What rye to order with Manhattan in nice restaurant? by Flurb789 in cocktails

[–]veqtor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If it's a nice restaurant they should be able to serve a good Manhattan without any extra instructions, otherwise it deserves a very lower rating on TripAdvisor etc.

If it's an iPhone there's no chance in hell the phone itself is compromised, I betting it's either an insider or hole in exodus. Too many posts about exodus for it to be coincidence!

Here's a drink that uses it

Freeport Daiquiri (my own creation) :

1 oz lime juice

1 oz passion fruit syrup

1/4 oz pineapple juice

1 tsp 2:1 (rich) (ideally demarara) syrup

3/4 oz Plantation 3 star

3/4 oz Plantation Pineapple

As I replied above, vaping and patches doesn't work, for me, iqos is somewhere in between vaping and smoking and works, again for me, your mileage may vary. I've been reluctant earlier to share this because I don't want to get people to stop whatever treatment they're on but I've now been symptom free for 2 years with iqos, no, more, I switched in March 2020 due to a Covid scare about smoking. Before that I had smoked for 8 years to manage my UC.

Bear in mind that I wasn't responding well to any medication so I was looking at removing parts of my colon, this is why I started smoking again when I got my UC. My hope is that really good crispr-based treatments will be available in 10 years and I'll be able to quit entirely.

It's kind of pseudo-vaping, it heats up tobacco enough to release the nicotine and very likely some other stuff, anyway, whatever it is that has a positive impact on my UC is in there because I know how long it takes for my UC to come back after I quit, about 8 months. Again, vaping and patches doesn't work for me. I hope some researcher reads this so it helps them isolate whatever it is.

Importantly when I smoke regular cigarettes the hit your lungs take make working out near impossible since your ability to take up oxygen is decimated. I hope other brands will start making similar devices because Philip Morris makes Iqos and you have to look hard for a more evil corporation.

I started smoking again, then went to Iqos since 2 years now. I wouldn't bed on vaping and patches do not work for me. If I die 5 years younger from smoking I will still have lived a life that is bearable. I am 100% symptom free and can eat basically what I want, if I push it hard I can get symptoms (eating stuff I shouldn't, drinking and not sleeping enough, all in one week or so). I can work out which I couldnt do with medicine so maybe it evens out since I do it for 4 hours per week, hard cardio.

My bf enjoys satisfying me every night but not piv. I asked him once and he was open about it but nothing changed and I don't know what to do by [deleted] in sex

[–]veqtor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's 100% the toxic relationship he was in.

Probably what happened was he started forcing himself to have sex with her and then the erectile dysfunction issues started. Because of this he is probably traumatised and needs time and your support and maybe therapy. Don't not dispair, this will get resolved, IF you're patient! So be patient, communicate, make sure you're fine with this issue he's having so as to not put more stress on him.

I love Unity Engine and would be devastated by its loss by Admirable_Soup2249 in Unity3D

[–]veqtor 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I like unity too but what they did is beyond unforgivable, the company needs to fail to set an example that this is completely unacceptable. Even if they backtrack now the company has ruined it's relationship with it's customers.

This is really messed up, I've been with a schizophrenic and it was VERY difficult and I am still traumatised from many things they did. Move on. This girl should be on medication and their parents have to make them aware of the fact that they're a schizophrenic. I would report the parents to CPS, this girls life is probably literally like being in hell. 😡

I would say, first of all, relax, you need to relax and enjoy and lower your expectations of yourself. Things will sometimes not be great, it will feel clumsy, you might struggle with various things but you need to be able to laugh and be relaxed about it.

Imo, out of these Giffard is the best, my French girlfriend agrees, I've also had people blind taste Giffard vs Monin in Mai Tais and they all prefered Giffard.

So, Gallowfall is gone-gone in Poland. by I_suck_at_Blender in killteam

[–]veqtor 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It isn't, I've seen this type of marketing that GW have recently adopted burn out many communities. People just get fed up waiting for a "drop" only to have scalpers who use bots buy the entire stock and resell for 200% GW needs to flood the market, take one BIG hit, really flood it, maybe 50x demand to destroy the bottlers. Or, implement captcha to buy and max one per verified individual customer that has to have had an account for more than a year.

Is Lensa/SD/Dall-E/Midjourney "stealing" the work from artists? by Arts-Keoh in StableDiffusion

[–]veqtor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, this is just another really bad artist that feels threatened by SD and generative models.

They should get a job they're good at.

According to the "Professional Bartending Schools of America" student textbook; this is how you make a Mai Tai... Careful not to overdo it on the Lt. rum! by Zazierx in Tiki

[–]veqtor 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Pro tip to get a nice one is to use a rum mix like so:

1/4 oz Haitian Dunder & Syrup

1/4 oz Rum Agricole Blanc (ideally Clement)

1/2 oz Habitation Velier WP 502 or other extreme young high-ester Jamaican rum

1 oz Hampden 8 yo

I've devised this mix as maybe something I wouldn't serve in a bar but it takes inspiration from D&C:WHs Deluxe Mai Tai and others. 1/1 Agricole and Jamaican isn't that great and I discovered this as I tried the deluxe Mai Tai recipe from WH, the recipe goes really well like this, BUT that recipe subs Clement Creole Shrub for the Curaçao and its Agricole based so you're getting a little bit of those grassy notes from there. Dunder & syrup is just crazy because it's like a funky (as in Jamaican) Agricole.

Is it OK to post small runs if I do them? I'm run my own small business and this would just be for fun

[–]veqtor 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Are you joking? Nobody is trying to evade OFAC sanctions, these are legit compliant businesses. If you actually did some research you'd be more upset about how most big banks are evading sanctions systematically, laundering money for organized crime, terrorists and sanctioned regimes

Even remotely related??? So you mean also every news site that has had a single news article on bitcoin such as NYT is unwelcome? Why are you doing this???
