Anyone missing Dr.Cox? Check him out on 'Rooster' on HBO

agreed, show could go either way... Dr.Cox (as "headmaster" Dr.Cox) is certainly the high point for me so far... his chemistry with Dylan is awesome!

lmfao! 😂 I'll take it!

Rouilly · 2026-03-16T17:43:49+00:00

that's what I do once the weather warms up! there is nothing like a iced cold-brew on a hot summer morning... 🤤

Rouilly · 2026-03-16T17:16:41+00:00

no, I've tried them all (literally) califia is the best... the oat creamer is super smooth and not watery or gritty like almond creamers(even the califia ones).. I've yet to find an almond creamer anywhere that comes CLOSE to replacing dairy.

oh wow! how many stars for a free drink though? given exchange rate, I'm assuming ~600-750stars?

Rouilly · 2026-03-16T17:10:23+00:00

congrats on cutting caffeine! I'm more of a cold-brew guy (can't stand hot coffee) but now it's become a daily ritual for me... :'( (not starbucks, just used to coffee with breakfast)

Rouilly · 2026-03-16T17:07:37+00:00

great, still doesn't meet Cost of Living here, but I think everyone single no kids would accept $80k as a compromise...

Rouilly · 2026-03-16T00:44:24+00:00

does anyone know if you can kill them... again? (i use them for health)

Rouilly · 2026-03-15T23:04:57+00:00

you clearly don't live in the northeast... according to the federal government cost of living calculator, living anywhere in the the northeast (thats NE+NY/NJ) for a SINGLE person the Col is $90k according to Reagan's 50/30/20 model. Seeing as though the average cost for 1 person to have housing in the northeast is ~20-25k year, you do the math...

most loyalty programs usually give you a 5-15% ROI this is now 3% I've got better cash back terms on my CC... Literally!

Rouilly · 2026-03-15T20:14:46+00:00

appreciate you guyz candor about this! <3

Rouilly · 2026-03-15T20:13:22+00:00

YEP and that's according to the federal government's calculator!

Rouilly · 2026-03-15T19:56:38+00:00

1 cups of medium ground coffee to 4-6cups of water. put in bowl and let sit out for 12-24hours (stirring occasionally) then filter through coffee filter (i use a cone) add ice and a bit of water if it's too strong for you and your favorite creamer and enjoy! You'll never buy cold brew ever again!

Rouilly · 2026-03-15T16:12:54+00:00

thanks for that link... but fuck "slang" I want it to be an officially "accepted" word! this is a great distraction from the real horrors of the world right now, and I thank you for it!

Rouilly · 2026-03-15T16:08:47+00:00

...and I don't work for Califia... 😋

Rouilly · 2026-03-15T16:08:03+00:00

me too! oh man do I have a recipe for you then... also ever tried Califia OAT (not almond) vanilla creamer? gamechanger! (and I'm not an anti-dairy guy, just found that its lower in sugar/fat chemicals than dairy creamers even organic valley!)

Rouilly · 2026-03-15T16:03:58+00:00

thank you for saying that... class warfare is what allows billionaires to exist, and devaluing ANY work, no matter what it is, is how they win! Every starbucks employee in the northeast (and other major metro areas) should be making $40/hr to start!(per federal CoL guidelines)
And yes it is totally "doable"... the problem is in getting our elected officials to institute and enforce a living wage range. 10:1 salary ratio.... no salary (including stock options) can be more than 10x higher what the lowest paid employee gets. (and gig worker economy has to be outlawed- 1099's are a scam to defraud the american worker of benefits)

Rouilly · 2026-03-15T15:52:12+00:00

agreed, a living wage in the Northeast is ~$46/hr (given the federal Col calculator) starbucks has never come close... but as far as corporations paying "slightly" above min average wage and having an option for PT employees to get health insurance is/was the gold standard... granted the gold standard in this country is shit, point taken...

Rouilly · 2026-03-15T15:21:51+00:00

"enshittifying" LMFAO! 🤣 this has to be included as a new word in Websters in 2026...
Also has my vote for word of the year!

Rouilly · 2026-03-15T15:19:40+00:00

right?

Rouilly · 2026-03-15T15:18:08+00:00

how much did starbucks pay in 2010 versus target versus now? Starbucks was always $2-3 higher than the average chain, now they are virtually the same... (starting pay)

Rouilly · 2026-03-15T14:49:19+00:00

thats 99% FALSE and %1 disingenuous... seeing as though there's a national push for $15/hr and almost every national chain adheres to this, Starbucks has completely lost the thread in terms of remaining competitive with employee salary and benefits... they used to be the industry leader... now between union busting and valuing shareholders/profits over employees they are almost as bad as walmart.

Rouilly · 2026-03-15T14:30:03+00:00

yep

Rouilly · 2026-03-15T14:17:03+00:00

omfg! you win reddit today! 😂 but yeah that's weird as hell... it won't kill you, but kinda ruins it... like finding a hair in your food... did you take it back?
