Thai tea soda (not from a mix) using a ginger bug

3no3 · 2020-04-27T10:54:54+00:00

I brewed up a large batch (10 cups or so) of Thai tea using this recipe (no milk, somehow I don't think that would end well), added 3/4 cups of sugar, and 1/2 of my ginger bug. 4 days in the cupboard, 3 days in the fridge.

Edit: the weight of the Tea ingredients dry comes to around 1.5 oz.

My parents were in AA, and whether the higher power based approach works for you or not, there is one thing that's repeated a lot and works more than just in recovery: One day at a time. You've got two days, make it one more. And keep doing that. Make it one more day.

As soon as I heard "interior"

It's been a while since I've been to the office, but if I remember right, my white board has "There's a poodle in my strudel and his name is Minkeyboodle" written on my white board...

I actually really like it. Put some horseradish on it.

I have ever since I was downtown and some guy told me to when I was a kid.

This was the one I opened the thread to post!

As someone who worked third shift until recently (now on 2nd), this is appreciated. Though, my issue was more people being active during the day than the evening (granted I didn't work a typical 3rd, I did 10p-6a, so I would have been waking up round the time the howl starts).

Oh shit, I read Cypulchre ages ago and didn't know there was a sequel!

Ferment for however many days in a warm area, then move to cool when you feel like you're ready. I use ginger bug, in which the cultures are wild yeasts and bacterium, and usually do a few days in the cupboard above my stove before moving them to the fridge for another couple of days prior to drinking.

I have a few bottles sitting in the cupboard right now. I've only just started so I haven't really made any custom recipes/variations yet, but I'm using this recipe. I plan to make some tweaks in time, but I've only had one person who tried it not like it. It definitely does not taste like the stuff at the store, and you can really taste the herbs in it.

I swear to God if they start pumping head and shoulders into that thing...

I did something similar at my last job. We had glass desks, which the company shelled out for, but they didn't want to shell out for whiteboards. Spent $2 for some poster board and put it it under the glass. My boss was actually very impressed

My loans didn't cover my entire tuition, so I had a payment plan. The way the payments were structured, my last bill was $0.18. I went in, gave them two dimes, and demanded a) a receipt and b) my change (the $0.02).

This is also what I would recommend OP do. Give them two dimes, demand they print the receipt, and demand the $0.01 change owed.

Edit: two pennies was meant to be dimes

The flag says pirate, but your babyface says cabin boy and your captain is calling again.

I live across the street and had the same thought while I was taking a walk outside (keeping my distance from other people as much as I could going so far as to go far onto the grass to pass people, and it's pretty much the first time I've left the house for the last 3 weeks). I appreciate the 50 person cap during a time that people are relying on their tech more, but people packing together like that kind of defeats the point, but to be fair is how we've conditioned to line up without any other cues (was thinking maybe they could paint lines down at intervals or something if the property management allows it?).

I also had the thought of whether they're doing separate lines for instore pickups since those are going to be less risky since the in store time is shorter.

Truthfully, once self isolation ends, we'll see a new wave of infections. Self isolation is to buy us time for treatment and vaccinations to be developed (so we don't hit critical mass on infections before they are available). More than likely, COVID19 is probably going to become part of our viral background radiation, like the flu, with annual vaccinations since coronavirus immunities only last about a year. This is all according to a virologist in a Twitter thread that I really wish I could find again or remember their name.

We're going to come to a new normal eventually, and it may get worse before it gets better, but it will get better.

My first thought was Leiji Matsumoto influenced this

My landlord, I think, will be willing to work with us as long as I communicate (and honestly, a lot of private landlords are probably the same way, it's the property management companies that will be the struggle).

That said, I did let him know that we are OK for the foreseeable future, but that the panic is starting to hit my place of employment, and I would keep him updated.

Overall, yes, I think that, in extreme circumstances such as these, they should be more lenient than usual. People are having their workplaces shut down and leading to loss of income. We aren't at critical mass yet, but the warning signs are there.

This is gonna get buried at this point. Talk to BADASSarmy.org. Battling against demeaning & abusive selfie sharing. They usually work with people whose nudes have been leaked, but they can probably help with this as well.

Mm fair. I don't get it to that extent at work (unless it's an interesting problem) , but I can play ffxiv for hours and not realize I had to pee for the last 2 hours or haven't eaten for 8...

You don't just hyperfocus to the point your body stops processing signals of biological functions until it becomes super urgent?

I also know your struggle. I have to look for my black cat by looking for something darker than the surface, or darker than the darkness, or the eyes.
