I once told an embarrassing story on a public forum.

“Oriental Beauty” is an English name for a tea blend for English people. CHECKMATE! :D

What? Even for green, yellow, and white tea?

Or you can go for Liubao which doesn’t get bitter no matter how strong you make it or how long you boil it. Or there’s Hunan’s Anhua Gold Flower Black Tea that’s like a pu’er with more umami in the aftertaste.

Coffee: Like I take my men: strong, black, and hot. (OK, OK, I know, old joke. Strong, hot, no milk, no sugar.) Tea: strong, hot, no milk, no sugar.

I also rarely, if ever, drink mass-market versions of either; essentially only if I’m forced to. I get my coffees and teas directly from estates and sometimes individual farms when I can wrangle it.

I’m hammering out a set of solo RP oracles for actual publication. The first two (of four) are completed as of today.

The 50 came from a heat wave here in Wuhan. (It routinely goes to 45 here, so 50 is a hot day surrounded by pavement in the sun.)

The -50 came from living in the high arctic. One day only, ever. But -40 was pretty normal.

And in the context of pools, “0.5” is a thing if it really bugs you.

“The Weather” is rarely below -17C and rarely above 37C: 0F to 100F

Tell me you’ve lived in very narrow portions of the world.

While obviously I’ve never hit 100°C in weather, I have hit 50.

In both directions from 0.

Brush my teeth. Change. Lie down. Say goodnight to SO. Read a book until my eyes start closing (or one hour, whichever comes first). Put book to one side. Put on my eyeshades. Sleep.

Why do you have to “deal with him forever”?

I’d start by questioning my assumptions were I in your shoes.

Yes. 20-21 is a good temperature range for sleep.

Simple conversion system:

• proper temperatures to American moon units: https://duckduckgo.com/?t=ffab&q=25C+in+F
• American moon units to proper temperatures: https://duckduckgo.com/?t=ffab&q=77F+in+C

Either copy the URL and change the temperature (25C or 77F) to your target, or click on the URL and change the input field.

Whatever temperature the outside air is except in the summer when it gets obnoxiously hot and humid, at which point I put a cap of 25°C on the temperature.

So last night it started around 24° at nightfall and fell to 21° in the wee hours.

Same thing I do every Sunday. A few chores and, sunlight permitting, maybe some photos for photo essays.

I gave you an example of a possible model.

READ A BOOK BEFORE OPENING YOUR MOUTH AND SPEWING DRIVEL.

I’m not here to give you an Education 101 course. (Frankly, given your performance here thus far, I’m not even certain you could understand the contents of such a course.)

And if “throw everything way but this one thing” isn’t “one size fits all” what is it!? You’re literally saying "everything being done now is wrong and we should do this ONE THING for everyone. That’s practically the definition of “one size fits all”!

I get it. You’re a techie and have been trained by techie culture to think (or at least pretend) you’re the smartest person in the room. But to first causally dismiss literally decades of research to then propose a “solution” that is risible on the face of it goes well past typical techie arrogance and into Elon Musk territory.

Part of it was. Part of it was me running it past someone I know who studies Old English. :D

I’m sorry you’re both colourblind and innumerate. It must be tough going through life with both those conditions!

I have no idea what you’re talking about. Throne room? Emperor with Luke and Vader? Jabba part?

RotJ?

Are you trying to push that silly 4chan conspiracy theory that there were movies after The Empire Strikes Back?

Look, I get it. Everybody wanted to see how things would turn out after the downer ending of Empire, but it just didn’t happen. You don’t have to hallucinate a hundred more movies like some kind of prehistoric LLM!

And it shows in your death rate.
