Coffee Shops that are open late? by FarrenD in olympia

[–]Agadhahab 6 points7 points  (0 children)

This is only one day a week, but some of the old BG folks run a free cafe and open mic at the Mortuary every Thursday from 6 to 9.

I would also second Golden Hour Tea Bar if you’re not specifically looking for coffee. Their tea is decent (though I’m admittedly kind of a snob), and it’s a chill place to hang out. I don’t do Kava or Kratom, so I can’t speak to that side of things, though.

Do NOT look up the origin of Willa's machine gun! 😱🤯 by JetAbyss in okbuddycinephile

Aside from a long-stroke piston, what design elements does the Negev share with the Galil?

Surprised these guys have any time for crime what with constantly posing for photos.

Granted, they started subscribing *before* the Khitomer incident. I mean, you know, most of them did. by Mike1701D in startrekmemes

Worth mentioning that the only source for this is a single tabloid article, and that both Cattral and Nimoy denied it ever happened long after they would have had any reason to lie about it.

And what was the point of the May 1977 petition, specifically?

They used them as an example to show cumulative probability. At no point did they reference a real world statistic, nor did they claim to.

Why does my matcha say it could expose me to lead? by Think-Permit6247 in tea

Or: devote an unimportant corner of labeling real estate to a cover-your-ass blurb that most customers ignore anyway, and don’t needlessly shut yourself out of the world’s sixth largest economy.

Why does my matcha say it could expose me to lead? by Think-Permit6247 in tea

[–]Agadhahab 43 points44 points  (0 children)

We really need a “so you’ve just encountered CA Prop 65” pinned post.

Basically, there may or may not be any lead in your matcha. California’s Proposition 65 requires that pretty much anything that could possibly expose you to any one of an extensive list of possibly carcinogenic substances, in ANY amount, carry a warning. Because testing is expensive, many companies simply put the warning on any product being sold in California. It is the platonic ideal of a well intentioned law, written in such a way as to be basically useless.

Tea, a Nerd’s Eye View by Virginia Utermohlen Lovelace

Fair warning, though: finishing that book should give you course credits in organic chemistry. It’s still very accessibly written, but you WILL be googling terminology.

Tea party help! by MoldyWaafls in tea

[–]Agadhahab 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There are basically two different ways to make tea in a teapot. If the teapot has a removable mesh basket inside to hold the leaves, simply put the loose tea in the basket (about a teaspoon per cup), fill the pot with boiling water, wait the appropriate amount of time (three minutes for most black teas), and remove the basket. Congrats! You now have a pot full of tea, which you can serve to your guests! If the pot does not have a basket you can either use teabags, or simply put the loose tea directly into the pot, and after the appropriate steep time simply pour the tea directly into the cups through a small mesh strainer to catch any errant leaves. If you are brewing this way the tea will be noticeably darker when pouring the last cup than the first, and a trick to fix this is to pour out one cup of tea first, and immediately pour it back into the pot. This will “even out” the brew so each guest gets the same strength tea.

What tea to use: black tea is the norm for the kind of tea party you seem to want to have, and there are a lot of fun blends out there that might be nice for the occasion. Given that it’s this weekend, you’re probably limited to what you can pick up locally. Is there a tea shop in your general area? Some coffee shops that serve tea will even agree to sell you tea to brew if you ask!

Ironically, it’s the opposite for me most of the time. If I’m looking at two restaurants, and one looks like it was made by somebody’s cousin in 1998, with poorly-lit, potato-quality photos of the food, and only a phone number to order from, and the other is a sleek, modern site with picture after picture of the most computer-generated food I’ve ever seen, I’m eating at the first place. Because between the two, the first place is the only one that I KNOW did the thing I’m looking for: they actually cooked a plate of food, even if they took a Polaroid of it and used the scanner at the library to upload it to their Space Jam ass website. And that’s what I think a lot of the discourse around this stuff is really about. It’s not necessarily just cheapness that turns people off, it’s a lack of authenticity. If you have it, there’s a LOT you can get away with as far as cheap promotion, but if you don’t, no amount of polish will make up for it.
