I liked all the helpful tea nerd posts. Thank you, helpful tea nerds.

I like to make a cup of tea, wander away for an hour, then drink it. I understand this is not the preferred technique.
Cold tea is the best tea anyway

The answer is, mate, because I want to do you slowly. There has to be a bit of sport in this for all of us. In the psychological battle stakes, we are stripped down and ready to go. I want to see those ashen-faced performances; I want more of them. I want to be encouraged. I want to see you squirm.

I'm not sure mate has 100% the caffeine of coffee. If that were the case the entire populations of Uruguay, Paraguay and Argentina would have died of heart failure years ago. They spend most of their waking hours sucking down liters of the stuff.

A quick google reinforces kinda what I feel I know from both drinking the stuff currently, and living 15 years in Argentina. It might not be the same caffeine content 1:1 per dry weight as coffee, nor as a prepared beverage measured in mls, but you do drink a whole lot more mate in a sitting than you do espresso. You get wired, then you get caffeine tolerant/dependent.

I love the food in them!

I've only ever been able to find crummy undersized dessicated dried scallops in the states, when I can find them at all.

Would kill for a big bag of huge golden chewy ones from my fav shop on Des Vouex Rd.

I have like 400 bucks worth of HKD I never converted back into real money and when at some point I find myself back in HK its all going to that.

What a bunch of crybabies.

quote:

Qantas has been ordered to adopt the Chinese Communist Party's view of the world and remove any material from its website that refers to Taiwan as an independent country.
The Australian airline faces the prospect of having its website blocked in what will soon be the world's largest aviation market unless it complies with the demands, which mark an acceleration of a push by China to ensure foreign companies are aligned with its flashpoint "One China" policy.

Right here.

I also remember people saying that cars wouldn't sell well in China because everyone was accustomed to biking everywhere.
