Speaking of things that infuriate me, as a long-time Linux/Unix/Windows/MacOS user, people who don't know which way the slashes go and act like it doesn't matter drive me NUTS.
NO! It is NOT C:/LabData/MyFile, no matter how much you want it to be!
There are instances where the slash gets reversed to support certain languages (I want to say Java, but I'm too lazy to double-check), but when you're telling me, "In Windows Explorer, navigate to C:/LabData/MyFile" I just want to slap you.
Yes, it matters THAT much. Because it HAS mattered for 40+ years now...
browser goes /
file system goes \user goes ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

That might be either (a) an issue with too much exposure to browser and not enough to viewing hard drive location paths (which is very common now as Windows doesn't show them in the explorer anymore unless you start entering it manually, or (b) symptom of some degree of dysgraphia (likely undiagnosed) as the user's brain has problem with recognizing between mirrored instances of the same symbol.
To be honest, if you asked me at a random moment, I'd be baffled to discern them until I could get a moment while looking at a keyboard or a computer.
Its also one of the things I can do on autopilot, but not when consciously thinking about it.

Thankyou, Stabrukcs, from the bottom of our hearts.
I really didn't want to believe you. "People aren't that stupid, are they?"
Actual quote: "Starbucks continues to introduce new drinks and food to menus globally while innovating with plant-based ingredients across key platforms like espresso, cold brew, refreshment, food and more."
Curse it! No more meaty espresso for me!
Ahem. You forget milk and cream being ubiquotions non-vegan additions to coffee.
I am no coffee drinker so I had to check, but while basic espresso is coffee grounds + hot pressurised water - making it vegan product by default, many servings use addition of milk (e.g. cappuccino, latte), so search for milk-substitutes that will give desired effects when prepared in certain way (and announcing it to attract vegans to products they would normally would consider non-viable) makes sense.
No idea how well the results match the desired product but it's completely another matter.
Yes, but they said 'plant based coffee', not 'plant based lattes/cappucinos' or 'plant based milk substitutes', which would make sense (and which are already widely available)
EDIT: As are evidences of my NUDITY.

And having a couple Sam Adams, cause I was SHOCKED to find a beer I didn't hate (Miller, Budweiser, and Coors are f@#*ing donkey piss) with it.
Turns out the scotch was 80 proof.
And you know...unlike Weed...alcohol has a delayed reaction. So I stopped but my digestion didn't.
Am just now sober.
Sober-ish.
Not while Nigerian Guinness still exists!!

Yeah, Limey already addressed it, but they've provided non-dairy substitutes for cream since their inception. So "we're moving to plant-based espresso" when anyone's been able to walk into a Starbucks at any time in their history and get a plant-based espresso makes it a very dubious claim...

We are in the mess we're in because of such opinion pieces. We must not forget that they were written, who wrote them, and why. I'm sick of voters' short attention span, so I'm happy some nefarious force is out there, re-posting the articles that show us why the U.S. is in the state it's in right now. It's dirty pool, but in this case I approve.

3 hours. It is indeed short. Short but beautiful, the graphics, the music...
Yes, I already finished it. No, I haven't hunted for all the lighty-swirly things. I broke my controller anyway.

Mrs Sunrise and I took a mini vacation up to Flagstaff this week, and it was wonderful. High 70s to low 80s (mid-20 C's) the whole time, we even saw a downpour! Then I opened my car door after the drive home and exclaimed F%#@ YOU PHOENIX because it's still in the 110's here. X(
are you alright?

The way today has gone I want to take a relaxing walk through the woods.
Of course, the way today has gone, I will get bitten by a mosquito and contract malaria and 47 other blood-borne diseases, most of which aren't known to be present in the US.
And then I'll be attacked by a pack of wild turkeys.
And then, as I'm crawling, bloody and beaten, back to civilization, a raccoon will come by and steal my wallet.
