babelcarp, to tea

We went out for a long walk this afternoon. Before that I’d done a couple of nice mellow gongfu steeps of some adolescent Fuding white tea, so I dumped the leaves into the tea jar and poured in boiling water before we set out.

By the time I took the first sip maybe a half hour later, the liquor was like some overboiled vegetable, not really drinkable. Should’ve stuck with short steeps!

@babelcarp @tea Interesting this works with white tea. Wonder what it's like overnight (if I wanted to prepare this ahead of time).

Enjoying some Oolong tea from Taiwan. Gang Kou Cha, 港口茶 – something about the sea? In German, it's named "Meer Oolong". Babelcarp to the rescue: https://babelcarp.org/babelcarp/junk.cgi?phrase=%E6%B8%AF%E5%8F%A3%E8%8C%B6 → "literally Harbor Tea: a lightly-oxidized Pingtung oolong, traditionally rolled and dried in the same wok, with appearance similar to meicha"
I like it! @tea

@babelcarp @alex @tea did somebody mention Boston Harbor tea?

Back of tea canister reads: Colonial Bohea Brewing Tips: 195F for 5 minutes Bohea (pronounced “Boo-Hee”) is a distinctive black tea blend with a light smoky flavor. It was so popular in colonial times that bohea became the common word for tea. It was imported in larger quantities than all other teas combine, and it was the majority of tea destroyed during tea tax protests in revolutionary America.

Sven, to cooking

Today I learned: There's a current scientific best practice to cook rice when it comes to the endpoints “removal of pollutants” and “preserving nutrients/minerals”.

TL;DR: Cook rice with excess water (ratio about 1:4) for about five minutes, drain and discard the water, add fresh water (typical ratio for full absorption), bring to a boil and cool for the remaining time.

Apparently, this is more effective than washing and soaking. Method works for brown and white rice.

@Sven if you don't rinse it at all then you retain all the added nutrients though. What country are you buying your rice from that is has so much inorganic arsenic in it?

@nixCraft yeah but the top two do nothing useful while the bottom one has been running your Hospital's infrastructure for decades.

This patch fixes typos. Four year old girl submitted it with help from her Aunt.

@nixCraft in other news, developer submits patch as 4-year-old girl in the hopes of getting authorship on the kernel. 😉​

@drewtoothpaste posts a link to someone feeling unwelcome, being scolded, and getting lectured and is immediately scolded, lectured, and left unwelcome by the thread comments.

@drewtoothpaste my 2023 conspiracy is Shaw's wants Vermonters to suffer more by trapping them on premises a minute longer than already necessary.

this looks like i made it up but it's the time zone map for australia. yes, time zones should be divided by longitude, not latitude, but australia has done both, in the most annoying way possible (by adding half hours)

@drewtoothpaste this is why I only use UTC then show up 5 hours early to everything.
