It's from an old far side cartoon

It's color is black, but it's not black the type. Cold brew, espresso, and chickory are also blackthe color, but they're not what you ordered if you wanted black the type.

I know everyone is here for the same thing, and we've all been correcting this image since it showed up five years ago, but an Americano is not a black coffee.

It is however, coffee that is black, but if I ordered one and got the other, I'd know somethings up.

Also, I really don't know why people drink americano. To me they just taste like cigarettes, but I'm currently drinking chicory so my opinion is moot.

Yeah it's a good thing homework doesn't exist.

-a matter of legal and economic interpretation

If there's a possible interpretation that a company is a monopoly, they're a monopoly.

The description of that device and subscription is so fucking stupid I'm not even mad. If you fell for it that hard, you deserve whatever they throw at you.

Burgers are greasy, that doesn't bother me. Brioche buns are sweet and too thick, that's what bothers me.

Stop putting sugar in everything. I don't want a sweet Burger

Only for marketplace. Haven't posted anything in years, and before that never anything meaningful.

If you can't tell the difference in quality between zenni and OvvO, lool, or paradigm frames, you're willfully ignorant. I wouldn't expect someone who only gets glasses online to know this since you have no experience. I however do.

As for issues with lenses, I see 25 patients a day, and have for the last 12 years. I've seen a few more cases than you and your wife, or even you and your friends.

Your opinions are not equal to my education and experience. I am literally an authority in this industry.

I've designed frames and vetted manufacturing plants to find one that fit my standards for materials. I make lenses everyday. I troubleshoot and fix or replace eyewear everyday. I know what happens when a focal point is off center by 3 mm. I can tell when someone is wearing online glasses just by how the temples fit.

There are a few very large companies that benefit greatly from pushing the idea that they're all the same, and you're shilling for them whether you know it or not.

I don't feel like quoting or typing out responses, so I'll just hit your points.

1. No they're fucking not. Not even close. There's 200+ different manufacturers, and even individual lines from the same companies have wildly different qualities. I would know, since I work with them every day, go to several trade shows every year and didn't get my info from Google.

2. Survivorship bias, and you just noted you don't wear them.

3. This point is attempting to imply there is no difference in products, which there absolutely is.

4. My line of frames is not a "big name", and was only sold in 54 offices in 4 countries when I had them manufactured in 2021. There is no benefit to me for anyone to go to any store other than the two I own, you'll never bump into my line, which I don't make money from anyway.

I'm glad you watched a video once, but this is my profession and I know better than you.
