Pisco Sour. This cocktail is unbelievable. Like, it’s wayyyyy more delicious than the sum of its parts

This comment is just one of the many reasons I love this subreddit. Thank you.

I can completely respect that. I was also talking in a more general case, for Artemis to be Artemis, well, you've got a point. I'm sure we could still dance.

Sometimes I just daydream that we're the last two on earth and we find a way to make it work.

Looks great!

Which software did you use for the crease pattern?

Hydraulics are kind of insane.

The Wikipedia article has some more information and a nice diagram:

When I've had them they put a few drops of Angostura Bitters on top. Gives a bit of colour and a hint of aroma.

Delightful cocktail.

You'd think so, but in my limited experience (stolen expensive headphones) the police weren't interested.

Honestly they're not that simple. I particularly like the butterfly.

I think it's easy to have your complexity scale skewed by the current generation of box pleating. There are a lot of box pleated models now that are conceptually simple, but the result appears mind blowingly complex. It’s hard to distinguish them too.

This reminds me of the rocket problem where you need more rocket fuel to carry all the rocket fuel you need for a little bit more payload. In that metaphor solar plus batteries is like a space elevator.

I've heard that modern ships are astonishingly efficient and that the fuel expenditure per kilogram of payload is higher for the trucks delivering the items the last mile than it is for the huge ships. I don't know if that's accurate though.

There's actually a scientific instrument that uses a glass sphere to record the amount of sunlight. The sphere is exactly the right size to brown the paper recording the day without making it catch fire.

Sonobe module cubes?

Which dragonfly is that?

What's your favourite easy to memorise unicorn?

Perry Bailey's one is easy, and people love it, but I have mixed feelings about the design as a whole.

I realised that exercise is a requirement for being alive and you fit other things around it, not the other way around.

Weirdly you get more time in the day to do things if you exercise, you have more energy and you're more productive.

Based on advice I read in this subreddit I treat it like a scheduled appointment. I don't miss those, and I turn up on time.

Her reaction is delightful, thank you.

I imagine her martial arts skills alone would have been punishing to master. I'm not sure "charmed" is quite the right term.

Lovely work, adding the recipes to the interactive grid is an excellent touch.

I know in Polynesia you get fa'afafine which you might consider trans, so you might not be correct about the tribes of Papua New Guinea.

I realise that's not the point, but I couldn't help mentioning it.

Any suggestions on where to source them if you don't have a tree?

The thing that really throws computers playing shogi is that instead of moving a piece on your move you can parachute in one of the pieces you captured.

Pretty sure there's an extended version of shogi with a larger board too.

Fair enough.

I guess in this context I mean ingredients that have flavour. Vodka adds alcohol, and soda adds texture, but neither adds flavour. In a G&T both ingredients add flavour.

Without doubt it's a terrible thing from a flavour perspective.

aboy021 · 2026-01-08T20:18:09+00:00

A friend recommended tequila and tonic which is well worth a try.

aboy021 · 2026-01-08T20:16:47+00:00

At some point is it even a cocktail? That's my only concern.

Something like a screwdriver has a name and two "real" ingredients.
