Thank you for the awesome. I needed that.

Those are indeed awesome-- you saved that barista's day, and your student is fantastic. :)

[q10]

that is full of awesome - or perhaps it would be better to say it's overflowing with awesome.

Yay free drink! I don't see why people care so much about Starbucks sizes. Do they not have anything else to worry about?

[tirerim]

When they're ordering coffee? Probably not. Personally, I understand "venti" just fine, but "tall" and "grande" are ridiculous -- "dodici" and "sedici" would have been less confusing. Fortunately, they still just have three sizes, so I usually just say "small", "medium", or "large".

Agreed. Starbucks' size names are needlessly pretentious.

Also, I think the Viennese don't get enough love in terms of cafe culture. An excellent afternoon coffee: a melange in Vienna, served with a small biscuit and a tiny glass of cold water to clean the palate. Civilized in the extreme.

[tirerim]

Yeah, but the problem with melange is that it's addictive and turns your eyes blue. Also ridiculously expensive, between the monopoly and the interstellar shipping. Not really sure that's worth it for a good cup of coffee.

You do NOT talk about Thermodynamics!

That's cold. REAL cold.
