walking > standing > sitting > lying down

Walking digests food fastest (obviously because you are moving your body/burning calories), and lying down digests foods most slowly. Gravity is also working against you to an extent

Not sure - you'd have to do some research on what that article is referencing. Search "Decree of Memphis" - that's essentially what's written on the Rosetta Stone.

For the history of those decrees you may want to look into "Ptolemaic decrees"

The stone was a part of a steele that was displayed in a temple.

The translated text is essentially an announcement or decree for a new Egyptian regime, and wasn't necessarily written with the intent to preserve history.

The reason why it's in three languages is because each of those languages served a different purpose.

"hieroglyphs (suitable for a priestly decree), Demotic (the cursive Egyptian script used for daily purposes, meaning 'language of the people'), and Ancient Greek (the language of the administration – the rulers of Egypt at this point were Greco-Macedonian after Alexander the Great's conquest."

You can read more about it here or do your own research. https://www.britishmuseum.org/blog/everything-you-ever-wanted-know-about-rosetta-stone

to me having a funded arts curriculum is a sign of an fully developed/advanced education system. Of course you need the mandatory subjects for function like reading, math, science, etc. But to complete the full human experience you need subjects like history, music, art, philosophy, etc. You take those things away, it's like removing a part of what makes being alive enjoyable, and also in parallel, the ability to express struggle in an an almost universal way. The education is no longer for thriving, but for surviving

Yup, the youth and anyone educated. Why move if you or your partner can be prosecuted for a miscarriage that's not even in your control.

I am a full-time software developer and everytime I need to merge or rebase, I Google the commands... just in case

Thanks, I guess part of being an adult is just being more and more indifferent to the gradual decline of the world so that the crippling dread does not consume you.

Explains why my parents are still asking for grandkids.

 

Recently tried a batch of new tea leaves (Jade/Oolong) and the first brew was so good, it made me think about sharing it with a larger community.

The flavor profile of Jade is floral, light and slightly sweet.

I did about 4 grams of tea with 300 ml of water (200 degrees F/ 93 C).

Brewed for about 4 minutes.

I wish I could upload the smell on this post!

Highly recommend y'all try this tea - also as always, if you're looking to buy, whole leaf single origin is the way to go. I'm doing this gongfu style, so hoping to get another good 5-6 brews out of this.

Also, I'm coming from Reddit, and noticed the tea community here is much smaller than the tea sub.

Hoping this community continues to grow~
