Fun fact, there's a sister program that basically works like a debit card, except you're not allowed to buy alcohol with it. However you are allowed to just get cash out like any other debit card, then use the cash to buy alcohol. Yes we are audited to make sure our code doesn't let you buy the alcohol directly, its important!!!

I'd post a photo of my new desktop, but they sent out email reminders this is currently a trade secret until it officially launched publicly later this month. SEND IT TO EVERY FURRY PORN ARTIST AND COMMISSION PORN AND SPREAD PORNIFIED LOGO OVER THE INTERNET

Shame Boy posted:Really the worst victim of that program is me, the person who has to write the software that implements the arbitrary stupid rules I remember when I worked at a hoagie place, you could use WIC to buy hoagies and, like, meatball sandwiches, but you weren't allowed to have them toasted. Because toasting them would count as cooking, and you while you can buy pre-cooked food, you couldn't buy food cooked on demand. There was no difference in cost. We would just have them reorder the sandwich untoasted and then toast it for them.

Seeing its arbitrary, cruel and stupid nature laid bare by having to deal with it intimately like this at least means that basically everyone on my team agrees it's a stupid fuckin' program and it would be much better to just give people money directly. Even the dude that leans right agrees on that, though with the added caveat of "it should be much harder to get in the first place" because lol.

ArmZ posted:the richest country in the world can't just give people food. loving garbage rear end country. While also spending mountains of cash on agricultural subsidies and throwing away mountains of food. Great system, good thing there's no alternative because it's perfect anyway. Gotta make sure there's a group of poor kids around to make fun of so the hierarchy is taught early and those on the top of it understand that their place has to be maintained and how do it. Antonymous posted:enumerated power to let the children gently caress themselves Enumerated power to ensure the rich can gently caress children. The whole reason humans formed hierarchical society is so that 1. A select group of families can parasitize the masses so they don't have to work and can live in splendor 2. So that select group can just dick down kids all day and it's illegal to do anything to them in retaliation because it's against the law and the will of God.

I think having more gear to carry around will make the troops better. I propose a Bible, a Torah, 10 copies of Atlas Shrugged and a biography of Musk or Obama (soldier's choice)

Survival in America requires colonial goods? I mean, I get how it fits with your history, but really? Also espresso has less caffeine than filter, because caffeine is among the last things to be extracted, and espresso is, well, fast.

AnimeIsTrash posted:comparing a 2 ounce drink to a 12 one ftw it's comparing the amount of caffeine extracted from a given amount of beans. if you want to be caffeine efficient (proletarian) cold extraction by just leaving beans in water for a long time is the thing to do. if can afford to be decadent then you go for high temp + pressure extraction.

I drink the americano because it's a nice hot beverage which is good in the morning, I can drink it over the course of half an hour and yes it's just 10% espresso 90% hot water. I only drink black coffee but starbucks is too heinous and americano is a viable substitute I do gig jobs with meals provided and when you do a smaller day, a meeting or a location scout or a test, you're going to be served starbucks. that's just the breaks. I can just refuse my compensation and bring my own North American Caffeinated Beverage or get a goddamn americano

I also love to have a hot black coffee and a cold orange juice if I'm at a diner and an America guy thought it was like toothpaste and orange juice. Diner coffee is bitter and hot and orange juice is cold and sweet and acidic. it rules. like a turkish bath for the tongue
