I haven't tried it yet. I saw an episode of Hawaii 5-0 2-3 weeks ago where the McGarrett put butter in his coffee. My first thought was ewe. Then I just read an article about 19 coffee hacks every coffee drinker should know. http://bit.ly/1BZOzhA
Now this is absolutely weird. I saw my wife put butter in her coffee this morning and now you ask this question. I guess I will have to try it out now. :)
David Heffernan - It's marked as off topic, and doesn't relate to computing (except how most programmers have some sort of relation with caffeine), nor is it a rant about things we can't control.
Lars Fosdal I guess our difference is in what we regard as constructive, informative and helpful. I don't think this post is, but you disagree. I'm fine with that, after all, this is your place! :-)
David Heffernan Personally, I prefer that posts are on-topic, or at least related to our trade skills or tools - but I also enjoy the occasional comic relief .
I never said that this post was constructive, informative and helpful. However, it is marked as off-topic and it 's not negatively angled.
Are you suggesting that we should forbid off-topic posts?
Lars Fosdal If there was an easy way for us to mute them I see no problem. Perhaps there is and I don't know it.
I personally think that criticising parts of Delphi that are weak is constructive. If nobody criticises, they might never realise that we don't like these parts of their product. I personally think that such criticism is far more helpful and useful than posts about Windows shortcuts (or non-Windows shortcuts as it happened to be), butter and coffee. I don't really think there's much value in the parts of this group that read like this: http://www.theguardian.com/theguardian/2005/jun/10/features11.g22 That's my opinion, FWIW.
I also recognise that different people have different stances on whether or not Embarcadero should be criticised. I know that a significant number of Delphi developers get upset by criticism from "inside the tent". They take the stance that we should be promoting it and not knocking it. As I'm sure people here realise, that is not my opinion.
David Heffernan I find myself repeating ad nauseam that, IMO, the right place to discuss and criticise EMBT, has to be on its official boards, as that is the primary place that somebody official can read and comment. Without official responses, such posts are pretty much pointless.
Opinions are cheap and there is a massive difference between posting sarcastic polls and posting f.x quality portal entries, asking people to vote them up, or posting suggested features, workarounds, or actual implementations.
If you feel that there truly is a need for such discussions outside the official EMBT forums, you could create a community with that purpose and share it here. I'll put up the link if you do.
Never tried butter, but I have tried whiskey in my coffee many times. In RSA we call it Irish Coffee - a wine class full of black coffee with a shot or two of whiskey and fresh cream on the top. Not sure if other countries also do this - probably do.
Umm, maybe I should try whiskey+coffee at work on Mondays - it should help get over those Monday Blues. :-)
no, but I'm curious, how is it?

ReplyDeletesounds horrible - no!
ReplyDeleteJust tried it. It's not too bad. At home I drink coffee with light cream and no sugar. At work I drink coffee black.
ReplyDeleteAdding butter really smooths out the bitter taste of black coffee.
Plz don't!! Coffee only espresso. alone, or with milk!
ReplyDeleteEww, coffee! ;-)
ReplyDeleteI tried tea with butter once (after I read it's common in some areas of asia), didn't like it though.

ReplyDeleteA lot of people swear by BulletProof coffee. Same concept with added coconut oil. https://www.bulletproofexec.com/how-to-make-your-coffee-bulletproof-and-your-morning-too/
ReplyDeleteButter in coffee is traditional in Lapland, I've been told. Also, salt in stead of sugar.
ReplyDeleteCoffee belongs in chocolate cakes and that's about it :P

ReplyDeleteHimalayans put butter in their tea. Butter is churned cream after all, so it's not that weird :)
ReplyDeleteThomas Mueller full ack. I dont like coffee, too. Nothing is better than a good tea!
ReplyDeleteI did, sometimes my cream IS butter. Not nice, does not dissolve, only floats in small bubbles.
ReplyDeleteI have been using a salted caramel syrup in my coffee as of late. It is sweetened and I have quit using any other sweeteners.
ReplyDeleteUse grass fed butter. Kerrygold is a terrific brand.
ReplyDeleteLars Fosdal You deleted my poll, what about this ..........
ReplyDeleteDavid Heffernan - It's marked as off topic, and doesn't relate to computing (except how most programmers have some sort of relation with caffeine), nor is it a rant about things we can't control.
ReplyDeleteLars Fosdal So the rule is, no ranting? Discussions about coffee and butter are fine though? I just want to be clear.
ReplyDeleteDavid Heffernan Rants go in the unit number5 community.
ReplyDeleteAs long as the rants are constructive, informative and helpful - it's all good.
ReplyDeleteVenting rage is better done in unit number5.

Graeme Geldenhuys Yes, it is a widespread practice in civilized countries. ;)
ReplyDeleteGraeme Geldenhuys One should never drink and code ;-)
ReplyDeleteDalija Prasnikar I have maintained some of that code!
ReplyDeleteI like heavy cream in my coffee, particularly espresso.
