Man, I stopped doing shots decades ago - if the stuff is good I can sip it, if it’s not good enough to sip what the hell am I even doing with my life? Decent alcoholic drinks are way too tasty to destroy my liver with bad ones.

That said, sipping instead of drinking it in one go doesn’t prevent me from getting it in the wrong pipe …

It’s extra fun when you’re drinking alcohol.

Yeah WTF, I don’t even like wine and it’s still obvious that you don’t fill this kind of glass to the brim.

ty!

I’d assume that most governments (other than the US) don’t have easy access even if E2EE in WhatsApp etc. is a sham - these companies are definitely intent on keeping the pretense up, and smaller countries aren’t able to disprove it.

“cootie catcher programming” … ?

Count yourself lucky if a single guy has separate towels for handwashing and showering/bathing.

It looks like people don’t know this series well enough to know that it’s meant to be satirical.

Weirdly, I do the opposite - I collect bottles that are simple, lightweight and a practical shape (i.e. cylindrical instead of bulbous, not to too tall, not too squat) and there’s a decent chance that I’ll decant liquor that comes in an extravagant bottle (though the bottles I’m most likely to decant are those that are too tall for my shelves or contain 1l - that’s just a lot of weight when you want to pour exactly 20 ml).

To real. Pretty good chance that when I do want to write something (e.g. birthday cards), my pen is dried up and it’s a whole thing to make it write well again …

Man, I gotta make the trip to our local unpackaged goods store. One of these days …

Oof. I also have a couple of really good bottles … I sometimes use them for premade cocktails or when I buy a bottle of spirit or wine that really needs a better container.

I often hand off carts to other customers instead of bringing them back. Saves time for both of us. Helps that the carts in my local supermarket don’t have a deposit, which probably means that my area is quite privileged (cart deposits are almost universal in my country).

I found that even when you can see the image, alt-text often helps significantly with understanding it. e.g. by calling a character or place by name or saying what kind of action is being done.

Politicians are very much our problem.

Public opinion has a pretty big influence on who is getting voted into public offices. Ignore at your own peril.

There was large scale fighting in the streets between communists, social democrats and nazis. Unfortunately, communists and social democrats weren’t much more friendly to each other than to the nazis. Hitler was elected with about 32% of the votes - he never had a majority, only a plurality, but in contrast to how the AfD (a German nazi party) is treated today the other parties could not agree on a different chancellor.

The americanos I’ve had were about the same volume as a regular filter coffee. And even if there was a difference in volume, it wouldn’t matter - “black” vs “with milk” only refers to whether you add any amount of milk.

No, that wouldn’t be “rightful”. It’s common knowledge that soy milk, oat milk, coconut milk and scouring cream (Scheuermilch in German) don’t contain cow milk. And it was never an issue when coconut milk was the only alternative milk-like product that was widely available.

No, you can easily take espresso-based beverages “black”, too. Or rather, you can easily make them not-black by adding milk, which is pretty common for americanos.
