Rapist mentality.
- Comment on Tea Time 1 week ago:
I’m not the one who’s trying to change history here. We know that the Chinese have the oldest recorded tea consumption. Doesn’t make that the only valid way of doing it. It’s like saying that there’s only one authentic way to cook a potato, which is whatever the first person did with it.
And to add to whatever you said about tea being a new thing in India, it’s not accurate. It was first mass produced after the British came. But it actually goes back quite a bit. Camellia sinensis var. assamica is actually indigenous to the Assam region of India, and not “stolen from the Chinese”. Some think that some tribes in India (Singpho, Khamti) have been consuming tea from at least the 12th Century, though they had a different name for it. Some (A Revision of the Genus Camellia by Robert Sealy) think it goes back further, but idk about that.
But honestly, that’s not even the point. Why did you even feel the need to type this comment? Even if it was a 200 old tradition, that’s a pretty long time. And it should be accepted as a valid way of brewing. I’m not even disputing anything. I simply pointed out that there are alternative traditions. That the world isn’t fucking black and white. Seriously dude, when did I say anything that claimed that Indians invented tea? This isn’t twitter, no need to be an insufferable idiot here.

Why do you think that the Chinese way is the only way to prepare authentic tea? It’s so weird dude. We have an ancient tea tradition in India. That’s my point. That a purist might think this method as the proper way too. And it’d be just as valid.

Which is a type of tea.

Our economy literally forces companies to be evil. Once you do an IPO, you’re contractually obliged to be shitty in order to bring higher revenues.

Or calling all kind of art “content”.
- Comment on Tea Time 1 week ago:
It depends. It’s perfectly acceptable to boil the tea for many Indian preparations (usually called cha or chai).

It’s similar to what I felt learning organic chemistry. That’s why I ended up doing math.

I’m not saying it’s always bad. I’m sure you’re very happy. But anecdotes don’t mean much. People are still growing up when they’re 20.

- Comment on Recommendations for lightweight wiki servers? 3 months ago:
I currently use Wiki.js but it’s a bit too much. The image size is around 500MB. I don’t see why I need such a huge program for hosting essentially text files and some images.
From the comments, DokuWiki with a modern theme, Fossil-SCM, and MkDocs seem nice. I’ll probably try some of these during the weekend.
- Comment on Recommendations for lightweight wiki servers? 3 months ago:
Hadn’t heard of it before. Looks promising, thank you.

Try out file shelter. It’s super lightweight and works pretty reliably.

I had the same fucking experience setting up a modem. I was doing everything on their instructions, but it simply won’t register on the network. Customer service kept trying to get me to rent their first party modem. I had to spend almost a day, calling 4 separate times until finally someone forwarded me to an engineer. And boom, fixed in 30 seconds.
- Comment on A mother used her EV to power her son’s dialysis machine amid storms and a blackout | Electric vehicles with bidirectional charging can be life-saving, especially in times of power cuts and natural... 5 months ago:
It’s pretty common in developing countries. Growing up in India, we had frequent power cuts (not too bad as some other places, maybe like 30 mins in a day). So having backup batteries were pretty common. They’re called inverters colloquially.
We rarely have power cuts nowadays, but they’re still useful during storms and such.

I don’t, because I switch it with something better if something like that happens.
