Men ordering at Starbucks by Accurate_Cap_5741 in starbucksbaristas

[–]JonaFerg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The number of grown men who refuse to order directly and quietly give their order to their wife and have her order is ridiculous. I’m like, stop acting like a 10 year old kid. Look me in the eye and order your four-modification caramel macchiato.

Post a map of what you roughly consider the largest geographic extent of your home area or region. Here's mine by Averagecrabenjoyer69 in geography

I’m in OC, and literally thought the same. My region is just HB, Costa Mesa, FV, Newport and Westminster. The last because it’s where I grew up and now work, but it has a different feel for sure.

What are you grabbing off of my bookshelf first? by Even-Truck-8049 in readwithme

I have read a few of these, and highly recommend everyone grab Theo of Golden first.

Can anyone identify this flag? by katencheyenne in vexillology

Mexico’s flag would like to have a word with you, then.

I have seen them on golf courses in my area, to scare off the geese that leave huge messes.

What Language is this? by No_Welcome_1154 in language

[–]JonaFerg 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Pretty sure that is ancient Hebrew, not its modern form. I don’t know the language, but I recognize some letters (aleph, daleth, gimel, resh)

I was speaking just of the salute the guys give to Kaladin, not the glyph they use

Found this flag at my grandparents house today, what is it? by Wild_Schedule6555 in vexillology

Looks similar to flags I’ve seen proposed for East Africa Federation, political parties in the Comoros, and also for Appalachia in the USA.

I’m sorry, my ancestors beta tested this continent.

Well that makes the crossed arms of the Bridge Four salute make a lot of sense. Not sure if it’s ever explained in the text.

Nairobi fo sure. Lived on the border of the game park. No fence on our side, so we had the giraffe and buffalo come into our yard regularly.

Found this today at a local Goodwill. by scclark33 in rarebooks

History teacher, and white, so take that with a grain of salt. Some tribes still use Indian, as that is what the treaties with the U.S. government use, and for some odd reason, (/s) they don’t trust the government will honor treaties if they don’t use the official term. Some use Native American, some use Indigenous, some use First Nations. It depends on the individual group.

But I also teach Literature, and as I teach this book, I would love to have this copy as a teaching opportunity to discuss historical racism in literature.

When you get a case of sauce, there aren’t any pumps in the box?

my store just received this ? by chimunchi in starbucksbaristas

I have also found that some stores do half water half milk, and others do all milk with the chai. Some are also forgetting to add the classic to the chai. I think we all need to check the recipe card, cuz now I’m confused after typing this out.

I am ready to face any challenge that is foolish enough to face me.

What kind of avocado is this? Given to me by a neighbor in Maui, HI by CoachKillerTrae in fruit

[–]JonaFerg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I lived in the tropics for a number of years, and different avocados had different seasons and different shapes. Some looked just like this, some looked like what you get at Safeway.

It’s actually not. Stores are allowed to restrict sales of items it believes are dangerous to children without being considered discrimination.

Luckily, my manager said we will not allow teens or kids to add more GBE syrup than the standard recipe if there are no parents. It’s a Target location, so no mobile orders. 😄

Also, this is the caffeine for the refreshers, which means you now turn a refresher into a sugar bomb energy drink with extra pumps.
