Massive data breach

I did run a check on my password manager to see if any of mine were hits for leaked passwords and i seem to be safe/unaffected. I will try again later just in case.
that’s a big ol’ nope.
have you ever tasted that stuff? nasty!
not sure what i’ll do when my cafecito becomes too expensive to maintain my habit, but yerba maté ain’t it!
I tried some yaupon tea being offered at a farmer’s market. It was mixed with various fruit juices. Definitely bitter with some heavy earthy tones, but not undrinkable.
I have not tried it but considering its a native plant that produces caffeine there is opportunity to use it to lower the carbon footprint of coffee production for applications that doesn’t need coffee itself. I’m also not looking to change out my coffee with something else but i’m all for more responsible food sourcing, especially those that use native plants 
In a couple of years you’ll be able to get a brain implant and then can choose via an app just whatever anything you ingest tastes like.
This will be the marketing pitch anyway.
In practice, you’ll be lucky if it works half as well as a Nutrimatic drinks dispenser, inducing the sensation of drinking a cup of something that tastes almost, but not quite, entirely unlike tea.
Same here. Yaupon is definitely an acquired taste.
I feel like coffee and tea are also acquired tastes, though. I bet if yaupon tea is mixed with some complimentary flavors (like milk is for coffee), it could be tasty.
The almost stevia-like sweetness was a bit off-putting for me. I don’t much care for stevia. Then again- the tea I tried could have had stevia added.
True that.
It could be? It’s been a while since I’ve had it. It was part of a tea bundle someone got me as a present. I also remember a chickory root tea that was interesting but not unpleasant.
(Edit: chickory, not chickpea root, though that would have a unique taste as well…. Stupid autocorrect…)
There are times when the “thing” in the “crib” must be killed.
Didn’t fall from a window. Interesting.
I haven’t tried it but knowing its bitter from descriptions here i would guess yours might’ve had some kind of sweetener added. And same, i hate the taste of artificial sweeteners and of stevia.
I don’t think there’s a “movie/tv show” news thread, i’ll put this here for now
Delta is engineering inequality.
“Early research on personalized pricing isn’t favorable for the consumer. Consumer Watchdog found that the best deals were offered to the wealthiest customers–with the worst deals given to the poorest people, who are least likely to have other options.”
interesting that the article does not mention rapidly disappearing glaciers taking mass gigatons of weight off the landmass - enough to cause a rebound effect that would most certainly cause tectonic shifts of seismic proportion.
of course, IANAG(eologist), but if the earth’s crust is floating on top of the mantel like a bunch of slow-motion bumber boats, then the big, fat elephant suddenly leaving one boat to slip into another, might cause some sort of movement among the surrounding tectonic “boats”. bumping ensues.
but go ahead and tell me - a simple Keybilly - how this all has nothing to do with a warming planet shifting its weight around. WTF do i know for nuthin’?
Oh, that’s a good point and something I had not considered. I wonder what geologists are thinking about… obviously we know that things like drilling for oil and fracking for natural gas can cause issues, so why not melting glaciers…
And that has also been posited as a possible contributor to the Earth spinning faster.
