    I have never ordered something from Amazon. It was introduced in my country a few years back, but it isn’t really that good of a site (at least the few times I have visited it).

    Like many here, I do not want to support a monopolistic company like Amazon. Luckily I live in a country where I have better options. I tend to buy things from plenty of well rated sites. Environmentally conscious sites if I can.

    I could see myself buying from them if there genuinely isn’t another option and it is something I really need, but that has yet to happen.




  • I have had basically no issues with my setup: Edgerouter 4 (overkill, had a lower end Edgerouter earlier with no issues except the power adapter died, other hardware was fine). Some pretty basic unifi AP. As well as some cheap dumb gigabit switches. Can basically fire and forget them. Relatively easy to do most things I need on it. Never needed a reboot outside of upgrades. No stability issues, unlike basically all other home grade all in one stuff I have experienced in the past.


    1. Heat water to 70 degrees using electric kettle.
    2. Put loose leaf green tea in a strainer thingy. Leave room for it to expand 4 times as big
    3. Swoosh some of the 70 degree water around a glass kettle to heat it up, pour it out.
    4. Put strainer with tea in glass kettle.
    5. Pour water over tea.
    6. Let sit for a few minutes.
    7. Drink.
    8. Reuse the same leafs throughout the day using same steps.

    I usually use unflavored green tea with decent quality. Very different from tea bags.


  • I used to think tea didn’t taste much. Then I realized I only tried bad tea. Now my goto tea is loose leaf green sencha fukuju (I hope that is the correct spelling) that I steep in 70 C water for a few minutes in a preheated pot that allows the tea to expand properly.

    I get the tea from a local tea shop. I often reuse the tea leaves several times throughout the day. I occasionally drink some other teas, but I try to stay away from tea bags because I mostly find them to be less good because lower quality.
