/c/TenForward: Your home-away-from-home for all things Star Trek!
Re-route power to the shields, emit a tachyon pulse through the deflector, and post all the nonsense you want. Within reason of course.
~ 1. No bigotry. This is a Star Trek community. Remember that diversity and coexistence are Star Trek values. Any post/comments that are racist, anti-LGBT, or generally "othering" of a group will result in removal/ban.
~ 2. Keep it civil. Disagreements will happen both on lore and preferences. That's okay! Just don't let it make you forget that the person you are talking to is also a person.
~ 3. Use spoiler tags.
Use spoiler tags in comments, and NSFW checkbox for posts.
This applies to any episodes that have dropped within 3 months prior of your posting. After that it's free game.
~ 4. Keep it Trek related. This one is kind of a gimme but keep as on topic as possible.
~ 5. Keep posts to a limit. We all love Star Trek stuff but 3-4 posts in an hour is plenty enough.
~ 6. Try to not repost. Mistakes happen, we get it! But try to not repost anything from within the past 1-2 months.
~ 7. No General AI Art. Posts of simple AI art do not 'inspire jamaharon'
~ 8. No Political Upheaval. Political commentary is allowed, but please keep discussions civil. Read here for our community's expectations.
Fun will now commence.

Isn't that also known as Turkish Coffee?
Basically just boiling coffee grounds, then let it all settle and you drink the liquid at top and leave the muddy stuff at the bottom.
I've done lots of camping when I was younger. My family is Indigenous Canadian and we were affected by the English historically ... so our hot drink of choice is orange pekoe tea. Same thing, you boil it until it steeps. My parents came from a time when they used to buy it as loose ground tea that made a mess. In my time, it all came in tea bags so it was easy to heat, steep, pour and collect. We also liked to boil multiple tea bags for about 30 seconds ... this speeds up the steeping process and makes a strong bitter dark liquid that is almost like coffee.
Fun fact ... in the winter time, people used to use the spent hot tea bags from their tea to melt and wipe off the ice from the sled runners. It melted off the chunks of the ice and smoothed out any liquid to make a new shiny solid ice layer to make your runners slippery smooth again.
Yep. Cowboy coffee is Turkish brew. The only difference is a lack of any extra implements and it's usually done in a big camp kettle or pot. The grind isn't that fine either. But for all intents and purposes, the method is the same. Greek coffee is also very similar.
I'm also a big fan of boiling more tea than normal to get a strong flavour lol. But usually out camping, I'll have my coffee grind and just tea bags because they're much easier Always double bag it 😁 Big peppermint fan, but also like a lot of smooth and flowery blends. Like the opposite of the coffee, I guess—cover all bases.
