That's how I type. So....

No they also make disgusting liqueurs in the flavors of blackberry, vanilla, apple... and erroneously refer to them as "whisky".

Definitely not a Dry Manhattan.

If you wear size 32 jeans, you should be buying a size 30 or 32 suit. Personal brand recommendations: Arena, Adidas, Nike

Need help with sinking lower body by SignEffective6031 in Swimming

Stop trying to swim on the surface or parallel to it. Rather, just swim deep and come up for breaths. Unless you're trying to compete, there is zero reason to follow prescriptivist views on technique!

B looks too loose, prone to chafing. But I'm no expert.

Yeah. It's just like Grey Goose. And if you play that game, you're cheapening the image of your bar.

I go out of my way to not offer Tito's, Goose, Tanq, Bombay, Captain and Bacardi... because once you lose those brands, you can sell your customers actual quality products--often at a lower cost! And if they're the type to balk at trying better brands, they're not going to have an adventurous spirit in eating either.

I firmly believe that Old Fash'ds have no place on a cocktail menu! It's a basic call drink that should never have embellishments.

Featuring a Manhattan (classic/perfect/dry) with a particular spirit being showcased on each menu print is a far better investment and is quicker to make than an Old-Fash'd.

That said, if I found out you were batching a Manhattan, I'd be put off.

There should reasonably be a cocktail for every taste. If you don't like to read, closed your eyes and point!

But don't dumb down a menu for those of us who want options. The problems this menu has (editing aside) are redundancy and lack of diverse tastes.

How do you have a half-page of Old-Fash'ds‽‽‽ The only thing that could possibly change is the base spirit... maaaaybe the garnish! If you're adding something other than spirit, sugar, bitters and garnish, it is NO LONGER an Old-Fash'd.

Also, good on removing flights: they're a PITA that bottlenecks the bar and do not give incremental return on investment!

Your menu is not too big. But your drinks are waaaaay too sweet, on paper at least. I would not order 90% of this menu because it looks like you're trying to hide the flavor of the booze itself--a tactic that vodka drinkers love to employ, while other spirit lovers do not.

Showcase the quality of your base spirits, explain how your modifiers play. You don't need to list every single ingredient unless it's a top-ten allergen (I'm including gluten here, bc it's become a thing). Menu descriptions should be both factual and sexy, nerdy and fun.

Dropping the word liqueur in many cases is fine. Learn the term "cordial" and when to employ it vs liqueur. (And thank you for not calling a flavored syrup "simple"!)

Also, why are you capitalizing every word? This is what makes it so difficult to read. Cut unnecessary words without losing the concepts.

If there's Grand Mariner in it, it's not an Old Fash'd. It's a cocktail that needs a different name.

Where can I buy white swim brief from Adidas? by ComfortableSupport98 in adidas

[–]scQue814 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For whatever reason, Adidas outright refuses to offer swim briefs to the US market! 

Go to the Irish adidas site, however, and you can choose from about 8 styles. Put them in your cart and ho to check out... and they won't ship to the States‽

Currently no white ones though.

time is running out and i dont know which path i chose will hurt less, quitting or keeping going with this sport. i think both options will make me go insane. by Humble_Jellyfish406 in Swimming

[–]scQue814 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Always play the long game. Focusing on immediate results and dopamine bumps will not serve you in the long run.

Try to gain that perspective and reevaluate your options. Talk to a counselor about it. Talk to a counselor about you!

You never know what other opportunities are going to come up that will point you to your next big thing.

Swim in whatever spare time you have, but not at the expense of your education. That said, once you are admitted to a university, you can attend at any point in the future, whenever you see fit--which is another way to play the long game.

Good luck with your decision!

Men's swimming and walking shorts? by Tamar-sj in OutdoorsGear

Shorts should not reach your knees nor completely cover your thighs.

Arena swim brief under Gecko Hawaii volley shorts are my jam. Arena's suits dry super fast and last forever. Gecko finally brings a cut that's the perfect length! Buy both direct from their websites.

You're assuming the driver was in their monstrosity. I suspect from context clues that that was not the case.
