Are we talking about what coffee drinkers say they want or what they actually do when they have coffee and a table full of creamers and sugar in front of them? I think a lot of people like the idea of a hot, strong, black coffee. They just like the taste of warm, sweet sugary coffee.

I think people just like to make "I like my coffee like I like my men/women" jokes (in my case, "drowned in milk and sugar and stored in the freezer")

I drink coffee black But I add an ice cube to it because I like to drink it right away and not wait a half hour for it to cool down enough not to scald my mouth.

While I was transitioning into the life of the working man with coffee available in the office, I had a lady I worked with confront me on my use of sugar and cream. She told me "UFO, you don't like coffee, you like ice cream". I took it as an insult and from that day forward started drinking it black. I now prefer it that way as it tastes kind of nasty with sugar and cream in it now.

That lady sounds rude. I usually use half+half and a bit of sugar but if the blend is good I'll just use a bit of sugar. Our office gets a different one to try every month, it's pretty nice. I don't know poo poo about coffee really except that it's free and doesn't taste like poo poo here, and that I love our Keurig machine at home.

It does tend to leave a little bit of sludge, but the amount you end up with is based on how your coffee is ground. Ideally you need to keep it a lot more course than drip coffee, a lot of cheap electric grinders can't even do it. I use a hand grinder because I'm not paying $150 for an electric. e: Grind it more coarse too ChristsDickWorship fucked around with this message at 20:33 on Jul 2, 2014 |

European espresso is fricking delicious when black. But I guess that's for wimps. Watered down American drip coffee is intolerable black. The best coffee I ever had though was from a street vendor in Dar es Salaam. It was dark, thick, and I had to give the cup back when I finished. It was also the cheapest coffee I ever had.

Well I hate to interrupt coffee chat, but I think Michael Savage might be my new favorite right wing radio guy. I was just listening to him and he said that the current flood of immigrants at the border is the "the gravest ever threat to the survival of this nation" and if I wasn't completely delusional when I was hearing this, he said it was the largest and most serious foreign invasion in history. All deliberated orchestrated by Obama of course. I guess he thinks that diseases from these immigrants are going to destroy the White Race like what happened to the American natives. "Do you realize what's going to happen when your daughter comes home with her head crawling with lice?!" He followed this up by saying "I know you're going to call me a racist, or a this-ist, or a that-ist, but you're wrong. I'm not any kind of 'ist'. I'm an epidemiologist. I'm an epidemiologist by training.  "This stuff is just brilliant. I guess this is timed to coincide with the imminent muslim world takeover and institution of sharia law on a planetary scale that he likes to talk about. Also deliberately orchestrated by Obama of course.

Sometimes an article title just speaks volumes to your reader base quote:Twitter accounts dedicated to marijuana use are more likely than not to extol the smoking of weed, celebrate its terminology and paraphernalia, recommend the advantages of having sex while high, praise the calming and/or restorative effects of a nice fat blunt - and are also especially popular with potheads in the 17 to 19 demographic, musicians and basketball fans, a study from the Washington University School of Medicine in St Louis, MO, has found. http://www.breitbart.com/Breitbart-London/2014/07/02/Shock-new-US-study-dope-smokers-smoke-dope-like-basketball-and-listen-to-rap-music Mr Ice Cream Glove fucked around with this message at 21:00 on Jul 2, 2014 |

Mr Ice Cream Glove posted:Sometimes an article title just speaks volumes to your reader base That sounds like interesting research. It's good that government grants are funding a chance for researchers to practice their techniques. I'm guessing this research might be especially useful because some of the conclusions are things you'd conclude are "obvious." It makes it easier to tell if the research methods are useful. If they had found that the followers of that twitter feed were middle aged suburban mothers, we might need to seriously reevaluate some assumptions. I hope they continue to do research on twitter. It might be a very important and easy to observe medium for the transmission of cultural capital. Maybe we could use it to track antivax believers to find potential epidemic hotspots that need extra outreach for vaccination. Maybe we can use twitter to track for correlations in breastfeeding vs formula use or any number of public health concerns. We're not automatically going to know how to do that. Let's prepare for our exploration of the deep wilderness by first testing our tools in the relatively well mapped areas of stoner culture.

He said, "they didn't build it as a tourist site for Michelle Obama, they built it to keep the Mongols out." He failed to mention that the Mongols got in anyway and established one of the most powerful and stable dynasties in Chinese history.

cheese posted:It really is a mystery while Republicans can't seem to get those "single ladies" to vote for them when you have guys like that word for word saying that "they make up 1/4 of the voting demographic and they depend on the government for health control, birth control"..."because they don't have husbands to depend on". Just wow. I think part of the problem is that the Republican party is pissed off that they need those single ladies. I get the impression that a significant portion of the political right is furious that they can no longer saddle up and ride white males into the halls of power. Women have been voting in this country for 94 years, you'd think everyone would be used to it, by now.

These people are literally the worst this country has to offer [Tea Party/Protesters], and I will actually say immigrants are some of the best. I keep thinking of the greater political scope of this. I always get the vibe that republicans like to play the blame game shifting problems about the economy or any number of things on Minorities, Women and everything else they dislike in their 1860's-like mindset. A candidate for president literally blamed Homosexuality as the cause for our weak economy. loving pathetic.

You find somebody or something to blame and you focus a powerful and/or large sector of your society into hating them mercilessly. It takes less effort and leads to more influence than, you know, actually fixing the drat problems. How much islamophobia and homophobia do we still hear these days?
