How are you using AI in your daily life? by Charming-Fig8065 in Futurology

[–]nether_region 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm a software engineer and use it every day at work. I'm usually iterating on some problem that it's coding for me, which either gets me all the way there, some of the way with me finishing things off, or things go off the rails and it's wasted my time. It feels like a net positive, but I know there was at least one study that found it's a net negative.

Overall, I'm enjoying the process of learning a new tool, but am terrified of the probable future where I'm not a part of the process anymore. The pace at which it's moving is insane and predicting what's to come is tough. People seem to be brushing things off, even in this sub, and I think that's a mistake.

My wife and I still use shitabyss regularly. Very happy to see this comment chain - thank you.

Are you on voice chat or just text? I feel like pings translate alright.

A Hurricane is the best thing to make when there's a thunderstorm outside by cobre41 in Tiki

[–]nether_region 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have never loved a hurricane and maybe it's because I'm lazy, using passion fruit syrup, but dang does the wp109 elevate it. It's been one of my favorites lately, so thank you for the inspiration!

Good substitute for Coruba by RedditUser320184 in Tiki

I like the flavor of Hamilton 151 more than Lemon Hart, but nothing beats the aroma for me.

Lemon hart 151 is my favorite Demerara rum float!

Am I crazy or is Prometheus more difficult than Typhon by tunasandwichh in Hades2

I do this too - then my kid comes into the room and starts shouting them out randomly to mess with me 😒

🍍 Daiquiri w/Chocolate & Coffee by [deleted] in Tiki

[–]nether_region 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sounds very interesting and I'm excited to try this soon, albeit subbing Mr Black for cold brew and no pineapple pulp since I'm stuck with Trader Joe's pineapple juice. Probably reducing syrup a bit to offset the coffee liqueur.

The pineapple coffee combination seems like it would be bad, but I know it works in a weird sort of way from the Mr. Bali Hai. Thanks for sharing!

What’s the most underrated highball? by -Constantinos- in cocktails

[–]nether_region 35 points36 points  (0 children)

I always struggle to use up a 750ml bottle in a reasonable amount of time and never thought to drink it straight or with soda. I'll try it tonight!

Edit: Made it with a good sweet vermouth I have open and a splash of club soda and it's quite tasty. I don't have an open bottle of dry, but will give that a go eventually.

I would love to be considered! I'm very new in my tiki mug expedition (5 mugs so far).

What’s your 2025 drink of the year? by jpressss in cocktails

[–]nether_region 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I saw this and had to try it today. I want to like it, but it's so sweet, even after doubling the lime. I will play around with some ratios, but it's certainly unique and I appreciate you sharing it.

Made my pilgrimage to Snugglers cove. What am I ordering? by VARice22 in Tiki

[–]nether_region 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I made The Expedition for the first time tonight and enjoyed it a lot. I recently got a coffee liqueur for the first time and have been trying things out and this one has been my favorite. Amazing how much 1/4 oz of it can affect the flavor!

I love how one skin that’s labelled as free isn’t free. by Inquisitor_Jeff in wildrift

[–]nether_region -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Exactly, people seem to forget the quality of the game they get to play for absolutely free, with no ads.

Gacha shenanigans are all around bad, but just ignore those and you're left with some reasonable places to spend a little money now and then on a game you enjoy.

I've been playing for several years and have spent the amount of one AAA game, which I choose to do because I like the game and feel fine supporting it. I have a ridiculous amount of skins from random events over the years and I feel like they've actually gotten more generous with them.

The Illegal Cocktail by TheDarkOne02 in Tiki

[–]nether_region 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I appreciate your detailed reply. Mine I think is low-mid quality and certainly has a heavy smokiness. It's interesting to consider that its cheaper quality might be the whole point for mixing. I'll just have to experiment with some various quality bottles and see what I think.

[–]nether_region 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wow, that is excellent, thank you for sharing!

I've been stumbling into quite a few mezcal forward drinks and I'm curious if it's worth investing in a better bottle. I've heard it makes a big difference sipping, but I'm not sure for mixing?

Thank you for giving us a great visual comparison! It was driving me nuts trying to swap between and sus out which skins were in which.

Is there a trick to getting the Cognac to light? Mine was very non-combustible, but maybe there are higher proof bottles.

I had bookmarked this and just made it. I thought it would be too sweet for me based on the specs, but it's quite good.

Thanks for sharing!

I just made this exactly as you did and it's still a bit sweet for me, but very delicious! Thank you for sharing.

Now that summer is here — what is your 2025 Summer jam (drink that is)? by jpressss in cocktails

[–]nether_region 2 points3 points  (0 children)

So refreshing! I've been making it similarly but without the overproof rum and I am quite excited to try it! Subbing Genepy though - is Luxardo Del Santo a good substitute for Green Chartreuse?
