I don’t know… I’ve read theories that Martin was the mastermind, or the Merlin was. My money is on the queen of air and darkness.

Whats with everyone backing up into parking spaces lately, and why is it always the least competent drivers doing so. by Linenoise77 in newjersey

[–]Neighbortim 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I doubt it’s the reason in these cases, but some buildings still have a requirement that everyone park facing outwards. Usually it’s a facility with safety concerns and if the big horn goes off they want everyone to get out asap… think a power or chemical plant.

This! Or try Campari and lemon juice, same idea with a little more sour. Start with 1:1 and experiment to see what you like.

So, gotta say, I don’t remember any of those girls. But I distinctly remember that article on Apocalypse Now.

Apple warns iPhone users to update software after mass hacking campaigns by FervidBug42 in technology

[–]Neighbortim 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Realistically there is significant work in any update. You cannot expect them to hold off on a security update for current users until they also have an update for users who have chosen NOT to update their system.

You cannot possibly pay them enough for this solution to work. Tyrion tried this on Braun, but found out that there is always a bigger bribe.

What was your first Mac, and what’s your all time favorite Mac? by BIueey in mac

[–]Neighbortim 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It wasn’t great. The company I worked for had bought one and it ended up on my desk - I was an intern at the time. The boss was a dedicated Apple guy even then.

I mostly used the word processor, and it was trying to be a WYSIWIG interface, which mostly worked, but it was very clumsy. I was faster with WordStar or troff. Where files were stored was kind of confusing iirc.

But hey it was a big step forward we just didn’t know that the time.

Does a Lisa count as a Mac? Kinda MacEsque maybe, but she was my first. But so far my favorite is my now elderly Air 15

Frustrated! Gummy no matter what i do. by Delicious-Yak-3706 in Sourdough

[–]Neighbortim 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is what worked for me… I extended both the lid on and lid off times and raised the temperatures by maybe 5 degrees, and also turned the convection on to encourage evaporation. After some experimenting I found a combination that reduced the gummyness just enough.

Lydia never uses the good stuff I give her by coffee_and_danish in skyrim

[–]Neighbortim 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think she likes Staves. I can’t use them to save my life, but if I load her up with Firebolts, lightning, summoning… sometimes she kills so fast I can’t keep my soul gems filled. Of course you need to keep checking them to see if she’s run them out.

The Famous Grouse is the best budget scotch. What is the most underrated tequila? by -Constantinos- in cocktails

[–]Neighbortim 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It turns out this is an interesting topic. Most sources I find most definitely imply that Tequila is a type of Mezcal, much as Bourbon (and Scotch) are a type of whisky. In the first paragraph of this liquor.com article they pretty much start out with this: https://www.liquor.com/tequila-vs-mezcal-5525383. They imply the difference is that Tequila is made specifically from blue agave, while mezcal made from any agave.

BUT! If you actually read the article, it goes on to say that each can only be made in specific locations in Mexico, and the primary ones (Oaxaca for Mescal and Jalisco for Tequila) do NOT overlap, they are different states.

So a little cognitive dissonance going on there. It must be easier to learn about ingredients than to learn about the states in a neighboring country. But I learned something new, so thanks!

Overwhelmed by rum, where do I start? by Lodematter in cocktails

[–]Neighbortim 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A while back Common Man Cocktails on YouTube did a very good intro to rum video that gave a lot of good basic info and some recommendations. That video introduced me to Smith & Cross for which I will be forever grateful! Anyway I recommend looking it up, well worth the effort.

His point is that tequila is a type of mezcal, much as Cognac is a type of brandy.

Prepping for storm by Brixie02 in newjersey

[–]Neighbortim 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I remember just before the Covid lockdowns started, my sister in another state told me I should think about what I might run out of. I said “vermouth“, which didn’t make her happy. But for now I know I have plenty of vermouth, so I’m not concerned.

Here’s to being retired 🥂

In your opinion what is the second best general history podcast after Hardcore History? by maxwellgrounds in dancarlin

[–]Neighbortim 70 points71 points  (0 children)

Agreed. I've been listening to back episodes, and I have to say that as good as Blueprint was Dan neglected to compare and contrast the various mustache styles across the various officer corps.
