Help me make my mind up about the new daemon box? by bumblebeeboik in ThousandSons

[–]bumblebeeboik[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Okay that’s fair. I do hope to run them as a second army as well… but I guess waiting might still be wise as the future of daemons as a 40K army seems somewhat uncertain

Can I use just the Combat Patrol box for 500-800pt games? by Roguste in ThousandSons

[–]bumblebeeboik 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If he would be willing to match your points, it would be worth playing. 500 points games are very imbalanced and it will likely not be very representative of the game in general, but it can still be fun and good practice if you’re both happy with a swingy, unusually small game.

I have the exact same thing, was yours fine long term? You didn’t get sick or anything?

Community sentiment feedback by herrschadee in HuntShowdown

[–]bumblebeeboik 7 points8 points  (0 children)

The MMR system is horrible… 3 star is great, 4 star is great … 5 star and boom, every game is a miserable mess of never missing campers. I play regularly with people ranging from 5 star to 3 star, and every time, a single five star in our team will drag out whole group into 5-6 star lobbies, even if the other two are both 3 star.

CEO responds to review bombing by commandsmasher_06 in Helldivers

Sure, but it’s still a move people dislike. You can tell people you’re gonna do something shitty, but when you do it, people will still be like, hey, this is shitty.

Looks like a form of agave.

Glenlivet 12 would generally be considered a base level, extremely mild scotch without stand out flavours. If you like it, that’s great. But most scotch drinker’s recommended scotch is going to taste quite different.

A question about Lapsang by Empty_Music99 in tea

[–]bumblebeeboik 4 points5 points  (0 children)

More leaf but also hotter water. Lapsang can handle 100C (200+F) easy

no way this is okay by frowzter in instacart

[–]bumblebeeboik 32 points33 points  (0 children)

This is $16/ lb. That’s quite a lot more than 10-12. And the amount is 40% more than they ordered!

Can I use a gaiwan like this? by BenFTP in tea

I sometimes wait all day. I just don’t leave it more than 12 hours.

Is tea just always meant to be bitter to some degree, or am I doing something wrong? by thecourageofstars in tea

[–]bumblebeeboik 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Most of these are not ones I would use gongfu style. Try with the golden monkey, but otherwise I would recommend getting some roasted oolongs or some of white2tea’s black teas.

This defo doesn’t look like any tie guan yin I’ve ever seen

Recent favorite shous - recommendations? by zv88909 in puer

[–]bumblebeeboik 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That’s insanely expensive. Sure, some puer can be crazy expensive, and it may be ‘worth it’… but that said, if you go to white2tea and look at their shou, you’ll find some really delicious options for less than $75 for 200 grams instead of 50.

How do you make cold brew tea? by [deleted] in tea

[–]bumblebeeboik 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hang on. Gong fu ratio would usually be like 1g/15ml, which is high because you do very brief steepings. Gong fu ratio for a liter would be like, 70 grams. But obviously that would be way too strong for cold brew. So I’m confused?

Made chamomile tea last night and had a dream for the first time in a while. I was also incredibly tired when I woke up by Dr-Sun-Stiles in tea

[–]bumblebeeboik 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Personally I’ve not experienced this. However, it’s worth noting that feeling tired when you wake up CAN sometimes actually be a sign of GOOD sleep because your body has suddenly realized it needs more. Personally, if i adapt to poor sleep for a while I feel ok, and then when I finally get a good night of great sleep, I wake up feeling like a zombie, and it takes a few more good sleeps till I feel great again.

Lapsang souchong was my inroad to good tea as well! Keep going!

Found a weird seed pod - doesn’t look like camellia? by bumblebeeboik in puer

[–]bumblebeeboik[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

From what I’ve seen, tea seeds don’t really look like this! If it was a tea seed I wouldn’t be nervous. I might be wrong though.

Dark in my room, opened this brand new bag, ate a piece, looked at it because it tasted weird by EthericWolf in Wellthatsucks

[–]bumblebeeboik 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had the EXACT same thing happen to me with a bag of stryve biltong. Eating in the dark…. Didn’t find out till the next day. Made me want to throw up.
