I don't like sh1t coffee

Then pay your 23$ a lb. The coffee I get isn’t sh1t coffee. It’s not a generic brand. It might not  be the elite of the elite but it’s just like going to any grocery store and getting a bagged coffee. It’s exactly the same. 
 

I’ve gotten Peet’s, Starbucks, coffee bean brand. Sometimes I find like a baileys crafted coffee. Kahlua branded coffee. 
 

but like usual I was just posting some info and you have to continue to be an insufferable pr1ck regardless

There are lots of good brewers and beers out there.  Why would I want to drink the same beer all the time?

Irish butter

one thing that is hard to get in Canada.  we used to cross the border to buy this stuff in the US.  

Their butter is so good it makes the butter in North America seem like dogfood.

not kidding.  its good stuff.

but while this thing is going on I wont go to the US, so no butter for me.  lol

That’s because your countries tariffs are so high.

I don’t see how it would be, otherwise wouldn’t all the tariffs from other countries be illegal too?

edit: or I guess they are just saying that Trump can’t decide to put them in place on his own, they have to go through Congress?

Correct. The Constitution gave this role to Congress. Trump is relying on a law that allows the President to do it in a time of emergency. There is no emergency.

Wrong.  They put a hold on that decision to allow for an appeal. it says so right in your linked article.  Try not being so ignorant all the time.

Good while they are at it. It’s unconstitutional for state governors to raise taxes.  They should abolish that too

Yes. I was simply being hopeful that this ruling is upheld. 
 

Seriously don’t you think it SHOULD be upheld? Put aside your partisanship for the moment, or you views about tariffs or Trump. This is about whether or not the President should be able to perform roles that the founders laid out for Congress.

If Biden did this they would be loading their rifles.

Just like most anything we buy...we look for sales. Im not close to a coffee snob.  I have my morning 22 oz tumbler..Black. 

So for grounds.   Tim Hortons, Dunkin, even eight o clock are fine for me.

Starbucks is too bitter

People who like craft beer are very different than people who only like light beer.  Craft beer drinkers love trying different beers from different breweries.  That's one of the things that makes it so enjoyable.  Light beer drinkers only like to stick with their brand and usually make fun of other brands.  They're like car brand fanatics.

Had my draft this weekend, and 2 guys always come together with a 30 pack of Miller Lite.  I still like to have some light beer stocked just in case so I bought a 12 pack of Garage Beer and a 12 pack of Busch Light.  Sure enough they show up with the Lite 30 pack, saying they are hungover, but the one guy grabs a garage beer and is raving about it, the other guy then grabs one too and says the same thing and that they might switch to Garage beer.  It's a weird thing with light beer loyalty.

I use to be that way when I was in college.  It's always been Busch Light for the majority of people here in Eastern Iowa.

"The creation of light beer in the 1970s was initially a marketing tool aimed at women and stay-at-home mothers."

Are there any beers that are manly to drink or should I just switch to gasoline?

What did you like best? I’m not the biggest Trillium fan but haven’t had anything bad from Treehouse. If you ever find yourself in Maine hit up Bissel Brothers,

That on its own doesn’t make you gay. Buying beers with goofy names does make you a trendy doosh though.
