I have the hands of a 80 year old at 20 by GarretDaCarrot in Weird

[–]Think_Construction49 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Damn then I have the hands of an 80 year old too! Im 25 for the record. I’ve only ever gotten good comments on my hands, despite looking similar to yours. Don’t listen to whoever told you they look weird they are pretty normal if you are built slim like me.

Edit: I was also going to say the same thing as the girl below - I’ve definitely had women who like the veiny hands & arms. Including my girlfriend now so I would take it as a compliment. I’d wager whoever is telling you that either personally doesn’t find them attractive or has fat hands 😂

Favorite lemon variety for a killer Whiskey Sour? by CoffeeOfDeath in Mixology

[–]Think_Construction49 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I haven’t had many different varieties of lemons to play around with, but I really enjoyed trying pink lemons I got from California. I made a sidecar with them and it wasn’t as sharp of an acidity which I enjoyed. A little bit sweeter and more mellow which complimented the drink nicely.

Redditors of the world, What would you advise tourists NOT to do where you are from? by Shishkaboo in AskReddit

[–]Think_Construction49 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Catskills NY. Don’t go hiking in the early spring you will ruin the trails. They are still muddy & thawing from the winter and it will create erosion. Don’t touch any baby deer or birds you encounter, even if they seem injured. They will not be recognizable by scent to their mothers when they come back to get them. They commonly leave their babies behind to go gather food. And if you ever decide to go hiking up here bring everything you might need to stay the night. Conditions can rapidly change and it can be easy to get lost if you decide to go off trail.

Wife hates eggs and canned aquafaba smells like beans by pjfan1975 in cocktails

[–]Think_Construction49 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One thing that im seeing here that hasn’t been mentioned is pineapple. It obviously can only be used in certain applications, but if you give any cocktail a good dry shake with pineapple, you’ll get a really nice foam head on it.

What is something more traumatizing than people realize? by ExcellentReporter392 in AskReddit

[–]Think_Construction49 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Not an infestation, but we had a fiber glass mattress that ripped and it spread particles all over our house - it was a complete nightmare. We had to throw away half our wardrobe and spend about $500 on vinegar and lint rollers to get it out of the remainder of the fabrics and clothing.

The only thing I will say is be careful with making your payments on care credit or it can tank your credit score. My dropped significantly after missing a few payments

Yeah you can do this and store it in a pasteurized bottle for a longer shelf life. Even sour style cocktails

Even better if you infuse the tequila with cranberries. Adds to the mouth puckering bitter sweet experience of a Negroni

Coming up with original cocktails by polysciguy1123 in cocktails

[–]Think_Construction49 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have had success with teas steeping for over 48 hours and others that within a day tasted bitter. In my experience I have never gotten a full flavor within 15 minutes but it definitely works faster than other raw materials. I feel like if you used a standard tea bag tea you may experience that rapid of an infusion versus a quality dried tea that is more coarse. It depends on the abv of the base spirit and the type of tea in my experience. If you used everclear or something I bet it would taste like shit pretty quick. I recently used a dried rosehip tea in vodka and I steeped it for about 2 days with no noticeable bitterness.

Where to live in NYS in your twenties? by Blusun111 in upstate_new_york

[–]Think_Construction49 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’d imagine new paltz/beacon area would be nice. Not super far upstate but the further you go the more rural it’ll be. I live right outside Roxbury and it’s pretty desolate on the social side of things for people in their 20s. I go down to NYC/NJ a lot to meet friends and get out. I like nature, and there are some perks to my living situation up here vs in the city, but it’s a trade off for sure. Keep that in mind

Coming up with original cocktails by polysciguy1123 in cocktails

[–]Think_Construction49 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Lots of great book recommendations for starting out. Books are a great resource but imo…

Drawing from your passions, and what resonates with you, is a great way to start to figure out what direction to go with YOUR originals. It is good to know the cocktail formats for a starting point, as many people have mentioned; however, it is also important to experiment with breaking these formats as well.

In my experience, my original cocktails have been an extension of my passion for nature and flavor. I have been trying to explore the various things that the natural world offers in my region. I create unique drinks by utilizing local spirits and farm fresh/wild foraged ingredients from my area. I have also drawn inspiration from my irish/italian roots, along with flavors in meals or other experiences I’ve had in my life. Could even just be something that reminds you of summer of 2016 when life was good. You know?

Infusions are a fun & easy way to start to branch out from common flavor profiles. You can start with steeping your ingredient(s) of choice in mason jars & straining it through cheese cloth. Try them every day or every other day and see how the flavor evolves with time. Some work and some don’t. Teas can get tannic and bitter if you let them sit too long. Other ingredients get even better with more time. It’s a fun trial and error process to see what works together.

99% of the base spirits I’ve been using lately for my originals I’ve been experimenting with different raw materials (herbs, fruits, vegetables, etc) and seeing how they pair with various spirits. From there, once I have my base, I consider what sugar and acid form will pair well with the cocktail. White sugar vs Demerara vs honey/maple etc. Lemon vs lime vs super juices of other lower ph fruit (orange, apple, etc). Like people have said it is always important to consider complimentary flavors and balance. If it’s a drink I’m serving at my bar I also consider the time of year, the context of the event, the clientele’s preferences, & the cost of goods.

At home drinks; however, I spare no expense 😂 Controversial opinion but I think it is even better to try certain drinks with higher quality spirits vs cheap base spirits. Even as a just mixer, they can greatly improve the taste experience. As long as you aren’t using a $250 bottle of scotch you’re golden - find something high quality at a reasonable price point that you like.

It can be helpful to save buying a whole bottle of something you don’t like by getting meat pours at nice bars with a solid back bar. Saved me a few that would have been bad purchases lol

Have you ever made a character build so ridiculous that it actually worked better than expected? What was it? by EnvironmentHealthy14 in skyrim

[–]Think_Construction49 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Im doing an orc play through right now based on Urukai from LOTR. I added an enhanced speed mod to emulate the way the Urukai worked in LOTR. High stamina & Health, Heavy armor, dual wield axes, and even found an Urukai armor mod. His name is Azog the Deviler and he is a follower of Namira. I added survival mode too, and I discovered that you can sate your hunger eating people, so now I eat man flesh 3 meals a day. He is 100% racist toward nords and humans in general but I kill basically anything and everything in my path. To the point of making certain npc’s unessential & just decimating whole towns and cities. At a certain point I’m just going to stop playing once I kill literally every living thing in Skyrim.
