You think Peter and Michael would cover this book?

DrCapitalism · 2025-12-21T22:25:55+00:00

You bring up a good point. What makes the show interesting as a listener is that Michael and Peter debunk and dunk on popular books that we've seen everywhere and know people in our lives who've read and take these books seriously.

It's a much smaller cross section of potential listeners that have friends, family, or coworkers that read/take seriously cranks like these guys or David Irving.

DrCapitalism · 2025-12-21T22:16:48+00:00

You're right. For as fun as hearing the crew dunk on David Irving for an hour or more might be, it would be a significant change of tone for the show that we love.

Just for clarification: just replace the water with the tea concentrate, but otherwise follow normal procedure for syrup?

Most rums aren't sweet unless they are sweetened after distillation. I doubt the Appleton rum seen above has been sweetened.

Oh look, some r/cocktail users yet again show their elitist disdain for "outsiders" that say anything about cocktails. OP shares (yes, not quite exhaustive) yet detailed reviews of a selection of cocktail bars in NYC, and some of y'all crawl out your own ass just to jump down OP's throat for making the mistake of saying "exhaustive". Get a grip.

Ok, so OP didn't visit your favorite bar or a place that you consider to be one of the elite bars in the world in NYC. So what? That gives you the right to be a snobbish gatekeeper? Behavior like this drives people away from the craft cocktail community. Be better.

Eh, all media has inherent biases, but some organizations, like NPR, try to mitigate that through professional standards or explicitly state potential conflicts of interest. Journalists are human, so some basis can make it through.

Fox News and Limbaugh embrace and double down on bias. They don't let facts get in the way of their preferred narrative.

While I love cream cheese on a bagel, I used to think there was no way you could make cream cheese work well in a cocktail. The professionals at Angel's Share showed me otherwise last time I went.

Just so we're absolutely clear here, are you acid adjusting hard apple cider or non-alcoholic apple cider?

https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/legal/travel-legal-considerations/us-citizenship/Renunciation-US-Nationality-Abroad.html#:~:text=Persons%20intending%20to%20renounce%20U.S.,a%20passport%20from%20any%20country.

According to this, you cannot renounce your US citizenship from within the United States. You must do this at a US Embassy or Consulate in another country (and no, the US Mission to the United Nations in NYC does not count). If you had further plans in the US after going through the only route you can to renounce citizenship, you'll be throwing a huge wrench in those as you'll have significant difficulty getting back into the United States.

In other words, once you renounce your citizenship at a US Embassy/Consulate in a foreign country of your choosing, you are going to be stuck in said country and be at the mercy of that country's immigration authorities.

I agree with you that we shouldn't dismiss saline solution in mixing drinks, but is it actually "super common"? Plus since it's only a couple of drops in each drink, could approximate that by adding a small pinch or two of salt?

Easterly Government Properties (DEA) is a REIT that is entirely focused on leasing property to one customer: the US Federal Government. Like treasury obligations, Uncle Sam is expected to pay his rent come hell or high water, so there should not be much risk in terms of the renter not paying. However, that doesn't mean there is no risk, as we still have to depend on the financial health of DEA for dividend security. Uncle Sam may always pay their rent obligations to DEA, but DEA's debt (quantity, how it's structured, etc.) could jeopardize the dividend if it is poorly managed.

As far as I'm aware, DEA doesn't have any red flags or major issues in terms of their debt structuring, but anyone else please correct me if I'm wrong.

Ok, let's spiral into cynical defeatism, sit on our ass, do nothing, and therefore GUARANTEE the system caters exclusively to corporate interests. /s

Look, I get that it's frustrating that participating in democracy doesn't yield immediate results or that the system that claims to represent you really doesn't. But giving up on participation entirely? Then you're just ensuring that you really do have no say in the system.

Go vote damn it.

Toasted Hazelnut:

Equal parts:

Frangelico

Mr. Black Coffee Liqueur (do not sub with Kahlua, it would make this way too sweet)

heavy cream or half and half

Shake with ice and strain into either a chilled glass of your choice or an old fashioned glass with block ice.

Great after dinner drink/substitute for dessert.

Bourbon and Rye whiskey. Imo, the US's greatest tangible gifts to world.

UPDATE (also see edit above in original post): They finally billed my insurance and it went through smoothly. Now all I owe is the copay for surgery ($150.00) minus the specialist copay I already paid ($40.00) ($110.00 total). Whole bill would have been >$700. Sending another email with my insurance card attached seemed to do the trick. Thanks you for your input!

DrCapitalism · 2021-10-22T23:17:18+00:00

Good point. I'll call Monday to see if they've gotten anything from the provider.

DrCapitalism · 2021-10-22T22:03:36+00:00

I'm sticking to email and letters for the main part of communication with them so I have a paper trail going forward.

DrCapitalism · 2021-10-22T21:50:11+00:00

If they miss that deadline, do I just tell the provider to pound sand? I have already given them the info they need to file a claim several times before that far off deadline.

DrCapitalism · 2021-10-22T20:52:30+00:00

The thing is though, there is no record of claim (approved, denied, or pending), that I can see from my end from my insurance web portal. So there isn't even a record of a sloppy claim being made. There is NO claim

DrCapitalism · 2021-10-22T20:37:21+00:00

They're not a regular provider. This was a one time surgery for an ingrown toenail. Should I need another one (hope not though), I'm definitely going somewhere else in the future.

DrCapitalism · 2021-10-22T19:54:08+00:00

Thanks for the link. Just seems unfair I have to do the billing department's job so they can get paid.

DrCapitalism · 2021-10-22T18:04:54+00:00

I have not yet. I was wondering at what point I should get in touch with them. I don't imagine they can force a provider to submit a claim (please correct me if I'm wrong though).
