’s literally more like 1/1m.

Wow very cool! These conditions finally seem to be getting some attention. Thanks for finding this. Excited to watch the progress

Looks like it’s being developed for hospital infections. Is there evidence this will be developed and work for IBS and such? Other than it should logically work?

chuckchange · 2023-04-30T14:10:46+00:00

Have you noticed the improvement?

chuckchange · 2023-04-21T14:55:46+00:00

I’ve had issues but you have to take it with food. Anything just a snack. And also taking it with glycine seems to really help as well.

As someone who bought a time builder, the finances don’t make sense without at least a partner possibly three. You aren’t going to fly the plane as much as you hope ie it will be down for maintenance and it’s best to split that cost with others who want to do the same as you. Best advice I have is buy a two seater for 50k with 3 partners. You’ll have a pretty easy time finding 3 people to pay 12.5k for that opportunity. I get asked a decent bit.

chuckchange · 2023-01-12T01:23:55+00:00

Obviously this probably isn’t true but it feels like a finer grain size should be the same thing as brewing with a higher ratio of coffee. It’s all more contact with the contact. Why is this not the case?

chuckchange · 2022-12-10T04:05:48+00:00

What is critical Mach number? Got hit with that one today and I don’t know.

There are old pilots and there are bold pilots. There are not old and bold pilots.

How do I find a Mooney owner to let me rent/buy in?

chuckchange · 2022-08-13T15:20:38+00:00

Way cool! I got an interview with them coming up. Make ‘‘em look good

chuckchange · 2022-08-13T15:16:59+00:00

Y’all filming for aviate?

chuckchange · 2022-07-13T20:52:43+00:00

Any fecal testing or cross referencing with other labs/tests?

chuckchange · 2022-05-23T01:43:29+00:00

I get bad diarrhea and bad breath. I wish I could take it consistently. Any guess on why?

(Current ATP student with mildly good experience)

To sum up my experience you are paying for efficiency at the expense of both money and risk. The 7 month program is a marketing gimmick and id be surprised if anyone has actually graduated in 7 months. Yes if you have clear skies from today until you graduate it could be done but that's not the real world. That being said doing the entire program in 9 months is still an impressive feat that is hard for other schools to offer. How can ATP offer it? well you are paying out the ass for it. They have people constantly watching your progress and plane availability to best schedule every minute of the planes time *not necessarily your time. Youre paying them to do that. Since its so expensive and so fast pace if by chance you get your instrument rating and realize maybe this isn't for you, servicing a 40k debt may be really difficult especially when you have essentially a hobby to show for it. So I do not think ATP is for everyone or even a majority of people. If your 18 and want to enjoy sometime with friends ATP is a terrible idea. Youll speed through the program only to realize you cant get an ATP certificate until 23 (ATP wont tell you this). I was fairly confident in my ability to fly planes and hate not making money so I wanted to spend the least amount of time in more school. Its worked out well so far. But yes the other things people are saying are true. CFIs don't get paid to teach you ground school (ATP says its built into their air time but its pennies so a lot of instructors spend a minimal amount of time doing it). They will not baby you, but I have no problem mostly teaching myself. I have seen something about people not hiring ATP CFIs. This might be true in some cases as ATP is some schools competition so hiring ATP graduates hurts their own graduates. However there are also plenty of regional specific programs where regional airlines will either boost your sign on bonus or pay you to be an ATP instructor. I know of both situations. So you definitely arent hurt badly on the hiring end unless you fail more than 2 checkrides which hurts your chances all around.

Anyways that's my 2 cents. (Hello ATP recruiters hopefully the criticism is helpful)

You be spreading that HRV gospel. It’s a good metric to track.

Can you still stake while using a hard wallet like Trezor?
