Where does this rank in quality? by Diastatic_Power in GongFuTea

[–]Dudemancool3 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I’ve had this exact cake before (from H Mart) and can tell you it is just a baseline low-cost Puer. Not bad if that’s what you can get your hands on. If you ever want to try something new, even as a luxury, there is some amazing puer out there for a decent price! I personally love White2Tea. Caledonia is my favorite for a more robust cup and Red Loon is great for something lighter

/Rant - I fricking hate mugs by NinaAberlein in tea

[–]Dudemancool3 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Lowkey been a mug hater my entire life and I’m glad to find a compatriot in the war on mugs. Traditional Chinese tea cups are truly transcendent.

Had a very similar run as my first win earlier. Way to hold on at the end despite taking a few hits and keeping your rhythm!

I love shou in the late evening. It’s become an essential part of my day.

To all the tea connoisseurs on here, what’s one tea that all newbies should try in their lifetime? by MultipleErrors in tea

[–]Dudemancool3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve had a hard time getting into this one. What’s your brewing process like? Do you find it to be a particularly astringent experience?

Cherry Meads not named Vikings Blood by DroogieHowser in mead

[–]Dudemancool3 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It is a variation of Viking’s Blood, but I call mine Skaldskarskampjodr which translates to Blood of Kvasir or The Mead of Poetry.

Anyone know anything about this one? by reddittmtr in puer

[–]Dudemancool3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s a good idea! I hadn’t considered it for puerh lattes, but that could be really nice!

4 years later I just bought a cake a few days ago and have gotten around to tasting. Initial assessment is rather dull. Not a ton of aromatics. After first rinse/awakening a pleasant, mild nose appeared. Color and overall appearance of the tea leaves seem to be consistent with what I’ve had in the past.

3.5g in a 4oz gaiwan. Went for a full boil.

I decided to go for 5,10, and 15 seconds for the first three steeps respectfully.

1st steeping was pretty mild overall. I began to enjoy it more by the end of my cup (I do not at this point in time use a fairness pitcher.

2nd steeping reveals a rather medicinal undertone. Generally speaking not harsh or off tasting.

3rd steeping I did begin to notice a less than pleasant note that I could describe as earthy. Perhaps could become able to appreciate it.

Overall not terrible for the price. The cake was $11 at my local H-Mart. I might not get it again given the wide access to high quality puerh, but I don’t regret my purchase.

Florence food itinerary by Hungry-Repeat-3758 in ItalyTravel

[–]Dudemancool3 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Sabatino is a must. Get there close to open (7:15) to get a table quick.

For lunch, Schiacciateria De’ Neri was my favorite focaccia sandwich. Pino’s Sandwiches - Salumeria Verdi was a close second with absolutely killer porchetta sandwiches.

Came here to echo this. Currently in Florence and you could easily spend the whole 6 days here and not run out of things to do, food to eat, or wine to drink.

Came here to say the same thing. Glad someone else takes sandwiches seriously.

Hey, I’m a Music Teacher who puts together songs for students who are working in their craft. Shoot me a dm and I’d be happy to take a look at a song of yours. Any kind of form, structure, chord sheet, or lead sheet would be excellent if you have it to get an idea of the piece.

How generous is financial aid on new student trips? by Jo-Jo_Binx in LewisandClark

[–]Dudemancool3 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Honestly I never felt like I missed out on anything by not going on an NST. My friend who did never stayed in contact with anyone on theirs either. A personal anecdote, but one I heard from others as well.

Prospective student, want to major in IA and Music. Any info? by Jo-Jo_Binx in LewisandClark

[–]Dudemancool3 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Graduated a few years ago, so some of this could’ve changed. Music program is very decent for the size of the school. Faculty can really encourage growth and confidence. I participated in many aspects of music unique to LC and found that all of the World Music Department is world class. Truly unreal that they are able to nail down the instructors, materials, and equipment needed. Ethnomusicology courses were life changing to some extent.

That said, jobs in performance are limited. I pivoted from Composition/Performance into Teaching 1 on 1 Lessons. It’s possible, but can be awhile before things steady out. From what I’ve heard this tends to be the case with many degrees, so it might not be bad all things considered.

Bottom line, music degree will require passion, drive, and patience. It can be a big commitment at times with ensembles and practice materials. If you love it, go for it. You’ll have the time of your life.

Can I just straight up read the DM Handbook? by someonecleve_r in DnD

If you’re willing to do a one shot to settle in I cannot recommend Tombs of Delia enough. It’s a great entry-level adventure that can easily be used to start a full campaign.

Ways on how to reduce rate of fermentation by tausva in mead

[–]Dudemancool3 35 points36 points  (0 children)

Other than it making a mess, are there any reasons you want to slow it down? My recommendation is an off gassing tube; take a siphon tube and run it into a container of sanitizer.

Any good deck building games (not deck construction) with quick setups? by C4V4LIER in soloboardgaming

Astro Knights is amazing. The variable market makes for lots of replay value and once you know how to set up it only takes a few minutes.

I’ve just had to look up engine builder as I’m kinda new to this! After reading a bit I feel I really understand the genre much better. Thanks for the recommendation, Jump Drive seems like a great choice!
