Ockshully, people who act elitist about the right way to drink coffee aren’t drinking it for the flavor, they’re drinking it for the elitism. (in jest, also I can’t drink coffee at all so jokes on me)
Dwampre Scorrigank
Wow totally whiffed on what thread to post that to. Uh, spoilers, people talk about coffee below.
it does not the aspartame slows your metabolism, causing you to gain more weight, at least go for the stevia stuff (or you know take your pills with hot black coffee!)
(i donot recommend taking pills with hot liquids, it can cause them to disolve premeturely and get stuck to your throat, i unfortunately speak from experience (although) that was taking pills with water, then immediatly drinking hot coffee)
If she’s downing a 2L bottle of Sprite everday just to take a pill… that’s gonna get real expensive. I mean, I drink a lot of Mt Dew, *and* I have a problem swallowing pills, but I’m not that bad!
Well, yes. People who don’t like their coffee black don’t actually like the coffee. They like the stuff they’re putting in it.
AMagicalDuck
Do you think that people who drink lattes only like the taste of milk
Cbwroses
Exactly, Clif, which is why I don’t drink coffee.
It’s not worth the effort to make it enjoyable for me, and there are other beverages I do enjoy that can give caffeine and sugar.
I do like the smell of coffee, tho.
embe13
@cbroses youd prob like chocolate covered coffee beans, best friend hates coffee but loved those.
@clif real lattes made with expresso (i know its repeated) are an act of chemistry where you get both flavours and as an enjoyer of both milk and espresso those are nice (especially after outdoor winter activities) but french press can make folgers drinkable (i use salted caramel beans bought bulk that make good coffee in a drip unit as well as a press)
HueSatLight
It’s ok if you don’t like two ingredients to touch, without looking down on people who do.
I’s say Dorothy should try the trick you do with dogs where you wrap the pill in cheese, but Joyce might consider that to be mixing ingredients and become even MORE upset.
Damn metric users. You guys are savages, don’t you know that every single unit of measurement should have its scaling system set with no regard to practical applications or other units of measure within the system, and that they should only add into larger units at seemingly random quantities. Increases by base 10 from cm to meter to km? I will take my 3 feet to a yard and 1,760 yards to a mile, thank you very much.
The only time I want meteric nonsense around is to jam it haphazardly into systems that already use the US customary units. Everyone knows drinks should come as six ounce, eight ounce, 16 ounce (already exactly 1 pint but never cut out the unneeded syllablus and call it that), and one liter (its basically 2 pints but why do that when you can add an ounce and a billion digit fraction of one and jump to a utterly different system of measurement). Your not using your head! Think, IntangibleMatter, Thnk!
7º C’s definitely more comfortable if you’re dressed for it, but 45º C might have the edge in terms of what an undressed human can withstand? I don’t actually know offhand, I feel like it could go either way, heatstroke is no joke

Lazy internet research is indicating that I probably should have trusted my gut that this wasn’t even technically correct.

45c heatstroke will kill you far faster than exposure at 7c, a naked human in the sun an moving could survive hours at 7c,
I asked about sleeping ladder-side or anti-ladder-side in loft or bunk beds, but I see now that these IU loft beds have the horrible design where the bedrail doesn’t go all the way to the other side of the bed!
Yeah, if I had a loft bed like that, I would absolutely sleep head to ladder-side only, because I don’t want my head next to a large unprotected drop. Who designs a bed like that??
Grr, argh, holy acrophobia. Holy lawsuit from restless sleepers.
So I’m actually gonna say opposite of you (again lol). The siderails mean I can’t easily swing my legs over to get them onto the ladder, and I’m not sure I could spin around in the headspace, and don’t want to try the ladder head-first (most days), so being oriented to back down the ladder it is.
(actually here I’m pretty sure we see pillow on the unprotected end (which I think matches how we’ve seen them in bed… some of the time at least) and she must move the ladder back and forth for desk access. )
I know Joyce can’t hear this, but for anyone else having trouble taking a pill; put a small amount of honey on a spoon, place the pill in the honey, add a small amount of honey to cover the pill, then swallow it that way.
.
Hope that helps someone.
She’s extremely partial to Sprite over Sierra Mist, an almost indistinguishable competing beverage, so, definitely not something she can just port to sparkling water.

45°F is about 7°C, for all my fellow metric users who weren’t quite sure what temperature that was.

Did you know -40F and -40C are the same temperature?

45º C is more survivable than 7º C.

i think you have that backwards, 45c will kill most canadians

Wow, something Joyce won’t do even for Dorothy. And it doesn’t even involve foods touching!
Possible Chekov’s weighted blanket in panel 1?
Pinkie
If Joyce ever needs to take more than one pill at the same time, does she need an entire 2-liter bottle of sprite for each?
Freezer
You’d think water’s purity* would appeal to Joyce’s OCD.
* As long as she doesn’t know how easily water bonds with virtually any other substance to the point where you can’t get “pure” H20 outside of a lab.
Doopyboop
If she’s anything like me, I bet it’s temp based. I can guzzle some nice ice cold water but if it’s room temp? Blegh.

that sounds like a lot of pee

Joyce just blew past Ruth and Malaya, and is coming up fast on Amber. She’s also surprisingly high in the normalized-for-appearances rankings, considering that she has more appearances than anyone, and how little of the comic she’s actually been swearing for.

She’ll still never touch Jennifer.

That’s fine; plenty of others have.

I appreciate that Dina only has three, just because people make assumptions of you doesn’t put any onus on you to disprove them.
@clif But can she surpass HER MOM (boom, in someone’s FAAAACE I’m not sure who)

So I’m actually gonna say opposite of you (again lol). The siderails mean I can’t easily swing my legs over to get them onto the ladder, and I’m not sure I could spin around in the headspace, and don’t want to try the ladder head-first (most days), so being oriented to back down the ladder it is.
(actually here I’m pretty sure we see pillow on the unprotected end (which I think matches how we’ve seen them in bed… some of the time at least) and she must move the ladder back and forth for desk access. )

Fuck off, Dorothy.
No, no, fuck off some more.
Keep fucking off until you’ve fucked your way around the world and fucked right back on.
And then? Fuck off.

Alongcameaspider
I forget do we know if its the flavor or how bubbly sprite is for the reason Joyce prefers it
She might benefit from being introduced to sparkling water
Not as good as just normal water sure but certainly better than Sprite
Li
She’s extremely partial to Sprite over Sierra Mist, an almost indistinguishable competing beverage, so, definitely not something she can just port to sparkling water.

I’m afraid to say that Default Dorothy is on again.

I giggled so hard at that last panel. Love these goobers.
