   That’s not really a coffee amount. It’s a brewed strength amount. Most of the flavor from the K-cup is in the first 4 ounces of brewed coffee. So the smaller cups are far stronger coffee, the larger cups are insanely weak.

   “there were also 646 mass shootings or almost two per day.”

   Before flinging statistics like that around you should know what is being counted. Exactly what is a “mass” shooting? Is a shooting the same as a killing? Last time I saw such a statistic a “mass” shooting was three or more people. Three is much smaller than the image that comes to mind when people hear the word so it’s deceptive. Almost all such killings are killings of a single family and not random.

    I tried a tax accounant once but found:

    A) He was jaust asking the same questions the tax software was (I think he was just entering it into the software himself.

    B) He had to ask me how to handle some tax situations.

    What a waste.
