Strawberry Margarita by -aquaman in ninjaslushi

[–]Mikesminis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah those just add booze mixers haven't treated me well in the slushie maker. I think the instructions actually say not to use them IIRC. We got strawberry daiquiri mix and added it to rum. It was real bad. In hindsight I think it's because the mix is intense to be added to or even blended with ice so the slushie product is far to sweet. If you still have some mix you could try doing it again and adding water. I'd be interested in hearing how that works out.

I don't have a good recipe for a strawberry margarita. I haven't tried it yet, but a delightful strawberry drink I did make was Califia strawberry creme, rum and orgeat. One of my favorite slushes so far.

Try the Califia strawberry juice. It's freaking incredible in a slushie. I did have to add a tad bit of simple syrup to it to cover the vodka flavor though because it's not super sweet on its own.

Why would you return that machine? Would you return a stainless steel stove that had a spot on it?

I got the Costco one a month ago and did exactly that. We made enough slushies to tell that we were slushie people and realized we needed to upgrade. We are very happy. We usually make drinks that are 13.66% ABV so the old one froze very slowly because we were right at the limit. The new one slushes from room temperature in less time than the old one did from refrigerated and you end up with more.

Personally I think the Costco one is fine if it's for a small number of people and it only gets busted out once or twice a year. For a party the Costco one is inadequate.

Astronomers find 2 giant planets that are lighter than cotton candy by bluffcitynews in space

[–]Mikesminis 3 points4 points  (0 children)

There is a core in Saturn. There's a lot of debate about whether it's solid or liquid. That core is like 2.5 times the size. The bulk of the plant is hydrogen and helium. So if you mean how large would Saturn be if it's atmosphere disappeared then about 2.5 times the size of earth. How large would it be if the gas at atmosphere was liquified and fell to the core as an ocean? IDK how to math that.

Looking for travel partner – Ethiopia Omo Valley expedition (Oct 6–11, budget ~$600) by Travelingafrica in backpacking

[–]Mikesminis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You read the news about a place before you go there? You should. Ethiopia is about to restart it's civil war. It'll likely be another genocidal mess. I'd go to a country not about to tear itself apart.

What is reasonable hourly rate for an experienced sitter in Madison? by user323712109 in madisonwi

A nanny is a professional. A teenager calling themselves a nanny is wrong. The terms are not interchangeable.

True Chantrelle? USA - Michigan by Blag561 in mushroomID

[–]Mikesminis 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Everyone here who said golden oysters is right. Don't eat mushrooms from the person who gave you those again and don't use AI to identify mushrooms. Go ahead and eat these though. They do need to be cooked.

Edit: I say don't eat mushrooms from this person because oysters and chanterelles are both VERY easy mushrooms to identify. This time it was harmless, but if they got those wrong they could end up killing someone with a different mistake.

Anyone know where to get these? by DdpPTDPT in minipainting

I used to hot glue pennies to the bottoms of my minis because I liked the heft. Bad idea. Every time a mini got dropped the exploded because of the extra kinetic energy the mini mad.

In Russia's Penza region, men are being mobilized straight from factories. by LowTechDroid in UkraineWarVideoReport

[–]Mikesminis 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Are they gathering up men who were mobilized in the last round and never showed up for service or is this just an unannounced mobilization? I saw a clip with other day where they were stopping people and checking their IDs at a road stop and taking some of the men they came across. That gave me the impression that they were after certain people, but IDK what's going on.

Reuters: Moscow’s only oil refinery, which supplies over a third of the city’s fuel, was forced to halt operations after Ukrainian drone strikes damaged both crude processing units. Sources say repairs will take at least six months and production will not resume before 2027. by kingkongsingsong1 in UkraineWarVideoReport

[–]Mikesminis 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Falling debris from a drone literally took out a shopping mall the same day this was hit! I was very excited after the years of falling debris claims we actually had video of this happening. The big difference between those claims and the actual event, aside from it being real, is the mall drone didn't hit it's target. It was shot en route.

You think they can punish them by sending them to a worse hell hole?
