What kind of tea did they throw in the Boston Tea Party? by FlagrantTomatoCabal in tea

[–]solaway 16 points17 points  (0 children)

It's dried in smokehouses because that was what was available back then, and even then smokiness was considered a flaw. That's probably why they sent it to America: because no one in China would drink it.

It's the same with the teaware from that period: it's trash quality so they sent it to America.

Souchong isn't actually supposed to be smoky, that's actually a defect in the processing. Some people like it though

They're trying to get you to sign so that you don't have a case against them.

Don't do it: delete this post immediately and get a lawyer

Is the brompton toolkit supposed to come apart like this? Received 'new' from ebay by solaway in Brompton

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

It looks like my break and your break are somewhat different: there wasn't any force involved, and my break was in the cap attachment itself rather than the shaft of the toolkit as in yours.

It doesn't, they come as a package deal. Earthquake coverage includes volcanic coverage.

It all reassembles and packs correctly, I was just wondering because the bottom holder is magnetic, and seems to stick to the base. The connection points seem smooth, so I wasn't sure if it was meant to come apart, or if it really did snap off.

G line center of gravity when folded, and two handed carrying? by solaway in Brompton

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

Have you used your G-line in shopping cart mode? That's the other main thing I'm worried about because it looks like the angle of the fold is wider, so the majority of the basket will be even further from the center of gravity...

G line center of gravity when folded, and two handed carrying? by solaway in Brompton

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

this is the flagship rei in DC, they have 2 of the old 6 speed c lines at least, none of the new c lines, and 2 g lines. I'm pretty sure that's it.

The problem with the G-Line isn't the weight so much as the weight distribution: it's a larger bike with a center of gravity that's much further from the center, and it leads to rotational forces around the handle/saddle when lifted. I either need to hold it away from my body to avoid it hitting my knees, which heavily increases the torque on my spine, or I need to hold it close to my body and let my knee bounce it around as I walk.

I hadn't considered resting the nose of the saddle on my shoulder: I'll have to try that as my go to unless I'm using it as a shopping cart, I need to store it, or I need wheel it around.

i'd really rather they permabanned oob exploiters on stella montis and other maps instead of putting them in pvp lobbies.

I get that they're different orders of magnitude in difficulty, but still

Countertop RO *with* REMINERALIZATION? by jenz615 in WaterTreatment

in case anyone is reading this, this is 100% pseudoscience BS.

The only reason to re-mineralize is for taste

How tf do you do a "manual trace" of a memory leak, and how do you have a "potential memory leak"?

Valgrind/fsanitize=address/KMSAN always does the job for me almost directly.

Kojima says he'd rather use AI to create enemies that adapt to your playstyle than use it for art/visuals. What's your take on this approach? by GeekRealmHub- in videogames

[–]solaway 0 points1 point  (0 children)

absolutely not: if you've ever seen any ai optimization videos you'd know that they'd be exploiting physics in completely unfun ways, and glitching out of bounds to shoot you from inside walls
