Worth trying a sample if you're a pu-erh drinker. I was a black tea drinker for ages, before finally trying pu-erh. Most pu-erhs I've tried have been iffy to 'okay', except for a sample I received but delayed trying a few years ago. Turned out to be the most amazing tea I'd ever had, but it had all been snapped up while it sat on my shelf. :(
>This is a great tea with complex aromas, awesome mouthfeel, and a balanced taste. The aroma is cooling, floral, and sweet with notes of leather, old books, jiaogulan, and honey.
Aside from supposedly tasting like "old books", according to that reviewer, this 1999 "Taiwan Export" is a very delicious pu-erh. My brick has just left China on the way to California. :)
(homesteading, inceltears, and flatearth are the only subs containing the string 'tea'...)
"Bankman-Fried was sentenced to 25 years in prison. He plans to appeal his sentence and conviction. In retrospect, considering that those who had money in his bankrupt exchange got as much as a 42% return, he may well end up with a reduced sentence."
Thought I recently read he got a huge reduction, but maybe that was just speculation.
Related, Putin also mentioned a few days ago that the Russian city of Odessa will be Russian territory again. Russia isn't planning on stopping at the Dnieper river.
May 9th is Victory Day in Russia. It's widely anticipated that the Russian offensive will accelerate after the holiday.
elensky canceled elections in Ukraine, but will still lose legitimacy when his term of presidency ends on May 21st.

Above written in pajeet speak.
Also, imagine burnt hair being added to the existing odor in there.
Ukraines 'greatest counter-offensive' last summer made some minor advances, but was a crushing defeat that decimated their forces. Russia since regained some strategic locations, and their current 'pre-offensive' is beginning to roll over the collapsing Ukrainian defense. "Roll over" is a relative term, since they're still slogging it out in trenches and ruins of towns and villages.
>The May 9 Victory Day is celebrated in most of the successor states to the Soviet Union. The day is traditionally marked by ceremonial military parades with the most prominent one being traditionally held in Moscow Red Square.
It's generally expected that the full Russian offensive against the invaders will begin shortly after Victory Day.
