I’m confused now, because espresso is also coffee? Like, it’s all made from coffee beans. I agree that Americano is espresso with water, but to me that is absolutely a kind of coffee.

I guess I’ve never really thought of “black” as a type of coffee. Where I live black usually just means you don’t want any milk in whatever type of coffee you ordered.

an Americano is not a black coffee.

It is however, coffee that is black,

Hold on now, I’m not getting this. What meaning could “black coffee” possibly have other than a coffee that is black?

So that’s hot water that went through pressed coffee powder.

The “pressed” doesn’t refer to the coffee powder but to the water: the water is pressed through the coffee grounds using high pressure (around 9 bars or so).

Nah, that’s mostly stock options, so it doesn’t come out of the revenue. His cash salary was only a couple hundred thousand.

It’s probably better from a tax point of view. Plus he’s planning to cash out big on his own IPO, so he prefers the stock.

Does anyone know the history behind this dish? The name implies it’s Italian, but the amount of sauce and particularly heavy cream is kinda unusual to me for Italian cuisine.

I don’t know if phone call spam is only an American thing or something. In my country (and most of Europe) that stuff is effectively banned and doesn’t really happen.

Still hate getting calls though.

Is there any reliable source for this information? Or is it rumours only.

It was the beginning of the end, because they saw how much money they made on the horse armour vs how much effort it took to make it. It was actually generally criticized at the time, but it also sold really well.

WoW was like the iPhone of MMOs. Didn’t invent anything, just put it all together in a coherent, accessible, user friendly package.

But on a fundamental level, in the least instance admins have to be able to know who votes for our version of the system to even work compared to the competition.

Could you elaborate on this claim? Because I don’t really see why that would be true.

At the time, it held the record of most cars destroyed for a film. That has since been eclipsed various times, mainly by films from the fast and furious franchise. But the current record holder is one of the transformers films.

Dipping his toe? This man submerged himself so far he’s basically maga baptized.

This is basically correct but i would add sometimes it’s better to add chips than to add mult. For example, if your score is something like:

10 x 50 = 500

Adding +50 mult here would give you 10x100=1000 points. Adding +50 chips will give you 60x50=3000 points.

Adding to the lowest of the two numbers improves your score the most. Especially early game, mult is much lower than chips, so you want to improve mult. However once you have some good mult jokers improving chips becomes important. Especially in high card based decks, where you get very few chips from your hand.

If the multiplier jokers come in, the picture can change again. It makes adding mult more valuable because the addition will be multiplied.

The sad truth is that there are overriding geopolitical strategic interests behind the US support of Israel. The American executive power recognizes this, so military support is not going to go away as long as those interests are a concern.

They may pay some lip service to the whole genocide thing, but this is ultimately realpolitik. Human lives do not matter when they are not American.

Hydrogen is a Japanese government strategic initiative, they want to be world leaders in the technology so they’re encouraging Japanese companies to invest. And giving out hella subsidies too.

Abe was shot from just a few meters away though. Hard to miss at that distance (well, one would think. The assassin missed his first shot).

Wojak is a polish word that means something like “soldier” or “fighter.” Wojak images generally intend to convey someone in great pain, but dealing with it.

He didn’t say “most of the time” though. He said “always.”

Ironically though, I could see how a misogynist might conflate the two.
