Where are you that indie coffee shops aren't open at 6am? I just looked at all the coffee shops near me and they all open 6:30 or earlier except for one located inside a mall.

It's "groos" which he made up on the spot. https://genius.com/2582537

What would shooting yourself accomplish? They'd just replace you within a week.

Fahrenheit: 0=cold, 50=mild, 100=hot
Celsius: 0=moderately cold, 50=dangerously hot, 100=dead

It makes no difference to me if the boiling point of water is 100°C or 212°F, if I see it boiling the pasta goes in.

In a scientific context Celsius and metric in general are superior without a doubt. But to live my life Fahrenheit works just fine.

Gas ovens are not necessarily going to cause asthma. You can mitigate the amount of air pollution that they produce but having a gas oven doesn't necessarily mean a child will develop asthma or that they will even be the cause. Florida has a very small amount of gas stoves and yet have a median share of asthmatic children. There's too many other factors that can effect the data link to say for sure that gas ovens are a leading cause.

There's a picture of a mug on the Wikipedia page with the warning.

Furthermore, Prop 65's name isn't all it does. The Prop 65 labels you see in products are there because of the second part of the act. "No person in the course of doing business shall knowingly and intentionally expose" anyone to those chemicals "without first giving clear and reasonable warning."

That's what the warning labels are for. It has little to do with the production process and disposal process, and is there to warn the consumer of the final product being purchased and what it contains.

The biggest issue with Prop 65 is that the lost of chemicals includes things that cause cancer under specific conditions that consumers aren't likely to encounter and chemicals only known to cause cancer in animals. Ceramic fiber is a listed chemical, which means you need a Prop 65 label on ceramic mugs, even though ceramic fiber exposure would only occur upon breaking the mug and the effects would be negligible unless you're crushing mugs up into powder and railing the lines like Tony Montana.
