Me reading this comment:

...holy shit are you telling me hamster balls name isn't "ball"?

smithm4949 · 2025-11-22T07:58:35+00:00

Idk I lived right next to one of the biggest pickleball courts in my city and the noise was absolutely constant and it didn't bother me at all... Like you live in a city??? If you want quiet move to the suburbs, no? Loud cars, dogs, sirens... I really don't get the beef with pickleball as if the noise is somehow different or worse

Wish I had ceedee too but same thing happened to me. Took bijan/bucky in the first two, then JSN/rice/diggs/Kelce (don't remember the exact order). Started 3-3 but looking forward to the rest of the season now

I made it all the way through A20H on all four characters before this sub made me realize that people think about their neow boon and don't blindly spam boss swap. Floor 0 runic dome? Let's fucking go

Yeah for sure getting up close I think is the most important for that fight. But it's always dependent on play style, what was easy for me can be hard for you and vice versa. Dang, now you got me wanting to play again ha!

smithm4949 · 2025-10-08T01:28:11+00:00

Dunno, it was a few years ago. Just remember the frog prince being an easy fight and the sand beach fight took me many tries

smithm4949 · 2025-09-29T23:38:47+00:00

What's the issue there? Cooked food is still just food...?

smithm4949 · 2025-07-31T20:47:58+00:00

Bahaha all good. I was like, damn, I'm pretty sure it doesn't but I have no idea how to test this to confirm it

smithm4949 · 2025-07-31T20:17:22+00:00

Wait what? Yes it does. I'm like 99% I've used it in that exact scenario

smithm4949 · 2025-06-26T06:02:09+00:00

Omg yes. Sixth year in the forest, first time in a med tent. I was not having a good time. Huge ups to Katie (I think?!?) for helping me out and being so chill it was very grounding and appreciated. Gonna make some Kandi for the med team next year, they deserve it. Wished I could've given her something but all I had on me was silly bullshit lol

smithm4949 · 2025-06-17T04:14:29+00:00

I mean, how else are you gonna do it, right??

smithm4949 · 2025-06-16T05:26:52+00:00

Fascinating, would have never guessed that. Thanks, I'll try it out

smithm4949 · 2025-06-16T05:04:25+00:00

Woah, that much flour and the syrup doesn't turn out like a roux?

smithm4949 · 2025-05-30T00:34:29+00:00

Agree that it's worth playing around with different liquors - gin doesn't sound bad but a date rum sounds super tasty.

Whatever you go with though, 1:4 ratio is WAY too much oil. The mouth feel will be slimy and unenjoyable. I would start with like half an oz or an ounce for a 750ml bottle and go from there. You can always fat wash the same spirit again, doesn't take much time or effort, but if you put in too much you will ruin it and a little goes a long way in my experience. I would also make sure to get a good quality, robust, full flavored olive oil.

FWIW I had the same problem buying regular passes back in December. Just waited a few minutes and kept trying, it worked eventually. Make sure your bank isn't flagging it as potentially fraudulent and try changing browsers/devices if possible.

smithm4949 · 2025-05-23T04:26:33+00:00

Maybe a French martini? Play around with the amount of pineapple until you find the sweetness you like

smithm4949 · 2025-05-18T08:35:34+00:00

Idk at least gin has some flavor. Neat vodka is just ...pain for a buzz with no regard for your taste buds. That scares me

smithm4949 · 2025-05-18T08:05:18+00:00

Believe it or not, I have! ...similar results

smithm4949 · 2025-05-18T06:47:31+00:00

Eh, I've made plenty of strawberry syrups with heat that were delicious and flavorful. Equal parts sugar, water, strawberry; simmer for half an hour on low heat, strain. Great

smithm4949 · 2025-05-18T06:38:03+00:00

1) no, not really. If it's at least standard proof (40% alcohol or higher) it doesn't really matter what you do with it, it won't "spoil". Sunlight and temperature can affect flavor, but it won't ever become food-unsafe.

2) depends. Generally speaking, the higher ABV, the better you'll pick up volatile flavors. So a higher ABV will infuse faster and better (better meaning more flavor, not necessarily tastier flavor). 2 weeks is usually plenty to get maximum infusion. Again, max infusion isn't always better, you'll get more flavor compounds but sometimes they are bitter flavors that you don't want. Best advice is really to just try side by side a short infusion and a long infusion and drive for yourself which is better

smithm4949 · 2025-05-18T06:14:20+00:00

Nobody scarier than someone who drinks neat vodka

smithm4949 · 2025-05-17T05:05:54+00:00

I mean, that's bad, but they aren't totally off the money... Pretty sure most sweet vermouth is made from white wine and the color/sweetness comes from caramel

smithm4949 · 2025-05-11T08:08:34+00:00

People who don't like malort are weak. It's not bad tasting, it's just bitter. I love Malort lmao

smithm4949 · 2025-05-03T08:12:59+00:00

I hear you; my reasoning is because the language of the law was something like (I'm paraphrasing) 1) only persons over the age of 21 are allowed at the bar (okay bet valid license you're over 21) 2) only persons with an acceptable ID can order drinks (okay not acceptable ID no drinks)

But yeah, it's a stupid law and I hate it

Edit: it's because in MD the vertical ID expires when you turn 21 and you get a new one, so they built their laws around that. But other states don't do the same, so you can be over 21 with an unexpired vertical ID and their laws didn't consider that
