Sometimes life's just like that. Sometimes you lose half a chip because you miscalculate how thick the cheese sauce is. Sometimes you spend $44bil on a website and lose 90% of your staff in a week. Happens.

Once again, I went out of my way to take a picture of a tea but didn't post anything. This is the 100 taels hei cha from Tea Source. It's the cross section of what basically is a compressed pillar of tea that gets wrapped in woven bamboo. There are some small individual ones you can get and there are bigger ones the size of logs. I was worried I was going to need to use a band saw to make portions, but thankfully this one isn't too dense for my tea knife. This one tastes like...walnuts. Yum.

@cactus @merricat I know exactly what you mean, but thankfully I waited to get too loud online until I started having better opinions. Lol. There's some remnants under a different handle, but it's pretty disconnected from everything I do now. Luckily I never really had too much of an outward toxic streak, just terrible opinions. Secretly why I'm decent at debating is because once upon a time I just ignored facts and had to survive convos in spite of that.

@merricat @cactus True, things can always become obsolete in unpredictable ways. I mean, not that people didn't expect CDs from becoming obsolete, but, but you know what I mean. Now I'm imagining a different kind of digital immortality. Imagine uploading your consciousness or something in a format or language that just ends up extinct. Imagine if you picked the Zune of backing up your actual brain.

@cactus I feel like I'll be more prone to having this happen just by the sheer amount of things I say and how often I talk about things I am no expert in. At least you usually know what you're talking about.

However, I know I'll forever think about the other week when I asked if you've ever considered being screened for ADHD after interrupting yourself commiserating with me about one of the most common symptoms.

I've never considered this, but now I have.

@nasa Thanks, now I have the King Gizzard song "Kepler-22b" stuck in my head.

I forgot to post this tea! I tried this one a few days ago. 2013 KuZaZa. It's a loose ripe puerh tea. Pretty typical of a fermented tea in that it smells a lot like straw, old hay and soil. I guess some call it "barnyardy," but I feel like that just sounds too unappealing for something that is so enjoyable. One of the most distinct things about this tea type is a complete lack of astringency and it's hydrating benefits, so it's great for when your stomach is upset, empty or you're just hungover.

Genmaicha really is a perfect tea for this snowy, damp weather when you just want to get cozy but also want green tea. The smell of that toasted rice is like being wrapped up in a blanket. Always a type of tea I underestimate, but when I have it I'm left wondering why I don't drink it every day. #tea #genmaicha #greentea

Here's the Karigane I ordered. It's excellent, considering the price. Sometimes Karigane feels like a sin to drink because it's so rich and packs a huge punch since it's, well, it's basically the industrial waste of gyokuro production. The stems, scraggly bits of leaves and veins of a renounced type of fine tea and retains much of the charm. Umami and sweet in a vegetal grassy way, and very powerful, so it may become my morning routine again. #tea #karigane #shiraore
