I tried to order a mint iced tea at starbucks. They have Tazo majestic mint teabags so this isn’t a crazy ask. The girl working looked at me pretty dumbfounded and said she could just add some mint flavor to their iced tea. I didn’t want that (it’s too sweet), so I explained to her that she could brew the tea normally in hot water and then just pour it over a cup of ice.
What I ended up with was a cup filled with 2/3rds hot water, 1/3rd ice, and two tea bags, which resulted in room temperature water and 2 tea bags.
I tried to explain to her the situation but just finally cut my losses and took my very slightly mint flavored water.
This is the second interaction I’ve had at a starbucks regarding iced tea. It really feels like a seinfeld episode.
Also this plug thing is a little different. If I reboot the computer it will start charging. It just gets in this funk where it shows plug but no lightning bolt.
As a fellow iced tea enjoyer, it’s obnoxious about how hard it is for people to understand this stuff. Not only that, but after the pandemic it’s almost impossible to get iced tea at most fast casual places in Boston, and when I do get iced tea it’s a 50/50 on whether it’s stale/old.
Every macbook I’ve owned (going on 5 now) has done this at random times, regardless of any settings. The plug shows up but not the lightning bolt. Sometimes closing the energy hog programs helps. Usually rebooting fixes it. Every now and then you need to shut it all the way down, then turn it on again.
I’ve never noticed or never had it happen other than due to battery maintenance, I so rarely use my laptop unplugged I don’t really pay a lot of attention to charge levels though…
I think this can happen if your fan or certain apps are using so much energy that everything is going to just running the computer and nothing is going to the battery.
