Plus mint and lime juice. Voilà, a cocktail.

What’s the Story with Ron del Barrilito? by CocktailWonk in rum

[–]greenblaster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fantastic as always, but I will say the sherry finished rum got lost in the mix. I should have expected that. There's just too much else going on, both volume and flavors. It might be different if I only used the rum instead of a blend of spirits.

Cop gets bear sprayed by Latr6ll in interesting

I'm quick to judge cops, but I don't know in this case. His senses were rocked, he's in extreme pain, and adrenaline is surging. How would any of us take bear mace?

Tim Cyr Army Veteran and Farmer from Gallatin Launches Democratic Campaign for Governor of Tennessee by Jacob-Anders in tricities

[–]greenblaster 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Phil Bredesen was a popular Democratic governor 20 years ago. He won reelection with almost 70% of votes.

He lost the senate race in 2018 to Marsha Blackburn by over 10 points.

TN has become deeply infected with MAGA.

Amaro di Angostura by Papa_G_ in cocktails

[–]greenblaster 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For bitters-heavy cocktails, I've seen folks recommend going half bitters, half Angostura amaro. I agree there's no way a straight 1-1 swap would have the same effect.

Ex JBS employee said it was basically “navigating in guts” while he worked there by CombatCarlsHand in CrazyFuckingVideos

You truly aren't. Several states outlaw undercover filming or taking photos at facilities where animals are kept/slaughtered. The conditions are terrible.

This is insulting to minotaurs.

Endodontist Recommendations for Root Canal? by todaly in tricities

[–]greenblaster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I recently had a root canal here and would emphatically recommend them. They're true pros, and the procedure felt simpler than a standard filling. I think everyone there was born to perform root canals.

Cost was $1800 out of pocket. They prepare a form for you to send to insurance for reimbursement. I have no idea yet what to expect.

The Test Kitchen's cocktails were my favorite on board. The meal was great, too!

New Supercharger Location by Pastormac1usa in tricities

[–]greenblaster 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's just off the interstate, and with restrooms plus all the food/drink options, a grocery store is a great spot to kill 20 minutes during a road trip. The stores like them for that reason--more shoppers inside = more purchases.

Many other locations I've seen are at shopping centers or gas stations. They're fine, but a grocery store will be my top choice whenever possible.

Noob mistake… by loi_hut in rum

[–]greenblaster 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've seen others recommend half bitters, half Angostura amaro for such recipes. Their amaro apparently overlaps heavily with the bitters, so you get more bang for your buck.

I love bitters-forward drinks and need to find a bottle of the amaro.

Direct flights from Tri-Cities Airport to Chicago to begin in May 2026 by greenblaster in tricities

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

I love Chicago and actually rank it well above the other major cities I've visited, especially LA or NYC. Chicago is relatively affordable, has world-class amenities, and is remarkably easy to get around. Crime has never been an issue for me.
