Used Aeron chair off craigslist. Besides being vastly more affordable than the retail alternative: $300, with options that would put it around $1k new.

I also have the satisfaction of knowing I almost certainly facilitated theft from a corporation, so that's nice.

Edit: was just gifted this blender. Seemed to get good reviews and fell into a reasonable pricepoint. Gotta beef up the protein shakes.

You can sous vide like 200 boiled eggs at the same time. That's useful at some point.

No picture but I spent $68 on being fingerprinted for a BCI & FBI background check so I can start a new job a week from Monday at a company that does IT support for K-12 schools.

Once it comes back clean I'll even get reimbursed for the cost :toot:

Well for one thing it doesn't blend at all!

It's a cooking device. You put it in a big pot of water and cook vacuum sealed short ribs for 2+ days at less than boiling temperatures and stuff.

Yes, but it also heats the water in the pot and controls its temperature.

Also the water has to get very hot to make espresso. Don't burn yourself!


But seriously, I got the girlfriend something similar. As long as the machine holds out for more than a couple years, it will pay for itself (versus Starbucks).

Today, I paid my friend's brother to replace my rotor's and brakes.

Yesterday my husband bought a Trek mountain bike. It was on sale for 600 bucks cause it was a 2014 model. I will be submitting it to my flex spending account, though. We also got him a pair of rx sunglasses and another pair of regular glasses, because tomorrow his company is switching insurance companies and all our benefits will be reset. Can't waste free glasses.

What you're thinking a macchiato is is not a macchiato. A macchiato is a double shot of espresso with a tiny bit of milk foam in it. I have no idea why Starbucks calls it that.

I was in a Starbucks once where I was able to order an actual macchiato. Once. Most of the time it takes significant effort to explain a double shot of espresso and a little bit of milk foam and actually get that from Starbucks. Hashtag first world problems.

I like* the Starbucks one and that keeps catching me out when I go to some (but not all) non-Starbucks.


quote:

Scores of people are passionate devotees of this signature beverage. So bewitched are they, you’d think it was some kind of magical elixir. Well there’s no hocus pocus here. We’ll tell you exactly what goes into it: creamy vanilla-flavoured syrup, freshly steamed milk with a topping of velvety-rich foam, an intense hit of our Espresso Roast, a finishing of buttery caramel drizzle … okay, we take it back. That does sounds like magic to us. (And it tastes even better.)

DID YOU KNOW
Macchiato is an Italian word meaning “marked.” So a latte macchiato is steamed milk marked with a little espresso, while a caffè macchiato is espresso marked with a little milk.

*I like the coffee, I am not fcuking 'bewitched' by it, you corporate marketing tosspots.
