I don’t do that. I only thaw and grind enough for about a month’s consumption at a time. I got ~6 pounds of coffee for Christmas and only have a cup a day usually.
I was just providing my process because it seems, unintentionally, well designed to avoid condensation.
Good to know! Thanks! I vacuum seal what I can’t get in jars and let it all thaw freezer > fridge > ground.
I use old mason jars to store my whole bean coffee in the freezer until I’m ready to grind and use it.
A coffee aficionado can probably chime in on why this is bad, but uts the best use I’ve found for the jars.
Most people could cheap out on tools and they’d still last.
I think this is a great one. I learned growing up that if you need a tool for a project buy the cheap one. Then if you use it enough to break it, buy a more expensive one next.
Tool trial by combat, so to speak.
I’m maybe not who you’re looking to hear from but I can provide a patient perspective.
I never refused my medications but there was a point where I was rude, mean and difficult. For me it was a combination of things. I was tired of being sick, tired of the hospital and wanted to leave but wasn’t well enough, struggling with loss of control and scared.
I did snap out of it and made a point to apologize to the staff I had mistreated. Ultimately it was a negative expression of everything I was feeling because I didn’t know how to process and handle it appropriately.
I say ban headlights altogether. I have astigmatism so all headlights suck to some degree.

I regret staying in my first job too long thinking I’d advance internally.
Where we live is between $40-$50 every two months for trash and recycling for most services.
There are a large number of unscented aftershaves out there as well as other products options like an alum block.
When I’m finished shaving my routine is:
I have aftershaves and colognes that compliment each other or are the same scent for both. I also have an unscented balm for colognes I couldn’t find a good compliment to.
Scents I use are ones I like because I’m wearing it for me, not others.
You’re complaining to complain and/or arguing to argue.
No, I was engaging you comment to point out your singular perspective and privilege and now you’re upset about it.
I’m done now though. You’re either a corporate shill who’s literally doing what the original commenter stated or someone who just has this need to feel superior. Either way I’ve spent enough of my time on you.
You not believing it doesn’t make it untrue.
It does not, we’re both sharing anecdotal information.
Where do you shop? What do you buy?
I don’t buy a lot of clothes now, most of my clothing is several years old at least. I buy what feels comfortable, that I like the look/design of and that seems to be well made.
Find me a reputable store that doesn’t carry non-blend fabrics, and I’ll find you one around the same price point that does.
I never said d stores don’t carry non-blend fabric clothing, simply that disadvantaged portions of the population often don’t have the luxury of choice others do and that they are stuck in a system designed to keep it that way.
Nobody suggested you had to go to Old Navy, in fact I used it to demonstrate that even cheap places (Old Navy is all about cheap) have non synthetic options.
You did not, and I never said you did. I pointed out that the cheap example you used was fast fashion, which many cheap stores are. Which was an ironic choice on your part because fast fashion could be a poster child for the boots theory.
They’re a baseline that holds true as you advance to just about every price point.
Yeah, I saw your other examples of places like Patagonia which, again, is ironic because that could be the other side of the boots theory representing what “rich” people would buy.
It’s like you didn’t even read what I posted originally. I think you should check your privilege.
I don’t believe it. In part because it was not my experience when I was financially destitute and also because it’s not what I see now.
There may be some options at places like Old Navy that are inexpensive but fast fashion is just trading one devil for another.
Personally I think everyone should thrift as much as they can and avoid buying new when/where possible.
All great advice but I want to single this out:
You can also avoid synthetics when possible, and more people should.
The same issue applies to this as it does to most things, groceries springs to mind.
Just like with food where the fresh, healthier food options are often more expensive, the same goes for better made and single material made clothing.
The boots theory is a great example of what I mean.
The reason that the rich were so rich, Vimes reasoned, was because they managed to spend less money. Take boots, for example. … A man who could afford fifty dollars had a pair of boots that’d still be keeping his feet dry in ten years’ time, while a poor man who could only afford cheap boots would have spent a hundred dollars on boots in the same time and would still have wet feet.
I live in MN and every fall when we’re done in our yard I’ll turn off the water in the house for the lines that go to the outdoor faucets attached to the house.
Then I’ll open those faucets outside to let the water drain.
Inside the house on the water line itself is a bleeder valve I’ll open to help the line drain.
Once drained I close the drain valve and the bleeder valve and put an insulating cover on the spigot.
Embrace the power of the pyramid.
Layer 8 is the hardest to secure.
That would be nice weather for Christmas here in Minnesota if you moved the letter down the alphabet a bit.
I thought the War on Drugs was a distinctly American thing, ya know, starting a war that’s doomed to fail.
Deodorant is blue, deodorant + antiperspirant is white in the store. It’s also all aluminum free now which sucks. I miss the aluminum deodorant gel.
