THe thing about espresso is that it's tiny. Sure it is strong, but it is SO small.

He's constantly on the road, I can't imagine he actually spends time at client sights, I think he just drives in circles on the highway to make it look like he's being productive. . . . .
I'm not a NASCAR driver I don't get paid to drive in circles.
Then why does your picture look like you're about to make another right turn? Ha ha.
Somebody take away your southerner card. NASCAR only turns left dumbass.
Yeah but @RojoLoco drinks inhumanly strong coffee. It's crazy.

Good morning coffee, oh how I love thee.
Man, I wish coffee still worked for me. Even if it didn't I still wish we didn't have shit coffee here.
Better to have shit coffee than coffee shits.
j/k good coffee with coffee shits is still good coffee.
True... but I'll drink good coffee, just not for a pick me up. I need about 50x the amount of caffeine provided by drip coffee (which literally puts me right to sleep).
A good double espresso goes a long way.
8oz of drip coffee has 95mg of caffeine, vs 80mg for a double espresso. That kind of microdose of caffeine doesn't do shit for me but make me want to go back to bed. I have no idea how much caffeine is in my 8 day cold brew, but it's more like taking drugs than drinking coffee.
According to the box of Kroger Morning Boost (Wild Strawberry), which I add to my water in the morning and after noon, there are 120mg of caffeine in the little packets (each). There are 10 packets to a box, which cost about 3.50. Starbucks can suck it!

Most coffee people consider strong is the dark stuff, which has less caffeine than a light roast, and considerably less than that cold brew @RojoLoco makes. Take it from me, you don't want to drink much more than an expresso cup worth of that stuff at once, I was awake most of a weekend when I made my first batch.
Hrm, might be just the thing for MangoCon!

It's so close to drug addiction. I mean, technically it is drug addiction but you know what I mean.

I never knew. Was it ever popular somewhere?

@travisdh1 some model was, not that one. I think that it was based on the Neon or something later on.

And we got

So I don't think car manufacturers know what's going on, really. -
And then the Volt didn't even end up being electric. Volt, Spark, they tried really had to make people think that they were electric.

Come on, they have a battery.... how much more electric do you need.. . .

Agreed, someone in Rochester should start a batch the week before the con, I'm sure a gallon or two would supply all of us with sufficient caffeine.

To be fair, the engine and drivetrain are electric. There's a serialized gas engine that runs to supply electricity to the engine when the batteries run dry. It's more electric than a Prius, which is one of the worst cars on the road.

Kind of but the engine turns on for basically all driving. Anything over 25 mph or something crazy like that it is on gas all of the time.

At that speed, you might get some savings during rush hour...

I think that's more about the amp draw. If you're a lead-foot, then it needs more juice to meet demand. If you try to hypermile it, then I bet you'd be able to commute without ever touching your gas tank. Conversely, a prius will always use fuel in every commute. Do you have a Volt? Maybe Turo has one to rent?
I spent a lot of time researching them and was close to getting one except that I already have a sedan and don't need another, though I did need a truck with 4wd for winter commuting and I did buy that in November. Once my motorcycle is out of the shop (annual maintenance), I'll be back on that for my primary commute.
