@Rasp I love it and I'm jealous, bread rises before I started using a bread machine were suuuuch a pain to actually keep warm!

@netdoll @eris @AvengingFemme yeah the 40k lore is pretty consistent that of the atrocities Slaaneshi-tainted space marines commit against civilians, mass rape is one of them. Sexual violence is core to Slaanesh's lore.

Raspberry Pi is really proud of hiring "a policeman & it's going really great" who "was a surveillance officer for 15 years" and built covert surveillance equipment. RPi dismisses the very thing they're so proud of as "he built lightsabers [as toys]. Chill."). Dear reader, it must be remarked that the concern is not his rad lightsaber toys (which, to be clear, are rad). The concern is that he's got experience in surveillance equipment, and the company is proud to have hired him for it, and proudly blocking everyone who expresses the slightest concern about it instead of being even remotely willing to listen and understand why people are skeeved out, even people who aren't on the ACAB train and are gently voicing concerns with a surveillance cop potentially having the keys to their hardware/software.This is not the behavior of a company that's concerned about privacy, security, trust, or autonomy, and I don't think this company can or should be trusted to remain federated with instances that want to be welcoming to marginalized people or anti-authoritarians.Really hate to say it, because I've used and loved RPis for several years now, but if nothing else, please use a different SBC from now on. There are many options out there that aren't so eager to insult you for having concerns about security.https://raspberrypi.social/@Raspberry_Pi/109477121398103132archive in case they deletehttps://archive.ph/8YQqH#raspberrypi #rpi #surveillance #infosec #sysadmin #fediblock #acab #devops #police #sbc #singleboardcomputer

Can we stop with the "plainclothes" and "undercover" and "unmarked" and whatever other euphemisms they wanna hide behind and just call them secret police?

the fact that Microsoft Edge is built on Chromium but uses a different format for autofill data so you can't just import/export to switch browsers is proof yet again that Microsoft hates users and hasn't changed a thing about their business model since that 1993 Netscape lawsuit.

So I saw a post over on another platform that said coffee's acidity demineralizes tooth enamel and, in so many words, causes cavities.That made me wonder; coffee generally runs around 5 pH; how, and more importantly how much, does this change with different brew methods? Does a longer bloom on a pour-over, allowing more CO2 to escape, substantially alter the pH than a shorter bloom? How much does the roast actually affect pH? Is immersion or percolation more acidic, less, the same? How about espresso, when the water and coffee are only in contact for a few seconds? What about cold-brew coffee? And I've heard iced coffee, even when brewed hot, is less acidic than hot coffee--is that bullshit? Probably, but I have to know now!Suddenly I have a burning need to know all of this information and more, and given the amount of coffee I'm going to have to make (and therefore drink!) this is going to take several days of testing or my heart will probably explode (like, come on, I'm not gonna let beautiful coffee go to waste!).

Sample of coffee to test pH this morning. Gonna hit up my wife's work and learn to use their pH probe lolCold brew, on the lighter side of a medium roast. 80g coffee to 1,000g water, 12 hour infusion. Medium-ish grind, because I think it's silly to tank your surface area with a very coarse grind for longer infusion brews when you're then going to double your ratio just to get right back to the same surface area, and I don't like the results anyway. Filter it through a V60 paper or metal/cloth filter or something if you want to get rid of the silt.Anyway filtered through V60 paper because I don't want to bias the results when this is the only brew method I usually don't put through a paper filter (I usually use a metal filter for cold brews). At least without comparative tasting I don't detect a noticeable difference in taste from normal, though my wife said she does and prefers it with the paper filter. Science for the weekend!

Okay so apparently this cold brew paper filter coffee brewed this way has a pH of 5.18. First data point, so nothing really to compare it to, but we're gonna see!Slightly annoyed realizing to test espresso I'm gonna have to pull a whole ass shot to get a testable sample which then won't get drunk because the probe gets used for some incredibly violent chemicals. But for science, it shall be done.

Okay yesterday's coffee was kind of a disaster but here we go! Same roast as before, medium-fine grind in a V60. Iced coffee but it's brewed hot, so brewed with a bit less water into ice to dilute it; ice and water together 750 grams, to 48 grams of coffee.My hypothesis is that this is going to have a higher pH than the later normal heat brews because the hot water has had less overall time to extract. Buuuuut I think I ground a little too fine this morning because it took an unusually long time to draw down, so I'm gonna have to retry tomorrow. BUT I'm here and we shall see what this looks like in a minute!

5.11, that's interesting. Lower (more acidic) than the cold brew, which isn't surprising given the application of near-boiling water will make for a much more vigorous extraction than the very long cold brew, but actually not by much! Not by much at all considering I ground a little too fine (still tastes good, just a tad over-extracted); it's not within the probe's margin of error ofc, but 0.07 is certainly within a potential rounding error and I'm honestly a bit surprised the pH isn't lower.Definitely will have to repeat this one with a slightly coarser grind and see how that turns out.Edit: one pic failed to upload and I apparently forgot the alt text anyway

So I made coffee this morning and I decided to leave it on the same grind size but just make a standard pour-over because that's an extra data point for comparative testing, but then when I left the house this morning by the time I realized I forgot the retained sample it was entirely too late to turn back for it.Realistically I won't have much time to hit up my wife's work anyway because I have several calls because people love calling/emailing on Thursday afternoon being like "well I've had this issue all week..." so Fridays are often a little more hectic anyway.BUT the sample is sitting on the kitchen table and will be there Monday, and now I have a record of what this coffee is so I won't forget between now and then in case I forget to label it later today!

So it took me a few days longer than expected to get around to testing this, well, test sample, but WOW that's a larger difference than I thought.In retrospect though maybe it shouldn't be; the water for this brew was all hot, and there was more of it; the previous brew was a smaller mass off water going through the same size mass of coffee, dripping into the vessel of ice which then melts, diluting the strongly concentrated brew a bit; of course we should expect overall extraction should be expected to be lower then, which I suppose should imply the pH being closer to the neutral range (or, least deviating less from the base of the particular water I use, which... I guess I should test a sample of that, too?)Regardless, I didn't expect a large jump down in pH, just from running nothing but hot water and running it all through the grounds, which sounds really silly when I put it like that lol

@denny The funniest thing is that NONE of these things are believed by real economists, but by rich assholes and their sycophants who pretend to be economists, while economists are like "actually this is all wrong and here's why"(I know there are "professional" economists who believe this but they're fake because they're not doing actual science, they can't build models that make predictions, they can't even do the math necessary to understand why they're wrong; they're also a minority in the field that just get a bunch of money because the cult of line go up benefits [however temporarily] from their hypervisibility)
