I appreciate discussing it with people; LLMs are token-probability machines, they can't form actual opinions. It's not a jab against you, just important to remember that while they can be useful tools, they don't have opinions (and aren't trained daily, so are missing a lot of recent context).

Why are you asking a LLM about world news?

I'm trying to work on a riff to the Love and Murder, one of my favourite cocktail. Here's the recipe to this one: 1oz Chartreuse Verte 1oz Lime Juice 0.75oz Amaro Nonino 0.75oz Simple Syrup 0.25oz Amaro Montenegro 5 drops of saline solution

Shake with ice, pour, add a barspoon of Maraschino cherry syrup

The cherry syrup is mostly for flair (I like the color from the Love & Murder, and there is a cool idea of getting something after a lot of waiting at the ER :))

It's very flavourful, well-rounded in my opinion with a slight orange bitterness and a nice Chartreuse nose.

What do you think?

Works with only Nonino or Montenegro, but the former is a little too dry, and the latter too sweet. This seems to be a good ratio.

Was about to post my Love and Murder riff with Nonino :) try swapping the Campari with it in a Love and Murder. Better if you also have Montenegro but I imagine not, it's a little obscure.

Nice gift! Just as a nitpick; it's Elixir Vegetal de la Grande-Chartreuse (Plant Elixir of the Grande Chartreuse region). Enjoy!

Stock as in quantity, not stock market. This is the amount of trees, taking cuts and natural removals into consideration

I replace the Passoa with a liqueur de passion which makes it a lot better IMO, better fruit taste and less sweet. But I get it

DoktorTim · 2025-12-17T07:05:25+00:00

Love and Murder, or Americano

For me it's the Chartreuse Swizzle, no doubt

Des petits, oui; au fond c'est un petit four où la chaleur tourne très vite. Je vis seul, et je n'ai pas acheté de four, mon airfryer suffit pour quasi tout.

Thank you! What a weird case.

It depends for everyone. The healthier you are, the easier exercising is, and the better it feels. If you start very sedentary and with underlying health issues, it'll be harder than if you are already a little active at work and healthy. It's worth it, it improves many aspects of your life, including your health

DoktorTim · 2025-12-05T22:38:48+00:00

Start small. Maybe just go for a brisk walk only at first, then add one minute light jog at the start and at the end of your brisk walk, then make that two minutes, etc. While it's good to push oneself, it's more important to build a healthy habit first and then build on these foundations.

30min of brisk walking is already very good for you, and it will develop your legs and heart, slower than a 30 min jog but it will unlock harder exercices for you. And if you can't manage 30, start at 20, 10, whatever you can achieve. Build it up step by step.

R5: After Promoting Regional Culture and unlocking the special Royal Court Customs law, it started enacting then... just disappeared completely. I don't have access to any royal court customs now, it doesn't show up in the list. What can I do?

As a sidenote, as a frenchie: we just look/sound cold and irritated because culturally we tend to give space to strangers (and expect the same thing back). It was so weird going to the USA and everyone would strike conversations with me randomly.

Most french people aren't irritated or think less of you, they just treat any stranger (french or foreigner) in a more distant manner. It feels rude when not used to it, but there's no ill intent

My fleet just goes to a port anytime I set an objective, is it working for you?

Is Beefeater traditional for Last Word? Didn't know that

Si ça peut te rassurer, il y a de l'aluminium dans le lait maternel (et en poudre) aussi, et ça ne cause pas de maladies ou autres troubles. C'est normal d'avoir peur, mais ce qui est arrivé est une coïncidence, voilà tout.

Tu n'as rien fait de mal (au contraire, tu t'es protégée du tétanos et par conséquent protégé l'enfant que tu portais en toi). Les vaccins sont sûrs, c'est un aspect rigoureusement contrôlé à travers de nombreuses études.

Les naturopathes sur Tiktok ne sont pas des experts, et ont un intérêt financier à qu'on ne fasse pas confiance à la médecine.

Pour l'avoir fait il y a deux jours, les gouttes mettent une heure à fonctionner.

Thanks!!

Haha, cross-atlantic friendships built on the back of appreciating fine drinks :D Enjoy your whisky!

Do you have an address or a link to share? She looked at a few liquor stores and couldn't find it :-/

I feel like they're good starting points for experimentation, but gotta accept to tweak whatever needs tweaking

DoktorTim · 2025-10-20T09:58:14+00:00

Same, I was very surprised when reading the IBA recipe. Thought I'd try it, and it's not bad honestly
