Ancient FAQ from 2012:
https://pastebin.com/hw8XXZV5
- Stop using teabags.
- Do not buy tea from Teavana.
- If you you are using teabags, stop leaving it in the cup after you're done steeping.
- STOP USING TEABAGS.
- Start buying loose leaf or cakes.
- The optimal brewing temperature highly depends on the tea. Most puer and oolong are good at boiling whereas most green tea need around 80-85 degrees celsius. Lurk more.
- Start brewing gonfu, even just to try it. You can do it with a spare cup. No excuses. You won't want to go back to western brewing when you gongfu a good tea.
- Stop being cheap and get some dirt cheap scales and timers.
- Kamjoves exist and are arguably the french press of gongfu.
Most of the world uses teabags.
Most of the world also drinks instant coffee.

I thought I would keep you company.
This is fucking carbonara in flyover land. Explain yourselves, dammit.
Uh, idk. I just make my own the proper way.
>>8948144
Well good for you. I'm sure that a lot of people in the middle of the country know how to cook a proper carbonara, but this pic was from a fucking restaurant, one with good reviews, too. (I was traveling for work, and this place was recommended to me).
Looks tasty. Would be better with a bowl of gravy.
ITT: things that instantly identify someone as a pretentious Asshat.
"Ugh, slow cookers are for fucking plebs, but sous-vide is awwww right"
"I'm a pescetarian".
"I'm lactose-intolerant, gluten-intolerant, seafood allergic and can't have anything with yeast in it".
"Veganism is the only way to live in harmony with the planet".
"i post on /ck/"
"Pretentious" is just what flyovers call people more intelligent and cultured than them.
My chinese friends, I got szechuan and where a normal restaurant would give bread this place gave cold veggies that seemed oily and had chili flakes on them. Was very good, any place I could find a recipe or steps to prepare this? Google didn't help
>>8946947
>szechuan
That's a region, not a dish. Also, China is almost as big as America.

Now tell me; why are you against GMO?
>>8945232
>Fucking corn in the picture.
That's a laugh.
Creating DRM plants that can't propagate seed to create another generation could have disastrous implications in a SHTF near-extinction event like a supervolcano or another carrington event or a meteorite strike
>why are you against GMO?
I'm not and anybody who unironically is against GMOs is mentally handicapped.
The only legitimate issue I have with GMOs is the whole "monsanto suing people because some seeds blew over into their crops" followed by the sticky issue of "okay we'll make them sterile, but now you have to keep buying our seeds".
you're not going to die but you're gonna be locked up for a while. whats the last thing you eat as a free man?

>>8943636
What's the appeal of craft beer? My hipster cousin is obsessed with them. I prefer regular beer, honestly.
