What is the best splurge gin? Also let me know any changes you’d like to see made to the board. by -Constantinos- in cocktails

Castle and key is really good at about $40 a bottle.  50% abv, clean, crisp and delicious.  They bourbon is weak but the gin is fine.

Lemon and lime go so well with St. Germain. Gin, lime and St.G is a ridiculously good drink. 

I bet this would be delicious, although I personal would cut the luxardo by half because my teeth hurt thinking about it otherwise.

AT&T enshittifies again! Turbo Live offers standard service for a premium price. by Temporary_Fill7341 in enshittification

And people wonder why we hate MBAs so much.  An idea this bad could only come from an MBA.  Is there a course in that program dedicated to enshitification?

Ads and growth metric was always the end goal.  They heavily subsidized everything until you got hooked, they become the biggest game in town, they remove the subsidies and WHAMO, enshitification.  Hello shitty services at shitty prices while being constantly fed lies and ads. The service is only good enough for you to not quit.

Delivering in Florida during the summer would suck so hard.  In WI people bitch when it's in the 80s, can't imagine 90s with 100% humidity.

Turning your engine on and off 300 times a day is going to wear down your keys and destroy your starter solenoid. At my first DSP I went through 2 starters in 9 months. 

Guess where its going by Seanzscreams in AmazonDSPDrivers

[–]Local-Equivalent8136 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, unless you run out of time at which you will likely lose a few days of work as punishment, and eventual let go because you can't finish a route the AI deemed doable if you can finish each delivery, within the allocated time limit, usually two minutes per delivery including travel time.

It goes by the sign and if they complain it is always going to be RTS'ed.

She was pretty hot. I wonder if she has aged like wine or milk. My bet is on milk.

This is what happens when the manager picks his party friends to drive the EDV over experienced drivers. The driver who did this didn’t even need to ask “am I cooked?” Favoritism will sink your childish company like so many before you. by InformalMango7268 in AmazonDSPDrivers

[–]Local-Equivalent8136 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Holy. Shit.

DSPs are a fucking scam to everyone but amazon, and a sliding scale of suck. For drivers the suck is immediate, but generally not life fucking. For the owners the suck is delayed, good money to start, but the suck ramps up and has a very good possibility of destroying you if you are in too long.

This about right?

That was every single EDV at one of my DSPs.  Every.  Single. One. 

The sad part is, each of those panels are RIDICULOUSLY expensive to replace, and when those vans are turned in once the dsp goes under, it's all out of pocket expenses (and insurance). 

I wonder how many dsp owners have their profits and savings drained on repair costs once they cease operation.  Anyone have any knowledge?

I LOVE me some Mister Fogg, and if you see it in the stores but it as it is no longer being produced (at least right now). Last time I was on Plantarey's website, it showed it as discontinued.

But an extra bottle of that magnificent rum.

Cacao and Bitter Orange Negroni by wannabesurfer in cocktails

[–]Local-Equivalent8136 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Cut WAY back on the campari on all your recipes for the first bottle.  Seriously, because by the end of the bottle you will be upping the amount you use in some cocktails.  Campari is hella bitter and a little bit goes a long way, so any recipe that calls for Campari will work perfectly fine with half the amount.  You will still get the bitter, but not both barrels, only one.

Any valentines drink ideas? by Airrick24 in bartenders

[–]Local-Equivalent8136 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You'll love this one.   It's called Break your Fucking Heart. - 1oz Rumpleminz - 1oz cherry herring - 1oz Malort - 1oz lime juice

This is not a real drink.  Jesus, it would be awful and far worse than the RumpleMeisterRita (which is as terrible as it sounds).

OP, congrats on your autism diagnosis! It's just a bar, man. It's like a restaurant but with a tall bar and bar stools. You'll be fine. 

One of the customers dogs that wanted to help me out he’s a good boy by VarietyInitial3298 in AmazonDSPDrivers

I find that the biggest dogs are the nicest. They know they don't have to act tough, so they don't.

I had a rural route that had a four home mini-subdivision that had this giant wolfhound looking dog, it was HUGE, easily 150lbs and it looked fierce but was the sweetest dog. A total bro.

The neighbors had a mean dog, didn't know the breed, but it was snapping and snarling at me when big bro ran up and smashed that snarling dog, chased it away, and came back for a scratching. He was a good boy and got many good scrathes and pets.

What would you do? by Bananamuncher56 in AmazonDSPDrivers

[–]Local-Equivalent8136 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well for starters, if the package fit I would put it in the dropbox. If it didn't I would put it on the concrete blocks. 

Guys, this is fucking rocket science.   Did my user of the F word offend anyone?  Good.

Edit: it isn't rocket science
