It's almost as if CCP went six months without making any balance changes, and there's simply not much to talk about. I mean, what's happened in the last month?

* CCP made as few promises as possible at Eve Vegas
* Everyone's training for Rorquals for November
* We dropped another keepstar that is extremely unlikely to ever die, or even get attacked, before the servers shut down
* PL and their band of betas are trying to stave off ennui by beating up on CO2 and TEST, which is funny but mostly predictable

Speaking of food, during one of my two trips out of my hotel room during Eve Vegas, I took enough pseudoephedrine to kill a horse and went to Robuchon in the MGM, since I had gotten reservations for it months in advance and didn't want to waste it. Holy gently caress, that is amazing food. It was a four-digit bill for one person, so I'm not sure if I'll be back any time this decade, but it was legit worth it as a once-in-a-life experience -- it made me actually grok the point and purpose of small dishes in haute cuisine.

Not 35% fat, 2 parts coffee 1 part milk roughly, which is too much unless you're drinking espresso or really just want your coffee to taste like lattes

Is it the whole low carb high fat thing?

I knew a girl who was on that and she supposedly needed to replace her milk with 40% cream for all uses she could manage it. Also put butter on cheese slices, roll them up and eat them :barf:

18-course meal at a triple Michelin starred restaurant. Food alone was $400/head before tax/tip. Add one of their middle-priced wine pairings and a finger of post-meal scotch, and it's easy.

Could have been a lot worse if I had gone for a more expensive wine pairing.

I want to like tea but I'm of the soda generation. I just expect a lot more flavour out of my boiled fruit water.

I can't imagine people drinking regular tea without anything added. I like milk and honey in my tea but then I can hardly take credit for being a tea connoisseur at that point.

You should try Jasmine Tea after a stressful day. It's not got the sweetest taste but the smell and the clarity of watching the leaves open up is very soothing!

There is this cool tea shop not far from me where one side is lots of tea making equipments. The middle is three tables, one table with leaves in bowls so you can smell them, one taster table and the register table. The other side is just boxes and boxes of all 130 teas they offer.

I sometimes stand in there and smile. :)

Last time I was there, I was watching them carve out slices of a piece of chutoro that was so heavily marbled, it could be mistaken for beef. Started drooling at the table.

Black coffee can be good if you're not overextracting it. Coffee should be faintly citrusy sour, leafy, nutty, fatty without being oily. If it's bitter or if you're not getting any fruit notes, then you hosed up and overextracted -- either you're grinding too finely, or you're pouring too quickly, or both.
