Gotcha, personally I don't like it as I find it takes on a burnt flavor. I love maple syrup on lots of other things though.

The exact same thing your comment is based on.

It was a general comment on the duality of people's attitudes towards environmentalism. Didn't really mean to aim it at you specifically.

That demonstrates a fundamental ignorance of how electricity works.

Voltage is only half the power equation. The other half is current. Power = voltage x current

So if a kettle on 110V can draw twice the current, it will have exactly the same amount of power and will heat the water in exactly the same amount of time as a kettle on 220V that draws half the current.

People do shit like that but then they bought the brown coffee filters instead of the white ones so they're still saving the environment 🙄

I don't know if this was supposed to be a rebuttal or if you're just sharing what you like in your coffee, but maple syrup is literally sugar.

I'm pretty sure it also has to be contained in a pressure chamber too. If it's not, the steam just disperses into the atmosphere along with the excess heat.

You know it's possible to heat it up without boiling it.

But it still tastes worse after heating up. That's why dump hot chocolate mix in, like a real connoisseur!

This is a really popular take, but I think quite the opposite has happened actually: most people in media are a normal healthy weight, but they've been demonized as having "impossible" bodies, and I think a major driver of that is people who don't want to admit that their body is unhealthy. If you claim that a BMI of 22 is "ridiculously unhealthy" then you dont have to put any work in to lose weight; after all it's the standard that's wrong!

As far as the Greek statue thing goes, people just need to understand that they are on steroids. You can look like that too, if you want to juice.

Few things are as pathetic as preemptively whining about down votes.

Depending on the drink you've probably got a twofold addiction to sugar and also caffeine.

I don't get any kind of withdrawal symptoms from sugar, but if I don't have caffeine I start to get anxiety like that.

Not to mention many of these are literally still brand names and have not in fact been ruled generic.

Oh I see now they've made the generic ones dark grey.
