I just started getting into tea a lot more seriously. For years, I just drank Trader Joe’s ginger turmeric, and a variety of other brands, but started recently bought Rishi loose leaf. It’s good but one strange thing to me is that I seemed to prefer the second steep because the first one has kind of a viscous mouth feel almost and taste stronger.

Does this make sense to anyone? I suppose I could rinse off the leaves once, then steep it for the first time but I wasn’t aware you did that with tisanes.

Thanks for any help.

Completely new to Govee as of an hour ago. Holy hell this timer/scheduling situation is a nightmare.

I posted about a week ago saying that my brothers and I are considering selling or at least doing something with my father’s collection. He basically has around 50 cards from each of the Bowman 51, 52 and Topps 52 collections.

I put all of the cards into TCDB and it spit out that the collection is worth $3,000 or so. Given that it’s a fairly low amount of money if we ended up selling them all, assuming it would get less than 50% of that, we may just end up keeping them.

But, we have no use for the 4 Warren Spahn cards that he had given they are all the same card. They range from poor to fair to good to quite good in my eyes. Since this card could be worth selling one or two or three of… I have to pay for a membership to PSA, pay for what I expect the value of the card to be to get it graded, hope that it doesn’t get graded over what I guessed or incur another fee, and then have authentication to potentially sell it? Let’s say I could sell the best condition card for $1,000. I’m basically sinking half of that into the PSA grading?

I guess I just had that one question but perhaps you could give me an overall impression based on what I’ve said. Thanks for the help.

All the sweats and unemployed nerds blah blah are immediately rushing to finish ranked. After two or three days, ideally longer, they will have gotten to MB and the match difficulty will drop.

According to AVSForum, after 3.5 years of use, a polarizer likely burned out in my 5050. I get a pink blob and green Quake symbol when I use the projector.

Epson said I could send it to a repair center and those estimates came in at around $1500-2000 to fix. I tried to sell it on eBay w/ a reserve of $500 and the most I got was an offer for $250.

I can't afford to sink $2k into repairing it since I'm a high school teacher. Any last ditch thoughts about what I can do about this? Anyone? Bueller?

Thanks in advance for any help.
