I tried a Taiwanese sherried whiskey tonight (at the Fitz, eat it everyone who knows what this means)


It was decent. Aberlour was significantly better for the price.

Slivovitz.

Jesus f-ck, I tried it. OK, so it isn't the worst thing I've ever had. That would be any whiskey I've ever had.

It is very, very warming. I can see why people from places with long, cold winters and no insulation drink it. It isn't hideous in flavor and it isn't war crime-level rough -- again, that would be any whiskey.

It is most definitely an alcohol which is used For Effect, not for flavor or ambience, unless by ambience you mean getting fished out of the Kosice drunk tank at 3 a.m. by your grand-babushka.

I give it a 3. I have had a lot worse in my life. Or it is just possible that the drink of my rock-eating Carpathian ancestors hooks on to some atavistic reactant in my brain and reminds me of old days nailing Slovak girls behind the pig sh-t pit.

Nursing a snifter of Sunnyside. A nice bite and low in VOCs.

Top five USCHO post ever.

Highly recommend.

We picked this up in Holbrook 2 years ago. Spendy ($25 for 370 ml) but absolutely worth it. The Junmai Ginjo I am drinking is called "pr-ckly pear," and it has desert herb infusion. It's amazing.

The fact that it's from Holbrook is wildly bizarre. Holbrook is a Route 66 town and it features stuff like this:







Looks like a kitschy tourist trap town, right? Wrong. Holbrook is a real deal cowboy town which means it is seedy and poor and gross. Here's a property being offered on Zillow:



This place is pure Tremors. And out of town on the interstate is the Sake place and it's a gem. So, anyway, if you're ever in the area, run in, buy some stuff, and then get the hell out of town before nightfall.

That's what I said! jeeze....

Bad bot

Bots actually experience time differently from me and you. Instead of McTaggart's A and B series, bots occupy a C series, since they ironically have no Being yet can both access past through RAM and presage the future through the instruction cycle.

Bots thus have both past and future but no present. They are the exact opposite of animals which live in an eternal present (Turritopsis dohrnii has so far lived for 500 million years, which is 15,768,000,000,000,000 seconds, every one of them in this instant).

anygreen's post was at 5:55 pm, but it references the day (past) and the night (future) as if the same instant, cleverly illustrating that it does not have a present. I thought it was quite subtle.

Despite an eclectic sinner's life, I had somehow lived 59 years and 11 months on this Earth without ever trying a jello shot. Now I have. I liked it.

Since proper beer is not easy to come by I tend to rotate through Woodford, Maestro Dobel 50, Oban 18, Auchentoshan Three Wood, Old Forester 1920 and believe it or not Aviation.

Well Ryan Reynolds makes anything better I suppose...

It is a gin&tonic night for me today

It is a gin&tonic night for me today . I didn't drink for two weeks already and am a little excited about it.
I will be also playing some games tonight (you can check here, what i am talking about) with my friends and hopefully have a very nice and relaxing evening.
Next week will be again alcohol free as i have many important meetings and presentations.

2 Silos Gingerbread Ale

Amazing. At 22 IBU about the most hoppy beer I can tolerate. Yes. I know. A+

[dxmnkd316]

I've been drinking. ABR is great. Gophers are not.
