  • I’m not sure how you’re doing it but using more teabags for less time in hot water will give you better flavor intensity without the more bitter tannins leeching out.

    Try boiling your water, add an extra teabag from your normal amount, and then only steep the tea in it for like 3-4 minutes and see how you like that. I like both liptons or roses tea (just normal versions), neither of which are high quality but are widely available and cheap, with this method.




  • Counterpoint, I grew up at a time when Mac’s still couldn’t do much outside of what apple specifically developed for them, so I learned a ton about emulation and virtual machines and such to play games or use Photoshop. I guess that supports your hypothesis, I can rock Unix command line stuff and containers like a pro, but hate figuring out drivers






  • Lot of good info here already, but here’s a quick easy potato that I fall back on a lot:

    -take your potato, wash it well, and poke a few holes in it all over with a fork or whatever you have

    -microwave it for ~2-4 minutes, flip, and do another 2-4 depending on how strong your microwave is and how big of a potato. If it isn’t cooked through (completely soft), flip and do another round until it is

    -bam, 4-8 minute baked potato. Cut open and put margarine in it, a bit of salt, green onion, whatever. Sour cream/cottage cheese/other cheese are a great way to make it tastier and make it a complete source of protein, mayonnaise probably isn’t as good for you but tastes similar, is easier to find cheap/free in squeeze packs, and if you can score unopened jars is shelf stable for a long time so you can have it on hand for tighter times.
