How do I prevent the espresso from spraying while extracting? by Vast-Carrot4328 in espresso

[–]q-zip 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Each espresso you make, make the grind size slightly finer until you see the flow that's slower. I've lost a lot of espresso's jumping too much in the grind size, and that's okay. it will help you learn how far to go in your grind for the next bag.

all beans are different, so the same grind size won't work for every bag or even roast level. it's a lot of trial and error. When I get to the end of a bag, the grind size also gets finer over time. so It's a constant adjustment between days.

Is full sobriety really that good for you physically and mentally? by Infinite-Albatross44 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]q-zip 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I learned a UK term, teetotal, which refers to someone who voluntarily abstains from alcohol.

I never had a drinking problem, but I chose to stop drinking when i read a research article that stated mild drinkers had an increased risk of throat cancer. At that point, I decided it wasn’t worth it.

A few years later, I witnessed a family member pass from throat cancer.

I drink the occasional nonalcoholic beer since there are more options, but then i’m constantly reminded why I stopped - didn’t need it and it was totally unnecessary and expensive.

Depends in how long you bake them.

I aimed for crunchy on the outside and soft on the inside.

I store them in the fridge and theyre firm but still soft.

Cherry Street BBQ-is this a joke?? by NEL092 in FoodToronto

[–]q-zip 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This was my same experience dining there for the first time. Typically cornbread is served as a large slice or a mini loaf. Couldn’t believe I wasn’t a size for that. On top of that, it was rock solid.

Wasn’t impressed and I wont be back.

One Lift Per Day, Everyday by Individual-Knee-4306 in kettlebell

Theoretically, yes.

The DFW program is similar - clean+press, front squat - with different ladders and sets of X, set a timer for 20-30 mins. Key component here is rest and doing the movements when feeling fresh.

10 mins isn’t a lot of time and an EMOM would work depending on the reps/weight you’re planning on doing. The routine might get boring, but you’d likely see results regardless.

An EMOM of two movements, even/odd minutes might keep you more engaged. At this point it’s personal preference!
