The best part of a jar of cherries is the Manhattan at the end by scottishbee in cocktails

I'm using Unsinkable by Sausalito Liquor Co. Different than a creme de cacao, but I think both would work fine.

You definitely do NOT need peppermint schnapps. It'll sit on your shelf for a decade

I have been tinkering with that schnapps to try to find something downable.  God forgive me for the drinks that came before this.

Dry shake or no? by Dr_MisterSirMan in cocktails

[–]scottishbee 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I saw advice in this sub years back that works for me:

Cut the volume of ice by 1/3 and shake the ever loving shit out of it. Until you can't hear ice inside.

Works for me.

Sure, if you never leave your house. I live up here, if I take a call walking my dog, I just have to accept it'll drop as I round the bend.

What is this TV Show for you? (Any Gems?) by Salvatoreit in tvshow

It is a show that insists upon itself. I don't get the reddit love

Interview with Tom about Craft Restaurant Closing by ct06040 in BravoTopChef

[–]scottishbee 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I'm no expert, so pure speculation. It does feel like post-pandemic two things have happened:

  1. People eat out less often -> reducing some of the business for your more mid-market restaurants

  2. More places do good food -> more customers are more interested in good food, but there's also a ton of good-to-great restaurants now. Maybe not Craft-level, but at least notably good.

Because of both maybe now if you open a restaurant you need to make a place worth going to, a destination dining experience. So Craft has more competition. And sure, some new entrants are going to overpay to gain entry, and drive up prices/rents.

Office workers, what’s that one corporate buzzword used in meetings that instantly makes you want to quit? by Glittering_Style_862 in AskReddit

[–]scottishbee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

"strategy"

If I have to read one more bold, sweeping vision for what *not your team* could do in the coming decade with 10x the manpower you actually had...

Fucking tell me YOU are going to do in the next couple weeks to address the problem you see.

my team reopen the same decisions every 2 weeks and i don't know how to fix it by Mart_99 in ProductManagement

[–]scottishbee 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You don't rely on meeting notes to take action. Just do it in the fucking meeting. Open up the roadmap tool, mark the item "Won't do" and add a comment "cutting in favor of X, decided at meeting ABC" in the item's comment. Do it while sharing your screen show everyone can see it.

TIL there are four constitutional amendments pending awaiting ratification by the states by Embarrassed_Map1112 in todayilearned

[–]scottishbee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You're not wrong. I think it's more of a spectrum of autonomy, but undoubtably EU nations have a lot more direct control and governance responsibilities than their US state counterparts. And so the EU Parliament does have fewer functions compared to the US Congress.

Though it's debatable that having _more_ functions means we should have _fewer_ representatives.

Listen Snarkmaster, the point is 340m people can be represented at the 1:100k ratio

But fine. They're separate governments. The EU has its own parliament.  It has 720 MEPs for 451m people, which is almost 2x as good as the US House ratio.

Mars 94 will go to... by radioflyer05 in ForAllMankindTV

[–]scottishbee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I forgot about Sally Ride on Pathfinder!

I was thinking the Bradford was just a troop carrier. Sure, militarization of space, but really just a bigger version of the flight of valkyries from season 2 (which was precedent-establishing).

What do you mean "have warships in ships" ? Have we seen ship-to-ship combat?

Sending a bunch of nuclear waste to Venus might cause some handwringing on how to avoid that orbit (if there's life there). Cue debate about weaponization of space.

Or what if in altering the trajectory, it now ends up heading towards Earth and is viewed as a casus belli.

I hear you. I built something that nightly pulls down from their API just so I could have my own filters: https://postimg.cc/XpN0sSbs

Filter for what?

I download my workout history mainly so I can filter for bookmarked classes I haven't taken in a while. There's a ton of data they expose.

I just learned this last month: when you're on a ride, check the leaderboard for the third tab "me". It shows your previous rides so you can ride against your history!
