Public transportation doesn’t work in the endless suburbs and stripmalls we’ve built. It’s too spread out, and we’ve been doing it for a few generations now. It’s difficult for my countrypeople to imagine living differently, to imagine that our existence may not be their birthright.
People think nothing of living 20 plus miles from where they work or go to school, can’t imagine a world where such a thing is a ridiculous notion. We could have all these nice things. People want a better world, a more functional city.
But ask people to change, to live a smaller life, and be prepared for a deluge of excuses and justifications. We all wake up and collectively decide the world we’re gonna live in today.
I just looked and it turns out I do have a tea store in town! Just opened in the last few months. Gonna stop in and sniff around a bit
Definitely going to give the lapsing a try. Ty for the rec!
Definitely darker. I’ve been digging the straight black teas. I don’t hate green tea, but I’ve been gravitating towards the breakfast blends.
Ya, I need to get off the bags. I had no idea about the micro plastics. I’m running by my kitchen store here in the next few days and buying a basket strainer.
How do you brew yours? I’ve also seen the little baskets on a string. It seems like that could work. Idk the basket seems like the most straight forward easiest thing to do.
I’m not sure how I feel about the flavors, I always hated them in coffee, I’m hesitant to order flavored tea.
I absolutely don’t heat water in the microwave! I have a kettle like any other good god-fearing man.
However as a person who recently got into tea I’d love to hear recommendations on tea. I recently got a box of Yorkshire gold that’s been pretty good to me
As a guy who recently got into tea, any recommendations? I got a box of Yorkshire gold, it’s pretty good, but almost tastes a little… chalky? Malty I suppose is the word. It’s good, I’m not complaining, but would be interested to hear recs from someone who knows what’s what
Lol my ex girlfriend had a “karate” teacher growing up. He taught them a few “Japanese” phrases. It wasn’t until decades later she learned this dude just made it all up. I guess it was something you could get away with in early 90’s bumfuck Wisconsin. Like this dude just rolled into town, started “karate” classes, and just kinda went with it.
El lizardo is a great name for a male strip club tho!
Idk about running sims, but I switched over a yearish ago. It was a release of anxiety I didn’t even know I was carrying around with me. Just a break from the relentless capitalization and enshittification that windows jams down your throat at every given moment. It’s so nice having a system that doesn’t spy on me, does what I want when I want it, and never locks me out for any reason. I don’t have to reset the privacy settings after every update. It works faster too. 10/10 recommend.
Any “big game”. Moose taste like swamp.
Venison can be good if it’s properly butchered and stored. It so often isn’t though. People will shoot a deer then leave it to hang for a day in 50-60 degree weather. Just gross.
Bears are too greasy. And they’re too smart, eating them is just bad karma.
A lot of game meat can be good, people just have no clue what to do with the processing side of it. They’ll spend thousands of dollars buying the most ridiculous gear to kill the damn thing, and then just fail at butchering and preserving. Hunting is the easy part.
Perch are good if you fry them right. But I live up north where the water stays cooler, I think it makes the fish taste better. You go down south and anything you catch just tastes like swamp.
It was such a cool concept. The ending felt really forced, you could tell they had a bunch more story planned.
It was also cool they always filmed on location, it was nice to watch. Some shows will be set somewhere, but the background is so obviously southern California it just takes you out of the plot. I’m sure it was expensive AF, but it showed in the quality of it.
Murderbot is great, I’ll second that rec. I also really enjoyed the Revelation Space series.
Second this. The audio book is the way to go on this one.
Freedom fries and ho-downs
I have an e bike. Love it! It’s my daily commuter.
People in cars are often too impatient and callously ambivalent about anyone’s safety who’s not in a car. Idk what it is about hopping behind a wheel that makes people so impatient and mean spirited. I mean they’re driving around in an environment so comfortable and convenient it would make the pharos of old green with envy.
The infrastructure for biking, if extant at all, is often jammed in as an afterthought and far less useful, and far more dangerous than your average motorist may realize.
Also there’s a segment of my fellow bikers who bike not because they prefer it to automobiles, but because they’re not functional enough to own an auto, valid license, insurance, etc. This segment of the biking community all too often gives the rest of us a bad look.
And yes, I think a bit of well thought out regulation and enforcement may be in order.
