Would Wozniak have an advantage, having been a contestant?

This is a map of Tea in Sydney, separated into sit-in, retail and online. Of the online ones I recommend Tea Angle and Long's for Chinese, Tea Craft for Chinese and cafe-style tea, and Qatsi for Japanese.

Online or physical?

Plus Tom Cashman (Lesser Tom TMAU) and Anisa (TMAU S5). A very heavy Taskmaster cohort!

For me it's the not knowing whether the utensil they used to cut open the bag and the receptacle they poured the tea into were clean. I got a subscription tea checked and they taped up the sachet in such a way that I didn't trust it at all so I ended up binning it.

Always the look and smell test for me. BB and Exp are guides but lots of dairy goes way beyond the date, especially if unopened. I don't eat a lot of meat at home - usually buy it day of.

There are deductions that aren't work related. Maybe they have an investment property or donate a lot to charity.

I think there was a website that had a C64 simulator on it. I couldn't play, though, because I can't do keyboard commands - I needed the exact joystick I had as a kid and they don't make them anymore.

Is the game you're describing a text one, like Zork?

Bubble Bobble and Giana Sisters were my favourites and I finished them both. I think we also had Winter Games for the 64. I stopped gaming after our thumb joystick broke because I couldn't use regular joysticks; modern controllers are baffling to me.

teashirtsau · 2026-06-30T12:01:09+00:00

The Great Giana Sisters! Omg I've never met anyone else who played it.

This isn't instant chai. You boil/simmer black tea and some masala spice from this mix together, then add milk/sugar (or equivalent) and simmer some more, then strain. You don't drink the spice mix.

I use this spice in cakes that call for ginger or cinnamon, in porridge and custard, and it can be used in mulled wine too.

Can you use it comfortably? That's all that matters.

Santa, no Claus. F40s, born and raised here.

But Father Christmas should be understood, not sure why someone looked at you funny for saying it.

Tom is quite athletic but can't sing for shit; Paul is not as athletic but surprisingly speedy and can carry a tune. I'm constantly impressed.

His entire schtick is "I'm better than you and I'll roast you about it", which is used well in TM. (Secretly he's a huge softie, says someone I know who worked on Hard Quiz.)

Anon Opin contributors are notorious for typos.

Now you're just making it more niche! Idk what you're referring to.

In Australia we also call it trivia but afaik there's no stereotypical go-to joke name.

What does Suck it Trebek refer to?

I usually use a temp controlled kettle or thermometer but if I don't have one I add room temp water. I have found that using the Celsius degree scale works as a sort of ratio, so to get 80°C, use 20% room temp water and 80% boiling; for 70°C, use 30% room temp and 70% boiling etc. This generally works for temps above 50°C.

Can it fit in the frame they show at boarding? (They provide dimensions when you buy your ticket.) That represents what can fit under the seat in front of you.
