Okay so I wanted to know just how tired you'd have to be to order the footlong latte (as in, how much caffeine is in that bastard).

So fun fact: the typical specialty coffee has 2 "shots" of espresso in it (which for consumers is simplified as a single shot for some reason).

Now, this is a surprisingly subjective measurement for a drink, because a lot of coffee making comes down to variables; advanced coffee nerds will tell you everything matters from the amount of grinds you put in (to like the tenth of the gram) to the grind size to how long to steep it to how much water you put through to even the inclusions in your water. Like they have fucking mathematic equations for this shit, and that level of precision is exactly why any professional will tell you to measure your shots in weight and not volume. And all of this matters because similarly, the amount of milk you add to a drink is also a ratio (for a latte specifically, the milk's roughly 2/3 of the entire drink).

But because of all that variability, unless you know a specific cafe's espresso machine like the back of your hand, you probably won't be able to tell the volume of an espresso shot, which is why most basic sources will generalize it to an ounce per shot, which for the consumer typically means 2 ounces of espresso per latte.

On top of all that, there's the fact that different beans have different caffeine contents, which again as a consumer you likely wouldn't know unless you very specifically knew the blend the cafe was using, which is further complicated by the fact that most cafes have proprietary blends. For the sake of this analysis, let's assume that OP went to a Starbucks (the biggest coffee chain in the US, meaning we're more likely to get info on them), which supposedly uses the same espresso blend as it sells in stores.

Starbucks conveniently actually gives us quite a bit of info to work with: its doppio shot (commercial shot, in actuality 2 shots) is 1.5 oz in volume and contains roughly 150 mg of caffeine. With the previous milk-to-espresso ratio and this info, we can conclude that the "average latte" (not necessarily from Starbucks, we just used its espresso blend as a basis for our caffeine calculations) has 2 oz of espresso with 200 mg of caffeine, along with 6 oz of steamed milk.

Now onto the "footlong" part. Most coffee places have 12 oz to-go cups as their basic size from my memory, so we're basing our dimensions on one of those (typically there aren't different size lids at a cafe, meaning that we can only expect the cup to get taller, not wider). These generic cups give us a length of 5 inches. Now I'm no mathematician, just a casual coffee nerd, so for simplicity's sake we're gonna assume that this cup is a straight cylinder (which is very obviously isn't, anyone who is a math nerd please correct my math here). That would mean that a latte would take up 2.5 inches of the cup, amounting to espresso taking up 5/6 in of that cup. Assuming we mean the actual coffee is a foot long and not the cup itself, that would mean 4 inches of that latte footlong is espresso (320 mg of caffeine).

In terms of Starbucks coffee, that's roughly 2.13 doppios (a little less than 4.27 shots), which amounts to 319.5 mg of caffeine. For reference, most of the energy drinks you're gonna see in a gas station are around 300 mg, and the recommended daily amount for the average adult is 400mg.

So uh yeah, you're gonna be fucking awake after that.

(Someone else please check my math and also add metric measurements, I spent like an hour ignoring my accounting homework for this.)

just asked the barista for a “12 inch” latte rather than “12 ounce” latte, tried to correct myself, and did it again.

I’m alive awake alert enthusiastic today, clearly

Long time fan of the effort you put into your longer researched posts. From my prospective, the biggest issue none of the people you interact (in this case the pro gun community) with understand what they're talking about. None of them understand statistics. Sure, they may have a grasp on arithmetic, but they don't actually understand statistics. I don't expect them to understand the finer details of Bayesian probability, but they should understand at the very least what a hypothesis test is before throwing out garbage statistics. They also don't understand chemistry, and believe synthesizing chemicals without the proper equipment is easy. They always have this garbage story of "well I did it in highschool chemistry lab, it's super easy." Like, good-fucking-job, the graduated cylinder clapped too. They think it's so easy to just synthesize any chemical, and it will be of perfect quality without defects.

More often than not, the articles they link are just bad research passed on by the foolish to the gullible.

They way they talk, and how grotesquely simplified their arguments are speaks volume to how misguided their rational is. If they don't have a gun, then suddenly the US falls into a state of tyranny? Surely, that isn't a slippery slope.

The way they believe simply having a firearm means they're going to be proficient enough to use the tool effectively. It is ludacris rational. No different than how in undergraduate calc courses one can choose to use a calculator (tool) doesn't mean they're going to suddenly end up with a passing grade. They talk about going to a weekend class as qualified training (again trying to bolster this false bravado of themselves), no different than the f student who only copied the in-class examples of mechanical motion, thinking they're ready for the test.

The fact they are more often a danger to themselves and those in their immediate vicinity. we know the solution is restrictive access to firearms, and fortunately we as a culture are gradually gravitating towards this. Look this is a long-winded vent to just say why bother with this vocal minority? They lack any formal knowledge in the maths and sciences. They lack the capacity to fully understand the topics they're far too eager to engage.

Yeah, the lack of willingness to engage with real data has been a real throughline of most of my conversations about gun control. Even when I explicitly request that they provide sources, the vast majority have been unwilling or unable to provide anything beyond the famous Kleck or English studies which are so shot through with methodological issues that they're easy to debunk.

Truthfully, though, I no longer engage with an expectation of a real debate. I engage with the hope that someone other than the person I'm debating sees the debate and can be shown that the arguments against gun control are terrible. I've found that bystanders to debate in public spaces are a much better target than those who aggressively engage in the debates themselves.

Fundamentally, it helps to realize that a lot of the opposition to gun control is no longer rational, i.e. driven by reasons. They'll give reasons, but if you knock them down it doesn't matter because that wasn't why they held their belief in the first place.

Guns were once a tool, but now they've become an object of identity. People used to use guns for hunting, for property defense, or for personal defense, but the average gun owner these days has never used their gun for anything like that; they have to resort to "a guy who knows a guy who knows a guy who used his gun against a mugger" type of stories.

If something is a tool, then it's easy to find compromises between usefulness and safety, but, if something is a symbol of identity, then any restriction has to be fought against with near-religious ferver.

That's pretty much where we are in the gun debate at this point as far as I can tell. Pressure is building for gun control and the seeming increase in mass shootings and murders will only make it build further. My prediction is that either those who oppose gun control will find some way to release the pressure in a controlled manner or, eventually, it will explode with results that will probably be even less to their liking.

SPAGHIDER

Every Bugsnak is wonderful, every Bugsnak is a delightful design. But Spaghider is absolutely impeccable. Even if it may not quite be my favorite design, I think Spaghider has the BEST design of any snak. It is just bellissimo!

While other spider snax are very simplified with silly anatomy, Spaghider is one of the most anatomically accurate snax there is, and every aspect of the food is used flawlessly! Cephalothorax consisting of spaghetti twirled around a fork, eight noodle legs, a meatball abdomen, and the tines of the fork representing both pedipalps and chelicerae. It is so so so good!!! And focusing more on the food side, I love the detail on both the noodles and the meatball, especially the little flecks left by the sauce. Also, pasta was SORELY missing from the base snak roster, so a spaghetti snak was basically a necessary choice! A spaghetti and meatballs snail was considered for the base game, and dare I say, I think I’m glad we got Spaghider instead, since it is so perfect, and we already have a perfect snail in Cinnasnail, anyway. Somebody call a Chef, because I need one to do a Kiss to commemorate this right about now!

Spaghider spends its time in trees, but if something Cheesy is nearby, it will snag it in a thread... of spaghetti! It makes sense, it’s a long thread that can be analogous to a thread of silk, but it is just funny that it is using what its legs are made of as silk, I think. The beautiful fool will even snatch up Shrink Spice and Snak Traps as long as they’re covered in cheese, and this is how to capture it!

A very funny glitch exists, or at least existed because they might have fixed it, where Spaghider’s stretchy noodle could fall off, and just be there on the ground as an extremely compressed spaghetti cylinder. I love this!!! Would you eat something like this? I would. I would love to! Just hold it and bite into it like an apple! You could dip it in sauce as you do! Please reply or tag Hell Yeah! if you would!

sam today in my e&m class we were doing electric potential with gauss's law and the teacher gave us a problem involving a nonconducting, uniformly charged cylinder. but, for cylinders you can usually assume the ends of the cylinder are negligible since it drastically simplifies the calculations¹ and it works fine as long as you are close to the charged cylinder and said cylinder is very long. anyways this gets more interesting i promise, so you work it out with the approximation and get that |E| is inversely proportional to the distance from the cylinder². however in order to calculate potential you need to integrate the electric field from a place where the potential is known to where youre trying to find it. well, the potential should³ be zero at infinity. however, that integral diverges (ln(∞) = ∞). so then the teacher realized that wasnt going to work and instead assigned the center of the charged cylinder to have a potential of zero, except since that's definitely positively charged it made the potential everywhere else negative despite no negative charges existing anywhere in that space. so yeah it was a whole mess and also really funny. integrate responsibly and sorry for writing an essay in your inbox i hope its comprehensible

1. the difference is some constant electric field magnitude at some distance from the surface multiplied by the surface area versus the surface integral of the dot product between the varying electric field and the normal to the surface

2. |E| = pR²/2εr iirc

3. i say should because the approximation kind of assumed the cylinder is infinitely long and |E| is independent of the length when you do that, but shouldnt be if you dont approximate. so having it be infinitely long might make things Weird™ but i need to check it the old fashioned way

KATEEE THIS IS SO COOL sorry it took me so long to respond issues etc <3 i say this with love but i feel like math and physics teachers both love also hate you because you always poke holes in their unsound logic and derail the class. also this is a very responsible sourced ask i love the cliffnotes..

10 Sexy Texts That Will Make Him Fall In Love

Guys are often seen as stoic, silent creatures who “don’t want to talk about it.” If my coaching client calls tell me anything, it’s that a lot of women struggle with getting their guy to open up about his feelings.

Like I’ve said in my past blog posts, men are often taught at an early age that losing their cool (i.e. showing emotions) is a sign of weakness.

It might seem like we’re the unreadable Sphinx, but the truth is that we do have a soft and gooey center – if you know how to get to it.

(I just realized that sounds a bit gross…)

But the hidden, private part of him is reserved for that special woman in our life.

If you can crack the secret code to make him open up, he’ll know you’re “The One“.

Text messaging is one of the ways you can tell a guy that you’re the right girl for him – but indirectly.

Men are known for communicating in a straight-to-the-point, let’s-not-beat-around-the-bush kind of way.

But not when it comes to dating and romance…

He won’t say it (or even be consciously aware of it), but your guy is always be up for a nice, steamy session of text flirting. He lives for the thrill of the chase.

And beating around the bush is, in fact, a GOOD thing for both of you.

Considering the way a guy’s brain is wired, sending him a well-crafted text message is just like throwing a match into a gunpowder.

Yes, your man is a powder keg of love (and lust!) that’s just waiting for a chance to explode. Here are 10 of the best text messages to light his fuse:

#1: “My mind’s been running wild with naughty, naughty thoughts all day…and it’s all your fault”

Just like you, men want to be WANTED.

Most women want men to acknowledge their beauty and personality, but your typical guy is after a more sensual kind of longing.

Desire begets desire.

Your man needs to know that he’s running through your mind harder than a triathlete gunning for the gold medal.

When he’s aware that you’re ALSO thinking of him in an R-rated kind of way, you’ll create a feedback loop that’s directly wired into a primal part of his brain.

Naturally, he’ll push you to elaborate on what you just told him – the next step is to supply him with one detail at a time.

EXAMPLE: “I was thinking of the weight of your body pressing against me.”

After you’ve texted back and forth for a while, wrap things up by saying “I’d love to keep this going, but I have to get back to work (or any other reason of your choice).”

You want to end it – and leave him wanting more.

Then, finish it off with:

“Besides, I’d rather continue this conversation face to face… I’ll let you count the minutes until then :)”

How detailed you want to get is up to you. But if your conversations at this point aren’t getting sexy yet, I suggest keeping the tone suggestive rather than using actual explicit words…for now.

#2: “I’m feeling like FedEx right now…because I’m interested in a certain package of yours ;)”

Did you just indirectly reference a part of his anatomy?

Yeah you did – and he’ll love you for it.

Let me be totally blunt with you – a red-blooded man loves it when his woman “wants his biz“.

The thought of a girl craving his manhood is all it takes to get him firing on all cylinders.

A man derives a BIG part of his masculinity from this part of himself, so he’ll feel extremely gratified knowing that you want him in this very specific way.

Yet another flirty text – #3: “Nothing sounds better than hearing you say my name when you _________. I’ll just let you fill in the blank :)”

Never underestimate the power of a horny man’s imagination. We’re first and foremost visual creatures, so give our mind’s eye something to work with.

We’re tantalized by what we can’t (or want to) see. Give your guy’s mind an excuse to work overtime, and he’ll create the perfect image to burn into his brain.

By letting him “fill in the blank”, you’re basically giving him a free pass to picture the two of you in the dirtiest situation he can imagine.

Trust me, he’ll want to fill in those blanks in more ways than one… if you know what I mean.

Try this text – #4: “Wanted: sexy, handsome guy to supply love-starved girl with a steady shower of kisses. Generous perks and benefits await qualified candidates.”

Send this separately: “Only one spot open…let me know if you’re interested.”

Pro tip: Your text messages don’t always have to read like a page out of “Fifty Shades of Grey”.

You don’t have to sound like an erotica author all the time, and he’ll appreciate you mixing it up with a little levity. Also known as FUN.

As much as he appreciates the raunchy stuff, shifting gears every now and then keeps you from being too “intense”. A dash of humor will break up the monotony, give him a nice chuckle and STILL keep the sexy vibe going.

(Oh, and feel free to customize this “sexy ad” text with your own “job description”.)

A good girlfriend knows how to tickle his funny bone…along with the other parts of his body.

Super texting – #5: “I was just thinking about the sounds we make when we’re alone together. It’s like a song stuck in my head and I can’t think of anything else.”

Guys aren’t just turned on by visuals. Supplying his brain with the right soundtrack is just as powerful and will complement his dirty daydreams.

Use audio and engage his senses…

#6: “I need to hear you say my name…especially when it’s out LOUD and you’re out of breath.”

As with the last text, planting strategic “audio clips” will have a HUGE effect on him – sometimes even more than the pictures in his head.

Give your guy the best snippets from the last time you got physical with him, and he’ll be craving you so much that it hurts.

#7: “Licking a lollipop right now, and I can’t stop thinking of you for some reason. I can’t put my finger on it…maybe you should come over and help me figure out why.”

And we’re back to visuals! I’ll admit some guys can be dense, but 99.9999% of men will immediately understand this text.

Trust me, this is one metaphor that WON’T fly over his head.

#8: “Just thinking about the way your tongue feels against my skin…great, now I need to freshen up down south… Care to help?”

Yeah, this one’s self-explanatory, so make sure you’re ready for what happens next when you fire off this little gem.

#9: “It’s freezing here and I’ve buried myself under a bunch of blankets. Not wearing anything was probably a wrong move.”

Not all sexy texts have to be graphic. In some cases, less is more and implying nakedness is a good way to pull this off.

Remember, sexual desire is like gravity…sometimes all you need is a little push and the rest takes care of itself.

Keep it to hints as much as you can. Guys like dirty when you’re WITH him, but they prefer imagination when you’re not.

#10: “I’m playing film critic today and found a movie online…but it’s a porn flick. Wanna watch it with me? Your input would be highly appreciated.”

“Playful” is the operative word when it comes to texting a man. Inviting him to watch porn is a guy’s secret wish, so you get extra points by being creative about it.

Of course, choose something that you genuinely DO want to watch.

Most of the time, turning him on boils down to a matter of pointing his mind in the direction you want. Give him the right material, and he’ll run with it.

You probably know by now that it doesn’t take much to get him started.

While sending him the right text messages is a step in the right direction, it’s only ONE PART of that special combination that will unlock his heart.

And by “combination”, I mean cultivating certain behaviors, attitudes and habits that speak to your man in a way no other woman can.

If you want to be THAT girl in your guy’s life, I’ve found a way to simplify the process and take you to the quickest path to his heart.

For instance, did you know that you need to know how to match his connection style?

I’ve prepared a short video that will explain what his connection style is – and why it’s critical you know this about him.

This is the missing piece in the love puzzle that a lot of women miss – and this often spells the difference between staying together and splitting up.
