an old russian legend has it that the first steeping has to be discarded because the tea was transported in hell knows what conditions and it's better not to risk drinking the first infusion
but that's coz in soviet russia tea drinks you
I just threw two big leaves off of my balcony-grown mint plant into my tea, and it's nothing special
the plant itself smells nice though
@ton.yeung damn who could have thought it's still actual advice
In the manga, Darin and later Darin's father (Chief of Zoma) keeps referring to Furuya's grandfather as "Professor Boil". Is there a reason behind his name?
Below are some examples:
Chapter 10 (Darin):
Chapter 31 (Darin's father - Chief of Zoma):
Since I assume bishounen characters are meant to attract a shoujo audience, for the most part
Same here
It's about music and adulation of the music 'stars'
From the first few minutes I tried out
Oh yeah and I gave up on Brynhildr, I don't know quite what it is, but it just didn't really seem to interest me much anymore, possibly how they covered up any wounds, while still spewing blood everywhere. Not sure what made me drop it, exactly, but I didn't even really want to finish watching the episode I started up last night. I do like the opening song though xD
But all of that is not as important as "2 days! 2 days! 2 days!" o 3 o
@ShinobuOshino Well, you saying that would give me blanket permission to spoil everything that happens this arc >_> I don't really want to do that, if I can help it
Now I know I will not talk about that, but I don't know how far I can go without spoiling things. Since not that much information is known about the arc, to anyone that hasn't read the novel
@ShinobuOshino @MadaraUchiha Is that really NSFW? I didn't think things like violence or gore were NSFW. But I don't really know what the guidelines are regarding these things.
Meh maybe it is. Wiki mentions violence so I guess maybe some places have policies on such things.
If my advisor came into my office at work, I'd be way more scared of him seeing me reading a paper unrelated to my research than I would be of him seeing me looking at a violent image (or pretty much anything else really).
If my advisor saw e.g. porn on my screen, he'd probably just ignore it and keep talking to me. But if he saw a paper that wasn't related to my work, he'd start asking me all kinds of questions and try to figure out what new brilliant idea I had.
(which was probably something like "let's take a break and read something completely irrelevant to everything I care about").
If there was somewhere that compiled just the scenes with Gou and removed all the topless males, I might actually watch that. But I just can't make it through 25 minutes of male characters in speedos to get a couple lines by the only good character.
@MadaraUchiha Yes, but in context you implied that it's NSFW because it's something that you wouldn't want to see at work. If you are not yourself normal, that's denying the antecedent, a classic fallacy.
In any case, I don't really care either way
But my understanding of NSFW is that it's primarily for sexually provocative/explicit images which are likely to cause a problem with various companies' sexual harassment policies and content filters.
If it includes violent images, then that's fine, but that isn't what I understood prior to this.
@user1306322 This image is not worksafe because it's ugly and no reasonable person would want an ugly image on their computer screen, at work or otherwise. But since I'm not a reasonable person I'm fine with it.
@user1306322 Crying emoticon faces are not worksafe because they could be seen by someone who happens to have a bad day and noticing the face breaks down into tears, at which point you get blamed by HR for causing this emotional outburst and fired. Since no reasonable person would want to get fired, it's not allowed. Luckily I'm not reasonable, so I wouldn't get fired even if I made someone else cry.
@user1306322 That phrase is not worksafe because it's an attempt at English text. If it was seen on the screen of a reasonable person in North Korea who was hacking into this chatroom while at work, he could face severe consequences for being in a room which supports such a barbaric language, including being fired or possibly worse. Since a reasonable person wouldn't want that, we can't have English text in this room. Luckily I'm not reasonable, hence why I don't live in North Korea.
Well I'm lucky my internet is back up and I don''t have to do my 100 days again to get the fanatic badge. Also I noticed that stackexchange ended up doing those new badges which is pretty cool.

I like the megaman/rockman zero and zx series of games mainly for their art style. Its clearly anime/manga but different from anything else I have seen. Does anyone know of an anime/manga series that uses similar art style?
I successfully got the curious badge on Area 51 discussion zone. I just had to undelete a few self-deleted questions and apparently that brought me into the net positive question range, despite the large number of automatically deleted posts.
Inquisitive seems near-impossible there though, and socratic is just silly. So that's probably the last obtainable one.
I did say that they might be considering a manga reboot or something like that, but AFAIK nothing is announced and the only thing which is still being produced is the LN.
IIRC you need to satisfy an inequality which is something like (# total questions - # deleted questions - # closed questions - # questions with negative score) / # total questions >= 0.5
A couple of months ago, I suggested a set of badges for asking questions. The responses were... mixed. The top answer can be summarized:
In practice, all this would do is encourage people to ask yet more stupid, worthless questions and we have quite enough of that as it is.
We believe that ...

I tried the wiki, but couldn't find any information on this cool-looking walking (hydron?) canon. http://codegeass.wikia.com/wiki/Vehicles
