Judge Halts Nurse Bloomberg's Soda Ban
— Ace

@gabriel_malor notes that the decision is from the "New York Supreme Court," but remember, New York names its courts oddly; the "Supreme Court" is the lowest-level court. (The highest level court, analagous to the US Supreme Court, is the Court of Appeals.)

But still a nice thing.

The regulations are "fraught with arbitrary and capricious consequences," the judge wrote. "The simple reading of the rule leads to the earlier acknowledged uneven enforcement even within a particular city block, much less the city as a wholeÂ….the loopholes in this rule effectively defeat the state purpose of the rule."

If this is the suit noted by the next article (which I'm 99% sure it is), then the action to enjoin was brought by the American Beverage Association and a local Korean grocer.

Starbucks will continue selling sugary coffee drinks under the "half milk" loophole, a special little loophole created by Bloomberg and his minions to make sure that the Crusading Liberal White People who support this ban are actually not affected by this ban. If Starbucks had been included in the ban, the shrieking from Bloomberg's Crusading Liberal White People supporters would have been deafening, and the thing would have been killed.

So they made certain that the ban didn't apply to White People's Big Gulps, even though they contain nearly as much sugar and much more caffeine than Other People's Big Gulps.

For example, Lattes are exempt because theyÂ’re more than half milk and itÂ’s OK for customers to fill their own cups of large coffee with all the sugar they want.

Starbucks announced it plans to continue offering 20 ounce venti-sized drinks because of the milk content. Like DunkinÂ’ Donuts, customers will also be able to add their own sugar to their coffee.

Note to Bloomberg: Milk itself is full of sugar.

Below, for no good reason except it's funny, Paul Rudd questions Starbucks' size-naming conventions.

2 As I posted in the last thread:

That CS Lewis quote should be fucking etched on Bloomberg's tombstone.

"Of all tyrannies, a tyranny exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It may be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end, for they do so with the approval of their own conscience."

22 I pointed this out in the previous thread, but I'm not all excited by this ruling. All it really says is that it can't be uniformly enforced. If they submit a new rule which they can uniformly enforce, that one would probably pass muster. That is: the injunction is not because the judge said, "No, you can't tell people what they can or cannot drink," the injunction is because the judge said, "If you're going to tell people what they can or cannot drink, it has to be uniform."

*clambers up* It is so freaking annoying when doing research out of state and trying to figure out how the hell the court system is arranged wherever it is you're looking. NY Supreme Court is the lowest level, California has approximately eleventy bazillion different circuits, Superior Court could mean anything, it could be a trial court, it could be an appellate court, you just don't know. It's an exciting adventure of adventurousness! Then there's Louisiana. Napoleonic Code? Really? Really? Annnnnnd I'm stuck.

64 The ruling is better than that (struck down on "uniformity" problems.)  The judge flat said the Board did not have authority to regulate sales of an otherwise legal food product for a non-imminent threat to health of the people of new york,  and that if it wished to create one Bloomberg could not arrange this unilaterally or through the board, but only through legislation of city council.

“We're not banning anything. It's called portion control,” Bloomberg said Sunday on CBS’s "Face the Nation." “It's a typical way that companies use to and governments use to explain to people what's in their interest and what isn't.”
That is a scary quote. In his mind, the government knows what's best for me, better than I do.

Danny's stupid.  "Large" is a relative, not descriptive term.  As long as the company selling you a product is consistent, it doesn't matter if their large is called Fuzzle and small is called Whuzzle.  If there is a subscript that lets you know the size in a common unit of measurement, who cares?  Gimme cc or liter or quart or pints.  I Don't Care.

95 Pro tip for Mr. Bloomberg: if you want the law to stand, don't frame it as a ban on 20 oz drinks. Frame it as an individual mandate that your subjects purchase a 16 oz drink, and tax them if they don't. Fix it before we hear the case, and you'll be set.

He's not "stupid", the character is making fun of a ridiculous and pretentious convention at a coffee store.  Yes, you "can" call a "large" coffee anything you like, but what's wrong with "large"?

There is a coffee place near where I work that's even more ridiculous then "Venti", if you can believe that.  The "small" coffee is called a "tall".

Me: Can I have a small regular coffee?
"Barista": You mean a "tall"?
Me (perplexed):  Is it the smallest one you offer?
"Barista": Yes, unless you want an espresso.
Me: Can I have a small regular coffee?

116 Why don't they just call it a coffee milk shake? It doesn't sound pretentious enough. girl behind counter says the new 'blonde roast' actually has higher caffeine than the regular roast. Any reason to believe this is true? Just off-hand it sounds like it could be. Presumably the roasting process would destroy some of the caffeine. A blonde roast would be a very, very light roast- meaning less time roasting- meaning less caffeine burned-off/destroyed. But that's just a SWAG. Perhaps someone who knows something about chemistry could tell us better.

121 22 I pointed this out in the previous thread, but I'm not all excited by this ruling. All it really says is that it can't be uniformly enforced. If they submit a new rule which they can uniformly enforce, that one would probably pass muster. That is: the injunction is not because the judge said, "No, you can't tell people what they can or cannot drink," the injunction is because the judge said, "If you're going to tell people what they can or cannot drink, it has to be uniform." --- While true on the face of it, I think eliminating the loophole that protects the Super-Mocha-Chochachino-Rappuchino-AlPacino will upset enough people that it may not be worth re-passing the law.

Its highly caffienated, I can tell you that from experience, though I can't really say if its more or less caffienated then the regular (already over-caffienated) Starbucks coffee.

But far more important, the "blonde" is actually shi#$y tasting coffee, and after making the mistake of coming home with a pound of it, I'm never buying any again.

Try driving in NYC nowadays. The douchebag has created bike lanes and pedestrian walkways and all sorts of shit that has fucked up the traffic in the entire city.

Posted by: CharlieBrown'sDildo at March 11, 2013 04:01 PM (3Mkrp)

Shit, not just driving, checking the bike lane before you walk across the intersection is now a must or you'll be run over by those bikers who can't bother to follow traffic signals, because when they hop on their bicycle, they suddenly become made of titanium.

In Chelsea, I noticed they put separate little red and green bicycle-shaped lights at the interections too.  I was bitching about it loudly and this woman walking behind me gave me the hairy-eyeball.

I was bitching because the city dished out a ton of money to put up another set of lights for bicycles that 100% duplicates the street traffic lights with the exception that they have little bicycle shaped cutouts.  If they can't work out that driving across a street against the light get's them smeared across half a city block, then a little shape isn't going to save them. 

And as I bitched about it, I watched a bike ride right through his special little light against traffic.

160 Man to be sentenced Friday for sub Miami fire By Clarke Canfield - The Associated Press Posted : Monday Mar 11, 2013 9:29:23 EDT PORTLAND, Maine — Federal prosecutors are recommending that a young New Hampshire man be sentenced to nearly 20 years in prison for setting fire to a nuclear-powered submarine docked in Maine, causing an estimated $450 million in damage. In a sentencing memorandum filed Friday in U.S. District Court, the U.S. attorney’s office recommended the top of the sentencing range allowed under an agreement in which Casey James Fury pleaded guilty to setting fire to the Miami. RELATED READING 11/8: Man pleads guilty to setting sub Miami fire The agreement limits Fury’s sentence to roughly 15 to 19 years. Prosecutors are seeking a sentence of 19 years and seven months, the maximum allowed under the agreement between 1/2 billion dollars of damage and growing and that's all he gets. Hang him from a yardarm!

Btw, when were the Native Americans indigenous to the USA guaranteed the right to vote?

The whole Republican Party anti-slavery initial platform was, intentions aside, their own effective way of adding new voters to their affect elections in favor of the GOP.

Likewise, to gain voter advantage, the Democrats legitimize the illegal aliens with a registration to vote, along with US social security numbers, drivers licenses that don't reveal citizenship status. In fact, comprehensive immigration reform would likely be used to effect a constitutional amendment, even if only in policy which has been already in effect since GWB. Eventually, citizenship is beside the point, regardless of nationality given the open boarders NAFTA, etc.

I can go in, pour myself a cup, 16 oz, and be back in my car before the mommie's at Starbucks have found a parking space. The Starbucks mommies started parking in front of the deli, so they put up a big sign, NO Starbucks Parking.

I used to make a little pot of espresso (always Starbucks beans, FWIW) at a little machine at my desk at work, then share it with my co-workers.  One week, most of them were away for some industry conference, and I made the same pot as always.   With nobody there, and a pot of yummy espresso right in front of me, I ended up drinking the whole pot myself over the course of the morning.

Sounds like a lot, but it was really only maybe 8 or 10 ounces total.  

About two hours later I had such a bad tremor in my hands from the caffiene I literally couldn't work!

257 Meh, burgers are, I think, a little better than McD's just because it isn't McD's.  I am really particular about hamburger meat and don't usually eat hamburgers anywhere other than home.  I want to know what's in the meat.  Same reason I can't do Taco Smell.  If it's any help to you my 24 year old son thinks they are good.

258 I don't know about burgers, but DQ has (or, at least, used to have - been awhile since I had one) something called a Mocha Moo Latte (since this is kinda a coffee thread). Man, them things are good. Bears only a passing resemblance to anything coffee, mind you. Much more of a milk shake.

306 A Jewish attorney representing a suspected would-be terrorist in New York Federal Court has asked the judge to bar Jews from sitting on the jury, saying his client’s anti-Israel rhetoric may sway opinion. Frederick Cohn, representing Abdel Hameed Shehadeh over charges that he lied to authorities about attempting to join the Taliban, is set to begin jury selection this week. On Monday, Cohn was quoted in the New York Post as saying that “Given that there’s going to be inflammatory testimony about Jews and Zionism, I think it would be hard for Jews to cast aside any innate antipathy.” In February, Cohn told federal Judge Eric Vitaliano that he was “not wild about having Jews on the jury in this case.” At the time, his request was blasted by federal prosecutors William Sarratt and James Loonam. Sarratt told the judge at the time that does not believe magistrate Judge Robert Levy, who will hear the case, “will be ready to violate the Constitution and exclude people from the jury on the basis of their religious beliefs.” Cohn said that “the American Jewish community is heavily aligned with Israel and Zionism. Here is a guy who is a Muslim, who is opposed to those things.” Well since it's it NYC, I wonder if blomberg, JINO, has an opinion on this. See how I kept this on topic with the thread?

There are two kinds of coffee beans:

Arabica; these are the tasty ones you want and

Robusto; these are the one that taste like wet cardboard and are found in Maxwell house and other cheap coffees.  To offset the nasty taste, they do have a lot of caffeine.

In the morning that shit was great, after lunch it would take the paint off your car. Some of those women key board workers drank it all day.

303 On coffee, fresh roasted (big and oily) columbian beans are the way to go. "Arabica" as near as I can tell is a shitty bean slightly better than floor sweepings, that is marketed as if it's something special.

 

---------

 

Eh, well...to each his own.

Arabica beans originally came from Africa, I think...so it's a different type of plant.

 

Columbian coffee has an after-taste that's sort of bitter to my taste buds.

I can drink it, but I prefer the lighter, nutty taste of Arabica.

Although Harroun was never deployed during his three-year hitch, he has seen plenty of combat fighting with Syrian rebels and, more recently, Jabhat al-Nusra, a group the U.S. State Department classifies as an alias for Al Qaeda in Iraq. His father, Darryl Harroun, told FoxNews.com that his son was discharged from the Army after he was seriously injured while riding in a pickup truck that hit a tree.

For years, we had one of those coffee-makers that would stop brewing when you pulled out the pot...

 

I noticed that the 'first coffee' coming out of the grinds had a delicious flavor that was diluted, after more water was run through the grinds.

So I began to abuse this.

I got hooked on the flavor of that 'first coffee'.

 

So my husband bought me a Keurig...so that I could have that flavor with each cup.
