Have you tried loose leaf green tea? Fermented and aged tea like pu'er has very complex flavors. The caffeine content can be quite low so its safe to drink in the evening. Found it to be even more fun and interesting than tasting e.g. wine.

This looks great! I teach a Blender class and would love to try this with my students in the fall semester. I see much potential in using this in education.

I'm quite interested in the academic research aspect, especially since our computational geometry group uses or plans on using Blender. However, I'm unclear about the details of this announcement. Is it related to funding opportunities or suggesting experimental features?

So, your point is: "things are already bad now, no harm in making it worse"?

Can you please point to a source where it says that 'lead is an essential nutrient'? Or a source to any of your other extraordinary claims?

Well, I am judging this at least a little: Why is the first reaction of this passenger to make a video of herself? Makes me wonder if there ever was an accident where first aid was delayed because somebody had to make a video first....

what search engine/service do I need to use to find public toilets on OSM? I tested it with public toilets but was only able to find one 'dog toilet' within city limits...
