Unfortunately my regular local coffee shop is closed on Mondays. Next time I'll skip the coffee if I can't go there! 😁

I said yeah that's what a decaf is with decaf beans made like a normal drink. He said "yeah we used to have decaf but for some reason they took it away."

For the record, this manager is the person the other girl asked if they had decaf beans. He acted like he didn't know what decaf was either.

I forced myself to complain with the idea that if she did that to someone who absolutely needed decaf they could be in trouble. So she gets the manager and he offered to give me my money back but asked "So you just wanted like a decaf shot?"

She knew how to make a coffee so plenty of people have ordered before, has no one really ever ordered decaf?!

Does she think that I'd be able to taste the absence of caffeine in this drink?

So now I'm sitting here with my decidedly regular coffee bean latte trying to decide if I should drink it.

I really wish my small local coffee shop that I love was open on Monday's.

I have questions.

Has she never heard of decaf before? This place has brewed decaf every day.

She continues "If it doesn't taste right, just come back up and we'll take care of it."

I don't have the energy to make a big deal of it and I'm not sure that I'd get anywhere with it even if I did.

When she finishes she calls my name and I say "Did you find the decaf beans?" She says "Yeah, I made it decaf but the beans might not be right" (she says this while looking at the grinder's hopper full of regular beans).

After a minute I hear her ask her coworked "he where are the decaf coffee beans?" He walks over and quietly says "we don't have any." There's some muttering for a couple seconds and he walks away. She goes on making the drink.

The worker at the store looked at me after I said decaf and asked "Decaf? So like no shots?" I said no, just with decaf coffee beans. She says "Oh I got you, OK." I pay. She says she'll start on it right away.

I was at an arboretum recently and noticed a plant called globe amaranth (Gomphrena globosa) that seemed like it was likely fluorescent. Here's a paper showing its spectra www.cabidigitallibrary.org/doi/full/10....

This is the paper www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

I'm not sure. Perhaps Schrödinger's first name, so to speak.

Thank you!

Beautiful movie! Can I ask how you restrained the embryo for this timelapse? Agarose? Or was it not necessary due to the stage?
