A whole lump of sugar for a cup that small? Sorry friend, you are not drinking tea anymore
I don’t know much about tea culture. I rarely drink tea actually. I’m a coffee drinker (strong black coffee without sugar).
Sugar in tea is quite uncommon in Asia.
Now tea in Morocco comes with mint and a lot of sugar
My interest in microtonality comes from the hearing of Arabic and Turkish music. That sort of quarter-tone is fascinating for me. I definitely hear something “different” but I can’t really recognise it. I built myself a sort of a saz, a Turkish stringed instrument with mobile keys just to experiment with those quarter-tones and try to understand them better.
I’m trying to train my ear, but I’m still far from the expected result.
I’m not really interested in 17, 19, 51 EDO or whatever. I think it’s far beyond my capabilities. The first part of Mike Battaglia 's performance was the most satisfying for me because it reminds me both blues and Arabic music.
Probably people here will be interested in this and have comments or even point out mistakes in this video
Kinda sad there was no mention of thorn at all in the thee/thou/you discussion.
Nice feature. I drink East Frisian tea every day. Although without sugar and with milk instead of cream. That’s of course far from the proper ceremony, but better for the health in the long run. sip
3 cups per sitting, I hope
A thermos jug a day. I use a mug in the office.
I remember this. It’s from 11 years ago!
Before the AI age.
The logic behind the board is insane!
I cringed. I hope she’s okay. I saw it coming, as she ran right on top of a long ice slick. Back in my running days, we worked out in a gentle snow storm several times, but got back before it accumulated much. You can’t do it safely in more than a couple inches. Your shoes get soaked and your feet will freeze. Also, here in the mid-Atlantic states, some of the snow often melts during the day and freezes over night, so we get ice under the snow. Dangerous to run in when that happens.
I thought Baarle-Nassau / Baarle-Hertog was the only weird border situation of the Netherlands, but today I learned about Kerkrade / Herzogenrath
Kudos for the narrator’s pronunciation of German and Dutch (although his Dutch pronunciation occasionally has a hint of a German accent).
