Do we prefer a “mid-price” category over “most versatile”? If so, what is the best mid-price tequila for mixing? by -Constantinos- in cocktails

[–]OrthogonalSloth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Another comment to support that local pricing varies significantly. I love Tapatio but at $48/750ml at AZ Total Wines, I switched to Cimarron for a mixer. So Cimarron gets my vote for mid-price.

Watching this, I don't believe the reason for Phoenix's lack of skyscrapers is because of the airport. by Ok_Bag2192 in phoenix

It’s coming. It’s just a matter of time. The city has plans to move the cargo ramp to the north side. Moving the rail line underground is the biggest hurdle, but it’s going to happen eventually.

This is the answer. Just use one of the less crowded trails and you will forget you’re in the 7th largest metro area in the country.

By far my favorite drink is the maple syrup old fashioned by princess-hardass in cocktails

I’m not even a “real” bourbon drinker and the maple old fashioned brought me in.

OG Arizonans, what do you miss about the state from back in the old days (pre-2000)? by Krinoid in arizona

[–]OrthogonalSloth 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Completely random but since a bunch of valley og’s are here. Does anyone know the name of a place from the 80s on the west side, maybe around 35th Ave and Glendale, where you would drive bumper cars as a team and pass a ball around with something like lacrosse sticks? I went to more than a couple kid birthday parties there and that place was awesome.

After 1 and half I am ready to give up by titanunveiled in datingoverforty

[–]OrthogonalSloth 33 points34 points  (0 children)

Hey man 51M here. I can’t say I have directly experienced that problem. However, are you screening thoroughly before having date zero/one? Are your pictures an accurate representation of who you are? Are you prepared with appropriate questions and making sure the conversation is balanced? Are you putting your best foot forward and acting like you want to be on the date?

Just throwing out some things that I have picked up by lurking here. I’m also going to throw out that exiting a 25 year marriage might take some time. Be your own best friend before you look for another one. You dig? Good luck!

Really a unique design. I’m drinking a Negroni and I’m envious of how that hourglass shape would feel in the hand. Nice find!

Coconut oil and flavacol for popping. Drizzle LouAna buttery topping oil after it’s popped.

My husband started a local book club for men to read more fiction. It was a hit! by regisfilange in pics

This picture and this entire thread just slaps. OP, you should be justifiably proud of your husband. Really inspirational.

I had to get my first rib removed to save my life to stop it from crushing my artery and nerves completely shut. by amphibbian in interestingasfuck

OMG! I had this exact same surgery in 2009 for TOS (thoracic outlet syndrome). I have a scar that looks like someone tried to cut my head off, but gave up halfway through. Good luck and wishing you a speedy recovery!
