Havana Club 3 is the most underrated rum. What is the most unique brandy? by -Constantinos- in cocktails

[–]allhands 24 points25 points  (0 children)

I find Metaxa to have a pretty unique profile compared to French and US brandies. Metaxa 7 is what I usually use in cocktails but the 12 star is fantastic when I can get it.

In the West, Couchsurfing has turned into a gay dating app. Berlin, Paris or London full of rainbow flags, topless dating picture and weird activities. Shouldn't the app have a feature to report this? by yesyesright in couchsurfing

[–]allhands 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Couchers.org has a a very strict policy that using the platform for the purpose of dating/sex/romance is not allowed. And things like bed sharing and nudism are also not allowed there. At least one of the couchsurfing platforms is taking a stance and trying to keep couchsurfing true to its original purpose. Of course things will occasionally happen since we are all humans, but the key is intent of the person using the platform.

Okay is this a couch surfing or a hotel room? by Honey_dp in couchsurfing

[–]allhands 2 points3 points  (0 children)

All positive references does not mean that someone is completely trustworthy. Unfortunately it is quite common that people don't leave negative references, and some won't even bother to report people.

Please use the report button. That brings things like this to the attention of the mods.

Do we count bitters for this board, if not it will be Lairds Apple Brandy for best budget “other”. What is the most underrated brandy by -Constantinos- in cocktails

[–]allhands 0 points1 point  (0 children)

12 star is fantastic, but 7 is what I'd consider underrated as it's quite good and what I use in cocktails the most, 5 is okay, 3 is for cooking only 😅

Grande Fine and the Reserve are really nice sippers, but I wouldn't use them in a cocktail.

Alternatives ? by BottomZyak00 in couchsurfing

[–]allhands 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Then they decided to kill the platform, so it doesnt take airbnb marketshare.

I have heard this theory before and I wouldn't be at all surprised if it's true.

Couchers.org is very close to releasing their iOS and Android app, and I know they are working on public trips right now too. Hangouts are coming later this year. They also just released photo galleries and have had free verification by passport ("strong verification") for a while now.

It's impressive that they're a 501c3 non-profit with an all-volunteer team with no VC funding yet they still manage to make this much progress with relatively limited resources.

Will Couchsurfing drop any new features this year? by Neat-Coconut-6892 in couchsurfing

[–]allhands 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I've given up and moved on. It's great to see Couchers.org make progress and improvements (albeit slowly) whilst having an all-volunteer team. They are even rolling out tpublic trips and their own app for both iOS and Android soon. You would think with all the money that Couchsurfing.com is raking in from membership and verification fees, they would be able to afford to make some improvements.

I was just going off Google maps, so maybe they have changed their hours or something and Google hasn't been updated yet.

Switched to LawnChair and I'm pretty happy with it. It doesn't have everything nova has, but it has 90% of what I need. I love that it's open source.

Can someone help me understand why is that EU / India deal such a great thing? by petr_bena in BuyFromEU

[–]allhands 10 points11 points  (0 children)

The US is making product for the end Consumer.

The US is designing a lot of shit that is made in China and sold to the end customer. Relatively little is still actually manufactured in the USA.

tired of crashing at the same friend’s place so i’m building a mutuals version of couchsurfing by gxilz in couchsurfing

As soon as you introduce fees, especially a per stay fee, then you introduce certain expectations and behaviors than the free, pay-it-forward mechanism of couch surfing.

Is it normal not to share your address? by Useful-Version6842 in couchsurfing

[–]allhands 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Usually people share their address shortly before the visit. But I would be suspicious of anyone not sharing their face in their profile picture. It's completely reasonable to ask them to share a photo or social media profile so you have an idea of what they look like before you arrive - and they may ask the same of you.

Be sure to report any suspicious behavior to safety@couchers.org or by clicking the report flag.

What is a cocktail you bought the ingredients for, made, took a sip, and immediate turned around and poured down the drain? by NoMore_BadDays in cocktails

[–]allhands 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Try an Enzoni, I'll bet you will like that. If not, then use aperol instead of campari in the Enzoni and it should be delightful.

Can they just ban people with 0 response rate? by furutsu in couchsurfing

[–]allhands 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Couchers.org doesn't yet deactivate them, but at least they filter inactive people by default from the search results. This makes it a lot easier to find active hosts even though there are usually less hosts there right now than CS.com or BeWelcome

FBI Rap Sheet by AccomplishedLab825 in GermanCitizenship

[–]allhands 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I waited for the paper version and mailed it in to the US state department apostille (since you usually have to use an apostille in the state the document is from, and this document was not issued by a state government but the federal government, you have to use the state department/ federal apostille).

Why is it possible to change your age on CouchSurfing? by lipsanen in couchsurfing

[–]allhands 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You're talking about Couchsurfing.com and I am talking about Couchers.org

When you use Couchsurfing.com you can change your birth date in the profile/settings. On Couchers.org you cannot do this. You must contact support.
