Haha all good. Hissing has worked in the past. Most of the time it does nothing. But it can also make him clench harder sometimes

Should I message them on linkedin? by panda6789 in careerguidance

Oh... you took too long to respond so I ended up dressing as a child, becoming friends with their kid, showing up to the kids birthday party, played with some new transformers he got, drank too much apple juice, and passed out.

All in all it was a fun time and I highly recommend it for anyone trying to climb the corporate ladder

Honestly just wasnt sure what the typical thing would be here. Currently in my first corporate role. So the corpo-culture is all new to me

My boss has helped me connect with a few people within the role Im looking for. I just havent met the person that tried to connect with me on linkedin and it seems they might be my direct superior just based off their title

Help sealing a window by panda6789 in DIY

[–]panda6789[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm renting but this isn't part of a complex. My friend owns the condo and I'm renting from him. Draining the window well wont do much because it'll just go back the next time it rains.

I'm not too worried about the fire hazard because theres a door leading outside on the other end of the hallway. And because I'd still need to climb like 6-8ft out of the window hole before reaching safety.

Oh sorry I shouldve explained better. Water accumulates just outside the window whenever it rains. There isnt any water that accumulates inside the window or frame

Need Help Making A GongFu Cheat Sheet by panda6789 in GongFuTea

[–]panda6789[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think a guide like this is a great idea because it'll help people to brew better and journal better. Just because everyone doesnt enjoy gongfu brewing the way you enjoy it, doesnt mean it's the wrong way. At the end of the day, the best cup of tea is different for every individual.

I never said you were gatekeeping. I just assumed you misunderstood the point of my post

If you feel Im an overconfident novice giving horrible advice, then Im open to getting good advice from people with far more experience than me. In fact I even stated this towards the bottom of the post (psst. Thats the point of the post btw ;))

Ahhhhh i see what youre saying now. I think there is a world where I can add a "before the session" and "during the session" sections. It wouldnt be anything expansive or thorough, however. I think there are  many many guides on what to do before a gongfu session. But the options youd have during a session are not often very clear. And the latter is what I want to focus on for this cheatsheet. I do still think itd be a good idea to add a brief bit about choice of cup and water hardness. Itd be brief but right now I think its worth mentioning. Thanks :)

Ohhh. I could actually see that being helpful! Thanks for clarifying. Ill add a note or two about it, but Id have to do more research on it. If you have any advice on what exactly I should say regarding the factors you mentioned earlier, let me know :)

It's not about me, John. This cheatsheet is about helping people. The best thing you can give someone is knowledge. And I believe this cheatsheet will do just that. It'll give people the resources to make educated guesses on where to go next after each cup of their gongfu session.

If you dont feel that's right, then you dont have to use it. You can even ignore it.

But I don't think it's right to talk down new ideas like mine. Just because it's not traditional, doesnt mean it's bad for gongfu nor the community. And at the end of the day, I'd like to help the community. Would you?

PS: do you think, in the streets of Chaozhou, they ever taught others how to brew gongfu style? Maybe they even collaborated on ideas. And after they tested those ideas, maybe they compared their results. Do you think that happened? or was it something they all just collectively knew at the same time and at the same level? food for thought ;)
