I went downstairs, filled the kettle, waited for it boil, and poured the water into my mug.
I then popped back upstairs for 5 minutes to let it brew. Went back down to the kitchen, gave it a stir. "Hmm this looks a bit weak".
I'd only forgotten to put a bloody tea bag in the mug at the start of the exercise, hadn't I.
Obviously I have now contacted the government and arranged to hand in my British passport.

Wow, my (former) regular Seattle tea shop guy not only still works there, he remembered us. I used to put my (now 13yo) kid on the counter while I ordered, and the guy would sometimes give him a free cookie.
@… That’s so cool. Enjoy your tea!

So, this Golf GTE has a pretty big battery for a #PHEV of around 20kWh. Genuinely amazed it has done 82 miles on only electric driving to get me from King’s Lynn to the National Trust place at Clumber Park for a recharge and a cup of tea. Still had 8% left.
Given I charged it for free at Tesco, I can’t complain!
Iced tea - that is, cold tea, not some sweet schlock in a can or powder containing who knows what mixed with water - is why summer exists.

Yikes, 2nd dump of breached Tea data reported by @….
A few useful thoughts that crossed my TL re the first breach:
- Many posts blame “vibe coding,” but unclear gen AI is to blame here?? At least some of the app/data appears to predate. We need the firsthand inside scoop on dev process.
- Firebase’s security model is a booby trap (still, alas)

"The Democratic Party is ripe for a takeover"
Yup, I am also disgusted with the D-party. The "leadership" is so out-of-touch, so cowardly, and so into tunnel-vision vote-losing "identity" issues that unless there is a root-to-branch change, the D-party will never again win a national election, and will lose more state elections.
(I would add that those identity-politics issues are quite important, but until the D-party wins some elections little to …

#EroticMusings Week 11 (August 10-16) Setting
How much does the weather feature in your work? Does it lead to (or hinder) erotic interactions?
Weather shapes the daily life a lot - Sorlys, the capital of Syrlain where currently everything takes place, is a seaside town with mediterrean to subtropic weather. Many take a nap between lunch and afternoon tea, simply as its too hot …
Couldn't have coffee for years due to a health thing. Discovered the wonderful world of loose leaf tea as an alternative. Tried everything to replace coffee with tea, it was just not the same. But found joy in all these new black teas I was trying.
Got health thing fixed and tried to return to coffee. Oh no, coffee tastes like cigarettes and skunk water now.
What have I done?
Today, cherry oat muffins, egg bacon tea coffee. More fringe tonight, and then a wild ride culminating in a week away for work starting Sunday. #TogetherBreakfast https://photos.app.goo.gl/TTToGZHVGkidU3MJ8

A clear sunny Winter solstice day, so why not Chicken katsu udon soup with roasted rice tea for lunch at Tokyo Canteen in Kingston?
The soup had citrus-pickled vegetables in it (daikon, carrot, cauliflower and Brussels sprouts) - which was a pleasant surprise (I just expected dashi or miso or something).

Currently taking a break from the neverending volleyballoon game in the lounge room. Wee grandson has his da and grandda conscripted while I am secreted in the laundry waiting for the washing machine to complete its cycle in... 2 minutes now. Hope everyone is having a lovely Sunday. I stayed in bed until 9am! Had 2 cups of tea. Then I resignedly got up, got dressed, and officially started the day.

Podcast: The Tea Hack Just Keeps Getting Worse https://www.404media.co/podcast-the-tea-hack-just-keeps-getting-worse/
This is a dangerous level of squinting at tea leaves, so •serious• grain of salt here, but:
The sudden re-plunge of Tesla’s stock price during this Musk / Trump spat suggests that maybe, maybe its utterly wild overvaluation had nothing to do with Tesla’s products, or its market position, or Musk’s phony brilliance, or even (the usual explanation) with investors getting hyped about a self-driving car future and magical robots.
Maybe it was investors expecting the company to be the beneficiary of kleptocratic pillaging of the US Federal budget. Which — unlike all the other explanations — would not be an irrational expectation.
