I am sure he does not.

Yup, utterly clueless about how 90% of the rest of the world actually lives.

It is somewhat science based. Some good info there to be had.

The bloom is essential for recently roasted beans. It allows the CO2 to off gas. You want the CO2 to properly off gas because the water cannot enter the grounds if the gas is try to escape. I believe Lance Ledrik (Youtube guy) uses a 2 minute bloom. I have bloomed beans twice if they were very very recently roasted (within a week).

A minimum 1 minute bloom. Start with a coarse grind first then work toward more fine if needed on the next cup. Try to not over agitate while pouring because it can drive the fines into the filter paper slowing the draw down to a crawl.

The change to a Fellow Ode 2 (which produces very few fines) from good grinders that produce a somewhat normal amount of fines, made for a big change in cup clarity and draw down time.

The 1zpresso ZP6 would be similar to the Ode 2 in producing very few fines as a hand grinder.

I know folks in Georgia, S. Carolina, and N. Carolina who've never been more than a couple hours drive from their birthplace in their entire lives.

it's only been 2 months

For much of the world getting a Canadian tourist visa is harder than a USA tourist visa.

I won't be bringing my non-USA citizen family to the USA for a holiday for at least the next 4 years. Even with a perfectly good visa, folks are getting detained. In the past I would spend more than $10k for roughly a month long visit on them (not including airfare to the USA). That money will now go to the EU or Japan.

None of that is needed if the server app for plex works as intended.

I'll take a look.

Annually or sometime a couple times a year, rake the pine straw, have it bailed, then sell it to folks doing landscaping or have someone pay you for the right to do that.

In Georgia, roughly 100 acres of pine trees sell for around $1.5mil to $2mil when they are ready for harvest which is 15 to 20 years.
