Loose leaf tea from the middle east and for the most part which are country, region, and type based. As far as brands go, Sadaf Cardamom tea is pretty good and affordable.

They need to be taxed more and held to a higher efficiency requirement.

Why do so many videos and even online camera stores call the 4/3 type sensor "Micro Four Thirds" when Micro Four Thirds is a mirrorless camera mount format? (sopuli.xyz)

I get that they sound similar but they absolutely are not the same thing and its use implies that there are only mirrorless cameras.

Or do I just make a post when I think of something to ask? I just don't want to clutter people's feeds if they are expecting cool photos.

I am sure this would work for messenger bags, camera bags, or really any bag. And hard board backing could be added to them from rubbing on the wheels.

I had been looking for a bike to get around my local city and managed to snag a Huffy cruiser for $50. It is in decent shape with only some superficial rust on the pedals. This will be a big learning experience for me as I haven't ridden a bike for nine years. I'll both learn how to use a bike to run errands and how to do some of my own maintenance. Maybe even customize it a bit by adding a frame lock and a 3 speed gear hub. I guess we shall see how far I get in this learning and fitness quest.

Can a "Dutch" utility bike be made in the US? (sopuli.xyz)

So I live in the US and I have seen a few videos proclaiming the virtues of Dutch style bikes including NoJustBike's video. They all are saying that these bikes cannot be found in the US but couldn't one just buy a step through frame and just add the missing features themselves such as a chain guard and parallel handle bars?

Do you guys think velomobiles/pedal cars will ever become a thing? (sopuli.xyz)

A sheltered e-bike seems perfect for the winters where I live but the ones I see available start at $10,000 which seems very steep given they are categorized as bikes.

Got to do a Chinese gong fu tea tasting and bought some Persian cardamom tea (sopuli.xyz)

I enjoyed the Jasmine tea and the white tea, which tasted like incense smells. The green tea tasted like spinach and the oolong didnt taste like much. The fermented tea tasted like cut grass. The Cardamom Ceylon black tea didnt have a strong flavor at first but with sweetener, the cardamom really pops. I had hoped that I would like tea unsweetened so that I would have a healthy beverage but it is either no strong enough, bitter, or tastes like plant. To be fair, only the cheap store brand tea has been bitter. Any suggestions for teas to try that are more on the fruity, nutty, floral, or spice side?
