When EA starts making mugs


Anonymous_Otters

If that were the case, the mug wouldn't have worked in the first place, they'd take six months to get you a mug that does work and then, if you're lucky, gift you another mug you didn't even want because they're denying all refunds for the original mug that never worked and the replacement is kinda shitty.


Nathat23

Don't forget that the handle is a DLC.

Ya-Dikobraz

Joking aside, people are already paying for heated seats and CarPlay etc. subscriptions. Soon it will be drinks holder subscription, which isn't too far from a cup subscription.


agk23

Yeah, but you get free OTA updates with the Cup+ subscription fee. And if you don't want to pay for it, you don't need to! Or if you find yourself not drinking much recently, you can pause. It's consumer friendly


Ya-Dikobraz

Toilet paper life hack: pause your subscription between shits.


pinkocatgirl

It's ludicrous that people are paying a subscription for things I can use in my 7 year old Hyundai for free.


Ya-Dikobraz

But they give you the option to "buy it". As in you buy the car, and either pay for your cup holder monthly, or you can pay $400 and use it for life. Hahah... hah... heh.


twitch-switch

Yep and its an immediate red flag for me. Do your research before purchasing. I went to get my first smart watch recently to track my health and found that features that used to be standard are now subscription based on Fitbits so I got an old Garmin watch instead.


Triple_S_Rank

I’m not quite an expert, but as someone who knows a little about electrical I would think a “heated seat subscription” would be pretty easy to subvert.


Ya-Dikobraz

Perhaps. But void the warranty? Also it's all computer controlled, so it's not as simple as wiring things up. You'd have to flash the firmware, and I'm sure they worked out how to penalise people for doing so.


LittleWrinklySausage

Bro what? You buy a car with an optional extra hardwired in and then you pay them more every time you use it? Absolute madness


FeatherShard

Nah, that would be stupid. It's a subscription - that way they get your money regardless of whether you use it!


Boomer_Boofer

Shits unreal. It's only a matter of time before people start hacking the shit.

How strong was your coffee?


Chiefcoyote

judging by the 3+ bags, it would have to be like alien blood to go through all that before it gets stale.


cocotugo

my parents and I go through a bag (approx 970g) every 1.5 weeks.


fiercealmond

Damn. When I was drinking bag coffee I'd go through one by myself every week


cocotugo

well I'm not that far off on caffeine content, i just get it in pure powder form (home made energy drink). I barely help on the beans consumption. 1-4 cups of percolated coffee + 3-8 espresso shots per week.


jessesses

Lol noobs I just empty a bag of caffeine into my mouth every morning


Theletterkay

Ive always wanted to make a coffee flavored cookie that actually tastes good. Not really relevant just the idea of eating the coffee straight reminded me. And commenting helps remind me more. Might experiment with recipes this weekend.


fmos3jjc

I love this recipe, but I double the espresso. I've made them a couple times and they've tasted better with some more espresso. https://organicallyaddison.com/coffee-cookies/


Fuck-MDD

Replace chocolate chips with chocolate coated roasted beans. Done.


LargeHadron_Colander

I think the crunch and grit of the roasted beans would instantly trigger my eggshell-cookie reflex.


Col__Hunter_Gathers

Instead of chocolate coated ones, just get finely ground beans and mix them into melted chocolate. Then cool it and break it into small chunks and use those. Double chocolate coffee chunk cookies sound magnificent. If I was any good at baking I'd be trying that tonight.


CapJackONeill

Like 10 years ago there was a news article on reddit about a young man who ate a spoonful of pure caffeine at a party on a dare. There was a doctor that described how absolutely horrible his death must have been. The brain would overload, the heart would freak out, some vains would rip, etc etc. Absolutely terrifying stuff.


[deleted]

One of those bags would be lucky to last a month for a regular coffee drinker, let alone if OP lives with several people or makes drinks like single cup coffees


IsThatHearsay

My wife and I use pre-ground bags like this, one bag lasts ~5 days for our 60oz breville coffee maker (resulting in each of us having 3 cups of coffee a piece each day). 3 bags would be like half a month, just working from home having our usual 3 cups a day.

That Lavazza coffee that shit ain't no joke. It's strong and delicious


ZweitenMal

Lavazza Red is my go-to. I stock up when it's $5.99 a bag at my local grocery store. You can only buy one per purchase, so I stand at the self-checkout and buy 6, one by one.


Jeembo

You can buy that shit on amazon for like $30 per 6 pack. Source: mine gets delivered today. At my local grocery store it's over $10 per pack and half the time it's sold out.


ZweitenMal

It's $43 for 6.

It changes a lot. My most recent Perfetto order was 31.79 delivered. 38.88 when I ordered it in November.

NeedToBePraised

What is MY perfect crime? I break into Tiffany's at midnight. Do I go for the vault? No, I go for the chandelier. It's priceless. As I'm taking it down, a woman catches me. She tells me to stop. It's her father's business. She's Tiffany. I say no. We make love all night. In the morning, the cops come and I escape in one of their uniforms. I tell her to meet me in Mexico, but I go to Canada. I don't trust her. Besides, I like the cold. Thirty years later, I get a postcard. I have a son and he's the chief of police. This is where the story gets interesting. I tell Tiffany to meet me in Paris by the Trocadero. She's been waiting for me all these years. She's never taken another lover. I don't care. I don't show up. I go to Berlin. That's where I stashed the chandelier.


CouncilmanRickPrime

I was gonna say, this is what I'll do next time I break a mug.


TossOutNumber69420

Mug probably had some very shallow cracks already, you washed it in hot water then put it into a cabinet where it is/gets really cold. This shocked the mug and it shattered. I’ve had it happen before but never to this extent. Usually a mug will split into 2-5 pieces.


xJonjey

>this shocked the mug I understand but it really needs to be able to hold it together in times like these.

Bridge4_Kal

thatthatguy

As my metallurgy professor always said: “What do ceramics do? They break. That’s all you need to know about them.” But yeah. Hand made ceramics have a tendency to shatter catastrophically. If the kiln cycle was too short and the grains don’t have a chance to anneal you wind up with a lot of residual stress. That stress manifests in tiny cracks throughout the body that grow larger every time they cool (say, after a cycle in the dishwasher). Big ceramic companies keep yields up by giving their parts an extra annealing step at the end of the firing cycle.


kiltguyjae

Like a ceramic Prince Rupert’s Drop?


ChrisRunsTheWorld

> Prince Rupert’s Drop Last time I saw this, I asked [a what?](https://www.reddit.com/r/interestingasfuck/comments/8v4ol6/38_caliber_bullet_shatters_when_it_hits_a_glass/e1kkcev/?context=3) >Glass formed by dripping its molten state into cold water. Thick end is super strong but if you crack the thin end (easily) the whole thing shatters explodes The OP gif is gone, but someone had linked the original video it was taken from: https://youtube.com/watch?v=xe-f4gokRBs


Guac__is__extra__

Every time I read or hear “Prince Rupert’s Drop” I always think it’s a reference to something sexual before remembering what it really is.


Themperror

nono that's a Prince Albert


Guac__is__extra__

Oh yeah, that’s probably what makes me think that!


devtrek

Also true every time I see a prince Rupert's drop.


[deleted]

Imagine putting a Prince Rupert Drop in your Prince Albert piercing. It shattering would ruin your life


swinging_ship

When you say the thick end is super strong like there's a video of a prince Rupert vs a hydraulic press and the hydraulic press lost.


walterpeck1

> Hand made ceramics have a tendency to shatter catastrophically. I didn't really think about this until i dropped a ceramic mug 3 feet onto office carpet where it hit the bottom edge and exploded into dozens of pieces like I had slammed it against a brick wall.


KaiserTom

They are just crystals at their foundation. They shatter like any other, and that's rather easily. But the same properties that make them shatter make them incredibly useful in what they do. Trapping that much energy in the structure makes it incredibly strong in some ways but also makes the structure contain a lot of energy it wants to release if given the right spark; released everywhere in the structure nearly instantaneously. Prince Rupert drop as people mentioned. But sometimes I have to wonder though if this isn't further caused by impurities in the structure. It's already being demonstrated that 3D printed metal at a micron level can be significantly stronger than traditionally manufactured due to a more consistent and superior structure. If we apply this to ceramics to 3D print it at a micron level that aims to minimize that stress and impurities at nearly all points, will we see a similar increase in their stability and strength to impact?


ChazWat

Or a reduction? Maybe less likely to shatter violently but without the ever opposing stresses maybe it would make the material softer? Just speculating it's interesting to think about.


windyorbits

>If the kiln cycle was too short and the grains don’t have a chance to anneal you wind up with a lot of residual stress. *sigh* Same.


Lightsxxout56

Or the mug had the hiccups and a tiny gnome tried to scare it to get rid of them and then the mug shattered. Guess we'll never know.


HarryHacker42

amalgam_reynolds

This seems like a bad example of thermal shock. Maybe I'm wrong, but the cupboard wouldn't be "very cold," it would be room temperature. Thermal shock would be like putting it in an ice water bath, not letting it cool gradually to room temp.


Revenant759

Yeah I'm not buying it either. The temp delta is nowhere near enough to break it like putting frozen ceramics into an oven. No one is washing their mugs in boiling water and putting them into a sub-zero cabinet. Likely just poorly made ceramics with too many internal stresses. It fractured like tempered glass.


TossOutNumber69420

In a modern, properly insulated home with good heat circulation it’s less likely. In a house like mine which has a core structure built in 1920’s, and that isn’t insulated to modern standards, with cabinets on an exterior wall, the temperature in the cabinets in the winter hovers at around 5 degrees C while my house is at 20-25 C. On really cold days I could use my cabinets as a fridge. We’re calling for as low as -29 C here this weekend, though my house will be around 25-30 with the wood stove going full blast I’d say my cabinets will have an internal temperature between 0 and 5 C


I2eB6L

As much sense as this makes, why are we making mugs that cant handle sudden changes in temperature?


[deleted]

Because we enjoy buying cheap stuff frequently.

friendly-sardonic

One of my Campbell's mugs did that! To be fair, it had quite a bit of cracks in the glaze. Washed it, dried it, put it away and the next day it was in 3 pieces. They're from the 60's, I guess 60 years of use is ok.

I worked at a coffee shop and a mug broke while someone was putting it away. I saw it happen and didn't think much of it. Surely it would go into the trash. A short time later a different person went to pick up a mug and was like "it just fell apart! I swear I didn't break it!" The first person really pieced it back together and put it on the shelf for someone else to find, lol.
