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.

Beverly Hills - Weezer

I actually quite like Weezer, but goddamn that song drives me nuts for some reason I can't put my finger on. A close second is Bubbly - Colbie Caillat, in large part because of the line "I get the tingles in a silly place". It's such a deranged way to say you're horny.

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.

I was talking about the NB election in reply to the other commenter's mention of the upcoming elections here. Sorry, I could have made that clearer since the thread is about a separate upcoming election.

My go-to is MF DOOM's Special Herbs, which are compilations of his beats without the rapping.

My continued existence pisses off fascists.

I'm vegan, non-binary (with dyed hair), car-free, a member of a linguistic minority, poor, and many other things that make conservatives think the world would be better off without me. I strive to survive mostly to spite these fuckers.

I'm very left, so I have historically always voted Green in provincial elections (I'm a big fan of David Coon, at least as far as I can be a "fan" of a politician).

However, I'm considering voting Liberal for the first time in my life since my riding is tightly contested between the Lib candidate and the incumbent Conservative. I absolutely despise both strategic voting and the provincial Liberal Party, but not nearly as much as I loathe Higgs and his crew.

I'm non-binary, have many queer & trans friends, including some who do drag. I'm also francophone. NB under a Conservative government is dangerous for my loved ones and I. Especially since we're basically guaranteed a Conservative victory I'm the next federal elections, I have night terrors at the idea of Premier Higgs and PM Poilievre.

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.

Ooo I can only imagine TMBG live would be such a fun time, I'm jealous!

It's extra fun when you're bisexual and non-binary!

Most expressions of attraction towards me are from "straight" drunk guys telling me I'm cute "for a guy" 😅

I've tried both ways and didn't really note any differences. If anything, unpressed might've had a slightly better texture.

I find for crumbled or smaller pieces of tofu, pressing doesn't do much. It's really more for when you have bigger chunks and want to marinate it, in my experience.

For a savory breakfast, my go-to is tofu scramble. I keep my spices premixed in a mason jar so it's really easy. Oil in a pan, crumble up the tofu, add spices and a can of black beans. If I'm feeling fancy or have veggies I want to use up, I'll fry those up a bit before adding the tofu.

For dessert-breakfast, (vegan) waffles with maple syrup and fresh strawberries is my Saturday morning staple.

If anyone's curious, here's the spice mix I use for my tofu scramble (quantities listed are good for around 6-8 blocks of tofu):

4 Tbsp nutritional yeast
2 tsp chili powder
2 tsp ground cumin
2 tsp black salt (also called kala namak)
1.5 tsp turmeric (for colour)
1/2 tsp garlic powder

The romance language definition begs the question, are French-Canadians Latino?

Barista here, I do latte art even on the to-go orders for two reasons;

1. 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?

2. 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.

Since when are 3 year olds being sent to school?

Like I said, not an expert haha (thanks for explaining what mTLS is because I had assumed I knew but truly didn't)

That being said, I found a reddit thread detailing what seems to be the same issue as you, with OP linking a Stack Exchange post with their solution.
