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.

Personal Goals Have to Happen Now

www.raptitude.com/2023/11/personal-goals-have-to-happen-now

Personal goals are generally expected to happen later.
The reason it’s hard to get going on personal goals is that you’re already using all of your time. No matter who you are, you’re already using all 24 hours, every day, for something. Because this will always be true, goals that happen at all must happen now, while you still don’t yet have time.
Basically, you learn to work in small, uniform parcels of time. They’re short, timer-bound, and unwaveringly focused on a particular outcome. Most importantly, they can fit into real life, as it already is.

マリウス . A World without Passports

マリウス.com/a-world-without-passports

The author tells a brief history of passports: they are very recent. China got them since Han dynasty, West got them since First World War. What about Russia? I think it was Peter the First who introduced them? No? It's always Peter the First...

Anyway. Passports are used for surveillance, and with the ongoing digitalization, will be used even more. Everything is tracked with no real need for the citizens. Something like NFT could be used instead. The author talks about age verification and phone contracts. I thought of NFT for medicine: the doctor doesn't really need your name.

What will the world without identification look like? Dunno. I don't really want to lose the ability to get back my money in case I get scammed; how would that work without identification?

Phoebe lessons learned for Oddmu

alexschroeder.ch/view/2023-10-08-phoebe-lessons

So this is what I learned for Oddµ: The wiki is for single authors
first and foremost. All the wiki features like revisions, diffs,
histories, recent changes – they only matter if you have enthusiastic
collaborators that you don’t know and I haven’t seen that in a very
long time. So that’s why Oddµ lacks all those features. Most people
aren’t going to need them.
