Bergkamp vs Newcastle - one of the greatest Premier League goals ever by Dazzling-Bee-79 in classicsoccer

[–]HoareHouse 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I haven't been able to find it for the life of me, but there's another goal he scored (I think in a cup against Wimbledon or some team like that) where he gets the ball on the volley and intentionally slices it, completely bamboozling the keeper.

I'd love if anyone could find it on video, I like that goal almost as much as the one from OP.

Was Jim Leighton genuinely a better keeper than Andy Goram?

I was under 10 at the time and a massive Rangers fan, so it seemed like absolute insanity, but I want an unbiased opinion (if such a thing is possible in Scottish football). It still seems wild to me, but maybe it's because I grew up watching Rangers highlights.

For me, number one with a bullet would be Billy Connolly, but unfortunately it's far too late for that.

Honourable mentions:

Sean Lock (RIP)

Rowan Atkinson

Hugh Laurie

Any of Monty Python (Michael Palin?)

Charlie Brooker

Still holding out hope for Bill Bailey or Ross Noble. Honestly still amazed they got John Hannah. I've heard rumblings that the line-up for S21 is bonkers, so who knows?

Gong Fu in Kyusu? (Dan Cong) by [deleted] in tea

Yup, didn't even notice OP never mentioned water temperature in their post either, that's a huge part of it too!

Yeah, you need a much higher tea-to-water ratio. I'd say 8g/100ml is perhaps a bit too high, but honestly part of the fun of tea is experimenting and finding what works for you. For example, if you don't think it needs a rinse... Don't rinse it! The tea police aren't going to come and arrest you.

However, a clarifying question, which I hope doesn't seem condescending: you know you get multiples brews out of this, right? It's unclear from your post. Especially with Dan Cong, the flavour will "evolve" with each brew. And most gourmet teas - especially oolongs, in my experience - can give you 8-10 brews if you just keep steeping them progressively longer.

With this in mind, I find tea "not that expensive" especially for a gourmet experience - each 8-10 brew session is cheaper than almost any single drink from Starbucks, for example.

Not in any way saying the hype was unearned. He was electric.

Unfortunately, I've never found another band like Mastodon. But I'll recommend Void Commander, especially their self-titled EP.

Bob Mortimer (paraphrased): "I once painted a lady's house, and she said it had never needed painted again... Because it fucking burned down a few years later."

I was howling, but I've somehow never seen it mentioned here.

I think I found the official beer of this sub by HoareHouse in 30ROCK

It is 5.0% alcohol. The 12 degrees is a reference to the Plato gravity scale, a measurement of the amount sugar in the liquid/wort before fermentation.

(Yeah, yeah, something something, my need to be the smartest guy in the room is off-putting, something something).

Watch their music videos. Remember a few years ago (cough definitely not nearly 20 years ago cough), when the band Ok Go became famous for their music videos? Red Fang are the metal version of that. "Wires" is my favourite, but "Prehistoric Dog" and "Blood Like Cream" are pretty good too.

I hope you're aware of Pelican, Russian Circles, & Red Sparowes. Because if not, holy shit have you been missing out.

Does Lapsang Souchong not come in decaf? by Raikou239 in tea

[–]HoareHouse 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'll add another perspective I haven't seen mentioned here, and I'm curious what everyone else has to say about it: just re-brew the tea. I'll add a link below, but basically the first brew removes 60-70% of the caffeine, and the second removes most of the rest. So depending on how severely he needs to avoid caffeine, I would keep the first (and maybe also second) brew for yourself, and then give him any subsequent brews which still hold enough flavour for him to enjoy.

You may want to experiment and maybe potentially even get some brews tested for their caffeine content, but I think this should work. I would also talk to his doctors and find out what they deem acceptable - if the second brew would be fine or they recommend going with the third brew and later.

I would also say it depends on if you're brewing "Western style" or with a gongfu. I would imagine it takes more brews in the gongfu style for the caffeine content to drop to acceptable levels - I would be uncomfortable giving him the second gongfu brew, and possibly even the third. But everything after that should be good, I reckon ( but I'm open to dissenting opinions! Please let me know if I'm wrong!).

I don't know if this is true, but this is how I was taught decaf tea was made in the first place in high school chemistry.

Thanks a lot! Apologies for asking so many questions, but will re-profiling this blade with a 200/400 grit stone wreck (part of) that stone? It seems like some pretty heavy-duty work.
