For bagged black tea, I use a kettle to boil water, pour it over the bag in a 15 oz mug, and steep for three minutes. If you don’t have a kettle, a microwave works fine (contrary to what snobs say), but be aware that it will be hotter than you’d get from a kettle because it also heats the mug. If the tea is bitter, cut the heat and steep time. If it’s not strong enough, adding more tea leaves is ideal, but adding heat or steep time can also help.

Edit: I don’t agitate tea as it is steeping but I imagine it would have a similar effect to increasing steep time.

Thanks. The “take small bites to feel less hungry” thing is dark

Is there a citation for this? Not that I doubt McD’s would do this.

Keto-mojo asked for their address and phone number, so they said they were homeless and lost their phone, and it worked

Who’s saying they’re refusing to vote?

That’s so great, I’m happy for you!

the most democratic society on earth

Wait… do you really think the US is the most democratic society on earth?

I found Kreia’s “nuance” tedious. I help someone and she’s all “but if you force them to help themselves they’ll be stronger”. Shut up space Ayn Rand

If believing genocide is unjustifiable means you’re a tankie, guess I’m a tankie.

Biden is just kind of apologetically supporting them because he’s a weak leader that can’t afford to rock the boat … If Biden actually wins the election, he may actually end American support

No, he is ideologically committed to supporting Israel. He has said this multiple times and I see no reason to disbelieve him. I think it’s equally likely Trump would stop supporting Israel because of America First/antisemitism, which is to say, so unlikely as to be impossible.

Probably fine. I think a lot about how Bayer, which literally made the gas for the chambers, is still around and apparently doing well. And while Germany was war ravaged, it wasn’t to a much greater extent than the rest of Europe.

had Democrats been in power from 2016 forward

They had a 60-seat senate majority in the senate in 2008 and chose not to codify Roe. They twirled their thumbs while Republicans openly plotted to do exactly what they did, for decades. If Democrats had been in power in 2016, Republicans would have done the same thing in 2020, or 2024, or whenever they got power back.

I’m not saying don’t vote Democrat, but electoral politics is not enough.

They just want to make sure the money goes to the whiteright people

FTFY

100%. You are not the problem, the problem is the government and its corporate controllers who decided to just let it run rampant.

Wow, really? I was under the impression soda is good for your health. Tell me more.

I’ll never not post this when people talk about Kirk this way: Freshly Remember’d: Kirk Drift

No, by our current understanding there is no length smaller than a Planck length, and any distance must therefore be divisible by an integer. That is, the length is made up of discrete quanta. Pi, or any other irrational number, is by definition not divisible by an integer, or it would be a ratio, making it rational. This has nothing to do with the accuracy or precision of our measures.

Plus, if you have two people with legit access, you can pretty easily figure out what’s going on and defeat it.
