It’s not chaotic at all imho, it’s most often pretty organized. The landing and takeoff area is off limits, but once in a while someone will end up there anyway.

Falcon and Rustard hating each other is the best thing that ever happened in BC Politics

Neoliberalism is just how social studies people call contemporary liberalism.

In politics and economics, this is what most people will understand as “liberal”. Not just some vague references to liberty like the dictionary meaning, neither classical liberalism from the 1850’s.

Good book. Surprisingly sympathetic to men, which makes the whole thing a lot more palatable to the target audience.

Great recommendation.

My main example is rooibos because at least it can make espresso-like strong brews, and is sold at some coffee shops here and there. But I personally prefer Mate too, though for cold drinks :-) And if I’m just in for some caffeine, black tea is the easiest to source (around here). Matcha latte is also growing in popularity! As well as London Fog.

I love all of these, but I’m one of those tea-adventurous coffee drinkers who care about the taste more than the caffeine.

Tldr climate apocalypse for the coffee plant might shift the market towards alternative plants. While technically true that coffee plantations will struggle in the coming years, this just means higher prices and worse average quality off the shelf.

A bit of nothing news, imho.

Coffee alternatives like rooibos are already here and the market is very resistant. Cheap coffee drinkers are irrationally attached to the bad taste they feel nostalgic for. Fancy coffee drinkers will absorb the higher costs without looking for alternatives. It’s only the tea-adventurous coffee drinkers that care about these innovations, usually due to caffeine consumption restrictions which is also a disputed market because decaf coffee quality is improving.

The “another” law in question

Graduated driving licences could see a minimum supervised learning period, curfews and a limit to the number of passengers new drivers can carry.

Of course reckless drivers who were going to drive drunk won’t respect these either, but also these are laws that can dissuade parents from giving/lending their cars. Surprisingly a bunch of parents are oblivious to their kids drinking and driving patterns, but a blanket ruling like this might help.

Never have I ever seen so many pickup trucks and SUV ads as I’m seeing today. Ford, built tough or something. Big truck is adventurous. Big truck is barbecue with a big block of meat. Ugh, disgusting.

Dark roast does have more caffeine per gram, because there are more beans per gram, because beans become lighter as roasting continues and more CO2 is released.

Counting caffeine per bean indeed darker roasts have less caffeine, but it’s a tiny tiny difference, so the effect of the whole bean getting lighter wins out when measuring caffeine per weight.

As for decaf, all methods affect taste. Swiss Water isn’t inherently better. Water is a chemical solvent. Is this an ad?

Agreed. I’m all in for a Starbucks once in a while, but even though they have great drinks, the roast level is the darkest I’ve ever seen. Saying it’s not “burned” may be technically correct but people don’t say that literally anyway, it means that the coffee characteristics are gone and only roast notes comes through, which is totally true.
