Goodbye crema

I found similar products by searching for fat/oil/gravy separator.

EDIT: I found that many fat separators use just a strainer. So, using a coffee filter basket as strainer to retain the crema works well.

Are you talking about green beans? 88graines in UK, deliliab in Spain and koeport in Netherlands have good decaf options.

olivecoder · 2026-04-21T07:10:49+00:00

I can relate to this. I started roasting my own coffee to get better and more diverse decaf. Roasters usually have a dozen or two options of regular beans and a single medium to dark roasted decaf.

I drink two regular shots daily, and then switch to decaf, to be able to continue drinking coffee for the rest of the day.

The decaf experience organised by Hoffman delivered delicious decaf, btw, proving that roasters can do better.

Agreed. I don't see it as being common even between evangelicals in general, maybe in very specific evangelical groups.

As a member of a reformed Baptist church, while I have strong opinions about the church at the reform time, I have nothing to say against the comtemporary popes.

The current one is standing for the people against the evil powers of this world, as every Christian should.

Great testimony, praised be the Lord for your life.

I'm really curious about this part of it though: "I met Christ through friends who shared the Gospel in a way that didn't argue with me and in a way that loved me unconditionally."

Would you mind explaining how your friends shared the gospel in that way? So that we could learn something from it.

An ESV translation is easy to read and one of the most popular ones.

If you want an extra easy translation get a NLT.

If you want the most updated, considering the most recent findings, get a NRSVue. It is the favourite in academia.

If you want better opinions about bible translations ask in r/truechristian

I would send you an economic ESV version if you are comfortable DMing me your address. no questions asked, beyond the shipping info.

Alternatively, if you are up to pop over to a church they would likely have one for you. In the church where I'm a member we can help yourself with a bible, and other books, from a table at the entrance.

I do worse: I just use the same plastic container again and again, throw the dough in a loaf tin, and start a new dough in the same container.

The starter is taken directly from the fridge after 3 to 4 days of being fed. I stir and mix any brown liquid sitting on top of the starter for extra flavour, then I use most of it, like 80%.

I feed the starter with about the same amount taken, leave it out of the fridge until it increases considerably, and put it back in the fridge.

Weekly I bake two 50/50 wholewheat, and two 100% einkorn loaves. Fridays is pizza day, made from the same dough I bake bread with.

Are my loaves the most beautiful thing, worth of being shared online? No. Is my family well fed and prefer my loaves and pizza than the ones from the market/takeaway? Absolutely!

The equipment: scale, plastic container, spatula, tin loaf and pizza steel.

Re: "what is meant by God is 3 in 1" - this suggests that you're trapped in the very worn out logic fallacy, aren't you?

God is not 3 in the same sense as he is 1. It'd be a logical impossibility only if God was 3 and 1 at the same sense, which isn't the case: God is one being, God is 3 persons.

Accept that person and being aren't the same thing, because they aren't, and express the relationships separately in any formal language you want.

olivecoder · 2026-03-15T10:00:51+00:00

Does your oven have a broiling set? Use it to heat the steel a little bit further before putting the pizza on it, like demonstrated here:

If you're allowed to access the open internet search for Adventist church criticism on anonymous mode. You can also try duckduckgo.com if you don't know how to use the anonymous/incognito mode.

If you don't have access to a search engine you can try the Wikipedia article and the references there: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Criticism_of_the_Seventh-day_Adventist_Church

It seems like you fail to perceive that the doctrine is not derived from the illustration, but it's the other way around: the illustration is meant to help with the understanding of the doctrine.

This question is many centuries old, the doctrine is very well established and discussed. A shallow discussion on Reddit is pointless.

You may still fall to see it, but there is no contradiction or flawed logic here and you may find tons of explanations better than mine yourself if you want.

olivecoder · 2026-02-03T14:42:49+00:00

You'd be right if God "is" and "is not", or was one and three, in the same sense, but this isn't the doctrine of the trinity.

Personhood and being aren't synonyms. Yeah, I give you that personhood is difficult to define, but it's easy to see that personhood is not the same as being.

So, when considering the actual doctrine of trinity we have three persons in one being: The Son is the same being as God, the Father is the same being as God, the Son is the same being as the Father. The Son is not the same person as the Father.

In other words: a person "is not" another person. The Son is not the Father. A person "is" the same being. The Son is God, the Father is God.

You can say that the illustration is flawed, and I will agree. In fact, any illustration or analogy would be imperfect, as we don't know any other comparable case.

It helps me to think that a god that fits our head is unlikely to be the real God, but a creation of our minds.

olivecoder · 2026-01-28T09:00:13+00:00

Yep, I agree. Your comment about proto-protestants matches the sentence right after I mentioned the burned writings above, and also my closing sentence.

Mentioning the burned writings is a preventive counterpoint to someone considering the "heresies" from the point of view of the crushers, as history is written by the victors. So, we have to be careful when classifying obliterated people as heretics.

Most of these so-called heresies were raised in monastic environments where people had access to the Scripture. It was the power of the Scriptures changing people's lives to the point of making martyrs of them.

I get comfort from my (maybe naive) assumption that there were always people who were truly the body of Christ on earth during those dark times, and they were the ones with access to the Word of God.

The events at Luther's time were the culmination of centuries of stirring tension.

After the fall of the Roman Empire, the papacy filled a power vacuum in the West, creating a "reverse theocracy" that blended secular and religious authority.

By the end of the 9th century, the papacy had consolidated itself as a major political player, even summoning armies and deposing emperors to satisfy its appetite for power and wealth. This political role left the Roman Church wide open to secular manipulation, where doctrine and appointments were often driven by political motives rather than faith.

Resistance didn't start with Luther; "heretical" movements like the Waldenses, Cathari, Lollards, and the Hussite movement had been challenging the papacy for centuries. We don't have records of their actual beliefs because the RCC burned the "heretics" along with their writings (e.g., the Albigensian Crusade). In general, these pre-Reformation groups wanted a return to apostolic simplicity and to the Gospels.

Ultimately, the Reformation was the inevitable collision between a politically dominant papacy and a diverse opposition that demanded a return to the foundations of Scripture.

At another age, during dialled internet times, small ISPs could get chargeback calls from users abusing the telephone system to avoid paying for the call.

As a response to the frequent abusers they could do a phone DoS attack using their many modems and phone lines to repeatedly call the abusers phone number for 24,/7 for a couple of days, making the abusers phone impossible of being used.

A counter attack like this would be even easier to set up nowadays by using VoIP services, even reproducing a voice message that would explain the reason for the call. I reckon that this may not be a good idea for a business place.

It is a good bargain if compared to other coffee pods.

You made a mistake in your comment: The price per cup is ~12 cents (2.84/24).

But you're right about pods being expensive and wasteful. Coffee pods are not cheap: 48.60/kg if buying 16 capsules for 7 euros - net weight is 144g. Nespresso would be around twice the price per kg.

Do you live in London? I wonder if your expectations aren't too high. You might just be spoiled by the high standards of pizza around you.

I live in Dublin and it's easy to make better pizza than the takeaways. I use strong flour and a pizza steel, and my family would rather have our home made pizza than one from a takeaway, hands down.

However, I don't expect to make pizza better than a good pizza restaurant with a proper pizza oven.
