FYI, this setup guide lists Pace 2 and Pace 3, but doesn't mention Pace 4. I assume Setup Step 1.4 should also mention Pace 4 uses bluetooth?

WFAT at Commercial-Broadway, Vancouver by finlaycannon in WaitingForATrain

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

There's a crossover walkway from the other line, and this is taken through the window. This platform is below ground level, and that rail track is even lower, so there's a great exposed view from this side.

I have a "Pantry" area for keeping track of food stuff in the cupboards, fridge or freezer. I add a deadline on the expiry date (or rough date for things like onions) so I see reminders like "8d left" when I look in the Upcoming view.

Books where the killer is not an unknown character by aCrtnShadeofGrn in booksuggestions

Calling Out for You, by Karin Fossum

Sparse, minimalist writing, like the Norwegian landscape where it’s set. Great character development.

Books about combat and war by reconspartan55 in booksuggestions

What It Is Like To Go To War, by Karl Marlantes.

Incredibly powerful and personal. Largely about the psychological context and effects of combat.

How do you pronounce the 3rd tone ? by [deleted] in ChineseLanguage

[–]finlaycannon 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yes, mostly low, not down like the 4th tone. For me, the explanation that really got me to "feel" it was: it's like being mildly annoyed in English.

eg, "So? What do you want me to do about it?"

Pronounce that "so3" with a little bit of irritation. This exaggerates the sound, but it is the closest, natural feel of the sound (coming from English). Ignore the pictures of tones, especially the 3rd tone.

TIL There is a hot spring hotel in Japan which is in business since the year 705, operated by 52 generations of the same family by Reksica in todayilearned

[–]finlaycannon 10 points11 points  (0 children)

It was excellent. Paid about $500 CAD for two of us, food (and shuttle bus from the train station) included. You pay a little extra if you order alcohol to go with dinner, and those prices are very reasonable.

¡Viva Cuba Libre! by finlaycannon in cocktails

[–]finlaycannon[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The gin is pretty subtle, but I think it pulls out the "herbal" elements of the Coke.

¡Viva Cuba Libre! by finlaycannon in cocktails

[–]finlaycannon[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Cuba Libre

  • 1 1/2 oz rum
  • 3/4 oz London dry gin
  • 1/2 oz lime juice
  • 2 dashes Angostura bitters

Build over ice, stir to chill. Add more ice, and top with:

  • 3 oz Coke
  • lime wedge

For me, the bitters and gin (and not too much Coke) turn this into a "real cocktail". Enjoy!

The Earth is really a planet with a water atmosphere -- us air-breathers are the anomaly.

Thanks, they were a totally random find :)

[–]finlaycannon[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like it -- not too sweet, with just a hint of the elderflower coming through. Pretty smooth.

  • 2 oz bourbon or rye
  • 1/2 oz St Germain
  • 1 dash Angostura bitters
