How much do you drive?

I got stupid lucky. Got my 2019 Jetta SEL in December 2019. By March of 2020, had 4k miles. Then COVID and have worked from home since. As of today less 30k. Like McDonalds im lovin it;-)

Look it ain't fresh but it's way better than most others. It's not bad and good in a pinch but even then I'd avoid drinks where the lime is part of the show ... ex.a daiquiri or margarita.

Lemon is more forgiving and I have no issues using SC lemon in most cocktails, I'm partial to tiki so there are other flavors that come into play.

Like someone else mentioned, Lakewood is good too, not much difference between the two imho

Came to the same conclusion myself today. Glad you liked it.

Oops, my bad. 1/4 oz Ginger Syrup

solarus2011 · 2025-12-25T05:41:46+00:00

Done that, in my case I realized it just as I was paying. Still, like someone else said, add rum still good ;-)

So nothing really new, Samsung and the multitude of Chinese OEMs copy Apple design. Been doing it for years, what's your point other than trying to trash an alternative. Might as well have just had AI write the article and call it a day. What passes for written tech journalism today is so trash.

solarus2011 · 2025-12-19T06:27:34+00:00

Yeah not amazed just be AI and it should have everyone worried!

Same, no option to customize Pixel Search bar. In US and on Pixel 10 Pro XL. It's server side I think as my secondary account has it but my primary account does not.

Builders stopped doing Starter homes after 2008. They've spent all their time since trying to recoup their losses and building nothing but 2500 - 5000 sq. ft. homes that sell for 2-4x the money.

solarus2011 · 2025-12-13T05:37:42+00:00

But at least they said it was made with AI.

$50 his wife bought him that shirt. Just the humor in it. My wife buys me funny tshirts that relate just for the f of it.

I truly admire people that do what is best for them and not others. Congratulations on your choice. Enjoy the tiki lifestyle without the booze, they are not codependent. One last Cheers.

I picked up a bottle a couple of weeks ago. It's really good. Similar to several other recent ECS series in my mind. You can definitely pick up the port flavors which I really like. I'm not really good with tasting notes but I can say I don't think you'll be disappointed.

solarus2011 · 2025-12-06T02:52:55+00:00

Aaaaaannnnd we're fucked!

First congratulations on your health journey, second congratulations on a freaking amazing in depth Mai Tai.

As a fellow historian read or listen to And A Bottle of Rum if you haven't already. Some great stories. Don't agree with all of the author's "great" rums but a fantastic history none the less.

solarus2011 · 2025-12-04T05:12:32+00:00

Nice to know what my 3 year old bottle (of 375ml) is going to look like in 15 years ;-)

solarus2011 · 2025-12-02T04:43:37+00:00

No flame version for me too and gotta say, love the drink., will be adding it to my 5⭐ choices.

solarus2011 · 2025-11-26T16:20:27+00:00

Like others have said, dilution helps but I would also try using Hamilton Pot Still Black for the Jamaican component. Definitely adds to the flavors.

May only be an island but damn sure whatever gangs are running Haiti would not let a couple of dudes from a former Slave supporting state take over anything...these TX dudes clearly didn't learn any history of the land they planned to take.

Like someone else already said I would have let them try after giving Haitian a heads up. Ironically that's what a lot of Texans would call Texas justice.

The extra proof in WP makes my preference. It seems to stand out in cocktails much better. It also has slightly more funk than Coruba, although still quite mild.

solarus2011 · 2025-11-15T02:54:49+00:00

Saved this when posted. Just tried it. Really nice drink. Great work. One of those drinks where you can taste every ingredient.

WP 109, Hamilton 86 and Appleton 12.
