National Coffee Day 2023: Dunkin', Krispy Kreme and more coffee spots have deals, promotions

 

Whether you call it joe, java, jitter juice, brew, rocket fuel or mud, coffee is a constant companion for many of us.

 

About two-thirds of Americans (63%) drink coffee daily, according to the National Coffee Association. That equates to about 1.7 cups daily for everyone in the U.S., or 2.8 cups daily per coffee drinker, amounts which have remained steady since 2020, the group says.

 

The U.S. imports the most coffee and is expected to import 20% of the world's volume of coffee in 2023-2024 (about 28.3 million bags, compared to 47.5 million in the European Union), the U.S. Department of Agriculture estimates.

 

To get you to come have coffee at their place, many spots pouring, brewing and steaming coffee and coffee drinks have deals and specials for National Coffee Day on Friday, Sept. 29, and over the subsequent days including International Coffee Day on Sunday, Oct. 1.

I was pleased to learn Taco Bamba is a franchise and they have a location right down the street. I am prepared to consume birria. I had an apple for lunch so my stomach is ready.

The first time I tried Birria was surprisingly at FedEx Field at the taco stand they have by the end zone. It's like 12 dollars for 3 tacos and the brown bbq one was so insane. It's been on my mind since I went there in July lol

I do believe I've gotten better at insulating folks from my mental health matters until I can get somewhere and gasp for air like I've been holding my breath underwater.

 

Seems like almost everytime I crack a little and do that, my Wife is the one that sees it.  Have to remind her and myself she's not my psychiatrist when she gets the tail end of what I'm trying to hide from everyone else.

 

Like, she wants to know when, I want to tell her when, and it's a work in progress working that out.  Your best friend in the whole wide world isnt supposed to be a trophy, they supposed to be a lifesaver.

 

4 year anniversary coming up soon...I remember we had our wedding ceremony of less then 15 people right when COVID was starting...she played "Respond" by Travis Greene, I played "Best in Me" by Marvin Sapp...

So I figured I'd post this here for lack of a better place. But I found a nice site that has some things that I've gotta come back to. They're algorithms for kids. But the algorithm is seen as a book. Like Snowy Day. And they have the events in the book that have to be done. It's an interesting way of doing it because it's nothing but fundamental CS, but tied into the book itself so that they get to why they love the book. 

 

Cool stuff.

Oh yea...I've one upped my Apple fan girl Wifey with USB-C to HDMI cable connecting my phone to our bedroom TV.  With a wireless keyboard I'm now kicking her AppleTV's ass.

 

Victory is mine.

A Missouri high school teacher says she has been placed on leave after officials discovered that she was performing on a pornography website to supplement her salary.

Brianna Coppage, 28, who taught English at St. Clair High School, says her teaching days are probably over, but she acknowledged she knew the risks.

That reminds me of something I used to do when I was in high school. 
 

I would be in a busy/energetic bar… and I’d 

pre-load the song “This is the end” by The Doors for 6 straight times.

I had jury duty last week in MoCo. Carjacking case. They caught the guy with the car 40min after it was reported. He matched the description from the witness. Was a hung jury because we had 2 people on the jury who lied about if they could be impartial and still to the facts of the case. Both didn't agree with the defense, but they decided to come up with their own theories that were beyond ridiculous and refused to even explain them to the rest of us.

 

Terrible experience.

I did that all the time when I worked at Bennigan's.  Same song, too.

She's earned an additional 8-10k per month?  Quit teaching, Bri.  

 

Quote

"Surprisingly, a lot of parents were supporting me," Coppage told The Missourian. "A lot of community members were saying, 'Leave her alone, this is her private business. It has nothing to do with her in the classroom.' "

 

Lots of dads in the St. Louis area are sleeping on the sofa right now.

Yeah, I’m tipsy too.  Our flight left Reykjavik today at 1PM est.  Caught a little sleep and then mashed a coffee driving home from Dulles.  Now I’m on #4…but it’s nice to be home.

 

Anyhoo…..did @Spaceman Spiffjust admit that he would quit his job and jerk-off on a webcam for a living for 8k a month?  Cause that’s not really that much money, my guy.

I mean, it's not ****-you money, but it's more than I was making at my last job as a senior engineer.
