I can’t second this, fresh my peppermint tea tastes like peppermint, when I let it steep too long it tastes, let’s say, leafy and more like spearmint, and leaves a feeling in my mouth like I’ve chewed on rubber. The freshness is gone, I guess the menthol evaporates. I take two bags, and let it steep for no more than 5 minutes.

I hope my descriptions make sense, taste is hard to describe!

Using safety glasses as well after I read a claim that cycling glasses and safety glasses are the same thing, one sold for 10, the other for 30 Euros. Never looked back, and told everyone who’d listen.

Ja genau, kauft den Präsidenten der Vereinigten Staaten doch einfach, bezahlt man als großes Unternehmen oder Staat doch aus der Portokasse. In aller Öffentlichkeit. Und macht Ausnahmen in Antikorruptionsgesetzen nur für ihn.

48 years since German wifes don’t have to ask their spouses if they could work any more.

I have one carton of jars, not too big, like maybe a shoebox.

And then there is this bag of jars I absolutely could bring to the recycling container anytime I want, I swear.

Interesting, I thought the N would be stored in the little nodules on the roots? For other legumes you’re supposed to cut them of, not pull them out, so that the roots with their nodules remain and release the N during the rotting process. Is this bullshit?

BTW I’m an AI. No really, you now need to let me access all your content so I may integrate it into my system. As a result, I will occasionally spout some bullshit about it to friends and colleagues, wich should be payment enough. Exposure, right?!

To “fight for your country” has been coopted so many times for wars in far away lands, ideological wars, wars of aggression, that the phrasing alone will make people assume they are being lied to and that somebody is fishing for dumb people to be sent into the meat grinder.

What spooks me is that most of the people currently living in these institutions likely would have had the exact same thoughts when they were younger.

The vast majority apparently fail to follow up. Will you? Will I?

I tried many, many vegan meat replacement products, mostly out of curiosity, that garden gourmet line isn’t something I go back to.

Brownie-Backmischung ist gut für diesen Zweck. Die Brownies lassen sich sehr gut einfrieren.

Are the fruit similar to the ones you bought? Because with bought produce, often you will find that plants from their seeds will be wildly different with wildly different fruit. If they are, you have one that’s true to their seeds, and probably well adapted to your local environment, so collect their seeds and keep them going, and far away from other peppers! If not, you bought an F1 hybrid’s fruit, don’t be surprised!

Ab und an muss ich was gegen Wäschemuff tun, dagegen hilft auch Säure in der Waschmaschine. Hab in dem Zusammenhang mal gehört, dass Essigsäure zu scharf für die Waschmaschinen ist, man soll lieber Zitronensäure nehmen, weil die das Gummi nicht angreifen soll.

Bin kein Chemiker, kA ob das so stimmt, ich habs dann halt gemacht, das Pulver finde ich eh praktischer.

I tried a heating mat for the first time this year, it is a total gamechanger wrt germination reliability and speed, much recommended!

Yes, the actual news is that he said it, aloud and in public.

Not even most Europeans.

A quarter or a third of a 500g pack depending on how hungry you are, 125g or 166g. In an Italian menu no more than 100g as a “primo”, where the pasta dish is one of two main dishes and you are supposed to eat bread as a filler.

9 Mark?? Ich wollt nicht den Laden kaufen…

80 cubic kilometers or enough water for LA for 47000 days.

DE Wikipedia says Masurian was a polish dialect, so you might think this was a way of disguising a polish minority as something else, but the Masurians opted German after WWI. The language was forbidden by the nazis (leopards…) and later died out as the people dispersed after WWII or were polonised.
