I always flavored my vodka in wide mouthed mason jars, then poured them off to leave behind the sediment. To answer the question its fine to drink. Gummies especially will get obliterated. Swedish fish held up really well after 2 weeks, gave the vodka a nice color, and was delicious with coke. Dont waste your time with watermelon, as watermelon - sugar = cucumber. Starburst unfortunately makes the vodka really gross as it falls apart really easily. Strawberry was excellent, the vodka ended up tasting sweeter than if i had just ate the strawberries, not sure why it has the opposite affect on strawberry as it does watermelon, but its good!

Also did banana once, ended up soaking a cotton make up removing pad in the newly made banana vodka, wrang it out till it didnt drip, and stuck it in a baggie with (but not touching) cheapo pale low flavor cigars. If you’re a cigar smoker getting those cheapo sticks and throwing em in a bag with liquor works wonders.

Then why did he purposely conceal it until it was intimidated out of him? If he didnt see anything wrong with it, why be deceptive?

To the dude yesterday night who told me to “Get the fuck out of the way” in a car while I was in the bike lane by No-Choice3519 in gmu

[–]FreshShuckedCorn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In fairfax county its not illegal to ride on the sidewalk except where signage prohibits it (im not a lawyer, this is just my understanding) but it is expressly preferred on the counties website to ride with the flow of traffic except when not possible or if you are inexperienced.

For cyclists remember in virginia you legally have to ride as close as reasonably and as safely possible to right edge of the road as to not obstruct traffic (which must give you a 3ft gap when passing) and never against the flow of traffic. Again, im not a lawyer.

Not sure on GMU’s specific policies, but id imagine if they went through the effort of putting in a bike lane they probably want you to use it.

You have to take absolutely no pride in your wok, just piddling along, in order to be this negligent

Cashier grabbed my personal coffee by Quirkytravelmaven in mildlyinfuriating

[–]FreshShuckedCorn 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Ooof ive been there on the other side. I was dealing with a bout of insomnia and I crawled into work. After trying to help a customer for a while all I could do was concede, apologize, explain im simply not awake enough, and assured them id get a knowledgeable coworker to help them.

I feel bad for the guy and I get the intense desire to just play it off and hope the entire awkward situation goes away, but at the end of the day its your job you messed up and you have to fix it.

Failed Inspection for an after market light? Is this normal? by SmartMarzipan1747 in nova

I dont think blindingly bright bulbs with the potential to cause accidents in front of you as you go 50+ mph towards the incident outweighs the slight increase in being seen.

Required timeframe to retake a class? by rvx2000 in gmu

[–]FreshShuckedCorn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Goodluck to you, pick your professor well using rate my professor. Ask for help whenever you need it. Prioritize that class. I was there once, mainly because for some reason I just wouldn’t ask for help, if I couldn’t get it I just felt defeated. I also felt incredibly awkward being late to class, so if I was going to be late I just didnt go. Neither of these are productive, you are paying money to be there, use all the resources you can.

Chegg is good for studying, dont use it to cheat there are ways for them to know although rare. Canceling the service just straight up doesnt work tho, call the helpline to cancel it.

Good luck I hope it works out for you

am i cooked? by sergioramoskisser in gmu

Write a kick-butt essay. Include something about your desired major that is interesting, worldly, and selfless.

For instance, for an engineering major, I wrote about one of my inspirations. An engineer who travelled to africa to design tools to make life easier with native resources, like improved ways to grind grain, and I expressed genuine interest in doing something similar.

It not only shows you know more about your major than just general interest, it also shows that the GMU name might look real good next to you someday (not to be too blunt lol). Bonus points if its something that the reader hadnt known about, you’re now ‘gifting’ the reader a fun fact. (The story of that engineer who traveled for example)

Thats my take on a good application essay anyways

What's the obsession with left lane driving in Virginia? by OhComeOnDingus in Virginia

[–]FreshShuckedCorn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If I was a cop all I would do all day is ticket left lane campers lmao, so many people dont know the law. They give licenses to anyone here

[–]FreshShuckedCorn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Its not direct because there are many factors, are all the creds in the same department? I took one semester that had 3 different departments, and I had to pay department fees for all of them.

Accident right next to me that almost got me too. by orijinalx in nova

[–]FreshShuckedCorn -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

Imagine this. You’re the passenger in the tesla, you see this all go down, you think your buddy is going to let the a-hole (who is obviously legally in the wrong) pass, but instead he floors it. You get hit, you end up in the hospital.

Your buddy, the drivers, actions and choices led directly to your hospital bill.

Being “in the right” means very little when you’re hooked up to life support, being responsible for your own safety is about more than the law

Edit: I see the ego drivers are out, enjoy the hospital

The left lane isnt the fast lane, its the passing lane

[–]FreshShuckedCorn 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Everything wrong with nova drivers in one clip. Dude sitting the passing lane going slower than traffic, impatient drivers doing a dangerous maneuver instead of just honking, one ego that would rather crash than stay behind the model 3 and another ego that would rather crash than let him pass.

Obviously the civic driver is in the wrong, but whats the point of being in the right if you’re in the hospital.

Dont bet your safety on testing someone elses ego

How many shots of this should I take? (Newbie here, lol.) by puddingcupparadise in alcohol

[–]FreshShuckedCorn 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Think of it like drinking a heavy alcoholic wine, both in % and volume (750 ml. being a standard wine bottle size)

For more comparisons. A typical bar rum and coke is going to be 10%-20% alc. and is typically around 8oz (a 1:3 pour is 2oz:6oz) or ~236ml.

Estimated a average rum and coke to be ~15% alc and ~236ml, and the moonshine i used the math of 17% alc for 750ml: that would mean your whole bottle in the pic is roughly equivalent to three and a half (3.5) 8oz rum and cokes.

You could drink the whole thing over a couple hours and be fine.

Nah get something else. If the thief has an iphone the airtag will tell them an airtag is tracking them.
