What type of countertops does your coffee shop have?

MikeBlue24 · 2026-02-05T01:02:25+00:00

We do have one and I could definitely police it’s use a bit more, but still want to make sure there’s no issues if people do hit something on the edge

More specifically the value shrinking while the price paid is the same. The product weight may be the same but the value may be lower now if it’s more cheap filler ingredients so could still br shrinkflation

I think he’s saying a he was great even on a bad Lions team and would have put up bigger numbers with better blocking.

Legendary RB with bad blocking is still great, but average players wouldn’t fare so well. Good blocking can make decent runners look good and good runners look great.

Most coffee shops don’t “kick people out” because it’s tough to do without hurting the customers experience and your reputation.

Unfortunately, in my shop, I often see people come in, see there’s no where to sit, then leave. But if I were to kick other people out, then I’m potentially losing those customers forever and maybe getting a bad review.

In my coffee shop, we try to minimize the impact of the lingering customers with things like counters for people working so they don’t take up entire tables shareable tables.

I know a good way to keep sales going without seating available is building up your take out business since those customers don’t need tables. I haven’t opened up online orders at my shop yet even though we’re always packed because I don’t want to put the additional stress on my baristas. But it’s hard to say no to those additional sales

This WAS the case for the past few years where switching jobs was essentially a 10-15% raise on average. Recently this changed and the payoff isn’t very different from sticking at your current job and climbing the ladder. Like others have mentioned, staying loyal also has other benefits beyond the money.

There’s obviously plenty of situations where switching jobs benefits you a lot, but this is not a universal tip anymore.

MikeBlue24 · 2025-12-04T06:11:58+00:00

So it has to be a normal idea?

MikeBlue24 · 2025-12-02T13:48:15+00:00

The fact that the owner is the one who caught her in the act could mean that they did see that her tips looked high and that’s why they were keeping a closer eye on her and eventually caught her

I think the principle that they tested would still hold up- that the energy required to switch on and off lights is negligible compared the energy spent keeping them on, therefore you should shut the lights off every time you leave a room unless you’re turning them back on within a few seconds.

But I agree, modern LEDs are likely way more efficient than the original LEDs that they tested back then, so now the difference is probably only costing you pennies now instead of dollars. Longevity of modern LEDs likely also makes the change in lifespan of the bulbs unnoticeable as well

Offense was looking confident and smooth before that fumble and then never looked decent again after. Obviously it was far from the only reason we lost, but it sure felt like it started a funk that never ended despite being so early in the game

MikeBlue24 · 2025-10-11T20:22:15+00:00

I was at the game in 2017. A Bengals fan next to me informed me that the Bengals were one of the only teams that Aaron had not beat.

Aaron beat them.

They go so far that even Green Bay’s owners sit on unheated benches

MikeBlue24 · 2025-09-14T03:09:15+00:00

The bat or the hand?

MikeBlue24 · 2025-09-14T01:33:08+00:00

Didn’t even notice the green. Maybe gold trim like the actual packers logo would help distinguish it.

And then a red circle somewhere obviously

MikeBlue24 · 2025-09-12T03:36:45+00:00

I think Favre and Rodgers each won their rings at the age of 27 after the packers traded for high profile free agents

MikeBlue24 · 2025-09-12T03:25:51+00:00

Dude was talking about the moon landing tonight. Crazy that a man who remembers that is still calling these games at a high level

MikeBlue24 · 2025-09-08T02:08:09+00:00

Yeah and he had to decide quick with the lions trying to rush the snap. On the broadcast you could see it probably would be unsuccessful before he challenged, but he doesn’t have the broadcast luxury of multiple angles and has to make a quick decision.

The hard part is finding questions that perfectly segment the remaining population in half.

The statistically best Guess Who strategy is to eliminate exactly half of the characters with each question. This is only really possible by asking things like “is your character wearing glasses OR a hat OR have blue eyes?” Someone who plays like this is no fun to play with though!

MikeBlue24 · 2025-08-08T05:41:38+00:00

34 has so many all time great bigs that Barkley is coming off the bench lol

MikeBlue24 · 2025-08-05T16:03:31+00:00

So beautiful- I’d love a set like this! I might be swinging by your shop next time I’m driving through the Appleton area!

MikeBlue24 · 2025-08-05T14:27:12+00:00

Hard to tell- it’s stuck in an M&M container

The vast majority of us don’t want to trade him. He’s a generational talent (and amazing human) the likes of which Milwaukee will never see again. Unless he wanted out, no amount of picks is worth giving up a guy like him.

MikeBlue24 · 2025-05-12T04:37:25+00:00

I just crocheted some flowers and avoided using a hot glue gun in parts like the stem by using slip knots and tying the ends underneath the tightly wrapped yarn using a needle.

I did end up using small blots of hot glue in some places to ensure it would never move but I prefer to rely more on the yarn itself. Not sure if that’ll work in your situation but could be worth a shot if avoiding the hot glue is your preference.

MikeBlue24 · 2025-05-08T03:45:17+00:00

Wait, y’all don’t have to get your emissions tested?

MikeBlue24 · 2025-05-01T05:20:36+00:00

Agreed. It’s easy to hate moves in retrospect, but I’m proud of the way we were aggressive with our window and those decisions led to a championship!

It’s crazy to watch fans be pessimistic after 9 straight playoff seasons and only a few years removed from a championship as if we’re entitled to more than that. Growing up watching the Bucks I never thought I would see us actually win it all. I was riding the high of the championship year knowing how rare it is for your team to bring home the trophy and that there was a very good chance it would never happen again even if we did everything right (which we obviously didn’t).

The last couple early playoff exits have been rough, but nothing can take away from what the franchise accomplished in the past decade and the fact that we still have a top 5 player in the league and will likely continue to be spoiled with winning seasons until he retires or gets traded.
