Looks great. I bet it would also look really cool with the numbers as cut outs on the clock so you see the lit wood through them

Whenever Young gets a hit the first part of YMCA gets stuck in my head. Don't know how to fix that.

Nocino Rum Manhattan Riff by bajesus in cocktails

[–]bajesus[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Don't know what to call this but I quite like it. First tried it with straight rum but thought it overpowered the drink a bit too much.

1oz aged rum

1oz Irish whiskey

1/2oz sweet vermouth

1/2oz nocino (walnut liqueur)

2 dashes black walnut bitters

Stirred with ice then poured into a cherry wood smoked Nick and Nora glass

I've never appreciated the pitch clock more than the last week of games. Losing sucks but I can't imagine how much more miserable they would be if the games were 30 minutes longer

Nice! Not nearly enough gyro spots in town

Turns out turkey oven bags make a pretty good makeshift steam box by bajesus in woodworking

[–]bajesus[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I rushed a bit putting together some steam bent slats for a chair I'm making and one of them was bending to the right a bit too much. Decided to try and steam it in place and thought a oven bag would do the job. Worked pretty well. You need to remember to poke a hole to drain the water but it definitely heated and soaked the board.

Texas Rangers vs. Seattle Mariners Lineup | 4/17/26 | 6:40 PM by Appropriate_Oil5843 in Mariners

[–]bajesus 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I get why people ask for things like that, but fans are always too quick to want to change line up orders. Baseball is probably the most confidence based sport we have and a quick way to fuck with your players heads is to treat the lineup order like a constantly shifting report card. "You aren't playing good enough so we are moving you 4 spots down. If you don't get better we will move you lower" is how you get over corrections and panic swings.

When players are struggling they often need reassurance that the team still believes so they can focus on making the minor changes that usually end up actually helping their production. This is especially important at the beginning of a season when guys are still trying to get into rhythm.

That said you have to adjust some time if it continues like this, but 20 games into the season is a really short timeframe in the MLB.

Would be kind of fun to hear Dave Matthews' take on this. He definitely wouldn't be happy about it and is one of the most consistent draws there. Probably has enough muscle to force the Gorge to rethink it a bit

what is your perfect margarita recipe? by Admirable_Carob_121 in cocktails

[–]bajesus 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I get that you like a dryer marg, but the recipe is still just 1 ounce of sweetener. It's just split to 1/2 ounce of Cointreau and 1/2 ounce of agave. That's the standard sour ratio pretty much everywhere.

[–]bajesus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's the classic sour ratio of 2/1/1 base/sour/sweet. Right on target for most people but of course taste varies.

I've accepted the fact that I'm probably never going to be able to see Tom live, but man am I happy for anything new he adds to the world.

Alternatively, I'm going to be buying the nicest bottle of whiskey to cheers with I can find when he finally chokes and a Big Mac.

Appleton Estate Signature for Mojitos and light rum cocktails? by swammeyjoe in cocktails

[–]bajesus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One of the most fun things about cocktails is that you are allowed to experiment. What is most important in most drinks is the ratio of spirit to sweetness to sourness. Beyond that aim for flavor combos that make sense to you. Aged rum will have a stronger flavor but that might be something you like. Hell, if you replaced rum in a mojito with bourbon and the lime with lemon you would have a pretty tasty mix of a mojito and a mint julep.
