@pamela i cold brew regular teabags (mostly herbal, bc caffeine) all the time w/no issue tho it does take a while (overnight to 24 hrs, depending)

So I’d guess probably finer grind so it brews faster, plus maybe some soluble flavoring agents sprayed on top for extra speed

@pamela kinda hilarious that it ends with the asked explaining how her sister doesnt talk to her anymore and then the question is «How can we get her to understand that she should perhaps find another set of friends whose lives and interests align more closely with hers?» something the sister is clearly already working on

@platypus i think theres a bit of an overton window issue where for so long the convos around walkabity have been like “hello i would like to be able to get from point a to point v without being hit by a car” that we’ve gotten really bad at considering walkability factors past that absolute bare minimum

anyway yes agreed! we need more trees and other plants on streets, and also ample (and equitable!) access to nice trails

@pamela my experience with UK food is that they have a very minimal concept of a hot green pepper that pickles well, but if they did they’d use the bastardized version of whatever it’s called in Indian cooking to refer to it

@ziphi @Anke @irina yeah me and most of the people i follow also i guess 😂

@sysadmin1138@octodon.social @inametaphor ah yes the coffee shop vibe, much more easily achieved by people who are into that by, say, letting them work remotely from a coffee shop if they wish

@yesterdaychild @Betty yeah that seems uhhh p heavily au

@aschmitz this is a nonprofit who’s proceeds from the bookstore go to supporting people with AIDS, which really adds a layer to the ‘is this thinly veiled sex work or a joke’ aspect

what.
