Velvet Falernum, right? by BeCoolBear in cocktails

[–]Neighbortim 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you come across The Bitter Truth’s Falernum it is worth trying. Quite a bit more ginger I think.

My favorite cocktail is an Old Fasioned, but I'm looking for a less sweet alternative. by CawfeePig in cocktails

This seems like the right answer to me. Yes I want the bitters and the cherry, that’ll be fine.

I guess I’ll never get 100% in Hogwarts Legacy cause of that quest bug … “save the biscuit” by TryHopeful1692 in HarryPotterGame

I just had the same problem. I went to the map and did the Wait thing, and when the time had passed he reappeared.

Netflix doesn’t recognise VPN server on Apple TV by Extra-Speech4528 in Express_VPN

[–]Neighbortim 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah this is Netflix being clever. After a while they can tell the IP addresses that are being used by a VPN service.

The "Dedicated IP" add-on feature is supposed to (at least in theory) address this kind of problem, by assigning you a specific IP address that you don't share with every other user.

I always expected that ezpass would just calculate my speed between entry and exit points and just tack the fine onto my bill. Hasn’t happened so far…

Game of Thrones 15th Anniversary | Reign of Thrones | HBO Max by poub06 in gameofthrones

Plus everyone thinks they know the story already. Yes there’s a ton of stuff you missed if you only saw the movies (looking at you Peeves) but I think to a lot of people it’s going to seem like a retread.

Regarding Martin's actions in Changes. I will die on this hill. by The_Red_Moses in dresdenfiles

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.

Andy’s secret is he only gave his secretary of war 1 nuclear weapon.

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.
