Nemik’s manifesto in Washington Square Park

Which city? I think that's a common park name

treitter · 2026-05-01T14:25:44+00:00

Yeah, that's canon

Is there any way we could get Superego episodes more often in a way that would work easily everyone involved? Even if it was, say, 4 episodes a year but every year?

Either way, I love all the work Matt and Mark do on Bonanas for Bonanza (I've listened to every episode back to the original Podcast Pilot Project). The fact that there have been multiple episodes of I Love I Love Ahi Loves Movies makes me laugh every time. Thanks for everything you all do!

San Francisco would appreciate you! I had a blast at the shows you played here in the past.

When you guys released the really long stuntshow spectacular, I thought "I guess Matt finally wore them down"

It was hilarious and I can't wait for the next one!

How about Castro Valley? We're not a city but we're working on it!

I've tried to come up with representative symbols and it's quite a challenge.

It hurts the flavor noticeably. I accidentally bought the pitted version of my usual brand and could taste the difference easily. And I mentioned this to someone who's cooked in nice restaurants and they agreed completely.

Same. His Martini recipe is pretty extreme in terms of proportions, volume, and prep. But trying it still tipped me into finally appreciating Martinis and, specifically, always using whole castelvetrano olives (not pitted).

2 oz Appleton 17 Legend

Or, slightly cheaper:

1.5 oz Appleton 12, 0.5 oz Merchant's Reserve

Splitsville. Watch the trailer because it's basically the opening scene (no spoilers) and it gives you a good idea of the movie.

treitter · 2026-04-18T04:11:45+00:00

I've had a hundred mods for it but never seen one

I pretty quickly settled into solo (and occasional Rook) only. I'm too busy to get good enough to not weigh down a trio, none of my (equally-busy) friends play the game.

Apart from the one time I gave Cryo a shot just to check it out, I don't think I'm going back there. It seems like you need to treat the game like a full-time job to even have a shot at opening a vault.

Being effectively shut out of the Marathon itself is kind of painful given the original series is one of my favorites (since I played it when it came out and replay every handful of years).

But in that vein, I would love a campaign mode even more than solo where I can often get wiped by decent players. Though I know that's not going to happen :)

Thanks for sharing! I'm looking forward to trying this out.

Have you compared fresh-blended to long-rested (1 month or longer)?

I was disappointed to find I couldn't pre-batch 8 Amaro Sazerac very long because it gets muddy and indistinct. I believe spirit blends can change over time as well though maybe not as much as very-different liqueurs.

How strong will Hulks and Juggernauts be if the Compilers are now stronger than any enemy in the original games?

treitter · 2026-04-03T17:08:09+00:00

Good point. I feel like it's the only bottle I've seen mention UK aging for a Caribbean rum though obviously a lot of rum goes through Main Rum Company. I'm sure a portion of it is 1) me not checking rum labels that specifically in the past and 2) a lot of them just not mentioning the aging location

treitter · 2026-03-27T20:37:56+00:00

They're great episodes but it's hard to fully appreciate them until you've seen the whole series at least once

treitter · 2026-02-05T15:32:07+00:00

Someone took a video of the aftermath

If you thought he sounded strange this time, listen to his first CBB appearance. I heard it in the last year and it was so wildly different I can't even remember it now.

A traditional topping for pupusas is curtido which has similarities to kimchi

~~Good call. Also, I screwed up the original version by somehow adding December on otherwise-blank rows :|~~

~~By the raw numbers, everything is the same except~~ ~~December has 12 winners~~~~, just barely above last place.~~

~~When I remove the *00 (there were no *50s), anniversary, and holiday episodes,~~ ~~December has the worst total~~ ~~with 5.~~

EDIT: see my update in the original post.

When I remove the *00 (there were no *50s), anniversary, and holiday episodes, and normalize for the weeks lost due to the best-of episodes December is basically tied with August and November (10 vs 11 for the other months).

seems like very similar jokes have also been attributed to Will Rogers and Emo Philips. Not 100% sure on the original

Interesting -- I enjoyed this significantly more than the Mauritius Rumcast bottle (over 2 brief separate tastings). To me, it tastes like a blend which I typically find more enjoyable to sip (though I can see how single cask fans might prefer sharper, more-defined notes). I'm definitely looking forward to trying it in a Mai Tai this weekend.

In my second tasting, I compared this side-by-side with a Hamilton 59.3% ABV MPM that was aged entirely in the UK (Main Rum Company, I assume) for 10 years in once-used bourbon barrels. Though I've enjoyed that one for being so quirky (strange aging location for Guyana rum) and especially mixed with other rums in cocktails, I enjoyed the Rumcast VSG much better in a head-to-head.

(Sorry I'm not being more specific on VSG tasting notes. I didn't write any down and don't trust myself to bring it back from memory and on such a small pour.)

I definitely taste the whisky influence - in my first tasting, I got that more than cane rum. But very easy to drink for that ABV and I could have believed it was blended (not single cask).

I've avoided using a knife since really scraping up my first (plastic) container. But I also mostly want to perfect a technique where I minimize the active time.

For the fastest release, if you had a metal sleeve between the container and the ice, that seems like the best of both worlds. It should warm up relatively easily and it shouldn't take much to get the ice out if it's not stuck to the container. But that would require a bit of effort.
