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.

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.

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.

Is the milk put in during or after the brew?

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.
Stirring doesn't seem to affect the chemistry of this, only the colour; you need milk first to offset the tannins irrespective of how much you stir it.
That is what is claimed.

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.

Sonic Lost World 3DS is a pretty good game.
It isn't flawless, Frozen Factory Zone 3 is one of the worst Sonic levels period, Special Stages are among the worse, and the story tries to be impactful like older Sonic games but also some Saturday Morning adventure like Sonic Colours and Generations which this fusion leads to the whole thing feeling lost
But I never understand why the 3DS specifically is regarded as a terrible Sonic game, yet worse than the Wii U/PC version. 3DS version control scheme was much more consistent (you didn't lose speed by going sideways), there was less gimmick levels, Wisps played a lot better and encourages replayability, Parkour was a lot more fluid and more consistent, Bosses were still not good but better and I overall enjoyed playing through this game. RCs were a fun mechanic for exploitation and doing really dumb skips in levels the game didn't intend (mostly, I found a 5 Ring doing it once so that one felt intentional)
