[None]

For my roommate's sake, I need to get a coldbrew going on, since I'm usually groggily activating the coffeemaker as he's putting his boots on to go, which means he's getting hot concentrated bean drip which needs to be iced down with coffee ice cubes and I'm getting 60% coffee per coffee when the pot is done. Which takes about an hour these days; I need to treat it again.

S'just water and french press in the fridge overnight, right? Press and receive the juice?

I like black coffee for the taste.  My dad got into coffee-making for a bit but focused on espresso, which tasted interesting but was too fast.  I like to get a cup of overpriced coffee with him when I visit, sometimes.  Or a weird-ass cabeza taco from a food truck.  It's fun to go out of one's comfort zone.

I guess I do honestly enjoy coffee (black, please) but I prefer tea, herbal teas, or ginger drinks.  Usually just cheap ginger soda, but harsh real ginger is worth the sugar *occasionally*.

My family has so much diabetes, so I am very careful~
Lost 5 pounds since starting HRT btw but I was eating *more*, I just felt like going to the gym a lot more.  I was already mid-high weight so I'm still happy with it, I was mostly just surprised I didn't *gain* from all the eating.

[Great Order]

I've gathered that HRT in general can cause weight loss in and as of itself because the body's suddenly finding itself having to make changes in physiology, which is a pretty laborious process from a nutrition standpoint. On top of that, it's like a second puberty and we all know what the first one does to your metabolism.

I've got a spot on my nose. It's yet to form a head and it's horrifically sensitive. If I brush it it's like someone drove a needle into the thing. Fecking genetics man, I'm in my late 20s, I shouldn't be having acne like I'm a teenager still, and this is with an effective facecare routine. Normally I'm way worse.

[Rolan7]

Yeah, that's why I was over-eating on purpose.  I wanted my biology to have everything it needed, and as a 90% vegetarian I was trying to eat more protein.

Bean and rice, mostly.  (It's that easy).

(I had dreams about eating too much.  I guess this stuff isn't easy.  But if you visit the gym twice a week as a game,)

I mean.  I don't consider my trips to the gym as an onus, really.  It's nice indulging in some endorphins.  But I guess I'm supposed to pretend that it isn't fun.

[Frumple]

... it must be nice to get endorphins from exercise. I honestly can't remember ever experiencing that, even back in school where it was regular enough I was in okay shape. Gods know it'd make keeping up on that stuff a metric fuckton easier if there were anything to it other than exhaustion, pain, and sweat

[TD1]

Huh, so I looked into it and some people genuinely don't get an endorphin high from exercise. That's... unfortunate.


Granted, I use the gym as an outlet for excess energy, not to ride a runner's high.

[Eric Blank]

Yeah, I loathe it. Literally like my skin is trying to peel away

Moving this past two weeks has been hell. Nonstop sweating and burning and sores and rashes. I've got a sore on top my foot that keeps coming open everytime I work, peeling the scab right off, and weve run out of bandages to put over it. On top of that i had a cold and then got dehydrated and lightheaded for an evening. I'm so glad everything's finally unloaded and now it's just organizing and unpacking.


And one of our cats ran out the door in the morning and never came back. I keep hoping she'll show up but I don't think she will...

Coffee is horrible

English breakfast tea is peak caffeine performance.


I tried cutting sugar out at one point. Ended up losing a stone I really couldn't afford to lose. I've an insanely fast metabolism, so apparently sugar is the only thing keeping me healthy.

English tea is disgusting.

Irish tea is double disgusting.

The reason you think coffee is horrible is that because all coffee in these islands sucks, and none of you can brew it anyway. Not that you're any good at brewing tea - every time someone here says they are good at brewing tea, Qin Shi Huang spins fast enough in his grave to power both the PRC *and* his cyborg terracotta army for one year.

[TD1]

I'm sensing a lot of anger.

Truly, it is an emotion which can cloud the judgement and poison the mind of anyone.



(How to brew tea:
Step 1: Purchase English breakfast tea
Step 2: Place in teapot
Step 3: Add boiled water
Step 4: Wait
Step 5: Pour, add playful splash of milk, enjoy

And to hell with that bastard Qin Shi Huang!)

English tea is so horrid, they have to dilute it with milk to kill the taste.

Turkish tea is the best. I don't get why the English are portrayed as tea addicts while here we are, consuming more than two times as much.

It's not even a competition.

[Vector]

English tea is processed using the cut tear curl method and maximum oxidation so that you can taste the full bitterness of the nasty, old leaves they use to make it while Qin Shi Huang laughs all the way to the bank (and enjoys his tip & bud blend that has been rubbed with fragrant jasmine flowers ... as many as seven times).

They don't even have the decency to put spices in or foam the milk to cover the flavor, as on the Subcontinent.

[MrRoboto75]

Imagine making real use of any of those spices and teas you colonized half the world for.

You have excess energy? I barely do anything and I require stimulants to have enough energy to do it!
