Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.
Rules:
-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --
-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --
-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --
-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --
-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--
-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--
-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --
-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

Poor person hack: lots of instant coffee like cafe bustelo comes in decent glass jars. So if you're gonna get coffee get a reusable glass jar too. The lid is unfortunately plastic, but I've been trying to find a non-plastic solution on the cheap. Also instant coffee isn't as bad as its made out to be.
So long as you aren't scraping the lid against asphalt, the plastic lid is probably fine. Unfortunately, most homes don't come with stamping tools and dies appropriate for making jar lids. Probably the cheapest form lid I could imagine is oiling up the jar thread, placing a cheap dish cloth over the thread tight, and then soaking it in wood glue, then cutting off the excess cloth. Would not survive a trip in the dishwasher, and you'd probably want to have some sort of resin finish.
Actually, I guess you could stamp a few layers of aluminium foil maybe
Nice, good to know for sure
I do this with classico pasta sauce
Yeah there's a lot of good tomato sauces you can get for pretty cheap and that jar, that's
