The Wednesday Wellness threads are meant to encourage users to ask for and provide advice and motivation to improve their lives. It isn't intended as a 'containment thread' and any content which could go here could instead be posted in its own thread. You could post:
-
Requests for advice and / or encouragement. On basically any topic and for any scale of problem.
-
Updates to let us know how you are doing. This provides valuable feedback on past advice / encouragement and will hopefully make people feel a little more motivated to follow through. If you want to be reminded to post your update, see the post titled 'update reminders', below.
-
Advice. This can be in response to a request for advice or just something that you think could be generally useful for many people here.
-
Encouragement. Probably best directed at specific users, but if you feel like just encouraging people in general I don't think anyone is going to object. I don't think I really need to say this, but just to be clear; encouragement should have a generally positive tone and not shame people (if people feel that shame might be an effective tool for motivating people, please discuss this so we can form a group consensus on how to use it rather than just trying it).
Jump in the discussion.

Coffee thread
How goes the roasting, grinding, drinking? Tagging @Muninn and I forget who else was into the specialty stuff, sorry.
I'm still liking Monsooned Malabar very much. I found decent quality beans of this type from a much cheaper source. I've cut my bean expenses by over 50%. I love how this bean smells of several spices at the same time.
I'll probably still try out some expensive specialty beans from time to time, but I've kinda settled into a more regular, reasonable habit by now.
I'm not super into coffee but I got a decent grinder and managed to convince my father of the merits of grinding your own coffee, and he is now obsessed and bought a ~$700 grinder and is buying beans from a local specialty café.
No need to guess where the 'tism comes from.
The good grinders do cost serious money. 700 is a tad high even so. I settled for a blade grinder instead of a burr grinder. Gets the job done. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
There is plenty of opportunity for sperging in hobbies like these.
