But dark chocolate is a superior design tool.
We don't have any Dunkin Donuts around here, and their Boston Creme

City, on Eastmore Ave, the junk food strip. We call it Greasemore Ave.
This joint just opened near us and we've got to try it soon:

Donuts with wine parings.
Safeway makes a Boston Creme sort of thing that they call a Bismark.
They are really good, but are usually sold out.

Evolution programmed us to do some things that Miss Manners would not
approve of.
The caveman approach, or wild promiscuity, which sometimes
work, ie make babies. The problem for most of us is to balance those instincts against humanity and rationality, and still enjoy ourselves.
I'm glad I'm not a woman because women are so awesome and beautiful
that I'm glad that I'm programmed to appreciate them.
There were zero women in my EE school. It must be very different now,
with so many women in tech.
When I was a student at Tulane I was invited to present a paper at the
local IEEE chapter meeting. My wife wanted to hear it so I brought her
along. At the end, I was pulled aside and scolded that women were not
allowed as either members or guests. The fatheads didn't understand my
paper anyhow.

my retirement on my 65th Birthday.
At a meeting we were discussing the finish of the electronics box. One
of ladies wanted it to be pink The mechanical engineer explained in all seriousness, why it had to be black . I was with her on it as most
paints in the IR are black.
We had quite a few female optical and laser engineers whose

I don''t recall any in mechanical engineering or digital electronics -

Their coffee is wretched, I should know I grew up with one on every

Coffee (and chocolate) turn out to be good for you.
More research is needed on the health benefits of donuts.

Abusers of the chain here tend to get it served "regular" which means
like a quarter-cup of cream and half-dozen sugars so who cares what it

Last time I donned a stab-proof vest and visited the UK, there was a
coffee joint about every 10 yards and some of them served far more
varieties of coffee than tea. There's only a couple of teas to choose
from but over a dozen coffees. It's an outrage.

But dark chocolate is a superior design tool.
We don't have any Dunkin Donuts around here

We've had a few centuries in which to rationalise our tea blending so

Builder's tea
Afternoon tea
Gnats' p*ss
As-it-comes
In contrast that foreign Johnny-come-lately, coffee, is still relatively >immature and in a state of flux (probably caused by stirring it too >vigorously).
