The most dangerous idea of our age (aka, the greatest conspiracy) is that we are not alone in our own minds. A secret occult power, and a secret occult society, and a secret war upon us all is American Thought Control. Imperceptible and inc

And as for “too watery”, you can always steep several bags. Don’t forget to bob it up and down for a few minutes then press all the water out with a spoon. This gives the most potent and bitter version of any steeped substance. (Also worth

Chip shortages made cheap hardware difficult to source! This may soon rebound however. I only hope there are sensible trends. There are real considerations of security and practicality to consider (does everything need a microchip?)

Yes, armed with an epiphany of “what is math, truly” (proportions of things, not numbers of things) I can produce casual estimates which are “reasonable.” Whether regarding structures, or collections of things, or intuitive understanding of
