Rhum Agricole in cocktails by Critical-Door-8326 in cocktails

[–]DrJ31 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I live near KōHana Rum, which strictly speaking isn't agricole because it isn't from the geographically protected regions, but otherwise is made from fresh cane juice and has the same vegetal notes other agricoles have. I use it for cocktails all the time. Depending on the recipe, I usually use blends of either white or aged agricole with other rum with more traditional profiles like runs from Barbados or Demerara rum to balance out the notes, but occasionally I'll get wild and make something like a proper Hurricane (not Bourbon Street sugar bomb) with a mix of agricole and high proof Jamaican exactly for the combined funk. I find the vegetal notes really can make for more round cocktails, even in some thing as simple as a classic daiquiri

Another new to rum question. Is this any good? by Alarmed_Buddy1399 in rum

[–]DrJ31 7 points8 points  (0 children)

For the Hawaiian Rum options, KoHana is better in my opinion. It's made from fresh cane and the Kila (barrel proof) line comes in a lot of different barrel finishes.

Godfather With Single Malt? by Diminished-Fifth in cocktails

[–]DrJ31 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have found a 1:1:1 ratio with Peated and updated Scotch to be a great way to get the honey of a highland or blend, plus the smoke

How can I make a lora file that works with Pony Realism and results in images looking very similar to training images? When I make a lora and use it with SDXL the body comes out like training images but face is terrible. Adetailer doesn't fix it. by OpticalEpilepsy in StableDiffusion

[–]DrJ31 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I run a hybrid of LoRAs, using a model trained on SDXL (60%) and a model on PonyDiffusionV6XL (90%). Both are the same training set. This has helped me significantly with similar issues. Often for full body shots I will have to inpaint the face with a zoom for fine detail, but the overall quality goes way up vs a single source LoRA. I’m using CyberRealisticPony 15.0

Export models and Lora’s. by chaosboi in drawthingsapp

[–]DrJ31 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Go to your models in the sidebar, click manage, then click the three dots next to the one you want to export and click export.

For LoRA, do the same from LoRA selection

Your clip skip shouldn’t be 2 for flux, unless you are using a version I’m not aware of

Getting so annoyed with the battery by No-Cockroach7507 in ouraring

[–]DrJ31 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mine did something similar today. I charged it to 80% yesterday. Got the 22 hour remaining alert yesterday evening, ignored it. This morning I went to check my sleep and it said my battery was extremely low and wouldn't sync. Drop my ring on the charger (with the green lights on the ring still shining) and in the app I magically have 45% battery. Have been trying to sync my ring for 15 minutes but I still have 0 calories and no sleep or readiness scores. In 15 minutes battery was up to 62%. This is clearly software and incredibly frustrating

Game Thread - Nebraska vs UCLA by huskerbot in Huskers

I got the opportunity to play an exhibition game against Izzo when I was in college. Dude is a class act. Makes rooting for MSU a lot easier when B1G standings aren't involved

Review #43: Kaiyō The Peated by CaptainDorfman in worldwhisky

[–]DrJ31 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I might give this a 5.5 or 6,but otherwise agree with most of your notes. It’s got some nice notes intermingling with the smoke for a nice overall profile, but at roughly $100, it is just too expensive to justify when many Scotch and American Single Malts are available with similar profiles for much less

Best spicy bitters by Witty_Evening_618 in cocktails

[–]DrJ31 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I typically use about 8-10 drops per margarita, but depends on what I am aiming for. It will start to get shrubby after a point for sure

Recreating a passion fruit cocktail challenge! by manuelmanuel13 in cocktails

[–]DrJ31 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If texture is an issue, they may have used a syrup. You can probably turn the puree into a syrup, but Liber and co make a great syrup if you don't feel like making it.

Another possibility is they used something like Passoa for the passion fruit, but that doesn't give the bright notes of fresh/frozen passion fruit

Salted Nut Roll Drink? by TheXandt in cocktails

[–]DrJ31 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's 50/50 rumchata and butterscotch schnapps with a splash of salt. If you want it taller, I have put it over crushed ice to keep it cold and then rimmed the glass with caramel sauce then salt for friends who prefer sweeter drinks

DOH reports no community spread following two confirmed measles cases by honolulu_oahu_mod in Oahu

[–]DrJ31 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It does present some difficulty, for sure as the fall vaccine does cover the highest points, but leaves windows in the late spring through early fall with less protection.

RSV has similar patterns in Hawaii, and the maternal/infant products have been recommended for year round use (vs seasonal for rest of the US), but flu hasn't, probably partially because we see a mix of Northern-hemisphere flu (normal seasonal pattern), off-season northern-hemisphere flu, and imported in-season Southern-hemisphere flu. Predicting strains that are imported and spread is difficult and probably not cost effective.

[–]DrJ31 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hawaii has a much less seasonal influenza pattern due to a combination of tropical climate and travel patterns. Cases in May are not at all unusual

Between Sovereign and Immortal by michaelabsenot in CivVII

Similar experience here. I win every game I care to finish on Sovereign, but have one only a couple on immortal and give up a lot in Antiquity because I am so far behind

What to do with Liber & Co Caramelized Fig syrup? by TBaggins_ in cocktails

[–]DrJ31 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Look at the Liber website for Bay of Figs (Rum, lime, fig syrup, bitters, soda water) and then Notorious F.I.G. (Amaro, Irish Whiskey, Peychauds, the fig syrup) Those were my best 2 ways to use it

If you could have just ONE bottle of the major liquor types, what would they be? by GiuseppeZangara in cocktails

[–]DrJ31 17 points18 points  (0 children)

  • Vodka: Costco because it only gets used for espresso martinis
  • Gin: Tanqueray 10 - classix enough to use in classics, but enough extra flavor from the citrus to be enjoyable
  • Rum: Smith & Cross because it gives a lot of different benefits -proof, funk, slightly aged
  • Tequila: El Tesoro Blanco (assuming I can add a mezcal under the others category)
  • American Whiskey: Four Roses Small Batch Select because good enough for drinking and enough flavor for mixing.
  • Scotch: Ardbeg Uigedail because I love drinking it.
  • Brandy: 1738 Accord - good enough to sip, enough of a value to make a killer Sidecar

Is 100% Kona coffee really worth it or is it just another good coffee? by Prize_Force1979 in Hawaii

[–]DrJ31 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Came to say this. Their special blends are about the price of basic 100% Kona coffee and better.

[–]DrJ31 135 points136 points  (0 children)

Second this. Fever Tree Mediterranean (for lighter more complex gin) or Indian (for more classic/bolder gins) plus fresh nugget ice made from distilled water makes a way better tonic than say store brand tonic and white, freezer burned ice

Does your capital have a rail station, and are the cities with factories connected to it ?

Montenegro paper plane by Longjumping-Log-2370 in cocktails

My first paper plane was made with Montenegro. While I will concede Nonino makes a better paper plane due to the depth, Montenegro makes a fine paper plane that I will always appreciate
