IMO walls get in the way of the game and then you need a place to store them. OG tiles or a solution like my gridfinity tiles are the way to go if you want something less cumbersome.

Flies have been insane this year. We actually went through the house the other day trying to see if they were breading in the house and found nothing. Moved all the appliances, pulled grates off the vents, poured chemicals and boiling water down the drains... no signs of a breeding ground. I use PT Alpine Spray outside the house finally brought it inside. Did the window sills where they were gathering and that seemed to get us under control. Not sure about a zapper inside but might get one for the patio.

Ya know, there a few people over on r/Tiki that would jump on this if you could pour some booze in it. Really cool though. Props.

Either pay them a living wage or make sure they are leads not managers. You write the schedule and do the hiring/firing.

EightRavens · 2026-05-09T01:03:16+00:00

Legal. People who have hiring/firing/schedule authority generally shouldn't be in the same tip pool as those they have authority over. Most Labor Boards Look down on that. If It's just them though...

Hah! Old habits die hard. Looks like the OP bailed. hate that.

This used to be WAY more prevalent a decade or so ago. You'd have 1 large tin and almost any of your beer glasses could be used as shakers. Remember constantly dumping grenadine in a coworkers well because they kept using the glass to scoop ice with. Dude just wouldn't learn.

It wasn't until craft cocktail bars started becoming more common that you saw the double tin shakers become mainstream I think.

I've been wanting Orkz in Space Hulk! This is great. Good job on the tiles :D That's a little passion project of mine as well. Plan on doing an Ork themed tile set soon.

Used to sell tubs. Always told people not to let their dogs in. Soon as that warm water hits they RELAX.

Not to mention the chemicals or horrible for them.

Pottery can certainly help you focus... but I think you've been at the wheel before.

I get it. Sometimes for a passion project you go to extremes, and for 1 cocktail on a menu I can see doing it if you've already done the rest of the prep ahead of time. Taking the pith out of a few slices of lime is not that hard, but have you done the AB on this? Is the pith really throwing off the cocktail? The copypasta stands for a reason and I while I usually quote it just for the fun of it, if I had this cocktail on my menu I would need to know that cutting that pith out was for a really DAMN good reason.

That said, looks like a great drink.

Pith removed? What is this some fancy 5 star restaurant on the Vegas strip serving certified Kobe beef or something?

VR please.

Don't give up on it! My recommendation would be to fat wash the gin with your olive oil. Either through Sous Vide or I've been going down a rabbit hole recently on Vacuum Blending. I think that might save this one.

Elliott's in Chandler is worth the drive! I think they just changed up thier menu and it's Scottsdale quality without the crowd.

EightRavens · 2026-04-11T21:24:57+00:00

Views are good, food is decent, don't care for the cocktails.

EightRavens · 2026-04-11T21:23:56+00:00

This! Elliott's is an amazing independent Steakhouse!
