They cannot digest milk for the same reason as humans that are lactose intolerant. Non-dairy milk is a whole other thing, with their own concerns for health effects on cats.

I'd say that moral compass is spinning Right on the Axis...

And an actual pizzaria puts those places to shame... But sometimes I'm just in the mood for cheap junk food

Soda fountains keep being brought up here. If you order a soda with no ice, you typically get more soda. But that's because the way the sods fountains fill is based on the volume in the cup, not the volume dispensed. The coffee machine in this post evidently measures based on coffee dispensed. If soda were dispensed the same way, it's likely soda with no ice would also give you a less than full cup.

Also, don't go insulting or blaming the worker in this instance. They likely have to follow the guidelines of the job or risk losing it. "Pre-programmed to not be able to problem solve"? Fuck right off with that. If the machine is set to dispense a certain amount of coffee, the worker would either need to press the button twice, giving away more product for free, or press it once and give a half-full cup. This has nothing to do with problem solving. Maybe the customer shouldn't be pre-prpgrammed to expect more for less. I get the frustration of not having a full cup, but you'd only be getting a half-full cup with or without the ice in it. You are getting what you paid for.

Sure, it IS fucked, but you're getting what you paid for, and knew the amount in advance. Should the cup be filled all the way? Maybe, but you're not getting anything less in this situation. It isn't like they poured half the coffee out, or like you ordered a sandwich with no tomato so they took half the meat off as well. If you order a sandwich, pay for a sandwich, ask for no tomato, and get a sandwich with no tomato but they didn't add extra meat to offset the lack of tomato, you didn't get ripped off. The price of the sandwich might have been a rip off to begin with, but it isnt a rip off because of the removal of tomato.

Then don't order from them? Evidently enough people don't think it is a ripoff or think the convenience is worth it if they are still in business

Yeah... you're be getting exactly the same amount of coffee you had been paying for before. Getting upset at how little that coffee amounts to normally is one thing, but getting upset with the notion that you are now getting -less- coffee is just silly.

My point is about the availability of used cards. Sometimes the market provides that, but they aren't going to stop making new cards just because older cards exist.

Wait, are people sitting and watching the computer as it shuts down? I shut my computer down every time I walk away from it for more than an hour or two, and every night. I just type the command and then walk away to do other things while it shuts down...

Yet these are new and in production, where you can only find used or refurbished 1080tis

Like, no one is saying to upgrade to a battlemage card from a 1080ti if you already have one, but you can't pretend there isn't a market for it. And while they might not be fully there yet, having a competitive entey-level market for GPUs will only bring good things for budget PCs.

Ok, I'm pretty sex-positive, but why risk it at all and wear a buttplug to an MRI? Or at least mention it when asked if you're wearing anything metal?
