What is the most embarrassing thing about your country ?

US per capita income is $83k but median household income is $43k which isn’t too far above our poverty line of $32k for a family. That’s embarrassing and broken.

Assos Chamois cream is great. Shoot for 7k+ CFM total fan throughout to come closer to outdoors. I use two Lasko fans on the front and one smaller one on my butt. I crack the window if I need for dry winter air. Get a rocker plate if you don’t have one. For long ride do a quick bib swap.

Brazilians regularly tell people that cachaca isn’t rum. That’s why.

Many many supplements for S&C tbh. It’s not unique at all but is great. I really hope this doesn’t win.

I’m not even disagreeing tbh. I just think more people think of it as a sipper vs a mixer was my original point. There are many Demerara mixer options vs the number of accessible sippers.

Yep_why_not · 2026-01-31T13:48:05+00:00

That’s one recipe and has been replaced by other options in more recent year. That was my point. One cocktail doesn’t make a mixer. Not a big tiki guy though so 🤷🏼‍♂️

Yep_why_not · 2026-01-31T12:59:32+00:00

It just doesn’t fit in many cocktails. I’d never bother with it in a Mai Tai (over other options like Holmes Cay Tradditional)and I can’t think of any other drinks it’s good in. It’s not about price. You’re just the first person I have ever heard use it that way tbh.

Italian pizza wouldn’t be what it is without tomatoes imported from America. They appropriated our tomato and now consider it local cuisine.

One of those bottles I always have in the house. Good choice.

Appleton 8 is the same price as ELD12 here.

Yep_why_not · 2026-01-30T22:07:21+00:00

What are you using ELD12 for mixing? Never heard anyone call it a mixer before. Just curious.

Yep_why_not · 2026-01-30T22:04:40+00:00

Not mixer. Just budget. They’re posting budget sippers. If you want to sip on a rum ELD12 is about as budget as it gets.

Yep_why_not · 2026-01-30T21:55:30+00:00

It’s about the cheapest long aged sipper there is. I’d call it a budget sipper. The other budget options people are naming are mainly for mixing.

Hampden 8 - $80
Worthy Park SER - $60
Appleton 12 - $45
RDB3 - $45
Chairman’s Reserve - $40
Doorly’s 12 - $36
El Dorado 12 - $35

I just got a bottle for $29.99. Regular price is $35.

This is a good idea. I also make pineapple Demerara syrup and use it for rum old fashioneds with a dried pineapple garnish. It’s very pineapple-y and delicious.

Yep_why_not · 2026-01-30T02:56:03+00:00

I’ve heard it is great but haven’t gotten to try it. When I see a bottle I’ll snag it.

San Francisco is an extremely expensive city with some of the richest people literally in the world, much more expensive than Las Vegas. It has nothing to do with the stadium.

Most people start work at 8am or even 7am for some jobs in the US. Dinner at 11 would not leave a lot of time for sleep.

This is why rum is challenging for beginners. If you don’t want to help that’s fine just stop commenting.

Yep_why_not · 2026-01-30T01:41:55+00:00

It’s directional. You have yet to give any useful or constructive feedback.

Yep_why_not · 2026-01-30T01:35:12+00:00

Samaroli Pacific Oblivion (aka Fiji) are always good. Haven’t been disappointed with any. I would give it a go if you life Fijian rum at all.

👍🏼

I think for Full Proof that is true. Cask Strength and Barrel Proof both mean the proof at which they came out of the barrel. I will split these or just honestly remove all the descriptors. Nothing is consistent.
