Surprised that Club-Mate hasn’t been mentioned yet, I’m not German so I didn’t discover it till more recently but I quite like it, not as sugary as other drinks

Is the word “KILL” not allowed here?

I agree, superior brewing methods were invented more than 50 years ago 😉

Electric drip Brewers and paper filters for coffee making are European things. The only ‘American’ brewing method I can think of is using an aero press or maybe instant coffee.

Not a polymer but an amorphous solid like many polymers; I believe she popped that nugget while explaining crystallinity and glass transitions. She was quite knowledgeable otherwise but that little false factoid must have slipped through.

It’s also not the reason church windows are thicker at the bottom, a common myth that my ex-colleague with a PhD in polymer chemistry(!) somehow bought into

Haha no I only knew it could probably only be Irvine and it got me curious so I had to look it up :)

Must have been '98 with Eddie Irvine, and Cinque Terre. 👌🏻

Or… ask the staff for a menu, order with them, respectfully let them know how you feel about the qr/app thing (unlikely it was their decision to implement but they can pass on the complaint), and if they’re unwilling to take your order (which is hopefully unlikely at this point) feel free to make a little stink (if you feel inclined) and walk out. Still ok to complain on your blog about being spammed with the app but I’d rather try the obvious options first rather than expect the owners to heuristically discover via non-returning customers that we really don’t want the app.

That is, if the coffee/food/service is good, otherwise yea fuck em
