Most fruit is bred to be more sugary than necessary, because that’s how humans like it. They also have less fiber and protein as a result. Some zoos won’t even feed their chimps bananas anymore because they get diabetes and tooth decay from human-grade bananas.

It should be brewed at 195-205 F, just a bit higher than McDonalds served it.

But normally it would quickly cool down after it’s brewed. Any burning from reaching that temp is from a hot plate exceeding the temp and burning the bits of oil and soot that are in contact with the plate. Water, and I assume coffee, can’t be heated above boiling at 212 F anyway, but the hot plate and carafe or urn parts can, and steam can, and oil can.

Anyway I’m just saying it would be reasonable for fresh and good-tasting coffee to be in that temperature range. But it’s only going to stay there for any length of time if it’s burned on a hot plate or, more ideally, dripped directly into an insulated container.

It’s more likely their coffee tastes like shit because it was badly roasted, ground months ago, has since gone stale and bitter, and is full of unnecessary added chemicals and preservatives, just like the rest of their shit food.

I’ve used this argument unironically with creationists without realizing it was a thing. “If God is omnipotent, why couldn’t God create something that didn’t exist a moment ago but then comes into existence with billions of years of history.”

It’s just an attempt to at least get them to acknowledge science while still leaving room for faith, since carbon dating isn’t really up for debate and cosmology offers more than enough convincing evidence against a young universe, just to name two examples.

Anyway I thought I was being creative and original… guess not.

Just sell some of your other properties if you can’t afford that one.

He doesn’t need to court democrats. They vote for whoever they’re told to vote for.

His strategy is to assure the donor class that he won’t do too much for regular people so that they won’t withhold their money when they fund both candidates.

I had a college fitness class teacher who told us all on the first day, “I am really bad with names. You’ll need to remind me your name many times this semester. It’s not because I don’t care about you, I’m just very introverted and it’s something I struggle with.” It made me feel better about having the same problem and I’ve been using that line since.

Remember when you got to choose what you watch and you had to pick up a remote and look at it on a rectangle?
