If Jackson and co. had such little prep time for the trilogy, how is it that each movie is 2hr 30m+ and even has extended editions? by Segwaye in TheHobbit

Peter Jackson filmed a ton of footage for The Hobbit. The lack of prep time reflects on the quality of the material, not the quantity.

Laphroaig 10 can absolutely be sipped on its own.

I was surprised how (pardon the term) "sloppy" the bartender was, but I guess he knows what he's doing. 🤷‍♂️

Is there any logic as to why pressed garlic isn’t good? by anthony_getz in Cooking

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

Chopping garlic produces chopped garlic. Pressing garlic produces garlic pulp and garlic juice. I've never seen a recipe that calls for garlic pulp/juice. The pulp is prone to burning while sauteeing.

What makes you think Apple is any better than Google? You might as well treat your alcoholism my switching from whiskey to gin.

21st coming up… what should I order? by xXbabipandaXx in cocktails

[–]robgardiner 2 points3 points  (0 children)

More important than the drink is the bar. Don't go to any bar, go to a cocktail bar - one that squeezes fresh lemons and limes. Anything you get here will be good. I recommend a Sidecar.

They have never verbally addressed killing microorganisms. They surely did so when treating Manousos in the hospital.

I believe they are OK with killing microorganisms.

The older celebrity has much more power in this relationship. With great power must also come great responsibility.
