So, does it produce a better quality drink? Also, no. Dr Tim Bond from the Tea Advisory Panel says that microwaves heat water unevenly, which leads to uneven tea extraction, which leads to a stewed flavour.

The most likely reason:

Then why microwave water at all? Well, the answer may be twofold. For one thing, student halls are increasingly prohibiting the use of kettles due to steam setting off alarms, so some young people at university are forced to nuke their water in a microwave …

I’m just a mere whale biologist, but that looks like a Nodding Catchfly Triumph (Silene Pendula Triumph)

If I’m wrong I’m sure the internet will correct me 😂

A coworker was trying to get me to watch The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel when it first premiered, but at the time I was leery of shows with just a first season - it’s just disappointing to have a good show cancelled after just one season. I never got around to watching it, I’m going to queue that up for this weekend, thanks for the suggestion!

If you’re a Tony Shalhoub fan I’d recommend Big Night

Yeah, I wouldn’t call it a 'revival." As the article itself states there have been 3 follow on movies, which I enjoyed, and I hope everyone else did too. I fully expected there to be more movies as long as all/most of the original actors are on-board…well at least Shawn, Gus, and Lassie, and maybe Juliette, and McNab.

Pysch was always a nice 40+ minute pressure release from an otherwise stressful time

I almost played Russian Roulette once, thankfully I was late to the game. The guys wanting to play didn’t have a revolver, so they used a semi-automatic pistol. I really dodged a bullet with that one

Thanks, I just sprayed coffee all over my desk 😂 😂 😂

Ah, thanks for that, thought I was missing the obvious, or maybe there was some previous story I didn’t know about

Oh sure, when some guy in a lab coat does it they get the Nobel prize. I try to combine a bear and a pig, and all of a sudden someone wants to make a Federal case out of it

I must’ve missed that part. I thought it was only for captive hunting, which wouldn’t make it any different than the other exotic animals kept on captive hunting farms

Had a similar issue with tlp recently. I just happened to notice the laptop battery was at 100%, and said it was charging. I double and triple checked the config file, but the tlp-stat -b still showed the thresholds at 90%-100%.

Turns out tlp, at some point, started ignoring /etc/tlp.conf, and was pointing to /etc/default/tlp

YtTags is another useful tool

I don’t understand. What was his end game? Was he suffering from some mental distress? Did he want to get shot by the cops? Was this a prank to get clicks? So many questions

Hands down the Pentel RSVP ballpoint pen

I wish more businesses would invest the $2 it takes to utilize these pens. It’s basically going from: “Hey, Michelangelo, we’ve got this large block of marble, and a hammer. Make us a masterpiece!” to "Mr Buonarroti, here are all of the tools you’ll need to write tiny text on tiny pieces of marble

Years ago my mother was going through an old box of photos we brought with us when we moved to a new country. These were all in weird size formats, I guess it was developed on whatever size paper that shop had on hand that day. There were pictures of my mother and father when they got married, various family events and family members. Then there were at least 3 black and white (maybe purplish or orangeish?) polaroid sized photos of my father and mother with 2 babies about the same age, then there was another of my father, my mother, myself and some kid - we were both dressed alike more or less (short sleeve button up shirts and shorts) and were standing in front of the front door to one of the apartments we rented, me and the other boy were standing in front of my parents and an uncle and aunt besides my mother and father. The last one I saw was of me and this boy, on what I remember was my first day of kindergarten. Right after the picture was taken I remember crying as some kids do when their parent leave them at the entrance to a new school. I mean I still can feel the tears on my face to this day…I guess I was a little dramatic

The weird thing is, I remember all of my childhood friends, I remember us doing stupid things, I remember falling out of a swing and whacking my head so hard on concrete I saw stars. I remember us getting in trouble for going swimming in a nearby river when we were like 6 or 7. I remember waking up, I remember getting ready for school, I remember breakfast, I remember going to sleep. I remember all of these things, but I don’t remember this random kid from these photos. I’ve asked my mother about it once or twice, but she says she has no idea what I’m talking about. I’ve tried looking for the photos again, but I moved away a while ago and it’s bugged me all of my adult life. Did I just maybe have a really vivid dream after watching some tv show? Did I space out while we were going through those photos. I tell myself he was probably just a cousin that spent time with us. it’s just weird because I’m the only kid of that age group in the family, I was the first grand kid in both families there were no other kids my age in the family when I was growing up

I’d go bankrupt 0.00001 seconds into the maintenance cycle

Something valuable you say…hmmm, let me think about it for a sec
