Lol, yeah I figured after looking at the other comments 😅

But I’m glad it explained something!

Do you mean foam that’s made from an espresso machine?

It’s a combination between the actual milk/cream they use, their machines, and technique.

It’s likely that the cafe is using higher quality milk or cream specifically for cafes. Especially with alternative mills, many brands have a barista blend that has a higher fat content which helps maintain the stability of the foam. For traditional milk, it’s likely they’re using whole milk or half and half which has higher fat content than like 2% or lower.

The machines that cafes use are also professional coffee makers. They’re designed to control all the aspects of the coffee making process. When it comes to foaming & steaming milk, you can normally control the volume and intensity of the steam.

And of course, people working in cafes are making coffee and foaming milks for them almost back to back for hours on a shift. So they’re getting more experience and perfecting their techniques to get the perfect foam. From getting a perfect swirl in the cup to evenly steam and warm all the milk and fold air creating micro bubbles, to also getting a feel for the perfect temperature for the milk. All of those things are dialed in to create better foam.

If you’re only making coffee daily at home without the same tools and ingredients of a cafe, it’ll be a while before you get exactly the same level of foam as you get at a cafe.

Apparently it’s called gendramorphy where the chromosome development early on in embryonic development doesn’t happen correctly leading to one side having male sex organs and the other side having female. But it isn’t always the case that bicolored lobsters are gendramorphs, however it can be a sign of it.

Aren’t the bicolored ones chimeras and/or also hermaphroditic?

This is riddled with red flags. You’re absolutely right to kick him out and leave him!

His temper, him not wanting you to hangout with friends or work, all of those things are isolating behaviors. Typically, those lead to escalations of abuse. Get out and stay out now!

This is very much a reason to get cold feet.

Your fiancé realized something about himself and feels the need to explore that. That’s fine in and of itself. But that also means that he’s not ready to “settle down” and commit to being in a monogamous relationship and marriage to you. That is also okay. But that is the reality that the two of you need to accept.

You know you’re not interested in a form of open relationship where he’d be able to explore his sexuality physically with men while also committed to you. That’s fine. The two of you need to have an honest discussion about what you both want and need for your lives and from each other.

If you come to the conclusion that he needs to explore this and he can’t be happy and healthy without doing that, and you can’t be happy and healthy in a relationship where he does, then that just means it’s not the right timing for you two. And that can be okay. Sometimes we meet great people but at the wrong time in our lives and that just is what it is.

Really depends on where you’re at. Everywhere I’ve lived in the US, water was a public utility run and managed by the city or municipality. It may be the case that where you live, for a host of reasons, the city may have privatized the water system. Or it might actually be a public/private partnership and the public facing side of it might be the private corp.

But there’s no objective answer to your question.

The effects of tobacco are relatively isolated to those who use it. Granted it does raise overall costs for healthcare. But in the US, we often control second hand effects by regulating, heavily, where you can smoke (at least in public, and at the local/state levels).

Alcohol, is generally only dangerous when overused/abused. The poison is in the dose, not the substance. So we do criminalize and regulate how you can interact in public while under the influence. You can’t drive or operate machinery because those are the primary ways that alcohol will affect someone else.

But in general aside from community effects, we tend to think that people are responsible for their own individual health. Granted we do criminalize and ban other drugs that tend to be more addictive and dangerous. But I think that’s simply because tobacco and alcohol are just old and are institutions (at least in “western” cultures). There’s just not enough will to fully ban them.

In theory and without regard to ethics, yes.

But there are a few major problems.

1. Some STDs are more difficult to test for, accurately, than others. Herpes is a good example. It’s not an easy one to detect and our testing for it is not very accurate. So it’s difficult to tell who we’d need to actually isolate.

2. More of a question of what you mean by isolating? Some STDs can be passed on without direct sexual contact. For example, kissing can spread herpes if someone has an outbreak and doesn’t know it. And because of the inaccuracy of testing, it’s possible for people to have and spread it without knowing. So how far does isolating go? Anyone who’s ever had a sore or blister near their mouth? And are they completely separated from wider society?

3. Stigma is a real thing, and you’d be reinforcing stigmas for very little benefit. Almost all STDs are curable (those that are bacterial infections). Those that aren’t (viral infections) are extremely manageable in today’s medicine. Someone who contracts HIV/AIDS can live a long and full life with good, regular treatment as one example. So there’s no dire/medical reason to separate them from society and reinforce stigma against them and cause psychological harm to them when we can treat every STD pretty well.
