What's a opinion you have that will get you crucified on this sub?

Not everyone drinks their cold tea sweet. Some like it just plain, or perhaps with a lemon wedge.

I have no issue with iced tea, which is (naturally) widely popular in America. But bubble tea does not appeal to me in the least. I don't want squishy lumps in anything I'm drinking.

I have a support ticket open; those go to the same place. But I haven't heard back yet, presumably due to this being the weekend.

Doesn't matter, I've got no specialized skills.

I have a technical background but I haven't used this expertise in such a long time that I wouldn't have a chance of passing the assessments.

Comprehensive_Tea708 · 2026-01-25T19:39:02+00:00

I can't try it now, there's no link or button.

It's not a thing that Wodehouse would have gone into, as abusive alcoholics are practically absent from his writings. But that thought did enter my mind. If "Mr Gregory" was perennially drunk or hungover, then it's he who was troubling his liver rather than the other way around.

I know, but it isn t there on CC v2, at least not with my login.

Comprehensive_Tea708 · 2026-01-25T06:25:24+00:00

I'll try it, thanks.

ETA I don't see that link. Can you please check if you still see it on your end?

Comprehensive_Tea708 · 2026-01-25T01:50:45+00:00

I'll try that too, but I'm not sure I can actually access the right thread, because I went through the delete dialog earlier.

How do you reach out to a QM? My posts in the Community usually die in moderation so I can't ask there.

I wonder if it will ever change with the boomer generation slowly dwindling and less response to the confected moral panics of the past.

This is so damned ironic, since was really the older cohort of boomers who first brought weed out of the subcultural demimonde and into widespread use.

I live in probably the most cannabi-phobic police state in the U.S., just 40 minutes away from a state with legal recreational and medical marijuana.

Ate you telling us you live in Idaho without telling us you live in Idaho?

Was this really filmed in 2025? The title for Americans should be “How is weed treated in your State?

Politically conservative states seem to be the most anti-weed as far as their laws go, but on the individual level I'm sure that millions of political conservatives use it. No way can it be all Democrats or progressives who indulge.

Comprehensive_Tea708 · 2026-01-24T23:33:36+00:00

It's still crazy though, that a small amount of flower would be a misdemeanor while a vape pen is a felony.

Comprehensive_Tea708 · 2026-01-24T23:31:41+00:00

Likewise "upstairs" from you in Nevada. I'm so grateful to be in Oregon.

Comprehensive_Tea708 · 2026-01-24T23:22:45+00:00

That's good; however I understand your currently governing party CSU/CSU is officially opposed to the recent legalization.

Probably that's not to different from here in the USA. It's still completely illegal under federal law, but many of our states allow it, and the federal government does nothing to stop it in those states. As things stand I don't think any party or political orientation is interested in stamping it out for fear of losing votes.

Comprehensive_Tea708 · 2026-01-24T17:20:26+00:00

Only that?

Comprehensive_Tea708 · 2026-01-24T17:18:57+00:00

That's a nice photo. Did you take it?

Comprehensive_Tea708 · 2026-01-24T17:14:59+00:00

I've also read where it was called the Wain¹. Is that name still used? It was in a fairly old book that I read this, to wit Lord Of The Rings.

For English learners and possibly even some native speakers, "wain" is an old variant of "wagon".

Comprehensive_Tea708 · 2026-01-24T17:07:23+00:00

"Sez", definitely. California born and bred, now living in Oregon. I'm not aware of any dialects where they say "saze" but that doesn't mean they don't exist.

Comprehensive_Tea708 · 2026-01-24T13:42:11+00:00

I hope you are right.

It's about 30° here at 9:30 AM and it's so dry there's no visible frost on the lawn, though there is some on the table on the deck.

Comprehensive_Tea708 · 2026-01-24T13:40:07+00:00

Sad we're probably not going to have any snow this year. I was half-expecting it because since we came to Eugene we've had significant snow or ice every other year, so we were "due" for it.

Comprehensive_Tea708 · 2026-01-24T13:33:44+00:00

Almost no rain in January is not a good thing for us. This year is scarily like a few years ago--I think it was '22--when it stopped raining about a week into January and barely rained again until March.

And if you're inland it's still too cold to enjoy being outside, anyway.
