I don't go to starbucks for their coffee, but I do love their seasonal flavors. So I usually get a steamed milk with syrup, which is honestly a lot more affordable than their coffee.
I don't find it terrible, but unless I'm actually in need of a pep, or a drink is so obnoxiously sweet that it needs a bitter balancer, I really stick to just steamed milk.

Comic Up!
I think that today's comic page really gives us an insight into Jeph's thinking about world-building in QC. There are a great many fascinating philosophical questions that arise because of how he writes his universe and his characters. There are many deep questions to answer and he knows perfectly well that his readers will ponder them. He's just warning us that, given a straight choice between addressing these issues and making a cheap pop culture joke, he'll always go for the joke! :-P
Specifically on the subject of the comic: I consider it the worst and most unforgivable discrimination that nuns are allowed to run around in skin-tight armoured robes and cutting the heads off of various fell monsters whilst priests are relegated to sitting in wooden boxes whilst listening to parishioners' problems and solving the occasional genteel murder mystery in the English countryside or suburban Chicago.

I really liked today's issue. It's interesting to see what the church's stance is on AI's in the comic; do/can machines have souls? I'm not a christian myself, but I do like the idea that when humanity crafts something with dedication and love and then gives it life, they more or less "give" their creation a soul. If you create something that is self-aware, and can make conscious moral decisions about what they believe to be right and wrong, and can form their own opinions and world views, then, in essence, even if it was never the creators' intention, they evolve into something more. They develop their own subconscious. To quote one of my favorite lines from Mary Shelley's Frankenstein:
"And what of my soul? Do I have one? Or was that a part you left out?"
Also, the gag at the end had me in stitches. Also made me think of this:
