It's cold. Good on hot days or to use in an iced coffee/latte etc.
Most of the time it's not worth the extra time, in my opinion.
Can you heat it before drinking it?
Sure, it's just bean water either way. Should be a bit less bitter than a regular brew.
I think the trope developed over the course of the TV renaissance period post-early 2000s. At the time The Sopranos S1 was released, it didn't exist. The most interesting season of The Sopranos is S6, because it subverts expectation of a series runtime to experiment as a kind of celebration of the established universe and characters and their interactions. It is more than a pastiche of itself though, as it goes in genuinely new directions. 21 was the number of episodes which naturally suited the creative direction of the season and series, within reason of course. Not an even number or multiple of 5, not a number designed to perfectly fill a network timeslot.
GoT (earlier seasons) & Better Call Saul are great examples of shows that effectively harness the 10-episode constraint and deliver great story arcs in spite of them, as I recall. The Wire is another. I think Mr Robot S3 is harmed by the same constraint, where focus was diverted away from storytelling and toward marketability, both to studios and audiences. A different runtime could have improved the show, but by that point in the industry & culture that isn't something that would reasonably be on the table. The more modern version of what Sopranos S6 was is Ozark S4 - forced. Format is now restricted to a 'full length' 10-episode season or fewer, or it is purposefully different as a contrivance of industry. And I highly doubt that was a boon for those highly rated & popular full length series, good as they are.

I think most series are constrained to their respective runtimes and while those constraints do shape the nature of the themes they have the capacity to explore, it isn't always a problem even for series with fewer than 10 episodes. I haven't watched either of those recently enough to speak on them, but I think 10-episode series have become a de facto standard that is problematic for many shows and seasons. Severance S2 and The Bear S3 come to mind as recent examples. Both tend to experiment with the form of episodic storytelling in a way which, while interesting and worthwhile in my opinion, ultimately serves to make their respective season arcs less cohesive as a direct result of that constraint.
The same can be said for many episodes in 10-episode seasons, and due to that constraint those examples are more disruptive to plot progression and tend to be counterbalanced with episodes which rush progression but aren't actually good.
I'm a millennial and always felt this way, but after my industry of expertise was recently shut down domestically I moved into an entry level role elsewhere and it's now much worse, even with semi-decent labour protections in my country
Moto g play 2024. Happy with it. My flatmate just got a new Galaxy, which cost about 9x as much. For my use case, I'm missing a brighter display, esim support, and gorilla glass. That's not worth paying 9x. My battery also lasts significantly longer.
They're already looking at ending in-person town hall meetings due to the backlash they're getting. Which will just cause constituents to seek out their reps in an unmanaged setting
Qualifying your analogy with (mostly) kinda makes it fall apart for me. Because the fediverse also works like how you described email (mostly). There might be a few extra exceptions due to relative immaturity of the protocol is all.
It's already down for me
I don't want to know this, but it's cinnamoroll
There's caveats to that these days. Official streaming, in practice, sure. But with a debrid/similar service and sufficient bandwidth, you can pirate stream files with equivalent quality to uncompressed Blurays
This one & LaD Gaiden (The man who erased his name) are more story DLC's for Yakuza 7 & 8, respectively. Just, they are big enough to merit standalone releases in RGG's opinion. LaD Gaiden was essentially an experiment in releasing this way, and it went well. But the new game isn't Yakuza 9, if that makes sense.
GNOME on my laptop, using the trackpad. Three-finger swipe up to switch tasks/search. Two-finger tap for context menus. Three-finger tap for things like opening in a new tab, or closing a tab. Simple, intuitive, efficient, comfortable.
I think you can just add archive.md or archive.ph etc before the URL of the article, e.g. archive.ph/https://vox.com/whatever to skip that. I've never had to do any captchas this way
You gotta actually break the procurement cycle where they receive books free to own themselves and it's not some janky copy before they realise this way is better
Check their libraries for their favourite authors. Get them a Kobo. Load it up with their favourite author's bodies of work before giving it to them. Problem solved.

Where has he denied doing the shooting? He's pled not guilty to specific charges like first degree murder and terrorism; that doesn't preclude him from having done the shooting in question.
The former and latter behaviour also occurred before and after receiving legal advice, respectively.
Debian laptop user here, left Windows on my gaming desktop for a decent while. Now that I'm more accustomed to Linux DE's I installed Nobara on it about a month ago. Zero issues with the NVIDIA variant on my 3080 so far
I think that's true for small containers, such as a can. Whereas 1.5L is an impractical amount to drink of anything, more likely to lead to drinking until satiation rather than until the container is finished. Especially where the starting point of the habit involves opening a fresh container with a certain aesthetic, and finishing it. That itself can be psychologically addicting. It was for me.
Neither aluminium nor plastic are infinitely recyclable. I read somewhere that factoring in the energy and materials required in the initial production of the container, plastic is about 13x more wasteful. So while of course it depends on serving size (which would logically be different transitioning from small cans to large bottles), as well as recycling programs in your area and their respective efficiencies, you're most likely correct that the carbon footprint of large bottle would be higher overall.
What I really meant to get at was 'waste' in terms of the amount of empty containers that tend to pile up around you. For myself being addicted to drinking cans of fizzy, I would stack them around me and it would become a much larger job to clean them up than it is for large bottles.
I'll also say that while being addicted to cans, I lamented their relatively higher cost and was more compelled to go for small bottle form factor on occasions where they were available cheaper than cans, rather than large bottles. Small bottles of course being by far the most wasteful.
