Collective knowledge and experience is a wonderful thing. Left to my own devices, I can just about make a sandwich, providing someone else has made the bread, margarine, cheese and knife. But thanks to everyone who came before and who is around me, I know stuff. So do you! ^_^

Do you have any questions that can't be answered by a basic Google search? There might be someone here who can help.


I have a question and I wonder if anyone else has noticed this.....

I drink black tea and I often let it go cold. I notice that when it's cold, either in the mug or in the pot, it goes very cloudy, presumable from tea dust but I don't really know.
Yet, when I warm it up in the microwave, it goes clear again. Does anyone know how or why this happens?

Great idea for a thread, Bill! Unfortunately, I don't know the answer to your question (unless, of course, the hot tea left steam on your glasses! :lol: ) but I hope that someone else will.

Shame Icarus isn't around any more. I have a feeling she would have known this one. :)

Apparently it's the minerals in the water that does it, Bill. Hard water generally has a higher level of minerals, which will prevent the tannins from dissolving properly and thus giving you a murky-looking brew. Also, as your tea cools, the tannins will unlink their chemical structure and re-link when you warm it up again.

Extracts based on black tea and especially instant black tea give a cloudy drink at room temperature. The cloudiness is caused by tannins in the tea which are released into the hot brew but can bind together when the brew cools.

Bill, extracts based on black tea and especially instant black tea give a cloudy drink at room temperature. This cloudiness is caused by a precipitate of a complex between caffeine and polyphenols.

<_< That would have been my second guess.

Here's your answer from GOOGLE lol.

http://blog.planetpreterist.com/index.php?...id=818&catid=62

I have been making iced tea a few times (in the recent past) and something has been bothering me every time I've made it: the tea becomes cloudy and murky; still tastes great though, so I was at a loss as to why this is happening, so since it's been really bothering me, I've been doing some research on it trying to find out why it is happening - I just have to know! :)

There are generally two possible reasons for iced tea becoming cloudy: hard water and/or sudden drop in temperature. Both reasons affect the capacity of tannins to dissolve properly in water. Tannins are polyphenols present in tea leaves, red wines, chocolate (and other plants) and usually bind and precipitate proteins which in turn prevents the spread of tumors. This is why tea, red wine and chocolate are actually "good for you."

Hard water generally have a higher level of minerals which will prevent the tannins from properly dissolving and brewing, this creating a "murky-looking" tea.

Also, once tea is brewed, if ice cubes or very cold water are added to the hot brew, that will cause the temperature to drop suddenly, causing the tannins (which are also sensitive to heat) in the water to unlink their chemical structure (see below), which leads to cloudiness in the water.



Adding a small amount of boiling water to cloudy iced tea can apparently fix the problem, and I definitely have been breaking the second "rule" so far.

So to avoid cloudy iced tea, use a water softener and after brewing the tea wait for the brew to cool down slowly to room temperature before refrigerating or adding ice. Now that will be $1 for that tip. :)

PEACE and love to my friends, Judy

Not necessarily. Sex speeds your heart rate, your blood flow and uses a lot of energy. I don't know the significance of the cigarette afterwards, but I do know I used to do it too.

Yes, for those who smoke, the exertion from sex metabolises the nicotine in your system leaving you wanting more. (Nicotine, that is. You might want more sex too, but that's a different question).

Dressing to the left?
It's a boy thing. It's a question of which way it hangs.

Not to be rude or odd, but why is it that the British seem to leave out definite articles?

For example, when we Americans talk seeing someone how is staying in the place where you are healed by doctors we say: "We're going to see Betty, she's in the hospital," whereas the British say "she's in hospital."

I've heard British usage such as "I'm going to see Joe, he's down street." Though I must admit we will leave out definite articles when talking about school "I learned that subject in school" but you will not hear Americans say "I learned that subject at university."

I've often wondered about that from the other side - I don't understand why "the" needs to be mentioned when someone has been admitted to (the) hospital. No-one says, "the kids are in the school," or, "you'll end up in the court."

I've done it several times in the past by using a dvd player hooked up to a tv that has a built-in vhs player. But, as Tony said, some dvds are copyright protected and will scramble the picture during the recording process.

I now use a dvd/vcr recorder. They can be found at your local Wal-Mart for roughly $150. I can now burn my vhs tapes onto dvd-r's...and copy my dvds onto vhs tapes, if I wish.

I tried that I put the conneting wires into someplace in the back of the VCR and no dice. I have the Tv Plugged into the VCR and the DVd plugged into the tv in front. I have to play the VCR on channel 3 and the DVD on aux in order to get them but not both at the same time. I tried to get a flash light back there to see what wires went where. I am totally confused on that one.
love doris.

Why do Americans write a date with the month first? Month/Day/Year. Shouldn't it be in some sort of order, smallest to greatest: Day/Month/Year?
I think it would be logical writing Day/Month/Year or Year/Month/Day.

How come you never hear father-in-law jokes?

If people from Poland are called Poles, why aren't people from Holland called Holes?

If 4 out of 5 people SUFFER from diarrhea...Does that mean the fifth one enjoys it?

Instead of having to lick your fingers to turn each page of a book, why not just dunk one corner of the book in a bowl of water?

Why is it considered necessary to nail down the lid of a coffin?

Why is it that when you transport something by car it is called shipment, but when you transport something by ship it's called cargo?

I think because when writen like 2/15/08, and read in that order, it makes February 15th, 2008.

Month/Day/Year does seem to be an American (and sometimes Canadian) thing.

This is just a guess, but my understanding is that after the revolution, Americans did try make clear distinctions between themselves and the English. For instance, there's the word forehead. Most Americans say "four head" whereas we say "forred." I think this was done deliberately.

As for your computers, the date format is part of the regional settings. Similarly, in MS Word you can choose from about a dozen variations of English. I'm never queried when I spell colour correctly.

It probably defaults to stereo because the radio is a stereo signal. As for the surround, does your DVD player have 6 separate audio outputs or a single digital output?

Basic biology. We are automatically attracted to those who most obviously have good genes. You're the same - you'll notice the really fit guy before the average dumpy guy. It doesn't make you a bad person, it's just the animal instinct.

I think that's a moot point now, considering that there'll never be another 01/01/01 in our lifetimes.

We could always concern ourselves with 08/08/08. :P

There is an international standard (ISO 8601) which suggests that we should all be using YYYY-MM-DD.

So, today would be 2008-02-17.

I think it'd take a lot of persuasion for people across the world to adopt that one.

Anyone who believes in equal rights and equality between the sexes will ideally not expect any gender-specific stereotyping. Achieving equality doesn't mean that men and women will be the same as each other, though. Men, no matter how much they want to, will never be able to have periods, give birth and be a mother. It is therefore difficult to say that, given our different roles in nature, men and women will act completely the same as each other.

I believe that it is fine to acknowledge some differences between the sexes and that women should be able to enjoy all of the same educational and employment opportunties in life as men and not be discriminated against just because of their sex, whilst reserving the right to refuse to compromise their individuality and, to whatever personal extent, their female and feminine identity.

...and in the end, the love you take is equal to the love you make.

That actually makes a lot of sense because it means that when arranged in alphabetical order (as computer files usually are), they're also arranged in chronological order.

I agree it would not be welcomed, but it does have practical merit.
