You know what's lazy? Driving
Back in the day, we had to walk.

They're far from commonplace. Honestly, manual on a bike is very different from manual in a car.I never knew motorcycles could be had in an auto, well there you go.
Possibly showing my age as every bike I've ridden has been manual.
Could you elaborate a little further on this?Honestly, manual on a bike is very different from manual in a car.
I think I was mainly getting at what I followed up with. It's been years, but I used to ride daily, even in heavy traffic, and the hassles of stop-and-go were better than halved by virtue of lane splitting.Could you elaborate a little further on this?
Ah ok gotcha 👍 , in my mind I was just thinking of the interaction with the bike.I think I was mainly getting at what I followed up with. It's been years, but I used to ride daily, even in heavy traffic, and the hassles of stop-and-go were better than halved by virtue of lane splitting.
The only thing I really didn't like was gridlock on an incline, but it was so rare.
Yeah, no, that's all obviously different.Ah ok gotcha 👍 , in my mind I was just thinking of the interaction with the bike.
You know pull in clutch (at least for take off), flick the gear lever with you foot etc in comparison to a car of press clutch with foot and shift gear with hand.
Ignoring scooter, some high end models come with auto gearboxes. They have their uses on bigger bikes although are not common on a wider market.I never knew motorcycles could be had in an auto, well there you go.

Bloody kids and all this new fancy schmancy auto stuff.......shakes fist.Yeah, no, that's all obviously different.
I'll perform an experiment on your behalf.I am on the cusp of a major, fundamental reversal. After listening to some viewpoints on this, I recently decided to force myself to try things this way to settle the matter once and for all. It goes against every fibre of my being, it changes my entire outlook of life that I have had for the past 31 years. I am close to a complete switch in polarity.
Having milk before water in a cup of tea actually does taste better. I feel dirty.
Make sure you don't tell her about your experiment so you don't influence the data.I'll perform an experiment on your behalf.
I don't drink tea but make plenty of cups for my wife and apparently make a good cup whatever that means.
I've always been in the camp of water first but will mix it up over the next few days and check for any feedback.
Will report back.
Okay, Poindexter.Make sure you don't tell her about your experiment so you don't influence the data.
Absolutely.Make sure you don't tell her about your experiment so you don't influence the data.
You have to be careful - the tea looks extremely milky until you dip or dunk the teabag a few times after a minute or so. Once you've given the teabag a squeeze, it's ready for stirring.I'll perform an experiment on your behalf.

Walking? Back in my day that would be a luxury!You know what's lazy? Driving

I've been making it either way for years, never noticed any difference.I am on the cusp of a major, fundamental reversal. After listening to some viewpoints on this, I recently decided to force myself to try things this way to settle the matter once and for all.

You're going to take vigilante justice against me and shoot me for this, but according to #YOLO this is not the case. You contribute to society because you want to.And as a physically healthy and able individual you have an obligation to society to try to be a contributing member.
I remember James May once talked about the chemistry behind it and he agreed that milk first was superior. It was something to the effect of having milk at the bottom of the tea helps spread the chemical properties of the milk better instead of putting it only on the top layer. Milk at the bottom is better at counteracting the tannins in the tea than milk at the top.I've been making it either way for years, never noticed any difference.
Apparently the reasoning behind 'always water before milk' is because the water flows easier through the tea bag than milky water does. Makes sense, but if you leave it in long enough you're going to get the same results.
Right then, I've been going the milk first route for the last few days without telling her.You have to be careful - the tea looks extremely milky until you dip or dunk the teabag a few times after a minute or so. Once you've given the teabag a squeeze, it's ready for stirring.
No difference indicates no worse.Right then, I've been going the milk first route for the last few days without telling her.
Zero feedback so take from that what you will, I think the first few attempts I got the ratio wrong and added too much milk due to not being able to judge the amount as the tea changed colour.
I'll try a few more days then tell her and see what she says.
Exactly my conclusion also, was hoping for an improvement though.No difference indicates no worse.
Prediction:Exactly my conclusion also, was hoping for an improvement though.
Will continue for a few days before asking her. 👍
A completely plain McFlurry is one of my go-tos for a bad throat.McDonald’s soft whip style ice cream cone is really good ice cream.
