I fuck numbers.

I’m not totally against fireworks. As others have mentioned, sometimes we do need to just have some fun and not worry about the consequences. But they should be done far from residential area, so that unwilling people (e.g. vets, children, or pets) aren’t disturbed. (Honestly though, I wish we didn’t have any vets with PTSD, that’s the worse problem. As long as we still have wars, I’d say let the people have some fun.)
No idea. It was a laptop screenshot.
I think it’s because it’ll promote smaller sizes in general, which is almost always better to handle. (If it can be done without significantly losing quality.)
I had a student send me the screenshot of a pdf for his homework submission. So, yeah. I guess that’s how it ends.
Not when you have 1000s of files. It adds up.
Another reminder that history is written by the victors. There have rarely been good sides in any war.
Edit: Just clarifying that I’m not supporting the Soviets here. Rather, I’m pointing out how these events are not well known.
Coffee. Caffeine doesn’t really work for me in terms of giving me energy, but I like the taste of a nice cup of cortado.
I like tea as well, but can’t stand the herbal stuff. Only Camellia sinensis for me.
This reminds me. I got some good quality Atta (Indian whole grain wheat flour) for making Rotis a few weeks ago. Haven’t even opened the packet yet.
We actually changed our plans due to the weather. Were supposed to go to a place near Dallas. But ended up going to Arkansas. Got a great view. It’s impossible to realize how mesmerizing it is unless one experiences the totality personally.
Rapist mentality.
That’s me. I do find some images of puppies or kittens cute though. But never the grown up ones. And it’s not that bad. I just don’t go to those communities.
I’m not the one who’s trying to change history here. We know that the Chinese have the oldest recorded tea consumption. Doesn’t make that the only valid way of doing it. It’s like saying that there’s only one authentic way to cook a potato, which is whatever the first person did with it.
And about whatever you said about tea being a new thing in India, it’s not accurate. It was first mass produced after the British came. But it actually goes back quite a bit. Camellia sinensis var. assamica is actually indigenous to the Assam region of India, and not “stolen from the Chinese”. Some think that some tribes in India (Singpho, Khamti) have been consuming tea from at least the 12th Century, though they had a different name for it. Some (A Revision of the Genus Camellia by Robert Sealy) think it goes back further, but idk about that.
But honestly, that’s not even the point. Why did you even feel the need to type this comment? Even if it was a 200 old tradition, that’s a pretty long time. And it should be accepted as a valid way of brewing. I’m not even disputing anything. I simply pointed out that there are alternative traditions. That the world isn’t fucking black and white. Seriously dude, when did I say anything that claimed that Indians invented tea? This isn’t twitter, no need to do this shit here.
Why do you think that the Chinese way is the only way to prepare authentic tea? It’s so weird dude. We have an ancient tea tradition in India. That’s my point. That a purist might think this method as the proper way too. And it’d be just as valid.
Which is a type of tea.
Fun fact: Ghoti is a (sort of) derogatory term for people with ancestry from West Bengal (a state in India) used by people with ancestry from Bangladesh. (Sort of, because no one really considers it offensive. The modern use is usually limited to signifying cultural differences.)
Truly one of the doods of all time.
The stock market literally forces companies to be evil. Once you do an IPO, you’re contractually obliged to be shitty in order to bring higher revenues.
Or calling all kinds of art “content”.
We are wasting up to 20% of our time with bronze problems.
