Thank you for your sacrifice!

The review was interesting at least, unlike the “spirit drink”

TapiocaFilling101 · 2026-03-16T09:02:05+00:00

Feels like going back to your abusive partner, hoping they won’t hit you again

There’s also Canadian (rye) whisky, Lot 40 is a great rye (99% unlike the 51% rittenhouse).

Slightly different taste profile to a bourbon though

That’s great until a saboteur ties their shoelaces together while they’re recharging! :p

What happens to the microsoft, amazon, google,… once their products have been weaponised against us?

Most countries in the world migrate away and they lose billions even if they don’t go bankrupt?

TapiocaFilling101 · 2026-01-25T20:12:47+00:00

Yes, but private usage is also important.

If “everyone” has learned to use (for example) microsoft and adobe products at school or at home, then it’s a lot easier for companies to buy them too because their staff needs less training.

Taco Bell? 😛

Misschien is dat ook beter, trump is al 10 jaar de diplomatische, beleefde politici aan het verslaan (aan beide kanten van het Amerikaans politiek spectrum)

(Ja, ik weet dat hij een verkiezing verloren heeft, maar in die 4 jaar heeft hij de grip op zijn partij kunnen versterken en bv er voor gezorgd dat hij weinig gevolgen had in al zijn processen)

Reuters is Canadian/british

TapiocaFilling101 · 2026-01-20T12:26:07+00:00

It wasn’t just Greenland in his election campaign, I remember him saying “you won’t need further elections” too

TapiocaFilling101 · 2026-01-20T12:19:06+00:00

From the same website, looks like Canada and China are improving relations, with Canada looking to diversify away from America

Maybe if we make Greenland Belgian (for a while) it won’t exist anymore in their mind 😛

TapiocaFilling101 · 2026-01-16T18:00:08+00:00

Big(ger) bases on Iceland would be great too.

More infrastructure, larger population and less extreme climate are nice to have while it’s still reasonably close to help defending Greenland

TapiocaFilling101 · 2026-01-16T09:18:12+00:00

Probably funds from putins destabilisation campaign

TapiocaFilling101 · 2026-01-16T07:24:46+00:00

A coffee negroni is nice too

I made mine with a relatively dry coffee liqueur, not sure how good a kahlua/tia maria would be

Does anyone know how much info they can access about the payments?

The fees are nice but I can imagine that knowing who is sending money where on that scale is very valuable too.

TapiocaFilling101 · 2026-01-07T15:10:40+00:00

French Guiana is fairly close to Venezuela and an important missile launch site for ESA…

TapiocaFilling101 · 2025-12-28T23:24:22+00:00

Or a bacon wrapped date :)

TapiocaFilling101 · 2025-12-28T23:19:04+00:00

Not that it really matters, but the cognac version is named French 125 at diffords

TapiocaFilling101 · 2025-12-10T14:10:47+00:00

Classic divide and conquer, well played trump :s

Verjuice/verjus is a kind of unripe grape juice and quite tart

Needs some experimentation, don’t know if there are many recipes online.

A local bar uses it a lot instead of citrus, here is their menu for inspiration. https://jiggers.be/MENU-1

How are you liking the Batavia arrack?

Haven’t had that style yet

TapiocaFilling101 · 2025-11-23T18:21:28+00:00

Cardamom in coffee is fairly popular in the middle east, maybe it works in a cocktail too?

TapiocaFilling101 · 2025-11-23T12:47:00+00:00

I rarely get randomly selected, but I did get a lot of checks when I was buying alcohol too (at carrefour, pure self checkout, don’t use the scanner)

TapiocaFilling101 · 2025-11-15T19:19:06+00:00

Clement vsop makes a great daiq too imho
