Saturday Morning Coffee Break

(H/T ALH)

I can't argue with that meme. Good morning Horde.

***

People aren't the only creatures which need coffee.

***

I love dark roast coffee. And now Dark Roast is found to be good for you. (H/T CBD)

Conclusions: Our results indicate that regular consumption of a dark roast coffee blend has a beneficial protective effect on human DNA integrity in both, men and women.

***

Opine. Bloviate. Hey, it's an open thread, just be kind to one another. And one last request, have a nice weekend!

39 Good morning, Hordelings! Dark roast for me too. Altho I found some k-cup pods that are labeled as medium roast but they are quite robust. Chock Full of Nuts - Midnite Manhattan. These are mesh bottom pods.

I prefer fresh ground - from freshly roasted beans that I buy from a local company. And I recently devised a good way to brew freshly ground coffee in a refillable k-cup pod.

In my part of Louisiana they've pretty much given up. Went to the grocery store yesterday and the sign at the door had been changed to "Masks Encouraged". Went inside and there was a cop standing by the customer service desk with no mask on. A lot of places are still making employees do it but a lot of other people have just dropped it.

I understand these days, after choking down chow while taking fire one is to call for a 'time out' and police up the wrappers and such making sure to separate the true trash from recyclable materials. Helos are called in to remove all recyclables and have priority over medevac, resupply and reinforcement. Then call 'time in' and hostilities resume.

Darker roasts do have less caffeine than lighter ones. But I'm the other way around; I know that there's less caffeine, but I'd rather drink dark than light. Light is unsatisfying, dark is just more substantial. I just drink more of it.

Mostly cream and sugar in mine and a slice of apple pie. Plus for the first time, I was included in the conversation--like the other adults. This was my coming of age and acceptance, and has never been forgotten.

So I'm off to the supermarket, where I do NOT have to wear one because Kroger's dropped it. But if I wanted to stop at the liquor store next door, they have giant signs up saying "We follow the SCIENCE! You STILL need to COVER YOUR FACE and this includes your NOSE. If you can't comply, you can't come in!"

That one's been hysterical mask N*zi's all along. Then I'm hopping on the bus, where I will have to wear a tard rag (The lifting of the mandate specifially exempted public transportation.) When I get to Famous Footwear to buy a new pair of sneakers - who knows? I'll have to stand there trying to read all the signs on the door and figure it out.

Which is like I said, right back to where we were just before the mandate.

If that exists, it might come after they get everyone used to regular injections ... kinda doubt they did it to everyone without permission.

Ballot initiatives are the way lefties get things passed like abortion laws and bike paths and environmental rules no one wants but a few liberals in one city in county - you know, the places where they run elections and cheat anyway. Now Republicans are passing laws against ballot initiatives - 'direct democracy' as a sadden NYT sniffs. Hopefully electoral division by districts will be next.

179 I always kind of liked chicory coffee as an occasional alternative, but I can't have it anymore. I do the LOW-Fodmap diet for IBS and chicory is strictly forbidden. As is inulin which comes from chicory.

Medium roast, tiny splash of milk, just enough to make it off-black, done up in a percolator if I have time (usually on weekends) or a regular ol' coffee maker if I don't. Not a keurig fan.

My thought is, that since liquor stores were deemed essential right from the get-go, and with people drinking more than ever during covidiocy, his business thrived while so many others were failing. He lucked out and now feels invincible. Never lost much if any biz, and in fact it probably picked up. So he feels free to indulge his inner totalitarian. And I will feel free to go elsewhere!

Not really. I saw it on an episode of Gunsmoke (the one with Buddy Ebsen). After his wife burned down their house and barn in order to win him back from the husband-stealing neighbor widow, she made beanhole beans and invited Marshall Dillon and Chester to join them.

Apparently it's a Dutch oven buried in a deep hole in the ground over a deep bed of coals, covered with dirt and slow-cooked overnight. Yankee beans, fatback, onions, molasses and mustard seem to be the typical ingredients.

270 Public mask update: I went to Costco this morning. The same CDC masking requirement signage was up but was not enforced and not all employees were masked. Unfortunately, I'd estimate ~2/3rds of customers were masked. Sad.

After having watched a video of a doctor doing the same yesterday, I took a deep drag from an e-cig and exhaled whilst wearing a mask. Doing so is probably the most effective demonstration as to why mask mandates of the general public are worthless.

272 I researched the mRNA vaccine and decided no thanks, because

1) This is the first of its kind vaccine ever released to the public.

2) This is the first vaccine released without finishing phase trials and following the typical 5 year period to ascertain its efficacy and safety.

3) mRNA is fragile and can fuck up your DNA if it breaks down prematurely.

4) Scientists are apparently divided on whether it can change DNA, but assure us the vaccine itself doesn't. I would have like to have seen that it absolutely unconditionally is IMPOSSIBLE for it to change DNA, not ehhhh, maybe it could, maybe it can't, but it's still safe, for realsie!

5) The government and Karens want me to take it, therefore the government and Karens can go fuck themselves.

So Chester said, "Golly Mister Dillon! Why I ain't had bean-hole beans since I cain't remember when."

But the timing seems off. The ruins of the house and barn were still smoking, suggesting that the fire had been burning as recently as just this morning, but bean-hole beans have to cook in the ground overnight, so she must have started the beans BEFORE torching the farm. Smacks of premeditation rather than a crime of passion. And who the hell tries to win back their husband by burning down the farm? I call shenanigans!

Putting a kid in a 14 year old is a classless move, it puts a LOT of pressure on the female socially, economically, and developmentally.

A Kennedy would have bludgeoned her to death, drowned her, coerced her into an abortion, or simply walked away and fixed the lawsuits for paternity.

If you want a return to normalcy we need to win a lot of politics between here and there.

Imagine being told in 1981 that the Federal government would have as its baseline position that illegal immigrants are a higher moral resident than citizens, that criminals should be released because of the flu, and that you will be imprisoned for being angry at the political class.

I mean I am not even bringing up the east things like "the feds will have a tranny recruiting new members on their dime on PBS" or the other sh*t...

We have a lot of work to do.

330 I hate coffee. Never liked it (except in a few rare cases), can taste it's specific bitterness in very minute amounts if it in food. Wife once invited me to her work for an icecream cake; I said it had coffee, she said no way; it was near the bottom of the list of ingredients. It's funny, since just about all family members around me like it except for one niece that is the same way. Not that I didn't drink it in the past if I needed the caffeine.

I've mentioned here that my honor lit teacher groomed and married a student when he was 50.

Somehow the democrat dominated school system did not see fit to destroy him or even remove him from teaching.

I am inclined to agree, it should not be one's first instinct when done debauching a partner to tuck them in and make the hot cacao.

Where I come from the main practitioners of "September-May romance" are educators, judges, and actors.

They are all also the ones who preach at me the hardest on "morality."

That's pretty funny, but it has to be a setup. There is no way that particles thousands of times smaller than the microwave wavelength used for Bluetooth could in anyway self-organize into a Bluetooth module.
