This year I started making coffee at home a lot more than I have in the past, mainly due to investing in a new set up. Tried quite a lot of different roasters/beans which has been great. Have a few go to roasters now and a better idea of the beans/roasts I tend to prefer. Here's to 2024!
From what I can tell, relative humidity in the room does reduce the amount of static a little, but still not as much as you would get from performing the RDT they suggest in the study.

Will be interesting to see whether the data behind this study mentions that.
I'm making my way through this in the hopes I don't need to read through the study: https://youtu.be/GuqVUsMPs-U?si=rq0n9pL0bO6Pna-l
Haha. Took me a while to pick up on that. I haven't tried RDT before so wonder how much of a difference it really makes or if it's really minor.
Researchers say dash of water added to beans before they are ground creates more consistent, tastier coffee
Totally. Every week there's a study to say caffeine is bad for you, then the next week there's a study saying it's good for you.
Coffee and tea lovers are significantly less likely to be frail in their 70s, according to a study that followed 12,000 people over 20 years
TL;DR
Overall, based on relatively limited published clinical data, our review does not support using blue-light filtering lenses to reduce eye strain with digital device use. It is unclear whether these lenses affect vision quality or sleep, and no conclusions can be drawn about any potential effects on the health of the retina.
Focused more on speciality coffee, but still an interesting watch.
A few offers going round for father's day. Here's a couple I've come across so far and are both for 1kg bags.
- Proud Mary - DADCOFFEE
- Rumble Coffee - KILOGRAMBEANS
Huge win! What a tense game!
The Matildas beat Denmark 2-0 to reach FIFA Women's World Cup quarterfinals. Earlier, England edges past Nigeria 4-2 on penalties in Brisbane.
That's not what's being discussed in the article, nor what's being connected in new home builds, nor what's being done at a large scale in NSW. So no, the gas supply being discussed isn't renewable.
It isn't just about emissions though is it? It's a non-renewable as well.
Was wondering what people's coffee setups are.
I'll start. I mainly drink espresso and piccolo's. But also have several Moka pots that only get used once every few months since getting the BDB.
- Breville Dual Boiler
- Kingrinder K4
Yes. I don't personally, but know Kmart at least is cheap for clothing basics, especially for kids. It also has cheap homeware and small appliances. Not everyone can afford to buy expensive brands.
Edit: should also point out, they pretty much have clearance stuff on sale weekly, so people probably go to see what they can get for cheap.
So the article shows public schools aren't getting the funding they should be getting (below 100%), while private schools are more than covered (over 100%).
I'm sorry, but the rest of your commentary is really a straw man. You're just trying to shift focus away from public schools not getting their share of funding, while private schools are getting more. And instead saying that funding shouldn't be the deciding factor on which school to send your kid to. No one said that. The fact is, public schools aren't getting the funding that was committed, while private schools are getting more than what was committed. Giving public schools the amount they should be getting doesn't stop you from sending your kid to private school. And it's disappointing to see people trying to excuse it or shift the focus elsewhere.
Why does any of that mean private schools should get more government funding than public schools?
Based on your argument, private schools should get no funding, because it doesn't improve education.
Doesn't this article show that the funding received by private schools is actually more in most cases?
Even if funding was exactly the same, private schools are most definitely providing more per student than public schools. Unless you believe those fees being paid are entirely pocketed by the teachers. Where exactly do you believe those fees are going? Those fees, along with the funding, are going into facilities, equipment and personell that public schools simply can't afford.
Sure, the quality of education isn't entirely based on funding. But to sit here and claim funding doesn't help is a little privileged. Kind of like how people who say money doesn't buy happiness, usually have money. It's easy to say money doesn't improve education, when you have the money.
I still don't see why private schools should be receiving more government funding than public schools though.
What's the link you're trying to draw between public/private school funding and catchment areas?
I'm confused. What does this have to do with funding? Are you saying private schools should have the same amount of funding so it's cheaper for you to send your kid to private school?
Not necessarily, I'm grateful for more clarity. Voting yes without any clarity is no better than voting no without any clarity.
Maybe I am going blind, but couldn't find a link to the full list anywhere in that article, so here it is if you didn't want to go digging: https://www.abc.net.au/triplej/hottest100/1-100
I've been gradually making my way through a variety of coffee beans over the last few months and was wondering what recommendations people here have for beans or roasters in Australia.
Thought it might also be helpful to anyone who was wanting to try something new but didn't know where to start.
Let's make this the place to discuss anything coffee related, with an Australian perspective.
Could we get a community set up for all things coffee? There are a couple around Lemmy already, but thought there should be an aussie based community to discuss local roasters, share set ups and not wonder why everyone is posting summer drink ideas during our winter.
Happy to help moderate if needed.
