Big Bang is Wrong. Big Crunch is coming....

I have started drinking thyme tea in the current flu season. It's nice when made with a little honey.

Will try it.

I found a good open access review paper on thyme here, published by Wiley in the journal "Food Science and Nutrition". Interesting stuff.

If you click on 'pdf' on that page you can read the whole paper as a pdf.

And this is what making it looks like. You can vary the amount used according to the how strong you want the flavour to be, in fact I probably used a bit too much in that photo, you could start with half that amount!
The thyme itself is simply fresh cut thyme that you can buy in any supermarket. I haven't tried making it with dried thyme from a packet. I found one cup per day is enough.

The usually authoritative webmd.com has an article on thyme here:-

Thyme: Overview, Uses, Side Effects, Precautions, Interactions, Dosing and Reviews

Learn more about Thyme uses, effectiveness, possible side effects, interactions, dosage, user ratings and products that contain Thyme.

www.webmd.com

They also list some of the more well known precautions and drug interactions.
Unfortunately drugs.com, which is also usually authoritative, does not appear to have an article on thyme.

I found adding some honey to it makes it more palatable. And if you have a cough, honey is well-known to soothe a cough, so the two ingredients have a synergistic action.
A mince pie or piece of Christmas cake with the tea helps too.

Unlikely to happen, but if UEFI firmware itself become hypervisor and forcing all hardware access virtualized with its runtime service, it would be interesting.
No more worries about passthroughs on VMs on any OS'es.
