What is your opinion on the wheel of time? I’m reading it currently, crown of swords I think. I really enjoy it, but at times I feel like there are some random plot twists haha
I don’t do inverted. I just add coffee and fill up the aeropress with boiling water. Then I put in the plunger to keep the water from dripping. After a minute or so I’ll do one swirl to get the grounds to sink to the bottom. The I way for like five to ten minutes and press slowly.
I use one filter and usually go for a light roast. I also tried stirring with a spoon but I seem to prefer the swirl
Well yeah, I just wait until I ate something and often not that long at all. But interestingly longer steep times don’t seem to lead to overextraction. Here’s a blog post about that: https://coffeeadastra.com/2021/09/07/reaching-fuller-flavor-profiles-with-the-aeropress/ check out the TL;DR at the end!
I have read the whole book and have meditated accordingly for a year or so. I agree that it’s not that science based. But I still found it super cool that it is a very analytical or ‘scientific’ approach in that it is very algorithmic and clear what you do when. There are some parts that are a bit unclear, but all in all I really enjoyed the “if you are there, do that” kind of approach.
Do you have any other book recommendations that are more science based?
Well put. i guess you’re right. I know that Shinzen Young is trying to do some of that kind of research. But in general the only thing I’ve heard of are studies in the direction of mindfulness. And afaik there’s a bunch of studies showing positive benefits to that. And in a way most meditation techniques, while not focusing on mindfulness, do require it to work. At least in one way or another. But you’re right. For me at least I know it is a good thing and that’s enough for me.

The way Reddit did this was by just giving out a token, that could be done in the same way here on lemmy, I think that would solve the issue.
Now it’s true that you will be redirected to the site (here lemmy) but that’s the same on all services, as a user one needs to check the host name and certificate of the site they’re directed to.
Although that is changing slowly. PWAs are starting to get more and more support for APIs on the devices. For example if you install te Microsoft teams app, afaik it’s also just a web app, but bundled with all the rest so that it seems like a normal app.
PWA’s can even have hardware GPU support nowadays.
For me it’s Avatar the last airbender I just love how wholesome it is xD
