Bingo, I think you nailed it. Starbucks wants to sell you those fancy syrupy latte caramel drinks, and to get any coffee flavor at all after they add all the sugary sweet gunk and cream, they need a super dark roast.

If you just want coffee, not a desert-in-a-cup, go anywhere else. Your local indy coffeehouse, for example.

Simply not true. Beneficial effects of coffee have been known for decades. This work is simply confirming what previous studies have already shown.

This mostly isn't new, just confirming what has been seen in studies going back decades https://time.com/4116129/coffe...

But an important question is, what do they define as a "cup"?

Years back, a "cup" of coffee was defined as a teacup, maybe five ounces. When I drink coffee, I use a coffee mug, which is perhaps twice the size of a teacup. Maybe more, for some of the extra-large coffee mugs.

I took a quick scan through the paper, searching on "cup", but didn't see an actual cup volume given.

Yeah... but interesting (and even potentially useful) spam. They are really cool vehicles; I'd want one even if they weren't solar.

Of course, the company has been promising them for years...

I know what I told you. I told you that, for a start, read the IPCC working group 1 report "The Physical Science Basis of Climate Change".

The way you can tell when people who claim to be skeptics aren't, is that when you tell them where to find the answer to their questions they don't want to hear it.

I have never tried to sell AGI. (And I most certainly don't think large language models are AGI, or are ever going to evolve into AGI or anything like it.)

Exactly. Moose don't care, and there are few humans.

Yes, SOME people in the US live west of their solar time. But the comment I was replying to said most US population centers are in places east of the point in their time zones.

You missed the word "regularly," which I helpfully highlighted so you would notice it. Not one every month.

Well, this particular discussion is about a (not yet enacted) law concerning DST in the United States, and none of the states are in the topics except Hawaii, which does not use DST.

The sun does not reach its zenith at 12:00.

If you defined noon as the time of the sun reaching its zenith, days would no longer be the same length. Days in northern hemisphere winter would be slightly longer than 24 hours, and days in northern hemisphere summer would be shorter, due to the difference between sidereal time and solar time.

When the daylight hours are short in winter, you have to pick some time in which it's darkness. If it's light during the morning commute, it will be dark during the evening commute.

This depends on how far north you are, of course.

"Permanent Daylight Savings Time" is a misnomer.

What it actually is, is that the standard time in every location in the US is shifted one time zone to the west, and the clocks stay on standard time all year.

Unless I'm misreading the map, on the East coast, the EST time zone is pretty much centered on where it should be, with New York very slightly east and Washington DC very slightly west of center. The main problem with EST is that it extends west to the city limits of Chicago, while it should change to CST around Toledo.

If anything, most of the population in the US is slightly to the western edge of the time zones, not the east.

Secretarial jobs were already cataclysmically wiped out by the word processing/computer revolution. It's hard to remember anymore how ubiquitous secretaries were to businesses.

However, turns out that this previous revolution didn't reduce the workforce, because the number of IT support personnel required increased directly as the number of secretaries decreased.

In this case, OP was correct. The FTC action against John Deere was filed during the Biden administration when Lina Khan was FTC chair.
