I currently work as a barista, but I’ve also previously been a pharmacy assistant in a methadone clinic for recovering opioid addicts.
Honestly apart from the paperwork and the stakes involved if one messes up, the jobs are pretty similar.

Unless you’re buying used (or you really know what you’re doing), you’ll get way better coffee out of the Aeropress than the espresso machine for that price
Of course, the point is moot when you could make coffee just as well in a cheap plastic Aeropress.
Thatcherface will never not make me laugh.
Personally, I think refraining from distributing genocidal propaganda is pretty functionally dissimilar to being a bigot.
I don’t want to come off as abrasive and I don’t want to assume any ill-intent on your part, but it’s fucking frustrating hearing takes like this as a trans person. Equating the refusal to participate in a hateful disinformation campaign to refusing to marry a gay couple is deifying the liberal concepts of law & order at the expense of human decency. It is not hypocrisy to support anti-fascist actions whilst denouncing fascist actions, even if they express those actions in a similar fashion. For example, I largely support Just Stop Oil’s disruptive protests, whereas I would be disgusted if fascists defaced artworks by spray-painting swastikas all over. Is that hypocritical?
Again, sorry if I come on strongly in this comment, my frustrations are definitely from society at large rather than your comment, but having your right to exist being framed as a “political belief” is frankly exhausting.
Jackfruit! You can use it to make a mean vegan pulled “pork”, it’d be great on a BBQ pizza.
Barista here, I do latte art even on the to-go orders for two reasons;
Practice, it’s a lot less stressful to practice new techniques or variations on latte art when you know you’ll cover it up with a lid, so who cares if it’s messed up?
It’s fun!
You never knowingly met a Linux user. Statistically speaking, you probably have.
The issue is that OS-preference is not very common as a small talk topic. This is why you should name drop your fav distro in every conversation.
I work in a café, so I really only pay for my coffee on my days off.
I average maybe half a pound of beans per month for home brewing, so let’s say $20 for a nice bag from a local roaster (in Canada-bucks). Ten or so dollars in V60 filters is enough to last me most of a year, so add a dollar a month. I also like checking out cafés, so add $15/$20 in random café visits, and I’d typically spend anywhere from $20 to $40ish per month.
Using the name of a place to refer to its residents is super common and widely-understood. It’s a form of metonym.
Another example of metonymy would be “White House cracks down on crime”, obviously the White House is a building and cannot enforce laws. “White House” in this situation is a metonym for the President and/or their administration.
Hope this helps clear up your confusion! 😊
What happens to chicks is an intrinsic part of egg farming, though.
You don’t need even near the amount of male hatchlings that get produced for reproductive purposes. The vast majority of male chicks on egg farms get ground up.
Also, from an animal rights standpoint, “hey we don’t kill all of them, we need some males in order to subjugate their offspring to cruel conditions!” is more of an argument against egg farming than for it.
Government when funding public transit: multiple feasibility studies, public opinion surveys, town hall meetings
Government when funding car infrastructure: “Eh fuck it, plop it down and we’ll figure it out later”
EndeavourOS is my life self-censoring to be nice.
I’m pretty sure PRR refers to the Pennsylvania Railroad Company in this context.
I was reading, thinking “this is definitely New Brunswick” before recognizing your username :P
I’m originally from Bathurst, hotboxing a Honda Civic in the McDonald’s parking lot was essentially a rite of passage.
Sidenote: the culture of driving stoned and/or drunk is so crazy prevalent around here. I was pretty reckless as a teenager, thankfully I now know better but a lot of people I knew back then never grew out of it.
Kubernetes can also be known as K8s
So many posts at /c/selfhosted@lemmy.world make a lot more sense to me now, thanks!
This reminds me of turning a sphere inside out.
I love weird theoretical stuff like this that seems to have no practical, real world applications.
I find it so cool that you’ve been vegan for 24 years, as a younger vegan (7 years) I thank you for suffering through groceries with one brand of soy milk and maybe some tofu (if you’re lucky) so that we can live in this world were I have access to vegan fudgesicles at the local grocery store.
I’m curious though, because veganism has definitely been a point of contention in my past few relationships; how do you and your wife manage meals? Do you do separate meals, or is it more of a “she’s vegan at home” type situation?
A YouTuber I quite like, Tom Nicholas, recently made a video going undercover with Just Stop Oil. Warning, it’s an hour long video, but he has interesting analysis of JSO’s actions and he includes the perspective of their members as to why they do what they do.
