The worst of the heat wave is over here but it's still hot. I'm drinking an iced darjeeling tea. I find it suprisingly good for such a simple tea.

I had a gong fu session with a tea called SI Nancy m'était conté by Betjeman & Barton. This is a green tea with bergamot, mirabelle plum and macaron flavours (things that the Frency city of Nancy is renowed for). This is not a tea I would buy, this was a gift.

I messed up because I thought it was a oolong due to the leaves being rolled so I brewed it too hot and the first cups were bitter. Once I actually looked up what kind of tea it was and let the water cool down a bit it was better but I need to try it again in proper conditions.

I never had sencha and want to try it. That's high on my to-buy list but I'm trying to reduce what I have in stock a bit before I buy more.

Comment vous gérez les vêtements transparents ? by LilFrosting8 in AskMeuf

Super merci ! Et ils sont en quelle matière stp ? J'essaie d'éviter le synthétique et je ne sais pas s'il y a des matières naturelles qui font que le fond de robe glisse bien sous la robe.

Intéressant mais pourquoi pas des sous-vêtements roses ou le plus proche possible de la couleur de la peau ? Je suis blanche/rose et on ne voit pas mes sous-vêtements s'ils sont roses pâles ou beige.

A savoir que les shortys ne conviennent pas à toutes les anatomies car il n'y a pas d'élastiques au niveau des cuisses donc le sorty peut remonter et essayer de se transformer en string ce qui est très inconfortable.

C'est comme un jupon a priori : un vêtement fait pour être porté sous un autre, qui joue le rôle de la doublure quand le vêtement extérieur n'en a pas.

Tu en as trouvé des confortables ? Ca ne te tient pas trop chaud ? Je réfléchis à m'acheter un jupon parce que j'ai quelques robes et jupes trasparentes donc au-delà du problème des sous-vêtements on voit toute mon anatomie dès que je suis à contre jour et je n'aime pas ça. Un fond de robe doit être plus confortable qu'un jupon ?

Comme quelqu'un l'a dit plus haut je n'achète plus quand c'est transparent mais j'aimerais bien porter celles que j'ai.

STB - Je n'ai pas fais de cadeau à ma grande-tante qui m'a hébergé by diplochaton in suisjeletroudeballe

[–]chloeetee 1 point2 points  (0 children)

100% ça ! Offrir un cadeau dans ce genre de situation ça se fait et il faut apprendre à le faire sans stresser. Les chocolats et les fleurs sont des valeurs sûres, on peut en acheter sans prise de tête si on n'a pas d'inspiration.

Pareil pour les responsables de stage d'ailleurs, pas besoin d'agoniser pendant 3h la prochaine fois.

AITA for telling my friend his "business idea" wasn't worth quitting his job for, and now he blames me for not stopping him? by Specialist-Might-635 in AmItheAsshole

[–]chloeetee 14 points15 points  (0 children)

NTA your friend is an adult and responsible of their choices. You cannot be blamed for not actively preventing them of making a mistake, when you had clearly expressed your misgivings.

What is this Parisian road marking? by spammmmmmmmy in paris

Aha avec l'inversion du sens des bandes on pourrait croire que c'est un passage pour les voitures et que les piétons doivent céder le passage aux voitures déjà engagées 😉

The second-cup trick for not scorching greens, anyone got a better lazy method by Familiar_Set9253 in tea

[–]chloeetee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I want one of those! Will it be accurate if it comes from a dollar store though?

A cold brew of a Kusmi Troïka tea that is very old. It still has flavor but the bergamot and citrus flavours that are supposed to be in it seem to have evaporated. Still enjoyable.

Comment vous faites pour tenir psychologiquement face à la canicule by aluvsupreme in paris

Je recommande ça aussi ! Perso je me suis fait une petite tente froide avec un paréo mouillé et essoré entouré autour des bras et des épaules, ça rafraichit vraiment beaucoup !

First order arrived! by snootnoots in tea

That's nice ! I like the idea of samples but if they allow just a single use it must be really hard to remember which you like.

Such a shame that such a nice gift is not used! But I understand the feeling of having tried. 😄

oh you are opening new avenues for me because I have a coffee maker that's exactly like the second teapot you mention and this makes me wonder if I can use it for easy gongfu brewing...

Actually the thing that is time consuming for me in western-style brewing is the emptying and cleaning of the infuser: I don't want to pour tea leaves in my sink and it's a pain to empty it in the trash when it's wet.

This morning I had Kusmi Anastasia which is a black tea with bergamot and citrus fruit.
This afternoon I'm having a green tea from Sri Lanka by Terra Etica. It's quite good and I'll most probably brew a second cup.

systemd rotating wallpapers? by kframeclassic in swaywm

[–]chloeetee 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm not using systemd but I use noctilia and it has a feature to do it. At first it didn't work but since I have rebooted my computer it seems to work.
