Cappuccinos first popped up as the 'Kapuziner' in Viennese coffee houses in the 1700s. A description of the 'Kapuziner' from 1805 described it as "coffee with cream and sugar," and a description of the drink from 1850 adds "spices" to the recipe.

Either way, these drinks had a brown color similar to the robes worn by the Capuchin ('Kapuzin') friars in Vienna, and this is where their name came from.

Although the name 'Kapuziner' was used in Vienna, the actual cappuccino was invented in Italy, and the name was adapted to become 'Cappuccino.'

It was first made in the early 1900a, shortly after the popularization of the espresso machine in 1901. The first record of the cappuccino we have found was in the 1930s.

'Cappuccini' (as they are known in Italy) gradually became popular in cafes and restaurants across the country.

After World War II, the cappuccino making went through some improvements and simplifications in Italy. This was largely thanks to better and more widely available espresso machines.

These improvements and the post-WWII affluence across parts of Europe set the stage for cappuccino's eventual worldwide popularity.

    Had a first round job interview today and it went well, but I lied through my teeth about the personal projects I've supposedly been doing during the pandemic. I've been sick and severely depressed, the only "personal project" I've done is slowly burn through a fuckton of weed. I passed the round but I feel irrationally guilty about this, and I can't shake the feeling.

      Sappho, absolve yourself of this guilt. They are employers, they will lie to you every chance that benefits them. You merely evened the playing field. I have never been 100% truthful with an employer.

      (Aside, I hope your depression subsides. Recently, I too was severely depressed. I'm a little better now.)

      You should not feel guilt to steal when you are hungry, by the same logic you should not feel guilty about lying in an interview. Being sick and depressed is rough, working on unpaid personal projects through that solely to fluff up a resume would be insane and likely only would have made you feel worse; finding a way to handle the pandemic was much more important.

      Are you feeling guilty, or are you scared that they might find you out? If it's the former fuck them, if it's the latter, RH is really bad about doing their diligence with stuff they can easily verify, if you got in with personal project stuff, which is essentially unverifiable, you're golden.
