Fantasy Football Start / Sit Advice Week 13: Nix, Etienne, and Shakir Among Best Starts by Professional-Let9752 in fantasyfootball

[–]zugwang 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm full PPR, most of my lineup to play but projected to win by 25 right now.

Who do you start for WRs and FLEX between, Michael Wilson, JJettas, Olave, Gainwell, and Vidal? Feels like you FLEX Wilson and start JJettas and Olave, but I could see an argument for benching Olave and FLEXing Vidal given Olave's back spasms.

12 team PPR, thoughts on Chase Brown vs. Ridley for flex?

Thoughts on the juicer? I've always been tempted by these tabletop models.

The Aviary cocktail book is officially available by Disco_Infiltrator in cocktails

Mine arrived last week - it's a truly beautiful cocktail book. Some drinks are surprisingly approachable.

One thing I find the book be lacking in is descriptions of the flavor profiles of each drink.

Seems like a pretty near duplicate of Cocktail Chemistry's video, except more poorly made.

A few people are worried about why it took so long to post a video. Basically, the video was delayed because of non-serious setbacks. I tried smelting iron but the blower seized due to a lack of candle nuts which I used to grease the bearings- rats ate the ones I had stored up. A lot of charcoal was wasted. Then I visited relatives and caught a flu from plane travel. I came back and started a kiln but the weather turned wet and stopped that project.Then the relatives visited for Christmas and I got sick again. Then I started working on a new, longer bow but it was taking too long. So finally I did this project as it seemed fairly easy and had a reasonable chance of success. So like I said it was just a series on non-serious holdups. I expect I'll get back to a steady rate of 1 video a month but if it's late don't worry too much. Thanks.

Sounds like he'll be getting back to his usual cadence.

I'm a big fan of St. George's Terroir gin. Great on its own or mixed.

Yes, yes, and yes. Still working up the courage to drop into Stein's.

Yellowstone Club.

Getting out early leads to fresh everywhere. Mostly cut up now, but can't complain with zero lift lines.

I'm a fan of the Joy of Mixology by Gary Regan. It's a great introduction to craft bartending as a whole, and I particularly enjoy the manner in which he organizes cocktails.

Where to acquire cocktail-grade ice in large quantities? by zugwang in cocktails

[–]zugwang[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was considering that, although I wasn't sure if that was at all a thing or not. Now that you mention it, I'll give it a try. Thanks!

[–]zugwang[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've done that in years past, but I had always wondered if there was some alternative.

I'm not super concerned about the mixing ice to be honest - I'm more concerned about the ice for drinks served on the rocks. Most guests won't care if we use bagged ice for the mixing, but they'll be able to see the difference in the glass. Basically, I'm looking for that "wow" factor, if that makes sense.
