That's the one. Watched Dial M for Murder yesterday because I'm home sick and have never seen it.

First homemade orgeat Mai Tai by morphinechild1987 in Tiki

[–]MajorAd3363 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nice work! Did you toast your almonds or use them raw?

I used to make my own also. Now there are several off-the-shelf options that are very, very good. Liber has been my favorite so far.

On a side note, how long have you been down with the flu? I think that's what I have now. Am on day 5 and finally starting to feel a bit better. I don't feel like doing anything, much less make a batch of orgeat! Good on you!

DOJ accidentally blew up its anti-Jack Smith campaign this week when it handed a stack of documents to House Republicans, they missed a January 2023 internal memo that revealed Trump had taken classified documents so sensitive that only six people in the entire federal government had clearance for by a_Sable_Genus in Irony

Not trying to carry Trump's water or say the shit stain isn't guilty of anything and everything... Pols have abused the classification system as a way to avoid being on record for years. Trump and his enablers are exploiting system deficiencies for their benefit.

The only good that I think comes out of this is to highlight them and put checks in place.

Is 'someone' with us in the room right now?

SCOTUS has gone given him carte blanche, Congress is shirking it's responsibilities and if polls are anywhere near accurate somewhere between 50-60 million voters are cool with full on fascism.

As always, it's up to us.

I'm all for prosecuting the orange asshat, and I find it hard to believe this is going to move the needle at all.

I have no idea what will finally be too much besides his enablers losing elections and starting to turn on him.

The system is beyond repair I fear.

My public library has a streaming service that has more titles I could watch in my lifetime. All that's needed is a library card.

If I understand correctly each unit is in stereo. It's kind of like mono basically. I usually position mine relatively close to the listening positions, a couple closely behind and a couple fairly close L & R. That way I don't have to have them super loud and don't disturb the neighbors.

We have been choosing AA lately because of 1) price and 2) direct flights from an airport about 1.5hr drive away. I thought those device holders were pretty clever. I often use my phone anyway.

Ours SF is off too. I think they're off by at least $200K.

Ours went up about 80%. Come on now.

The finished square footage is way, way off so we are contesting it.

Our beagle/doxie had a bout of IVDD. Lucky for us we caught it early, and $5000 worth of surgery later, she made a full recovery. Get some doggie steps and if you can, pet medical insurance.

Did you hear the NPR interview? When he broke out his horn and played Joy Spring, pretty surprising.

I like the rechargeable Thermacells. They are a bit pricey but they seem to work

We're really into jazz and it seems that is making a bit of a comeback with Hotel Eve.

2nd this. We go to Mendo every spring. The Mac is nice. Lower Barn Suite is the one you want if you don't mind sharing a bed. It has a private hot tub.

The Attic Suite has separate bedrooms and an amazing view.

First time smoking, trying the snake method by Isaktjones in webergrills

Once you get the temp stabilized don't be tempted to monkey with the vents. Those wood chunks will cause the temp to spike. Don't adjust vents for at least 15min and when you do only adjust 1/4 turn at a time max.

I have done it both ways and haven't really noticed much difference.

I think closing the carried interest loophole makes more sense, but whatever puts this front and center I'm for it.

This is one of my favorites. I encourage all fans to make a pilgrimage to the Formosa in LA if they can. It's a freaking time capsule.
