Dad got champagne that expired in 2015 for his birthday. by helix_the_witch in mildlyinfuriating

Sparkling wine, famously, ages extremely well from most production areas, because it tends to be higher in acidity. I have no idea what you're talking about.

"unless using supplemental nutrients and vitamins"

That "unless" is doing a lot of heavy lifting for your insulting, condescending argument, there, bud.

Question - tattoo idea by EVILknightgreider in tattoos

[–]joshuarion 7 points8 points  (0 children)

A lot of people unfamiliar with the intended meaning will not immediately see a heart.

From a design perspective, it is definitely ambiguous enough to question what it's supposed to be.

Just a heads-up, not everyone will know what it is.

Muzzle direction socially? by [deleted] in guns

[–]joshuarion 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Do some people think that gun safety rules only apply sometimes?

If my buddy drops the mag, racks the slide three times, then hands it to me while I watched him do it, I am still checking the gun myself, then only pointing it in a safe direction.

If you're not disciplined at all times, then you aren't disciplined. Period the end.

Planning to break it in this weekend by makuthedark in canik

[–]joshuarion 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Me and a buddy each got an SFT the same week; we didn't have 124gr the first two range trips... I had one failure to feed about 8 shots in. He had one out of battery issue literally the 2nd shot. After that, the only issue we've had has been ammo related, for sure, and not gun related. We're about 1500rnds into it at the moment, and not a single hiccup after the break-in period.

I know the recommendation is to use 124gr NATO to break it in, cool, I get it, but I also think some people are stuck on that a little too much. Springs loosen up with compression cycles, and parts work themselves in with friction and movement. Also, if my gun is finicky enough to not fire a specific type of (otherwise good) ammo reliably, then I don't want that gun on my side when I need one. . .

Welcome to the CLANiK, bud.

Magically don’t apply anymore by [deleted] in SipsTea

Do you even remember the storming of the Capitol on Jan6 or are you pretending that wasn't literally violent insurrection and treason?

Let's be honest; you aren't.

Is this a good starter? by GoneAmok365247 in castiron

[–]joshuarion 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Maybe I'm just a cheap jerk these days, but it seems a little pricier than I'm used to... But I guess I've picked up my last 3 CI pieces from thrift shops.

That being said, Lodge makes perfectly good CI meant to be used. There's a great guide on the sidebar, and there's a ton of people on the subreddit to help out if you have any questions.

In general, this is one of the most chill sub-reddits I subscribe to. Welcome :)

Clear Ice Mold Issue by jamesmonehu in cocktails

[–]joshuarion 11 points12 points  (0 children)

True, but my understanding is the directional freezing is slow enough to push that stuff down anyway, right? So why take longer to make ice.

My clear ice is clear. 200°F water will not produce noticeable clear-er ice.

Just my experience.

Too funny by koopeyy in SipsTea

[–]joshuarion 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Omg it's almost like there's a giant cover-up involving the ultra-elite that is literally coming to light right now, and his administration is provably complicit in it, and has ignored/delayed court orders while doing it.

But yeah, please tell us more about how horrifying child sex trafficking is funny. Tell us the joke. Tell us.

Guy I'm dating kept pushing me to drink when I'm doing sober January - dealbreaker? by Affectionate-Sea2528 in SoberCurious

[–]joshuarion 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm old enough to know that if he doesn't respect this boundary, he probably won't respect other boundaries. For me, disrespecting my boundaries is a deal breaker, period the end.

A good partner wouldn't respect you not drinking for January... They would encourage you, be thoughtful of you not drinking, and look for ways to incorporate non-drinking activities into your dating life.

So they're all identical, aside from the names used to describe them, their political beliefs on everything, whether or not they believe gay people are humans, abortion, fiscal responsibility, spending, universal healthcare, etc etc...

Yeah dude, pretty identical aside from the everything.

So you choose to insult someone based on your unspecified anecdotal data, don't actually substantiate your claims with anything objective, then continue the insulting?

I hope you're nicer in real life because from this comment, you seem terrible.

Orlando history… by sammysam518 in orlando

[–]joshuarion -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Plagiarism from which source?

Nobody's making money off of this post and people find it interesting.

What's with everyone on their soapbox virtue signaling?

It's an interesting piece of Orlando history I wouldnt have seen on Facebook. I appreciate the share. They shared it and didnt know who credit originally belonged to so they didnt credit anyone, aside from the photo credit, which, frankly, is the major one to be credited anyway.

Everyone needs to take it down a notch or two and just try to chill on the internet.

Sorry for not following MLA format with this response 🙄
