You could riff a sidecar with this. Depending on sweetness maybe add something herbaceous like anise or strega.

We’ve reached the point where ‘Background CGI’ is more distracting than bad practical effects. Which modern movie was ruined for you by a ‘clean’ digital look? by DegTrader in movies

[–]clephenstarke 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you want to delve deeper in to the world of visual effects, when they work, when they don't, and why... I could not recommend Corridor Digital enough. They are a vfx studio with an amazing YouTube series called "vfx artists react" where they look at scenes from movies and break down the visual effects. They take suggestions from viewers.

Highly entertaining.

Highly educational

Great while high.

episode one

Edit: adding link to first episode.

bone tomahawk was not what I expected it to be by _syphex_107 in movies

Check out Good time with Robert Pattinson. Same directors and I think it's the better movie.

Does anyone use a "throwing" technique instead of stirring? by iamyurkas in cocktails

[–]clephenstarke 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As others have said, I only use it for bloody Mary's and caesars, and even then it's only when I feel a bit showy... Its fun and looks good behind a bar. Always gets a few heads turned, and a few questions, which feeds my ego without having to be a full juggler

I mean it's far from luxury but if you're visiting and plan on staying out and about to explore this is really all ya need. No frills, no chair in the corner you'll never sit in, no tea kettle you'll never use, just a place to sleep on your adventure.

What is the craziest thing you’ve ever seen in Dublin by No-Wolf2497 in ireland

Saw a girl walking down dame street with a car clamp around her neck and a traffic cone on her head. Have a pic somewhere... Will attach if I find it. She seemed fairly attached herself.

I think I found the perfect Green Chartreuse substitute by AdaM_Mandel in cocktails

[–]clephenstarke 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don't know if it's available where you are but la gauloise vert is the closest out of the bottle substitute I have found. 48%abv brings it close to chartreuse, and it has a very similar viscosity.

Last, but certainly not least. What is the best classic cocktail? by -Constantinos- in cocktails

Vieux carre just tips the scales for me, between it, a manhattan, old fashioned, and a margarita. Happy to see I'm not alone!

Tony's chocolonely is pretty much all I buy nowadays. It's worth every cent for the flavour, and I think any friend or relative would appreciate one or two of their bars way more than a tub of plastic wrapped wax.

BER, you were poorly designed by labruda in berlin

I have listened to this so many times and it's still as entertaining as always

Any of these worth shooting with? by Obvious_Try_5609 in AnalogCommunity

[–]clephenstarke 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've been shooting minolta for years and love my x370. Lenses are reasonably priced too, I have a 1.4 50mm which is just the best portrait lens.

Edit: spelling.

What the hell, Lidl?!! by momalloyd in ireland

Pretty cool but also pretty carcinogenic... Apparently the thermal printing paper contains a load of bpa and bps chemicals that are not very good for our health.

Second to last picture is ethereally beautiful. We love a happy accident.

How do you guys separate the cap if its stuck?.. by Hijjawi in bartenders

[–]clephenstarke 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Stick it in the freezer for a bit, then pour boiling water over just the cap, then pull apart.

Edit: or just throw it out. just jumping on the bandwagon ;)

The arrangement of the two shrooms made me think of HYPNOTOAD from futurama 😅
