Be the change you want to see in the word.

It Could Happen Here is often talking about what's going on that week in the world. I wouldn't try to listen to their whole backlog, but I usually catch an episode or two a week.

Behind the Bastards is great. Since I found it (Summer 2020, I'd reckon), I've listened to most of what has come out since.

Cool People who did Cool Stuff is a sort of spin off of btb. Deep dives on people and movements who were resisting the bastards. It's only been going on a couple of years, so the backlog is more manageable if that's your thing.

I listen to Past Times on the Dollop feed most weeks. The Dollop is another deep dive history podcast. On Past Times, they read headlines and articles from different newspaper every week. Usually from the late 19th through early 20th century, but they've gone as far back as the 1600s.

Anything by Jamie Loftus is great. She's mostly done short run things on a single topic. She's on the Bechdel cast, too which I listen to occasionally.

You might enjoy The Deprogram, which has a less daunting backlog.

There's not a complete sentence after the period, so no.

You should. It's a fun drama that inspired a lot of people to pick up go when it came to Western audiences.

My family had a copy of that letter in the late 80s/early 90s except it was a Mrs. Fields recipe. I knew exactly what it would be from your comment

I'm from the US and I don't order hot tea in a place that might do this. I wouldn't trust them to make it, either, though. My reason is that the water they'd bring just isn't going to be hot enough to steep with.

I love black tea steeped in water that started close to boiling when the tea was added and poured (or teabags removed) before the bitter tannins get too strong. Even cheap black tea can be decent if it's brewed well.

If they bring me a pot of water, it probably came from the hot water thing on their coffee maker and it already started not hot enough even before they put it in a non-insulated metal pot. If it were hot enough, I'd actually prefer to put the bag in myself so I know when to take it out.

On average, folks in my country have never even had hot tea brewed well, and I think that bad tea is worse than bad coffee.

If I'm in, say, an Asian place, I'd be more likely to order tea since I reckon the staff are more likely to know how good it can be and how to make it.

Ooh, did infinity come to Lemmy? That was my app for the old site for... I dunno, time is weird... a couple of years?

I've been enjoying liftoff over here. It's been solid enough that I stopped looking.

They were talking about the device from the article, when a non-wired remote was a new and neat idea. Also, standardized, long-lasting batteries may not have been as common as we're used to these days.

That's the world where the original engineers decided not to go with an electronic device, so they didn't have customers buying the bleeding edge tech and thinking it had bricked a couple of months after purchase because "did you change the battery?" wasn't a consideration they were used to yet
