Using a spice grinder for coffee beans?

Does anyone here use a spice grinder that we have in every home, for grinding coffee beans?

I'd love to hear your process, how long/fine you grind them, and what is your preferred method for brewing. Tell me all your secrets and tips for getting a good result!

Could this be why we're so judgemental as a society

​

Shame. Fear.

I think it's safe to say that a lot of us were raised with deeply internalized shame and fear. These form(ed) the basis of our morality (and perhaps collective character). Whether that ultimately occurs through culture or religion, the channels remain guilt, fear, shame, and eventually judgement. Even more so for older generations.. I really hope that this is changing now, albeit too slowly.

If you think of traits and behaviors that are widely valued in our society: outward religiosity, performative behavior, good grades, conventional job, bringing in an income, managing a spotless household, getting married at the right time, displays of wealth, having children particularly male ones, and then continuing said cycle for those children... all of these are driven by the same shame/judgement axis. 'Log kya kahein ge', 'naak katwa di' etc. for anyone who dares to do anything differently.

While traits such as compassion, humility, understanding and empathy, curiosity, honesty, egalitarianism are almost discouraged and often seen as weaknesses.

​

With those who are super judgemental, there is definitely lots of insecurity hidden deep down, which is being assuaged through criticism of others. To regain a sense of control and superiority? Instead of looking inward, it's simply more comfortable to direct that judgement outward.

Why is wall dampness (seelan) so common here?

​

Hi, has anyone actually managed to solve the wall dampness/seepage issue long-term? It feels like almost every other home has this problem.

We have two walls that are internal and shared with a bathroom and they get especially bad during humid weather and in winter.

All available fixes in my experience have been superficial? Like treating with chemicals, repainting, waterproof coatings etc. They make things look better for two minutes but the dampness obv comes back because the actual problem is deeper.

Why is this such a common problem too, is it at a construction/structural level?

I'm honestly exhausted at this point. Please tell me there's a real solution that doesn't involve slapping wallpaper on top of it and pretending it doesn't exist, or tearing down the whole damn room and building again.

Thoughts? It's local, and the ingredient list looks promising, so I'm considering giving it a try.

Had heard great things about Physiogel and was hoping that would end my search for a good moisturizer but it contains coconut oil 💔 so the 'non-comedogenic' claim didn't hold up
