  • The lack of tea lovers in the US is definitely the issue. Most grocery stores have disgusting low quality tea so most Americans don't like tea. I've been sending family high quality tea for years now and they love it but can't find anything remotely close locally.

  • I grew up in FL and was denied service 2 separate times for being mixed race. This occurred in the early 2000s. Both times the restaurants were subtlety segregated and they refused to seat us in either section.

  • So I found your comment about dreadlocks being Nordic interesting and looked it up. Wikipedia claims that oldest depictions of dreadlocks date to the Minoan Civilization on Crete. They are also found in Asia and the Americas which could indicate they are a much older (or common) hairstyle. All very interesting!

  • Half of the old testament just feels like health codes. This is make sure to not poop where you live. Other stuff is don't eat foods that will make you sick.

  • My bad understanding is that Hollywood was giving actors contracts where they would own your likeness forever. They want to make 3D models of actors they could use in future projects without the actors consent. Effectively not needing to hire actors because they could use past 3D models.

    If anyone has more info please correct me.

  • To be fair, Imperial it's a base 12 compared to Metric which is a base 10. The nice thing about a base 12 is you can divide it by 3 or 2 which is easier for day to day things. I'm sure also having uneducated masses made base 12 easier when you could do conversions of 3 or 2 units which is easier to understand.

    I watched this show as a kid when it originally aired and this quote stuck with me. It's reminded me to make the best of the situation I'm currently in and enjoy the good things around me.

  • Totally agreed! However the ferris wheel was built by actual engineers not some rich guy who fired/sued his engineers into silence.
