@Parody I’m torn between posting the “venti” (role models) clip and the “nobody talks like that” (louder milk) clip.
So I guess today is make-your-own-shitpost day.
My quick search led me to this Reddit post. I was going to grab one at random from it for an example, but I don't understand enough of their language to be able to figure out how much actual coffee is involved.
-
@Parody 4 shots of espresso: 2 before the chocolate and almond milk (and some of the other ingredients), then 2 after.
-
@Parody all of this sounds like half a liter of sugar with ice cream and a side of heart attack to me. But then I don’t even drink regular coffee, so .

Are you drinking coffee or a milkshake?
-
@DogsB me? I drink tea, thank you very much. But I know enough Starbucks coffee fiends to speak their language and interpret.

How does that compare to, say, a cup of black coffee? My one pair of parents go through a few 12-cup carafes of that every day.

A Starbucks Venti Americano is 4 shots of espresso.
-
@Parody it’s hard to compare. A shot of espresso is intended for one of those teeny little cups, and is more concentrated than regular coffee.
I’d guess that the average mug has between 8 and 10 shots by volume, but for any other characteristic that depends hugely on the beans and other factors (e.g. comparative caffeine amounts)
-
@Arantor
but espresso normally contains less caffeine then slower brewed types

You'll never get me to part with my frying pan and crockpot.
It's going to replace oven, freezer and washing machine, all at once?

@Luhmann a quick internet search suggests that while there’s less caffeine in a 2-shot espresso than a regular mug of coffee, there’s also typically less volume to drink as well… caffeine per volume of liquid varies tremendously.
Eh, I don’t drink coffee, I just speak barista.

@topspin damn, here goes my plan to get rich without working!

And you don't even have enough shame to keep that quiet. So much wrong with the world today.
-
@Arantor Caffeine-per-container varies a lot for both filter coffee and espresso. I suspect the brew I'm having right now is towards the upper end of the range-per-cup of filter... and I mostly avoid espresso-based drinks because I don't care for the taste so much.

It’s the Mail, it’ll say anything if it thinks it can get away with it. I have no shortage of withering commentary but it’s all territory.

I love the Mail. It's been the same for about two decades and the stereotype really is true. Never change!

My local grocery stores still have a place on their shelf for Tetley, but that space has been empty for at least a couple of months. I just obtained some Red Rose for the first time in a long time. The only "local" retailer that carries it is Walmart, and (at least the last time I shopped there, which has been a couple of years) it's not actually available locally; it's only available online, and that's not even from Walmart itself, but from a third-party seller through the marketplace. However, I found that Red Rose sells directly to consumers online, and you can even specify which of the little Wode ceramic figures you want. The shipping is a bit expensive unless you buy a bunch; it's flat-rate, so you can amortize the shipping cost over a several month supply.
I had Red Rose for afternoon tea yesterday, and I'm drinking it this morning.

Forget the air fryer; there’s a new must-have cooking gadget on the market. At less than 30cm square — smaller than most microwaves — it would look at home in a child’s play kitchen, yet it’s supposedly the only appliance you need.
The fact that it's smaller than most microwaves already means I can't use it for lots of stuff. At least you didn't put this in the cooking thread.

How is that different than a toaster oven?

Learning that would require reading TFA.

Toby Faire, they have a reasonable set of puzzle pages. Just not good enough to justify buying the rest of that deranged dreck.

@DogsB nah. He’s just following the crowd who recently published this “objective review scorecard” that despite being objective doesn’t understand that other genres exist than “things a bit like Horizon Zero Dawn”.

He's been British? What is he now? Is he done being British, or is he still? What other nationalities has he been?

@DogsB Was he dreaming of work, or just dreaming at work?

Dreaming of a great pay check.

Also, nice system that assumes the company is guilty
Mr Oasidrowski is expected to give evidence at a later stage, as the respondent bears the onus of proof and must conclude its case first.

Well, obviously, it is not designed for American, but for British food.
Smaller quantity is a feature!

I thought it was the Achilles tendons which have to be trained for flat-footed deep squatting.

reading the article seems they got a very accelerated version of all the complains of old people against the internet in the last 20 years, compressed to a month. they'll be fine (or extinct, whatever comes first)
