Rum, hot chocolate, and miso paste is a winning combination.

Let me guess, use your promo code MOTTE for 15% off at checkout?

Sorry, I missed the club soda at the end.

I'm going to make that first one but it's hardly a "fizz".

I wouldn't bat an eye at someone claiming that brands that are doing that are trying to normalize mastectomies. I'd be skeptical of a claim that they're doing that to propitiate Baal.

It would be weird to think that they're doing that to get people to eat bugs (which restaurants aren't doing) instead of thinking that they're doing that because they offer tofu (which they are doing). Bugz on the brain?

Really, restaurants around you are selling bugs?

A better example would have been how the T at the beginning of “ten” is a completely different sound than the T at the end of “net”. (You make the former sound by touching your tongue to the part of your mouth right behind your teeth, but you make the latter sound by closing your vocal folds, no tongue involved at all.)

Are you a bong or something? Both of those are /t/ for me.

I'm a simple guy but for my money the moka pot makes a nice strong coffee that I can dump a bunch of milk into for something approaching a latte with espresso.

the same way English speakers think of the voiceless th at the start of "think" and the voiced th at the start of "then" as the same sound because they're written the same.

Of course we don't think of these sounds as the same - it's the difference between "teeth" and "teethe".

It's difficult to imagine that pre-reform Russian orthography would have prevented much higher rates of literacy. English famously has ridiculous orthography ("waiter, I'll have the ghoti") and high literacy. A few additional Russian characters and weird spelling rules is not even close to the insanity of Chinese orthography, and they still have high literacy despite the fact that their system is insane even after "simplification".

The 4chan guy is probably a close second in terms of sheer output though.

I realize that you're the lawyer and I'm not, but I didn't think that harassing people (as we see in these videos) is constitutionally protected.

flair go

It's hilarious that this comes in a coffee pod version. Who is the target demographic for that?

Europeans refuse to invest any money defense, they just keep trying to guilt us into paying for it.

EU defense spending has been growing for 11 years and is now at least at 20 year highs.

I realize that you've blocked me and won't read this, but I am sure that even trump realizes that Greenland is covered in (on average) 1500 meters of ice, with basically just the coasts actually ice free. Any kind of mining operation would be insanely expensive.

Pretty common IME for gas stations to offer cash discounts. Much rarer among other businesses though.

My man, the oldest millennials are mid 40s.

The number of highly respected boomers I loved who have calcified is high.

It's not even boomers. I'm seeing people in their mid 40s that are gaining the befuddled NPC look that I usually associate with boomers. Take note incels, that's the real wall, and the men are in danger of smashing into it too.

I highly recommend reading the article I posted in order to refute this claim rather than demanding evidence without reading the evidence I already provided.

Here's one relevant excerpt.

We're looking at figure D, from the paper interchange income minus reward expenses, graphed against FICO score. And the upshot of this graph is that there is no part of the FICO score spectrum at which issuers continually rebate more rewards to customers than they earn in interchange.

That credit cards earn revenue on interest does not imply that rewards are funded from interest payments.

The article does not agree with PokerPirate's claim. It quite clearly explains that rewards are financed from interchange fees.

This is not how it works.
