If I would drink coffee, then for sure.
I'll be using mine for spiced cider and hot chocolate. No coffee (yuck) or tea.
-
I have a package awaiting me at home. I expect to be posting a picture of my glorious free mug later today.
As promised!

best headdesk yet. :-P

I love that quote. It might be my favorite thing I have ever read on a computer screen because it is so deeply true:
We are vulnerable, but we don’t want to be reminded of that. We want to believe that the world is understandable and controllable and unthreatening, that if we follow the rules, we’ll be okay. So, when this kind of thing happens to other people, we need to put them in a different category from us. We don’t want to resemble them, and the fact that we might is too terrifying to deal with. So, they have to be monsters.
There is a reason that article, as terrifying as it is, won a Pulitzer.
Also, nice mugs!

How did you get them to print the design onto the mug so that it looks flat when it's photographed from just the right angle?

I have no idea what is the question, but I used this http://www.customink.com/lab?PK=79000

Nice. You didn't get the mug yet, I'm guessing?
-
There is minimum 72 mugs order. and I only drink one coffee a day.
So I will probably pass.
-
I made my own one too
:)
But I bet my wife won't let me buy it...:(

made another one

So you think it's OK to insult me because you're quoting a prize-winning article?
Do me a favour: fuck off.
-
Someone seems testy.
-
Or maybe I take exception to someone who insulted me, then tries to justify it by mentioning some award.
The Pulitzer is a mark of quality journalism; it is not an excuse for His Most 'Esteemed' Jeffness to insult well-meaning hedgehogs.
-
tar .. that sounds like the type of coffee where the spoon just stands in ...

-
Hmm… seems that award isn't all that meaningful, if the board refuses to rescind the award despite having so much evidence of shoddy journalism.
Still doesn't excuse the 'Esteemed' Atwood.

Yeah, I'm not entirely sure what you guys are going on about now. I just like to call out people who thought it was cool to lie like Duranty.
In reality, the Pulitzers have recognized a lot of good work, and to my knowledge, Duranty is the main embarrassment. It's not nearly as compromised as the Nobel Peace prize list.

You mean this bit?
Where what you are resembling is the average Daily WTF subject.
If that was him insulting you, then now are you insulting the rest of us?

It makes more sense if you follow the reply chain ;)I try to steer clear of insulting people myself; it's never worth the hassle.

i don't judge based on religion. i do judge based on your coffee hate.nah, not really. but maybe i'll do some silly jokes like "your code isn't ISO complaint because it isn't derived from caffeine
-
"your code isn't ISO complaint because it isn't derived from caffeine
Why must caffeine come from coffee?

That's the only ISO certified source of caffeine at the moment.

But don't worry. Tea is also defined to be coffee by that standard.

Yuck. Straight pills or soda, please. And only to suppress my migraines.

The way I know I drink too much coffee at work is that at weekends, when I only tend to have 2-3 cups of tea, I start to get bad headaches. I really should cut down a bit through the week
-
I really should cut down a bit through the week
I did that a few years ago; I now usually only have one or two a day, so the occasional bit extra feels special. I try to make sure that when I have coffee, it's a really good one, as life is too short for bad caffeine sources (unless you're desperate).
-
At one point I was going through £35-50 a week at Costa on drinks with extra coffee. Cost aside, that really didn't do me any good.
Now it's, at most, a couple of instant coffees or cups of tea a day.

Interesting. So is the Mormon... umm... policy (insert correct word there maybe) that caffeine is alright but tea and coffee specifically are not, or is it just that you don't like tea or coffee? Or both?
Or is it something open for each person to decide?
-
caffeine is alright but tea and coffee specifically are not
Yes.
So is the Mormon... umm... policy (insert correct word there maybe)
Commandment. Referred to (in whole) as the Word of Wisdom. It's basically a set of dietary rules. No alcohol, no coffee, no tea, balanced diet, no recreational drugs, you get the idea.
-
The conspiracy theory used to be that the Mormon rules were written that way specifically to allow Coke, as the Mormon Church were huge investors in the Coca-Cola corporation. Not sure if that's still repeated around or not.

Well, considering the Word of Wisdom first came out in February 1833, and Coca-Cola (the drink) didn't exist until 1886, and the Coca-Cola company didn't exist until 1892 ...
Actually, I'll let you draw your own conclusions from that.

It needn't. Tea is a far superior source (even though it requires consumption of about double the volume of liquid).

This ground has been covered. I will reiterate for your said:
No tea.
