merk can i suggest a pair of mjeggings?

man jeggings are super comfortable and great, as a tall slim man myself who is slightly expanding with age into the coveted 'dadbod' i can heartily recommend these classy pieces of menswear.

Speaking of coffee, here's a story about how a drink called Moscow Mule came to be:

It was the year 1850ish AD, somewhere near the Latvian-Russian border, 200 miles outside of a city called Moscow.
Oksana Smirnoff lived with her lovely dad, Pyotr on a farm in a rural village. Oksana had a lot of free time seeing as she was an only child and her dad was a drunk and a thief. So one day little Oksana decides to get a little crazy while her dad is out plowing the cows or whatever it is farmers do. You see, Pyotr had a little side hobby of sticking some potatoes into a big pot and letting them ferment and get all nasty, then sucking some sort of water out of them that tastes funny and makes you dizzy. Oksana liked the feeling of drinking the dizzy water, but didn't care for the taste too much so she wouldn't really partake. Plus her dad said that she would be sold to the gypsys if she ever stole any so she was pretty terrified. Well now that she was almost 30 it was time to be a grown up and stand up to dad.
So Oksana got some dizzy water and some of her own copper cups from her room, and looked around the kitchen and the farm for things to add in. They had some mint growing outside near the porch, and she used the last of their ginger and ground it all up and mixed it with the dizzy water and BAM. Oksana had unknowingly created one of the most tastey beverages in history.
Now as the story goes, Pyotr came home from working the fields all day and found his beautiful baby daughter sleeping in the pig sty, copper mug still in hand. Well one sniff of that copper mug is all it took for Pyotr to put Oksana on the first train to Riga. Oksana was devastated for betraying her father, and disappeared after many years in seclusion.

Stayed tuned for part 2: How Oksana got her booze back.

i dont get this joke. i like tall girls, yes? do starbucks only hire tall girls?

ugh no i don't want your HFCS thanks. slightly molassesy sugar is perfect for coffee

The syrup I'm talking about contains no sugar, it's a sugar substitute.

When I make coffee at home I use sugartwin, if I just go to a regular coffee shop that won't have those kinds of sugar-free syrups I use whatever sugar-free sweetener they have which is usually splenda.

I find aspartame in some forms has a weird aftertaste (especially in diet drinks), but can't taste the difference between sucralose and sugar, even as a raw powder.

The links between cancer and artificial sweeteners doesn't exist in any practical way. Turns out if you give rats an abnormally large amount in a short period of time it can increase their risk of cancer, but even those studies are scrutinized as not really being a clear link. It's on the same level of pseudoscience as cell phones causing cancer.

Actually Asiina statistically there is a 50 percent chance that aspertame ends up giving you cancer

Also I've tried bagels here but they are not very good. I keep just wishing for a nice sourdough every time I get one.

Has America been able to invent proper coffee yet? IE the flat white?
The only place I know of that makes flat whites here is Starbucks :sparkles:
