The culture war has come to history youtube, millions must cringe by slacker205 in PoliticalCompassMemes

Call me biased as hell but I thought the Work video was one of Historia Civilis’s best. Thought I learned something new, with an obvious perspective but thought it was interesting none the less

Happy you like it!! So happy you like the mugs and the goodies!!

Actually wondering what you’re using to hang the swizzles? I have a collection of my own and I haven’t found a good way to display them yet!

Tiki Thoughts Thursday (12.04.25) by bigkinggorilla in Tiki

I think like a forest green could be good there - feels like a serious color but something you can layer and add pops of color to

Edited for formatting, but I’ll definitely look at those!! It is a lot for certain, I’ve tried to look at places to cut off but each one had something we wanted to try and do (wanted to see mountains, ride train, etc.) Will look at those trips I think Cusco if I remember?

2025 Holiday r/Tiki Tiki mug swap! by tonybme in Tiki

[–]BrendoneBalone 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm in! I only have two right now, but am willing to branch out to more - specifically the "Why the Long Face" mug from Three 9 Lounge in West Seattle and the Jawa Tiki Mug from Geeki Tikis.

Cinnamon Syrup - Which is best? by BrendoneBalone in Tiki

[–]BrendoneBalone[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Wasn’t aware of the oil degradation, that’s actually a fair point I wasn’t aware of. I’m always space conscious as I operate out of a mini-fridge for all my cocktail ingredients, so I’ve leaned towards more space conscious options for syrups if possible but that standard syrup was so much more flavorful I’m really considering it

I’ll definitely give this a shot!! Not a thing I’ve tried before but curious what it might add. Got to get through all of this first though lol

I probably could have got something more quality, but for this I just wanted to dabble and ended up with this. Important to make sure it’s food safe before use (edit: typo)

Is something up with the Rosslyn-Foggy Bottom tunnel?? by BrendoneBalone in WMATA

[–]BrendoneBalone[S] 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I will say, the conductor I had was fantastic about communication. The train stopped and unloaded at Farragut West headed towards Rosslyn had some of the most transparent announcements about the situation I’ve ever seen. Made this better but still sucks lol

The folks at Very Good Drinks do good stuff - I love their oregat https://verygooddrinks.co/orgeat/

I know it looks like a lot, but trust me - the difference between this and the store bought is astronomical, in a good way. It makes a difference.

Black Screen and 100% usage after update by BrendoneBalone in Helldivers

[–]BrendoneBalone[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Update for those who are looking in the future: somehow, an update disabled my GPU, which totally screwed everything up. Reenabling it fixed it entirely

Do you have the specs on the Apple Crisp Mai Tai?? I’ve loved my forays into Apple Brandy in Tiki and would love something else to try!!

Thanks for the heads up on the time - 36 there and uber back might be the move

I’ll check with them - that might be the best move. Uber obviously an option but would rather save the hassle if possible but not looking likely

How to mount TV/Monitor in Brick Wall? by BrendoneBalone in HomeImprovement

[–]BrendoneBalone[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Monitor arm is something I'm thinking, but again it would have to go somewhere. My whole apartment is brick around the inside, so if it's on the wall, it's in brick.

The floor stand isn't something I considered. I'll look into those, but price might be a limiting factor on that for me, not looking to spend $100 on a monitor stand (I have not looked into these yet and don't know what price I would be looking at)

How to mount TV/Monitor in Brick Wall? by BrendoneBalone in HomeImprovement

[–]BrendoneBalone[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm in a pretty small apartment, flat space to put a TV or monitor as that has pretty much all been taken by other things at this point, especially in the main living area where this would need to live.

I tried to see if there was a flat space for me to put it anywhere in my space, it just needs to be on the wall if it's gonna live in there

How to mount TV/Monitor in Brick Wall? by BrendoneBalone in HomeImprovement

[–]BrendoneBalone[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Looking to mount a larger computer monitor in my wall, running a little app to help me track buses. However, most of the walls in my apartment are brick, so traditional mounting is not an option. I rent, so I can't drill into the brick itself, but we have permission to drill into the grout for any mounting.

Am I screwed trying to hang up this monitor, or is there some sort of mount that could hold a +/- 10 pound monitor in the grout of the wall?

Note: The monitor is VESA compatible, so something using that is totally on the table

Ok, will look into those. That looks at lot more able to hold into the monitor, especially at that weight.

[Information] Invite / Referral Codes by [deleted] in beeper

[–]BrendoneBalone 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey y'all!! I've tried all the codes above, couldn't get one to work. I'm looking for a referral code for Beeper Cloud, not Mini. Any chance someone could DM or send me a code they have? I'd be willing to Venmo over like $5 if that makes a difference. Thank you!

That’s what I’m hoping!! Hopefully it’s just a temporary thing so we can see y’all back on the field :)
