Still sounds strange but I’ll try it out ; )

Baking soda?! I found alkaline water gave terrible results, do you add it after brewing?

To minimize bitterness with a fast brew as others have mentioned, try out CTC black tea, it’s machined (“crush-tear-curl”) tea that comes in a coarse powder/pellet form and extracts completely and quickly due to enormous surface area. You’ll be sure to find it some an Indian grocery store. Brooke Bond Red Label, Lipton Yellow Label, and Wagh Bakri are the names I remember seeing, IIRC I’ve tried all of those and they’re all about the same. Terrible sounding process name but give it a chance!

If no more sugar will dissolve I’d take that as a sign that it’s time to stop adding sugar. I mean, the water is saying so.

My whole family got a hotel when our delayed plane made us miss a connection and that was five years back.

I don’t fly much and sleepable benches helps me feel like that’s the right thing to not do.

Absolutely won’t be taking off on that plane; it’s not going to be a 30-minute Safelite AeroGlass™️ appointment. And airlines don’t keep planes sitting around not making money so they won’t have a spare aircraft available to fly that route so all the passengers will likely get hotel and meal vouchers and changed tickets for the next day.

That was just the tech weenies with their ‘architecturally sound strategy’ or whatever, before the business side beat talked some sense into them.

RFKj just announced he plans to ban lip balm.

No way, I know where that ring has been.

Looks like they reconsidered using the Spongebob typeface.

The prophecy of the Chosen One who would bring balance to the Force for a little while.

You don’t need gadgets! My on-the-go setup is a couple of disposable coffee cups and a strainer and with a source of hot water I’m all sorted. Brew in one cup, strain into the other, drink, repeat until the tea’s all brewed out.

That.

I’ve only ever seen this in South America, yeah.

Bless your heart.

I have a good reply but I posted it under this comment.

I have a UDP joke but I don’t know if you’ll get it.

Straightforward funding requests from the instance are just fine. Advertisements can gargle a cactus.

One of the few times I’ve been able to do it was when saw a billboard (ordinary) and remembered “Hey written text is supposed to be nonsense in dreams, I wonder if I can take control?” and it worked!

I bought a Silo once, like twenty years ago. Dropped it on asphalt and they replaced it. Dropped that on asphalt and they sent me two. Dropped one of those on concrete and they sent me two more, one in Tritan and one in polypropylene.

Apparently I’m not allowed to not have a Nalgene. I lose them all the time, but never for long.
