At work, we have a Keurig and I drink Green Mountain Dark Magic.
At home, we have a Cuisinart and use ground coffee, Maxwell House, and well water.
No, it isn't preppy, pricy or perfect.. but since my wife and I are the ones drinking it, so as long as we are content with it, it shouldn't matter to others.

Israeli-style Turkish coffee. Ideally, it should be made over an open flame in a finjan, but security are unaccountably fussy about allowing open flames in the office.
It meets Voltaire's standard for the ideal cup of coffee: Hot as hell, black as sin, and sweet as love.
If you have an important point to make, don't try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile driver. Hit the point once. Then come back and hit it again. Then hit it a third time - a tremendous whack.

I have a coffee cooker for making Arabic/Turkish coffee. It is little more than an exposed element that gets hot as [redacted]. Makes damned good coffee though!

All coffee, whether it is instant or shat out by a civet cat, is abominable.

No sir, I am British and consequently dring tea. I am currently drinking a rather nice loose-leaf Assam tea (without any of that milk and sugar rubbish).

I used to drink tea, but with all the ceremony around the whole procedure, I find it takes around 1 hour per cup. My boss threatened to sack me.

Any morning - every morning.
Two 16oz cups.

- Second one, usually whatever bupkis[^] extract is in the company's urn.

Folgers or Maxwell House, whichever one is on sale that day, brewed through a regular drip coffee maker. I have always preferred it straight black...pour and go.
What irritates me are coffee snobs, especially at places like Starbucks.

I brew a potful at home (1 scoop caffeinated, 4 scoops decaf) and bring it to work in a 2 liter Thermos™.
We have Tassimo machines here in our cafeteria. It's okay for when I don't have the stuff from home (I commute on the bicycle sometimes).

I don't really expect a serious answer to this. I just found a few database tables which obviously had been designed by that Russian who's liver I already would have liked to be served (fried, with onions). Now I start to believe that he is actually from Eta Carinae and I'm doing my best to understand alien database design.
If I have two tables A and B and a relation table inbetween, that must be a many to many relation. Fine. Nothing unusual.
But what do you call it when there are two relation tables in a row between A and B? A many to even more relation? m to m^2?
And that's only the beginning! How about a relation table that has three relations to yet more relation tables , which have a relation to tables A, B and C. What's that? A multible m to n^3 relation? Or an omnidirectional star relation to the third degree? The Romulan relation nova?

To any russian: forgive me, I'm just playing with stereotypes for the lulz.

I disagree. Simmering it will draw out all the vodka flavor and allow the alcohol to evaporate. It should be given a quick flambe using it's own aromats for the accelerant. Top with a sauce of your choice and viola!

Without really knowing what's in the tables, I could only hazard a guess that you have one of two scenarios here.
1. The database is modelling a trie.
2. Some of these relationships are optional. An example of this could be where you have a master lookup of known names - this list is inviolate; then you have a second lookup which is a taxonomy, so you would have the taxonomy relating back to the master lookup; the idea here being that you can use a term and the search will take in the taxonomy and the master list. For instance, local government taxonomies might have the person who collects your rubbish down as "refuse collection manager" but someone might want to search on "binman" or "dustman", and these should refer to the same items.

In general, I find Russians do much better code. May be you mistook a Baltic sounding eastern European name for a Russian?

Russian programmers are usually not self taught and have benefited from a rigorous education. Baltic names don't sound Russian unless they are Russian and many are.

We already had established that he is from Eta Carinae and wants to be mistaken for a Russian. I never met him, but (great news!) he was apparently headed to the US when he left here. Here he was a sinister hack, there he may be seen as a guru. The american dream!
