The reason politics is banned from so many communities is nobody can have a civil discussion without reeeee, and it makes me sad inside that people are this petty
But it is what it is.

certainly possible, but i believe it would be difficult for 12V to be enough potential to overcome your skin's resistance unless your skin was wet

In an automation file actually

There are eight individual times that appear in multiple spots in the automation, so if I want to tweak one time I can just change one instead of the repeats
It's my thermostat schedule

Basically an apartment, but the units are owned by individuals instead of one person owning the entire complex

Oh that happens here but idk if we call them anything special
@hushed basalt do you know?

They're also often built to better standards than apartments

Apartments built for owner occupiers not landlord rentiers
I would say most apartments in Australia fall under that category
Maybe it's different in Sydney and Melbourne but every person I know who's ever lived in an apartment either owned it or rented it from someone who owns it not a corporation

espresso is not the be all end all though
hushed basalt
Better than filtered american diner crap though
scenic radish
Listen.
hushed basalt
I've heard good things
It's all about the grind though
And the bean quality and age
ocean mirage
Yeah I got a decent grinder and Canberra has some multi award winning roaster not too far from me
hushed basalt
That's good
ocean mirage
I did grab some beans from Amazon for cheap too, always good to have a comparison
hushed basalt
I buy stuff from amazon since it's $18/kg and I just have a fully automatic machine
ocean mirage
ah yeah what brand was that
hushed basalt
But after we get our mortgage I'll get a real setup
We got given it. It's a delonghi
ocean mirage
I mean the beans
hushed basalt
Yeah I put it on subscription
Once a month
For store bought beans it's probably the best value/quality ratio
It's like $15/250g for local roasted coffee though right?
I think it's fresher when I get it from Amazon too
When I buy it from Woolworths it's probably been warehoused a lot longer
ocean mirage
Yeah probably
the local place I mentioned is 10-15ish for 250g yeah
31-45 for a kilo
hushed basalt
Yeah per kilo is cheaper
But for home use it gets old then you lose the benefit of getting local roasted anyways
Towards the end
We use probably 750g a month
ocean mirage
yeah thats what I was thinking
hushed basalt
I find I drink a lot more coffee when I'm in an office than home
ocean mirage
I only drink at home
hushed basalt
I probably have one shot flat white at home a day
At an office I could do 4 times that
Probably boredom more than anything
ocean mirage
yeah I used to do that a bit
spend 15 bucks a day on coffee at a barista
I just also dont want to have to go buy coffee every 250g lol
if we both have a cup a day that'd be a week if I use the 'standard' aeropress 17g
Tediore its Australian dollars, worthless

Luwak coffee didnt seem that special

@forest edge the reason you don't like coffee is because your coffee is dishwater
Or so I've heard
Definitely struggle to get a good cup in Europe
ocean mirage
I've had starbucks and not been impressed, I assume thats how americans do it?
hushed basalt
I think that's their "quality" coffee
I've heard we're even better than Italy
Although they have an insane coffee culture
They have whole wings in mcdonalds devoted to coffee
forest edge
the reason i don't like coffee is cause you never know what "additional" stuff is in it, it's addictive and stains your teeth
hushed basalt
And hot chocolate is literal melted chocolate
scenic radish
Starbucks is gross
ocean mirage
maybe its whats causing all these new diseases
hushed basalt
It's certainly addictive and staining I'll pay that
But coffee is just roasted ground beans and water
scenic radish
Dunkin donuts coffee is pretty good
hushed basalt
It's literally a single ingredient plus water
ocean mirage
I read a post from a guy in brisbane who was successfully growing beans the other day
that was interesting
gets too cold here though im sure
hushed basalt
Plus our soil isn't very fertile
It was eye openin going to the northern hemisphere for the first time
It's certainly a completely different soil
There is a reason 90% of the population is in the northern hemisphere
ocean mirage
my soil is all clay, but we just dig a big hole for any plant and use good soil
forest edge
lol like @tidal bronze . has to dig a hole in the sand to put actual growing dirt to have plants in his yard
ocean mirage
We mostly have native plants now anyway which is nice
hushed basalt
Full of carcinogenic fun stuff from decades of farming
When I was in Paris just the plants growing on scraps of soil along the railway seemed 100 times more fertile than here
It takes a lot of input to grow stuff here
Water and nutrients
tidal bronze
@forest edge lol. Sorry to disappoint you but everything and anything grows here. 😀 pretty sure 70% what you eat is from here.
hushed basalt
Where are you
ocean mirage
up in Cairns it seemed a bit like that though
and in Indonesia it was entirely like that
hushed basalt
Is that growing in native soil with no water or nutrient inputs
forest edge
@tidal bronze well we both know the remaining 30% is the best stuff and that comes from right here 😉
tidal bronze
Lmao
hushed basalt
I'm comparing native soils not cultivated farmland
tidal bronze
Sunny California @hushed basalt
tidal bronze
Yep
hushed basalt
I guess I was really talking about native growth not farming systems

Native growth too. Shit just grows in this soil.

Rainfall though?

Last 2 years its been great. But no rain is enough for the production here. 😀
