You’re right, it’s wrong, but not that wrong. Several sources indicate the majority of Ilex species occur in South America and Asia, so that was probably what they meant to say. Ilex paraguariensis is limited to Brazil, Paraguay, Urugua

Having looked at multiple articles before posting this one, your point is definitely a major advantage mentioned consistently. The technique of adding water repeatedly is how I’ve always done oolong tea and gotten a very similar experience.

I remember trying the Guayaki brand canned version that was lightly sweetened and really liking that, but they don’t seem to offer it any longer. Odd. Definitely try various levels and types of sweetener, as others have suggested, and I’ll

That’s a tidy list. Thanks. NO2 boost? ;) Do trucks have additional tasks?

I’ve had conversations cut off by the site when there’s too much back-and-forth between me and one other person. Is that still in force?

Agree. It’s hard to have a conversation here, but I don’t know exactly why. I suggested once that if usernames were just bolder it would make a difference. Avatars seem like fluff, but I think they really do make it easier to spot a familia

Right, tactile was the word I should have used.

This is an 80/20 problem if there ever was one, maybe even 95/5. In my car I really want the audio volume, heater fan speed, and wiper control to be tactile. But beyond that, I can probably deal, and even the heater fan speed migh

You want bad software/UI? Flash triggers. OMFG. I have one flash. M on the screen means two opposite things in two different places. Etc.

Autonomous (Annalee Newitz, 2017) has a military robot character that uses part of a human brain for functions like face and emotion recognition. As a technical device it’s a smart use of capabilities; as a fictional device it’s a bit fac

Hm. One nearly every day. Some kind of journaling regimen or creative writing exercise? It's actually an interesting question if it had asked what adjustments people have made. I literally yesterday bought a 100g £10 keyboard to see if

Wouldn’t the astronauts on the moon missions have seen this? Surely they orbited a few times before landing. Maybe they were closer in. I suppose an earthrise/set viewed from the surface doesn’t count.

All this plumbing talk got me remembering the time I redid a bunch of the copper in a fixer-upper. Reading up on solder joints, I got into the underlying metallurgy, and discovered solder isn’t “glue”. You have to abrade it to remove the ox

An election and a referendum are two vastly different things. The results of an election are for one cycle, whereas referenda are (ostensibly) permanent. Cameron set both thresholds at 50%, but something like 60% would have been more approp

So read the article. It’s way better supported than this one. I’ll be interested in your reactions and happy to engage in a conversation. See you later?

Wild guess… Schopenhauer, Einstein, et al, were referring to their peers and associates, many sigmas out on the curve. I’m imagining a sensor of the larger sample reaching the “reading limit”; it would make a neutrino detector look like fir
