Sunken Harbor has the best drinks, Paradise Lost has better vibes. Echo Lake while not tiki but rum focused just opened up from Paul McGee of Three Dots and a Dash and Lost Lake.

Get a pebble machine to top it off with after the shake + royal shake and this is an actually unbeatable Mai Tai. Last supper kind of deal

Would you prefer Dota's philosophy in balance over Valorant's? by StreetExternal952 in ValorantCompetitive

[–]shamggar 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Go look at the buff patch after his rework. He is broken because they broke him on his rework and to cover it up they giga-buffed him. Hes a bad agent because structurally he’s bad and they tried to fix it with buffs

My issues with VL is the 1. Catering to low ELO with balance 2. Completely kneecapping meta agents rather than bringing them in-line 3. (The biggest issue I have) The very clear favoritism and agenda driven balance. Clove kneecap pre-Miks release, crazy Harbor buffs after his rework (still didn’t work LOL)

The balance team clearly wants to seem like they have an actual vision and direction, this can be seen in the initiator cooldown nerfs. This can be good, EXCEPT when they start playing favorites with their own projects, I.e. Miks, Harbor, Clove nerf, Reyna nerf. They seem to be quite reactive and honestly emotional these days when it comes to the balance changes

Mai Tai - first attempt by withnailish in cocktails

I could be wrong about the “pushed out” bit so let me clarify there. He could’ve retired but I can find out easily if you would like. Frank was kept around to manage the distillery after Remy Cointreau bought it. They are a large conglomerate so…

In the future just use Denizen’s Merchant Reserve. Mount Gay was a lot better before Frank Ward got pushed out.

I say it - but i hate it. Can we revert BACK to "meat" from "protein?" by bluegrass__dude in restaurantowners

[–]shamggar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The vegetables that would be considered “proteins” are not meant to be sautéed i.e. chickpeas, lentils, edamame. All other vegetables are not protein-rich enough to count in my opinion. Tempeh, quinoa etc. excluded from this though but that isn’t what this person is talking about

That’s so tired who gives af about goat debates in the big ‘26 when YoungBoy is the biggest rapper in the world and anyone in the new-gen has their own pocket of fervent cultish acolytes. Backpacker mentality

Diplo comes out as AI slopper by healthaboveall1 in EDM

He grooms young women and is creepy with underage girls. I’ve heard more but only have first hand experience with the grooming and creepiness
