22 days agoI’ve only ever heard Autumnal used for the equinox. Otherwise Autumn and Fall are also used as adjectives in American English. Fall colors. Fall planting. A cool autumn breeze.

Yeah its perfectly fine and tasty! Especially if you know what a soda bread is an are expecting that. The lemon poppy seed one looks amazing, I might try to make one from scratch since I have all the ingredients in the pantry anyway (except for ascorbic acid)
The best thing you can do for these types of recipes is to stop mixing immediately after the dry bits are incorporated, and bake the batter immediately after mixing since the baking powder and baking soda make bubbles immediately when you mix in your fizzy acidic beverage of choice. Same reason why you don’t wanna over mix pancake batter, better to leave it lumpy and slightly undermixed.
Edit: Compare the top of your baked bread to the top in their marketing materials: did you add too much liquid (the recipe says 10oz not the full 12oz beer) or overmix?

You don’t need the literal balancing act or risk spilling hot coffee sludge everywhere.
Edit: or the fellow prismo like OP mentioned, its the same function.
How climate change threatens coffee production | DW Documentary
There’s some great documentaries about stenophylla, resdiscovering a forgotten strain of coffee that’s resistant to heat.
Coffee and climate change: rediscovering stenophylla
In the video Dr Aaron Davis describes coffee as the “canary in the coalmine, as the litmus for climate change, particularly for woody crops like coffee, cocoa, tea, wine. Crops that have to stay in the ground a long time. And what we’re seeing is that the issues facing coffee also affect many other woody perennial crops”

We’ll probably see some issues with stonefruit too:
12·2 months agoKept a hand knit wool scarf (they made for me) for around a decade. Outgrew the style but it was a damn good scarf.
4·2 months agoIts possible some wires got crossed behind scenes, some database/software mixup.
Maybe email proton support if you’re concerned? I’ve had some similar mixup happen with banking and they got it all sorted after I complained (I was getting emails intended for someone else).
Edit: either way, I think you should let them know in case its phishing or something broken on their end.
That is their official email address. Did you make an Alias or something and you forgot?
This is my local coffee roaster, there’s 30 different raw beans to choose from. You choose your roast (and grind if you want) and in about 10-15 mins you have freshly roasted coffee made to order. They usually have 2 different decaf options to choose from and they definitely changed my opinion about decaf, best I’ve ever had.
7·3 months agoAs a new linux user I was overwhelmed by plasma and all the choices. I much prefer an OS and DE that feels like it isn’t there and gets out of my way. It was all a bit too distracting, so I went back to Gnome like DEs (Cinnamon and now Cosmic).
Something like your suggestion, with basic settings first and then a deeper layer or toggle for advanced settings would have kept me on the platform longer.
Some Alternatives:
- Firefox + Ublock Origin
- Grayjay App
- Grayjay Desktop
- FreeTube
- NewPipe

And to my knowledge lemmy doesnt do shadow bans so I would at keast know if I had been banned there.
Edit: previously I cleared cache, tried different browsers and devices, logged out and in again, nothing worked. I also just tested and I can’t create posts from lemmy.world account either.
Edit2: looks like it was related to VPN use and some flagging of my session/connection, maybe cloudflare on lemmy.world
From my lemmy.world account. I cant post comments from that account at all.

Second this. Get an aeropress, a burr grinder that can go down to espresso fine grind (or find a local roaster that will roast and grind your beans to your liking), a thermometer, and a scale.
Skip the machines that can break down and are expensive to replace or hard to clean.
Edit: If you decide to go with the aeropress, I’d recommend getting one of these flow control caps. A lot of recipes for the ‘inverted method’ of brewing deal with balancing the aeropress upside down and messing around with hot coffee sludge. Just get one of these instead of doing anything inverted and risking burning yourself or spilling hot coffee sludge everywhere.

I’ve tried every way to make coffee at home and aeropress is my favorite (over moka pot, french press, pour over, Mr Coffee, espresso, nespresso, keurig, turkish, etc)
