The Non-Judgmental Guide to Getting Seriously Into Tea

www.seriouseats.com/tea-for-everyone

Every year I'm left in the lurch wondering when tea will get its due. Delicious, ubiquitous, nourishing, gently stimulating, and rich with history and lore, to say nothing of glossy tools to drop money on, tea has everything you could want in an obsession-worthy drink. Here's why I'm so into it, and why I think you should be too.

This text is written for Americans, which makes it weird. What do you mean their teabags are forgotten and collect dust? But overall this is a good motivational introduction to Chinese tea.

Rotation with three shears

cohost.org/tomforsyth/post/891823-rotation-with-three

There's a graphics trick that used to be widely known that has now probably almost vanished from the graphics consciousness - you can do rotations by applying three shears in a row. This should surprise you! It surprised me. And it re-surprises me every time I remember it.

Where we stand regarding the climate

alexschroeder.ch/view/2024-01-14-climate

Basically, we are standing at a very bad point regarding the climate. I expect regions with acceptable air and temperature to become very luxurious. Better be there when the time comes. But what are such regions?

I think I've accepted the doom of the burning world. It will happen and I am witnessing it already. A fact.

Bullshit jobs

250bpm.com/blog:44

They predicted we would have to work less now. We work the same, and we have a lot of “bullshit jobs”. I don't like name, but the term seems to be popular, so I'll stick with it for now. Why such jobs emerge? People need work, and if there is no real work, they are fine with fake work.
