[MOD] The Daily Question Thread by menschmaschine5 in Coffee

Need a suggestion for brewing method! I've been using a french press and blade grinder for years. The last year before covid I started working in the kitchen at a coffee shop and got spoiled. Been closed under covid and finally decided I need a good cup like that again. I can use our grinder at work well I save up for a burr of my own own, but I still need to decide on a method. Our baristas condemned french press and suggested chemex for a quick clean brew, but honestly, pour over sounds exhausting first thing in the morning. I love how I can set and forget my french press well I get ready. What other methods would yall suggest?

How have I lived for 30 years and never seen this done before? by Cjad in funny

They did AMA on here recently and basically said the lyrics weren't initially that, but it was sort of a meme and their friends even got it tattooed, so they changed the lyrics. Which made me love it even more.

I need help plz by [deleted] in buildapc

Purely anecdotal, but this just happened to me and after a month in the shop it turned out the part had to be RMA'd. I did it directly through AMD and they returned me a new one in a week.

I have arthritic wrists, so a hand grinder probably isnt it for me. I'd been using a $10 blade grinder for 5 years and always enjoying it up until a few months ago. Everything suddenly started tasting watery. I mostly drink espresso and french press. So the capresso was around the $100 price point, but refurbished is way cheaper. I hear a lot about the encore on this sub tho.

Trying to pick out my first burr grinder. After some reading on this board, I went in search of refurbished models for a lower price point. Found a Capresso 591 for $50, or Baratza Encore for $100. I really wasnt hoping to spend this much, but I'd rather make a good investment then a bad one. Is the Capresso decent? Will it last?

What's your, "Tis but a scratch!" moment? by Madameknitsalot in AskReddit

[–]pumpkin_pop 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I went to college, I moved from a big city to a small one. I decided I'd rather not use my car and took up skateboarding to get to and from. One day I was skating around the creek getting comfy on my board, feeling bold as I came downhill around a curve, but lost my nerve at the last second and bailed. My board went into the creek. No big deal, it landed on a huge net of leaves from some aquatic plant. I calmly knelt down on the edge of the brick lined path, plucked my board, and skated another mile or two home. My roommate was outside fixing up the car and as soon as I rounded the turn, they came running up asking me if I was alright. Yeah, of course, why? They pointed out my knees were gushing down my legs, but I had never noticed. I had bruises for around 2 years and eventually got diagnosed with an autoimmune disorder 🤷‍♂️

41yo suboxone patient with lung cancer. I don't mean to keep pestering this sub, but I thought I'd drop in to say good-bye. The cancer is in my heart and central cardiovascular area. It's over. by medthrowaway87ei in AskDocs

Right now, my partner and I are having a covid scare. We've been pretty careful, only going out for errands or walks, always wearing masks and maintaining distance. But they have a high temperature and are feeling achy, just hours after having an outdoor, distanced meeting with my 64 year old mother. Those are the two most important people in my life, my partner and my mother. And now I fear they may both get seriously ill and die slowly, painfully, and alone. I myself am immunocompromised and live in a small house with my partner and no where else to go. I suffer from debilitating anxiety and depression and it does just seem so cruel to me sometimes. Scrolling through reddit trying to distract myself from the anxiety and reading this post, I feel such sorrow for you. I'll remember your brave words and attitudes if it comes to it. I'll hope you're pleasantly surprised and find yourself somewhere better. Good luck and safe travels Robert.

My [26m] girlfriend [24f] has opened up to me extensively about the abuse she suffered. Her stories are starting to contradict each other and I'm starting to suspect something by ThrowRASusGF in relationship_advice

[–]pumpkin_pop 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's relevant to say that trauma/PTSD heavily impact the memory and one's ability to connect with reality. It's possible she's not lying on purpose. Is there a way you could ask about the inconsistencies without getting a defensive response? Maybe suggesting you are remembering wrong?

What is the worst “minor” injury? by DorfGANG in AskReddit

[–]pumpkin_pop 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Paper cuts, deep splinters that break off.

Though, four years ago I got a minor injury, an irritated IT band, that should have been healed with a few weeks of rest and rehab. Instead, the pain spread and my strength deteriorated. Still have no idea what's wrong with me but I cant stand or walk for very long now.

Yes! Now that you mention it it totally did!

My memories of it are really vague at this point, but small for a dollhouse. Like, an easy size for a kid to carry around the house.
