Jeff's Tumblr is still the best.

Oh snap, what's good Musubi?

 

[Strax]

heh, when you have a full time job in the future, you'll come to appreciate the godly drink known as coffee. I only drink one small cup a day.

Coffee drinkers and smokers are in sooo many cases terrible co-workers because they are always holding my damn time hostage. "I'm just going out for a smoke" or "I'm getting a new cup of coffee, I'll be right back" and we can't start meetings.

The worst is when I'm on a film set and its a smoke breaks at least every two hours or people can't focus. So in 12 hour shoot maybe 45 mins go towards smoke breaks.

Edit.

Wrote smoke breaks first but then changed it to brakes.
SMH

 

[BreezyLimbo]

Smokers are indeed the worst

 

[skLaFarebear]

Coffee drinkers aren't anywhere near as bad as smokers since at the least, coffee drinkers don't need to take a coffee break every hour.

how is this even a comparison

you people are insane

That just sounds like horrible fucking people. You have a time for a meeting you be there for that damn meeting at that time

I'm not saying they are the same. Coffee takes much less time from people, no doubt.

smoke breaks are the biggest scams.

I agree. It's a bad comparison.

 

[Glitchesarecool]

do you think if the people in tharsis smoked they would have had a better time on the space ship

 

[RepairmanJack]

smoke breaks are the biggest scams.

I work with some people that complain when their time on the clock get's scrutinized, but then they'll take half hour smoke brakes every two hours while we're only supposed to get two 15 minute breaks in a day. I wonder why your time gets scrutinized?!

do you think if the people in tharsis smoked they would have had a better time on the space ship

Going by smokers maybe they'd have less stress? But I don't think I've ever met a smoker that doesn't look stressed as hell while smoking.

smoke breaks are where all the decisions get made you owe it to you carrier to take up smoking!


i've quit now but over the years i have often talked through some lighting problem or new way to shoot something while standing out side slowly killing myself with the director or dp.

 

[kvk1]

would you rather be colleagues with a smoke breaker or a vape breaker

 

[Salty Catfish]

I'll bet the Tool fan from Jeff's tumblr takes smoke AND coffee breaks.

 

[Frith]

vapers don't take breaks but you cant find them in the cloud

 

[Sleeping Lesson]

I'd criticize smokers with you guys but I'm sitting here on my tenth GAF break of the day.

 

[bigkrev]

My friends who cannot function without 2 cups of coffee a day tell me i'm killing myself because I occasionally have a 5 hour energy.

People don't seem to equate being addicted to caffeine as an actual addiction.

 

[Glitchesarecool]

Do vapors need a break? I mean the point is to get the smokers away from everyone so that second hand smoke isn't a problem.

 

[daveo42]

Smoke breaks are pretty bad, plus they smell up the area outside near their "butt hutt"

Ugh, coffee is so gross. Why bother drinking something so bitter and unpalatable that you have to add all this shit to it?

Good coffee doesn't need anything added to it and it's relatively easy to brew a good cup at home with next to no effort.

At this point doing actual work is a break from gaf for me.

 

[Jimmyfenix]

Hey everyone. I started a new job yesterday.

Maybe now I can buy the Witness and not feel guilty about spending the money.

congrats on the new job!!

Oh, I see.

Yeah, I don't know how any of that works.

A lesser known streamer I admire on Twitch has taken to the stuff. He used to stream Elite: Dangerous in the evenings but the other day he spent a few hours reviewing different vape liquids and talked about wanting to create a website for his scores.

I haven't felt such betrayal and deep disappointment in a long time.

 

[Piston Hyundai]

I don't think coffee is a good thing to start drinking.

Not a good look, New Dan.

I have totally caught myself sighing in exasperation when something comes up that I have to actually go do. How dare I have to work at work?

 

[Fireblend]

Yuck, coffee. Here in Costa Rica everyone requires the stuff to function. I've never been able to drink it and whenever I do it's like 75% milk.

Ok but your coffee is probably fucking super good.

 

[soundscream]

Natural orange juice is great. don't drink from concentrate or the fake stuff.



if you get enough sleep and don't feel fatigued enough to drink coffee, you are one lucky bro.

I work 50+ hours a week and on a good day I get maybe 6 hrs of uninterrupted sleep, yet I don't drink coffee. Never wanted to have it as a crutch, so I just fight through the tiredness. Honestly once I'm out of bed and moving around I'm good to go. But getting out of bed is hell on earth.

On some level that is so hilarious.

 

[MassiveNights]

I didn't drink coffee for 25 years but it turns out I just hated coffee with milk in it.

Black coffee is incredible.

 

[SummitAve]

If you like taking shits, you'll love coffee!

 

[Salty Catfish]

I have to imagine coffee is a tough thing to enjoy drinking when you start in your 30s like Dan is about to. I love the stuff, but I've been drinking it black since I was around 16 or 17. It's like giving someone a Guinness for their first beer.

This sounds like it should be an email into the bombcast....or would it be better suited for the beastcast?

as far as Heavy D songs go, I guess

I just started recently, it's fine.

I'd relate it to giving someone a very hoppy beer, like Bell's Two Hearted Ale. Harsh to the taste buds if you aren't use to the taste. I started drinking coffee in my 20s and only recently got into good coffee in my late 20s.

I'm 32 and hate coffee. Caffeine never wakes me up anyway.

do you drink anything else for caffeine?

 

[daydream]

only really started drinking coffee around a year ago. started with cappuccino/latte macchiato, moved on to cafe latte and espresso macchiato and now i can stomach a regular espresso if i'm in the mood for it. thanks, milk!

i only have about 4-5 cups a week, though, otherwise it's just water and the occasional tea for me

I'm not a big beer drinker but Guinness from the tap taste better than most beers IMO. From the can it's toilet water tier.

 

[ratcliffja]

No. I try to avoid putting that stuff in my system. I mostly drink water and sometimes milk.

I drink one small cup of coffee in morning and drink water for the rest of the day. it's a good feeling. what milk do you drink?

 

[BreezyLimbo]

At the DMV

downloading Witness at home. I just wanna be home

 

[ratcliffja]

Ha no. I drink a little bit of skim milk in the morning sometimes, but not near as much as I used to.

 

[MassiveNights]

A Guinness was my first pint!

 

[Brashnir]

Skim milk? SKIM?

I will turn this thread around....

 

[soundscream]

Ha no. I drink a little bit of skim milk in the morning sometimes, but not near as much as I used to.

Ewwww a skimmer!

You can't cure and smoke human meat in space.
