Something about this picture just screams middle school maths book cover.

[-] Iconoclast@feddit.uk 10 points 1 month ago

You're free to use it if you cut me in

[-] Yondoza@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 month ago

Bottom right corner ok? Could use a face down there.

[-] Iconoclast@feddit.uk 1 points 1 month ago

Those poor middle schoolers did nothing to deserve that kind of treatment.

[-] Diplomjodler3@lemmy.world 5 points 1 month ago

Do you enjoy the coffee? Then it's not wasted.

What's the story with this ruler. It seems to be have markings for measuring up to 20.5cm of length, but it's labeled from 10 to 30. Why does it not start from zero?

[-] Iconoclast@feddit.uk 1 points 1 month ago

It used to be 30 cm long, but I shortened it and rounded the corners. I had to cut off the first 10 cm rather than the 20–30 cm section, because otherwise I'd lose the markings for the first few millimetres when I grind the corner.

It's not wasted on you, bro: you are important.

Sounds like a grateful peasant to me.

That ruler has lines just painted on the steel ribbon, without grooves (no idea how to call that in English)? How well the paint keeps on?

[-] Iconoclast@feddit.uk 5 points 1 month ago

There are grooves - I can feel them when I glide a fingernail across it. I've had that thing in the thigh pocket of my work pants for about a decade.

[-] autriyo@feddit.org 3 points 1 month ago

I'd say grooves is a valid term.

But how are you sure that there aren't any? I feel it's difficult to tell just by looking at the picture...

[-] Flax_vert@feddit.uk 3 points 1 month ago

You look more like a fine craftsman

[-] sylphrin@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 month ago

Not wasted! If she's anything like me, the fact that the coffee is fancy is largely for herself. I can't stand offering anyone in my house worse coffee than I would make for myself, unless they specifically prefer it that way. It just feels so wrong.

If you get any extra enjoyment out of the fanciness level, that's just additional icing on the cake.

Iittala Taika-mug! Customer has a nice taste!

[-] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

that is a very kind gesture. i have a client who brings me mcdonalds coffee and you know what? hell yeah i don't have to get up and get a cup of coffee i fucking appreciate that.

that coffee is not wasted on you at all dude. you deserve it

[-] Iconoclast@feddit.uk 2 points 1 month ago

The coffee isn't wasted - just the fancy part of it. It's pretty good coffee though. They've got a proper espresso machine too.

Absolutely not complaining here. I'm so fucking delighted to see how nice most people actually are. I really do enjoy the human encounters in my job which I'm surprised to say.

She's half naked isn't she? Bastard! Lucky freaking bastard!

She's literally offering herself to your every desire and all you....damn! Oh wait. She says its just coffee. Yeah, all good. You do your thing.

[-] SlurpingPus@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago

They're doing the long con, so to say, by cultivating the acquired taste. By the end of the job you'll be able to tell the difference between Kenyan and Ethiopian arabica.

Lady customer is into cave man maybe?

[-] Iconoclast@feddit.uk 2 points 1 month ago

Doesn't concern me for as long as her husband is my best paying customer.

[-] ramble81@lemmy.zip -1 points 1 month ago

It just may not be with money….

[-] Gladaed@feddit.org -1 points 1 month ago

Eww. Can't be nice nowadays?

It's a foamed milk /w espresso with cocoa powder on top and not a sexual advance. Might even be made from a pod machine as opposed to a proper espresso machine. Not a blowjob.
