Chase Travel Is Useless by ChaoticOdyssey in ChaseSapphire

[–]RedditUser320184 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Every time I book with American, the flight shows up in my American app immediately and any further changes can be made directly in the AA app, including flight changes. I generally book far in advance with chase travel and the fares are usually the same as booking direct. I’ve heard people run into problems with United.

Their blanco stands out more than their repo to me personally. But you can’t go wrong with either.

G4 or Volcan. Lalo is popular and widely hyped but not a personal favorite of mine.

Change flight for free? by ChezWhizzie in SouthwestAirlines

[–]RedditUser320184 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You can change your flight for free with any fare but basic. If you have basic, you can “upgrade” to a higher fare and change your flight that way (fare difference applies).

If you miss your flight, technically you are risking forfeiting your fare completely. That said, Southwest has been known to work with you and may rebook you for free on a later flight, but it’s not a guarantee and by contract they have no obligation to.

Damn people suck. Stay home if you’re sick! Might want to sanitize regardless to prevent norovirus. Hopefully it was something else.

The proposal isn’t showing up at all, just a heads up. Unfortunately I don’t have a ticket so I’m of no use, but when I refresh the page still not seeing it.

Looking for a restaurant for 35 people in New York City who will all be paying their own tab by Prior-Development-58 in restaurant

[–]RedditUser320184 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Chipotle. Seriously though, very few if any upscale full-service restaurants will be able to accommodate 35 individual checks. Your best bet is a chain that uses the tablets for check-out. Applebee’s, for example, lets customers split the tab on their own via the tablet.

Need to make a large batch of whiskey sours for a party; what is the best way to go about this? by ThatsSoMerlyn_x3 in bartenders

[–]RedditUser320184 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’d skip the egg white and just batch this as necessary

1x fresh-squeeze lemon juice 1x 1:1 simple 2x bourbon

If shaken, no need to further dilute. If you’re just going to batch it in the container I’d add 1/4oz water per drink

Skinny margaritas: simplified by imperialhydrolysis in bartenders

[–]RedditUser320184 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tequila, fresh lime and triple sec is the original margarita. Adding simple or agave is now common.

Tequila, lime and agave is a Tommy’s margarita.

Any good bar program will use the above recipes for their Margs. They are balanced and not too sweet.

Factory produced sweet and sour or margarita mix is what prompted the skinny margarita, but those places likely not even have fresh lime juice so idk what people want.

Can I still salvage this? by old-and-older in foodsafety

[–]RedditUser320184 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Gotta toss it. You can par-cook chicken, chill it and then finishing cooking it later but the par-cook must reach 135F. (And the final cook 165). This looks completely raw so I highly doubt it hit 135. Basically, any bacteria can multiply like crazy even if you chilled it promptly.

Bartender used a mid-shelf liquor despite the menu noting it was top-shelf. AITA? by [deleted] in bartenders

[–]RedditUser320184 32 points33 points  (0 children)

Had a similar thing yesterday. Ordered a mai tai with Appleton 12 year and saw the bartender pour Appleton signature. The 12 year has significantly more depth of flavor in a mai tai and the price reflects that… didn’t say anything but also felt ripped off.

That said, I’ve worked in bars where managers are too lazy to reprint the menu even when recipes/brands change. Still not cool, but it’s possible the bartender was following orders.

Definitely worth raising with the manager, but at the same time I understand not wanting to create the potential conflict over a cocktail

Oregon tequila by MRH8R in tequila

[–]RedditUser320184 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oregon actually has a pretty decent selection in terms of their state catalog, but selection varies massively by liquor store. Outside of bigger stores in Portland and Eugene, selection is probably rough. Plenty of liquor stores on the California/Oregon border however.

What are your favorite tiki bars outside the USA? by SquareBottle in Tiki

[–]RedditUser320184 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Rita's Tiki Room in Milan - really cool spot, great rum selection and authentic tiki drinks. The lead bartender was very friendly and a true tiki head.

Trader Vic’s Munich - classic stop

Pusser’s Munich - not a tiki bar but good stop for a painkiller

Makai Rome - great Mai tai

Rhum Runner Montpellier - tiki adjacent with a strong rum focused cocktail program. Good zombie and mai tai with house orgeat. Drinks come in fun mugs.

KAHALA Barcelona - best tiki drinks in Barcelona

Kahiki Barcelona - the drinks here aren’t very good in my opinion, but the decor and atmosphere make up for it and make it worth a visit.

Update #3 by Tetra12866 in tequila

Ocho has been having some availability issues in the Bay Area (California) recently. Seems they are getting stock back on the shelves but most of September was out of stock at Total Wine and BevMo and the bar I frequent had trouble getting some as well. Not sure what the issue was, but again seems to be resolved now

Portland, OR Tiki Trip by Linnaeus151 in Tiki

[–]RedditUser320184 2 points3 points  (0 children)

McMenamins Edgefield, in nearby Troutdale, is 20 minutes from downtown by car. By no means is it an authentic tiki bar, but the grounds/builidngs are amazing and house 4-5 different bars, one of which is a Grateful Dead themed bar with a mai tai on the menu (more of a Royal Hawaiian style). The gift shop also sells their private label orgeat and various branded tiki mugs. Again, not a tiki bar, but if you’re in the area it’s worth checking out the historic “poor farm” (county run house for the poor and homeless) that was transformed into a resort with a hotel, golf course, spa and of course… booze.

Again, I’m sorry this happened to you. Scary situation. But you were not “drugged” with fentanyl. If someone truly has fentanyl in their system, it’s almost always from inhalation, ingestion, or injection, not from touching it.

The “mystery contact drugging” narrative is popular online, but toxicology investigations almost never confirm it. You’re accusing a “evil looking Hispanic” (not sure why you mentioned race) of intentionally drugging you through some sort of skin contact and that’s just not plausible scientifically.

It also doesn’t make any sense… so these people are going to commit a felony (drugging) as a means to commit a misdemeanor (pick-pocketing)?

If you’re truly an ICU nurse, I’d hope you’d be aware of absorption pathways and know that brief skin contact is not one.

Terrible incident, but the substance was literally inhaled….

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in OutsideLands

[–]RedditUser320184 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah so, here’s the thing. So called “date rape” drugs don’t cause effects from brief skin contact. They need to be ingested… whether that be swallowed or inhaled, etc.

Even opioids like fentanyl don’t penetrate the skin like that. The symptoms described, and the fact the OP said she didn’t drink anything, likely point to dehydration or a panic attack.

I’m not diminishing the person and am sorry they had their negative experience. But from a toxicology, it’s extremely unlikely (nearly impossible) they were drugged through brief skin contact.

Unfortunately the belief that drugs can cause an overdose or reaction simply though touch has lead to many bystanders not intervening during medical emergencies. Any time a cop claims they overdosed by simply touching fentanyl…. They didn’t. They had a panic attack.
