You haven't had good tea or coffee then. The quality of the tea or beans, water temp, steep time, water quality, brew method can make or ruin any cup of coffee or tea. Get yourself to a nice local roaster or tea shop and have them brew you a cup. Can't speak thoroughly on tea but for the best coffee order a pour over (chemex or v60 if they offer options) of a single origin bean (usually on their specials menu) that has tasting notes that sound good to you. Alternatively get an espresso of a single origin bean if you'd rather get punched in the face with coffee flavor. Guaranteed it'll be unlike any coffee you've had before
Haven't read the sil yet but my impression of the elves from the trilogy was that they're a bunch of intelligent, nostalgic, racist, isolationist weirdos who just so happen to be good hosts and don't wear their bigotry on their sleeves (most of the time)
Unskilled labor is a bullshit term used to diminish the work done by people in low paying jobs. Many people would say that a line cook is unskilled, slightly above flipping burgers or digging ditches. It's nebulous and useless for productive conversation
You can get plant based dino nuggets now. So plants altered into some ungodly simulacrum of an animals flesh, pressed into the form of a different animal, and covered in other plants. Originally to hide the corpse but now it's to laugh in the face of all things natural and whole. I like the spicy ones
Depending on the state of the thing you're looking at, maybe? A pixel 6 pro goes for ~220 on backmarket and ~210 on eBay. Does eBay guarantee free 30 day returns and have a great 1 year warranty? Depends on the seller. Backmarket offers it sitewide. Id rather pay a few extra bucks to not have to fight with someone over getting my money back or my shit fixed
She recently tried to sue someone for tracking her jet, that's why she's catching a lot of heat right now. It isn't sus, its the same reaction musk got when he tried to do the same thing to the same person in 2022/23
She's a billionaire. She could fly first class, rent out an entire train, purchase a fleet of evs or go by bus like a normal touring musician. She has plenty of options and chooses the worst one
Most gas stations here have convenience stores attached and they're typically 24 hr. It's a common gathering place for night owls and degens lol. I've spent a lot of time at gas stations just hanging out with friends or the cashier after getting off work at 3am. Drink a couple tall boys, chain smoke, shoot the shit and unwind a bit before heading home. It's nice
I just got to chapter 3. I started reading it around christmas lol. My e-reader says it'll take me about 12 hours to finish. I'm also reading seeing like a state which is a little over twice as long and that's saying it'll take me 10. Gender trouble makes me question if I even know how to read. I wish you the best in your endeavor, try to avoid an aneurysm if you can
Non-tea teas are usually referred to as tisanes by those who care enough to make a distinction between the two
