  • Out of curiosity, what do you use to transfer files between computers?

  • Adagio Mystery Box

    I ordered a mystery box from Adagio which finally came in and was surprised at what came in. I was expecting a collection of single cup samples but instead I got several of the larger bags that can make multiple cups each.

    This box contained:

    • April in Paris - .8oz
    • Blueberry Peach Gobbler Green - .5oz
    • Double Ginger Herbal - .8oz
    • Lemon Meringue Green - .5oz
    • Zodiac - aries tea - Single
    • Black Jasmine Song - Single
    • Tie Kuan Yin Black - .4oz

    Since they change what they put in the mystery box each month, I might just see how to setup a monthly auto-purchase.

    The Ten Forward Hot Take Thread
  • Also, IIRC the few times he was in command, he wasn't any good at it.

  • Keurig's new K-Rounds coffee pods are plastic-free and could finally make single-serve coffee-making sustainable
  • That's exactly what happened at my office. The moldy coffee pot stayed there for about a year before someone threw the whole thing away.

  • Life sentence
  • I love the idea of karma police. It definitely sounds like the plot for an interesting movie.

  • Priorities
  • Quest 64 really brings me back. I haven't thought about that game in a long time.

  • TikTok Ban Bill Becomes Law, Gives TikTok 9 Months To Sell
  • Just to clarify. Insider trading is illegal but it is not illegal for politicians in Congress to use the information they obtain from their jobs (such as through classified meetings) to engage in stock market trades.

  • Local Child Fails to Grasp “Yes, and” Improv Principle, Bores Playmates
  • I am a native English speaker and I don't know what "Yes, and" means either.

  • Am I the only one who's sick of the isekai?
  • When I think about what I would do if I suddenly found myself transported to another world, the last thing I would be doing is looking for a job as a mercenary. As stupid as a lot of the plot is, I really like Striving for a Luxury Liner simply because the MC recognizes that he's not cut out to be an adventurer and becomes a merchant instead.

    The only isekai I've read that properly utilized the isekai genre was Release that Witch since the MC's "cheat" is his knowledge of mechanical engineering. He kicks off his own little industrial revolution to defend his territory.

  • Am I the only one who's sick of the isekai?
  • My main critique of the genre is how lazy it's done. There's nothing wrong with having the MC reincarnated, transported, or made overpowered. One Punch Man has a massively overpowered MC but it's still really good. The problem is that they're all low effort cookie cutter stories that are just checking items off a list.

    They're also fairly unrealistic. "Gasp...is this that isekai thing I've been reading about? I guess I'll go join the Adventurer Guild and get a super dangerous job killing monsters despite the fact that I've never been in a dangerous situation before."

    There's no way all these random people will just calmly accept finding themselves in another world with no freaking out or depression setting in first.

  • Kingdom Come: Deliverance II Official Announce Trailer
  • I agree although I think I'll just skip this one.

  • Portapotty poetry
  • I'm disappointed. Poem never mentioned the guillotine.

  • This is fine...
  • The engineering problems that pop up on DS9 are actually pretty mundane when you compare it to the crazy shit that happened on the Enterprise.

    DS9: Some component broke down and needs to be fixed.

    TNG: The Enterprise becomes sentient, uses holodeck characters to represent it's various mental aspects, and gives birth to some doodad that then flys away.

  • The Fallout Bible: a collection of lore documents compiled for use in the development of the original (cancelled) Fallout 3
  • I didn't realize there would be sex scenes in it. Glad to know before I started watching. I miss the days when it was pretty safe to watch anything. I wish all these producers would realize that some people have families and that we don't need sex scenes and nudity in everything.

  • The incredible pixel-smashing game Noita got a huge free update
  • Noita is way too hard for me. I finally managed to beat the "tutorial" and that was good enough for me.

  • When a real user uses the app
  • As a programmer, I consider The User to be the enemy. No matter how thoroughly I seemingly test my code, the second the user gets their hands on it, it breaks left and right from all the crazy shit they do.

  • You crazies actually trust the Sun to be there when you need it?! Ha!
  • Plenty of time to learn how to meditate.

  • You crazies actually trust the Sun to be there when you need it?! Ha!
  • Worst case scenario you take the slow way to another planet. The only limiting factor depends on just how immortal you are. If you don't need to eat or drink, then you could travel to another planet right now with current technology.

  • Letitia James to Begin Claiming Donald Trump's Properties
  • Obama really did open the floodgates on all the racists. I guess I was really naive, but I had no idea there were so many racist everywhere.

  • Legend of Zelda
  • Majora's Mask is the best Zelda game. However, Wind Waker is my favorite Zelda game. The setting, art style, and musical score all combined perfectly to make a game that was both really fun and relaxing. No Zelda game since has ever matched the feeling of sailing to the Great Sea soundtrack.

  • Tried Lady Grey a la Creme

    I picked up some new teas from a shop while on vacation and this one was pretty good. I like teas with lavender in them but I find that it's sometimes overpowering. This one had the lavender taste without it overwhelming the other flavors.

    Edit: I tried to upload a picture but it wouldn't let me so I used a link to the one of the pictures on the site.

    I know there's a whole ethics thing revolving around the use of AI but I still find this sort of stuff to be amazing.

    Where are y'all getting your tea from?

    I've gone from getting tea bags at the grocery store to tea bags ordered online and just started getting loose leaf tea. I've been buying the bags and the loose tea from Stash but I was wondering where all of you get your tea.
