    Liquors & Cocktails

    I've never understood the whole spiced rum thing because it mostly tastes like crap rum with crap flavors added to me. Appleton 12 year and the Estate V/X are both excellent. Havana Club rums are similarly universally good if there's a distributor for them around you. Two of my favorite rums...

    Cocktails

    What the fuck, no. A godfather is traditionally equal parts scotch and amaretto, but is more commonly constructed with 2 parts scotch to 1 part amaretto. The godfather is one of the great nightcaps of all time. Don't go dragging its name through the mud with that shit. Amaretto gets a bad...

    Liquors & Cocktails

    Why not just stick with Makers if that's what you like? They aren't lying. A 3% drop in alcohol isn't going to noticeably affect anything. If your palate if refined enough to tell the difference between 86 proof Makers and 80 proof Makers then why the fuck are you drinking Makers? If you are...

    How stupid are you compared to your great gramps?

    Oh man, even something like this demonstrates how even better methods of determining intelligence can fuck up as they are still beholden to context and and expectations, and how difficult it is to measure intelligence. I looked at that stupid graph for way to long, always adding more and more...

    Liquors & Cocktails

    That's more or less the proper way to taste spirits with a couple exceptions. Usually you breath in through your mouth and out through your nose. The idea is that inhaling through your mouth helps gets the volatile compounds popping to detect all the notes, while exhaling through the nose lets...

    Should you tip the waitress and how much thread

    My wife and I have been in a hotel since November for her job, and we leave $10 when we let them in to clean every other week. Extended stays are mostly the only time I'm going to tip housekeeping though, since like you I normally don't bother with them at all.

    Should you tip the waitress and how much thread

    I think it would be almost trivial to make the argument that every job is worth more than minimum wage. Because minimum wage in this country is shit. Bam. Can of worms.

    Should you tip the waitress and how much thread

    That's the best part about being a bartender. Telling shitty people to get the fuck out of your bar. Well that and the retarded pay.

    Should you tip the waitress and how much thread

    Full time servers at a casual dinning place are going to be pulling in 18-28k here. Yeah at a nice place a server can easily be pulling in 40-50k, but like I said fine dining is a different beast. I don't know what to tell you about your shit salary. I made 22k a year as a cook part time (30...

    Should you tip the waitress and how much thread

    I'll preface this by saying that this mostly applies to the casual dining crowd in the midwest. Other areas of the country have a much healthier industry than the fucked up state of affairs here. Fine dining works differently. I tip 25% because fuck ya'll. Serving is a shit job that pays way...

    I was hoping it would be about Kwame "The human penalty" Harris. I was a big fan of his following the release of his 2006highlightslowlights video. Unfortunately it doesn't appear the video exists anywhere anymore. Godspeed sweet prince.

    Ehh, I liked Abrams choice of excessive lens flare in the first film to convey the fundamental optimism of the Star Trek universe.

    Canadian rye and American rye are two different beasts. From distillation to finishing they are made differently. In short Canadian ryes are going to be subtler with a complex profile while American ryes are going to be bolder with a more limited depth. AFAIK all Candian rye is blended in a...

    2012 NFL Season

    I was considering the same thing because Norv has been a consistently good OC. While I think we are seeing the beginning of the pro game catch back up to the college game in terms of offensive schemes, I think it's going to be a slow transition for the same reasons that the pro game has been...

    28mm Miniature Tabletop Wargaming Thread

    First I urge you to stick with warmahordes. It's a phenomenal game, and by far the deepest most tactically challenging mini's game I've ever played. That tactical depth means you are going to lose a lot when you first start. A lot. Depending on how good your group you may have to play 50 games...

    Free Agent chat time! Bengals: Pay the men: Kevin Huber- P - Huber doesn't have the longest or most consistent punts, but he does excel at placing the ball down inside the 10. That's a punter worth keeping. Andre Smith- OT - Andre Smith is one of the best right tackles in the league...

    ND hates the the Big 10 because way back in the early days of football ND was all "hey that's a nice conference. we will join." And then Michigan was all like "lol no you can't join the big 10 you devil worshiping catholic micks." and then ND threw a fit. ND was with the Big East and will be...
