Is that different from a Virgin Mimosa?
I’d mix Sprite or 7-Up with the OJ for a virgin mimosa.
I just learned that all tea is basically the same plant, and the end product is entirely dependent on how it’s processed.
It’s not uncommon for hot infusions of other plants to be called tea. For example, “chamomile tea” has no tea in it, only chamomile.
PSA since people are always surprised:
You know those “flushable” wet wipes, for yer bum or yer baby’s bottom?
Plumber I once met: “Lot of us put our kids through college on those things.”
Don’t flush anything except toilet paper. I swear, that’s been said for years. Pads, tampons, paper towels, diapers … what about “Don’t flush anything except toilet paper (and pee/poop/vomit)” is so damn difficult?
An equivalent warning about moistened wipes: just because the package says it’s flushable, doesn’t mean it is truly flushable. My mother experienced a very expensive, embarrassing case of the runs as the neighbors in her condo got to witness the plumber removing the blockage in the underground parking area of the building.
I see @purplehorseshoe beat me to the topic, but I’ll leave the post up to underscore her warning.
I can’t find it now but someone in a SDMB post was complaining that some cheap crappy- something; cleaning cloths?- disintegrated within ten minutes of getting wet. I remember thinking maybe they should have been marketed as flushable wipes.
“Are You Flushing Kidding Me” is the clever new campaign launched by Sydney Water’s in-house creative team in a bid to stop 500 tonnes of wet wipes and, other bizarre items, being flushed down the toilet at a cost of more than $14 million a year.
TIL, while reading the Wikipedia article on the Euthyphro dilemma,
“ In the song ‘No Church in the Wild’ from the album Watch the Throne, rapper Jay Z references the dilemma with the line, “Is pious pious 'cause God loves pious? Socrates asked whose bias do y’all seek.”
I’m glad there’s at least one billionaire who’s thinking about this stuff
Pheasant Island, located on the river Bidasoa in the Basque Contries, changes sovereignty between Spain and France twice a year. It is considered the world’s smallest condominium.
Well, our toilet went crazy yesterday afternoon
The plumber he says, “Never flush a tampoon”
This great information cost me half a weeks pay
And the toilet blew up later on the next day, ay, ay

By the way, in some countries like eg Greece, you do NOT flush toiletpaper. You collect it in a special bin and then depose it, but you do not flush it down the toilet.
And….in that vein.
Much of the Caribbean as well. It seems strange/disgusting initially, but it really makes good sense.
C’mon, everybody knows the smallest condos are in New York.
Wouldn’t a small one be called a condominimum?
(Riffing Beetlejuice)
A toast to our dear colonizers! May your islands go condo!
co-dominion.
I knew this would happen. OK, I know this is just pseudo nitpicking in jest, but this is what a condominium actually is, according to international law:
Which can be considered an interesting random fact in its own right, I hope.
You have a point there. Hundred points, if you wish. You earned them. Now go forth and use them well.
I used to live in a condominium, btw: West Berlin was one from 1945 until 1990.
And Andorra is a sovereign state in its own right, but
Under French law, Andorra was once considered to be a French–Spanish condominium, although it is more commonly classed as a co-principality, since it is itself a sovereign state, not a possession of one or more foreign powers. However, the position of head of state is shared ex officio by two foreigners, one of whom is the President of France, currently Emmanuel Macron, and the other the Bishop of Urgell in Spain, Joan Enric Vives i Sicília.
