Sleep Stuff

Personally I think there's really no proper way to value a good night's sleep. After years of dealing with poor sleep due to breathing problems in a dry climate and living with obnoxious neighbors whose religion prohibits using headphones figuring out some cheap solutions to my sleep issues has yielded immeasurable quality of life improvements.

Nasal dialaters.

I was having a lot of problems sleeping due to narrow nasal pathways + seasonal changes and my BP was off the charts. The quality of life improvement from quality sleep is hard to quantify as a value.

[Really comfy sleep masks.] (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00FJQFJX8/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&th=1)
The inner lining on these ones reliably peels off for me but I still use mine and I think I could put these on 1 mile from the sun and not see light.

Super comfortable noise canceling ear buds
I have a ridiculously loud 300lb stomping upstairs neighbor who enjoys putting together furniture at 3am due to either meth or sleep apnea or both. He also really enjoys his shitty 1990s R&B. I've had several confrontations and he's changed some of it but you can't request someone not walk around their apartment when they want. I think he has knee problems so his steps are really heavy. These things are the best answer I could find. If I put these on + a TV show it drowns him out. It sucks to rely on noise to cancel out other noise but I love these things, they're super comfortable and they do the job I need.

Coffee Stuff

GeneCafe Coffee Roaster

So I'm the sort of person who is willing to spend the right amount of money when there's value. For me roasting my own coffee provides tons of value. For starters you can order green beans online for $3-5 a lb. I order 6+ months worth of coffee at a time for around $100, give or take. This roaster has now paid for itself compared to buying coffee at my favorite roaster and is in line with the stale, burnt tasting shit you can buy in giant vats at the grocery store.

But beyond just that I get the supreme joy of truly fresh roasted coffee roasted to a level I like which is a lot different than the black and greasy shit you'll get at Kroger's or whatever. I also love that I can bring this is going to be useful if/when I'm living on a homestead somewhere.

Stainless Steel French Press

Goes with the above. I used to buy glass ones and break them, but this $40 french press will probably last for a very long time with only the screen to worry about replacing and god only knows how long that will take.

[Rough Bur Grinder] (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001804CLY/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&psc=1)
I really enjoy replacing electronic equipment with stuff I can power with elbow grease. It's not much of a workout, but it's quieter and still does the same job as the electric one I had purchased and unless other electric ones I'm not sure this one will ever break. My previous ones would break/clog constantly, this one has been trucking without issue for a year and I suspect will last several.

I used this spice grinder to grind the dried peppers. Then I sifted it through a fine, metal, mesh strainer and reground the larger pieces. I didn’t use any anti-clumping agent. I don’t know if it will need one, but I wouldn’t know what to use.

I am a 3 time a day user for medical reasons. I use this https://www.amazon.com/KitchenAid-BCG111OB-Blade-Coffee-Grinder/dp/B003WIZ5PC/ref=mp_s_a_1_3?keywords=kitchenaid+coffee+grinder&qid=1562701281&s=gateway&sprefix=Kitchen+aid+coffee+&sr=8-3

> So...snuscentral claims a tin of General Mint White contains 24g of tobacco. A pound is 454 g. So...if I bought a pound of tobacco from your linked website, it should make roughly 19 cans of snus, no?

Well, not exactly. If the can contains 24 g of snus, I would assume that is a can of portion snus. With loose snus, the cans used to contain 40g of snus. Now, some cans of loose only contain 37 g of snus. I define a 'can of snus' as equal to 40 grams of snus, using the old measure of the contents of a can of loose snus.

A pound of tobacco, assuming one INCLUDES stems, would equal 448 grams of tobacco (16 ounces x 28 grams per ounce). Since snus is 50% water (roughly, I'll come back to this momentarily), then a pound of tobacco would make 896 grams of snus. So a pound of tobacco would make 22.4 cans, each containing 40 grams of snus. Roughly, a pound of tobacco is enough to make two rolls of snus.

However, this isn't as exact as it sounds. In my experience since the first of the year, I am getting roughly 3 cans of snus out of 50 grams of tobacco. The recipes call for 50 grams of tobacco & 60 ml (grams) of water. This alone is 110 grams. You must dilute the soda ash in water. I dilute it in 10ml (grams.) So now we are at 120 grams of finished product, which is exactly 3 40 gram cans of snus. Don't forget though, we have to add the glycerine to that, which is almost another 10 grams. I'm not sure what happened with my maryland puro. I somehow managed to get almost 4 cans out of 50 grams of tobacco. Due to the high stem content of maryland tobacco, I had to add more water than usual, which is probably why I got 4 cans from 50 grams.

>Oh, do you know if a coffee grinder will grind fine enough?

I use two different grinders, one of which was thrifted. For the stems, use a grinder similar to this. (Don't buy new. I see these at thrift stores ALL of the time.) I break the stems (only the middle stem, aka mid-rib) into 1 inch pieces after stripping the leaves. Then I run them through a grinder of this type. The point here is to prepare the stems for the next grinder.

I grind the leaves in this. If you notice the center silver dial with dots on it, that dial can be turned to 'fine,' which is the setting I use. I also grind the stems in this one, after running through the first grinder. I then use a large kitchen strainer to sift the tobacco flour. What doesn't pass through the strainer goes back into this grinder. Repeat until everything passes through the strainer.

If you decide to get another one or for anyone else here I picked this one up. The cups are dish washer safe. Never had issues with cross ground flavors.
