Like a silo somewhere hidden where they could launch a rocket to the moon if need be.
Wishful thinking I know.

Edit: Massively disappointed in this sequel, quite honestly I wish it wasn't made lol. I don't recommend it, I wrote a review off-site but it boils down to: Terrible writing, terrible direction (even tho it's the same director as the first movie) and terrible line delivery from the villain, avoid avoid avoid. Sisu 1 is still great.

Comment on Tips for becoming a tea person in ~food
Ozzy Link ParentInterestingly I never thought of looking into it until now, but from what I can gather generally the tea leaves are from the "Camellia sinensis" plant. Not sure through which process they go to...what kind of leaves are used for this kind of tea, and are they grown in the region?
Interestingly I never thought of looking into it until now, but from what I can gather generally the tea leaves are from the "Camellia sinensis" plant. Not sure through which process they go to dry it and "blacken" it, but apparently this is the standard. Not sure where it is grown, but apparently "sinensis" is latin for "from China". Most of this I got from Wikipedia haha.
Your comment reminded me of it and I'm slightly sad :'(
Aww, I'm sorry haha, I'm sure you can find some new sets online or probably at any local Turkish/Arabic store.
Is tea big in the Middle East also because alcoholic beverages arent as big of a daily thing?
Not from what I know, it's just generally served quite a lot especially at gatherings or with food, we're just a culture that loves tea and coffee. Those who wish to have the experience of drinking "beer" can technically buy non-Alcoholic versions of it but it's not really a big thing, at least not in the country I have roots from. Even I (apostate) could technically drink alcohol and I just don't care for it, prefer a nice cup of black tea haha.
oh my mistake Turkey is middle east.
Bit of both! Turkey is half in Europe half in Asia.

But again, this is probably not realistic or grounded in reality at all and it's just my imagination running wild. Don't take any of it seriously lol.

I recommend trying to find a local store in your country that imports products from the Middle East and find either loose black tea that you can use to boil or black tea bags that come pre-packaged.
The best method to make this tea is to buy a teapot and fill it with water, bring it to a boil and then dunk the black tea inside. Some people like to add ginger to their tea, like, pieces of ginger to boil with it, others like to sprinkle cinnamon when it’s done and another common garnishing for it is mint! You can add as much sugar as you’d like.
If you end up doing this, let me know your thoughts. Personally I’ve tried many different teas and this is the only way I genuinely like it.
Peach ice tea not withstanding. 😁

Scary yet fascinating at the same time. More here:

Haven't played many games in the past few months (almost none tbh) so this is a breath of fresh air for me. If anyone has any non-spoiler tips to share, let me know!

Yeah I’m definitely working on it with my prescriber (as it’s not the psychologist directly that handles my meds) and we’ll see how it goes. I just worry that if none of the stimulant based meds work that nothing else might.
We’ll see. Thanks again.

I’m currently on 50mg Elvanse (Vyvanse) and honestly I am not seeing any difference other than heart palpitations.
I still procrastinate and can barely focus, I still get crazily overstimulated, and it’s honestly like I am not even taking it. :/ This is the second medication I’m trying. Maybe it’ll kick in better at 70mg…
But wouldn’t that defeat the purpose of having something off-world for even more security and whatever [insert cataclysmic scenario on earth]?
