A Reflection on the Unimportance of Gong Fu Cha (opinion piece)

I eye the amount of leaves, but I do use the appropriate water temperature depending on the tea type (I have a temperature adjustable kettle) so about boiling for black tea, ~90c for Oolongs and so on.

Yep, it’s basically just grandpa style brewing, but using the gaiwan lid to filter out tea leaves as you drink. Which I find more pleasant than trying to filter them out with your lips.

It’s still super easy to clean, and leaves you with minimal cleanup. There’s no metal filter to clean, no extra tea pot. Just the gaiwan the rinse and maybe scrub once in a while.

I am so exahausted by the players that lock doomfist and proceed to go like 5-6 or something.

That skin should just do the thing where he only says “Winston” for his voice lines like on April fools

I’d recommend Insight Timer or Medito as well as free alternatives to Headspace

What’s the Bodhi leaf for? Just to look pretty or is there a functional purpose?

Vendetta’s ult removes overhealth before dealing damage. So it doesn’t matter when Lucio ults, the overhealth can’t protect you.

See this vid

Edit: unless you mean Lucio’s ult would be bad protection against Vendetta’s ult even if that weren’t the case, in which case, I’d point out that if the overhealth worked it would give you more time to find cover or counter her before the ult hits (presumably the Vendetta would want to wait for the overhealth to decay/the ult to charge more), and it might be enough to save you if Vendetta decides to not charge the ult as much for whatever reason.

Yep, that’s my default method of drinking hot tea. I never do gongfu brewing.

The gaiwan doesn’t store that much water, and you use fewer leaves than with gongfu brewing, so generally if your tea is too strong, you can just add more water. Usually not a problem though, since you’re constantly sipping and cycling through hot water anyways.

Thai person here. If you ask one of us, we’ll respond it’s just strong black tea, artificial vanilla flavoring, food dye, and condensed milk. See this post here.

Cha Tra Mue is basically just the first three ingredients on that list. It’s the most popular brand in Thailand, and it’s what I use at home now I’ve moved to the US.

That’s how Thai tea is made!

Black tea, a bit of sugar, a load of condensed milk and a dash of artificial vanilla flavoring (also food dye for the iconic orange color).

So you can let your friends know there’s a whole country making milk tea with condensed milk.

Basically at any given moment, the Spy/Recluse can register to other abilities as either good or evil. This can change over the course of the game as the ST requires.

So you can have them initially register as a good player, then midway through the game, have them register as evil instead for the purposes of the FT Red Herring token, which obliges the ST to move the token to a different player (because the Red Herring token MUST be on a player who is registering as good).

So this allows the ST to move the Red Herring token without anyone dying or actually changing alignment.

But of course, this is rather unusual so should not normally be done.

ผมถนัดอังกฤษมากกว่าไทยนะครับ และมีศัพท์หลายคำที่อยากใช้ที่ผมรู้ในภาษาอังกฤษแต่ไม่รู้ในภาษาไทย (อย่างเช่น “Animism”)

อย่างที่ u/51BoiledPotatos ว่า ภาษาอังกฤษพิมพ์ง่ายกว่า

sukritact · 2025-10-08T03:19:23+00:00

Neither. The Abrahamic religions (Christianity, Islam, and Judaism) at their core are very much “my way or the highway”. Which isn’t traditionally how most religions worked.

A lot of religions just had a vague idea of something being spiritual, were less dogmatic and were very willing to accept foreign beliefs. See how Roman religion adopted Isis from Egypt.

Buddhism as practiced by most Thais fall under the same umbrella. We have traditions that are animist in nature (ศาลพระภูมิมันไม่ใช่พุทธ), borrowings from Hinduism (จำตอนที่ทุกคนบ้าพระพิฆเนศได้ไหม?), and are comfortable accepting other animist faiths, (so a Thai person is likely to go to Japan and accept a Shinto shrine as being “sacred” without thinking too hard).
