• There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.

    If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.

    Please note any post refering to a politician will be considered political even if it is intended to be humor. Our experience is these topics have a way of dividing the forums and causing deep resentment among members. It is a poison to the community. We appreciate compliance with the rules.

News Alert - Tea brewing in China!

Sorry, I could not resist the urge to do this. As an excuse for my inane behavior, I offer up the fact that I just spent 3 hours rebuilding my sister-in-law's computer (took the MOBO and stuff out of my nephew's beat up case and put them into my sis-in-law's mint condition case that had a bad MOBO). All the dog hair, carpet sprinkle dust and cobwebs I enhaled during that procedure have left me a bit loopy.

You realize that the tea in China is older than most other old living things. Each new tea plant is a fresh cut from an older plant. They do not plant seeds. In this way they preserve the genetic traits. The old plants technically never die.

Something like this happened to me as well. Cat hair worked its way through the vents on my tower and under the cooling fan assembly. The temp on the CPU rose accordingly, which is how I put together what had happened. The hair and dust blew right out with a blast from the duster, but now I'm more careful about covering the tower when I'm not using. Pet hair gets everywhere.
