Yes. Least Epic Religious War?

I suggest Fog vs. Mist to be an un-epic religious war.

yes, the answer is obviously tea. with extra caffeine added to it.

Which brings us to another un-epic war (there really is only one answer): Tea, Earl Grey, Hot vs. Other variations.

Iced tea + (ethanol), ldo.

I'd say that's not tea. Iced tea is bad enough (at best I'd call it derived from tea), and mixing it up with booze makes it even less tea.

Derived from? It's water flavored by tea leaves. AKA Tea. Does adding sugar or mint or lemon turn it into chicken soup or something? Herbal teas don't even contain tea, yet are still "tea".
Is your earl grey no longer tea after it cools down?
Game, set, match.

Wait, let me get this straight. You want the taste of dried leaves in water?

I'll have to take some time to think about it.

Earl Grey isn't made out of leaves. It's made out of bergamot orange rind.

Yes.

It's the form that makes it tea. The more alterations you make to it, the less tea, and the more something else it becomes.

No.

All mentions of coffee, tea, and/or their derivatives (alleged or otherwise) are well and truly now off-topic.

Just thought I'd mention that.

Best way to cut cheese: Breadth first or Depth first?

by **lulzfish** » Sat Jun 27, 2009 5:15 pm UTC

Is it proper to rotate the plane of cutting when the cheese becomes too small to cut properly, or do you stay with the original plane as long as possible, at the cost of bent cheese?

by Emu* » Sat Jun 27, 2009 5:44 pm UTC

Well, for something like cheese, the axes labeled as breadth and depth may change as the cheese is diminished...

It is interesting that even the least epic religious wars provoke debate.

ground on the bottom is obviously the way to go. things come unplugged way too easily if the hole for ground is on the top.

I agree, but for whatever reason lots of commercial buildings do it the other way around. It's bizarre. Though looking closely at a plug it seems as if ground on top is the way it was intended to go, because that's the way that lettering on it usually faces.

Neither. It's done like this.

You'll never see a sexier electrical plug standard than this. They wouldn't stick out as props on a borg cube.
