Whiskey, particularly high end whiskey, is something people tend to drink because they enjoy the taste and flavor, in amounts small enough to not get hammered. Adding a small bit of water to it changes the flavor profile, adding to the enjoyment. Are all of your meals just unseasoned chicken breast and steamed vegetables, since food is just a thing people take in to meet caloric needs, and anyone who derives other sensory things from it is just deluding themselves?

Tunicate posted:he's got magnetic teeth Oh hey so in the Adam Project, the new Netflix Ryan Reynolds venture. In the final showdown the evil lady goes to shoot the good guy, but the bullet is drawn into the nearby core of the particle accelerator, going through the chest of her younger self in the process. Good guy remarks that the armor piercing bullets are drawn to the accelerator and it pays to be a nerd and know the science. So, uh, why wasn't the gun and it's magazine full of bullets ripped out of her hands by the magnetic field? Also if a magnetic field is strong enough to divert a bullet a few meters into its flight, isnt that past the point where it'll be ripping humans apart?

IIRC it has to do with how the guaiacol — which is the alcohol molecule that gives whisky it’s flavor — reacts when the solution is diluted. The water pushes it to the surface and you pick up the aroma easier that way.

It is also a solvent. Which means at higher concentrations it both contains more of the molecules that you taste, and deadens your tastebuds. So with higher-proof booze, adding a little water winds up enhancing the flavor because the slightly-diluted whiskey isn’t numbing your tongue as much, so you taste more of the stuff that dissolved into the whiskey from the barrel. HTH.

I’ve got a bunch of different whiskey and Bourbon. Some of it I’ll mix with other stuff or do shots with, some of it I’d never do that with.

Phanatic posted:Drinks that are nothing but spirits get stirred. Shaking melts more ice and dilutes the drink more, so Bond ordering his drink shaken means he wants something that’s just straight alcohol but wants it watered down for the same reason he thinks .32ACP is a potent round: Ian Fleming was a bit of a tosser. Fun thing, Fleming was also into BDSM.

I should have cooked it like a pie instead.

I know how to bake although I'm terrible at it. Whenever I try to follow the recipe something goes wrong, like maybe I added too much of little of something so a dough won't knead properly.

Quickbreads are easy enough and tbh yeast based breads aren't bad either if you have a mixer or a bread machine but it is altogether a lot of work and cleanup to be doing that stuff on the reg

My IIMM is how long it takes to clean up the kitchen after making pie crust. I should just start making a triple batch and shoving two thirds of it in the freezer but I never think to do it.

In the hit TV show FRIENDS that everyone loves, Ross Geller’s son Ben just disappears when Emma is born and Ross makes no mention of him or his ex wife again. Did Ross just abandon his child? Did Ben die? More likely, Ross has brutally murdered his son, ex-wife and her wife.

Ben does get mentioned occasionally but it's definitely hosed up that Ross still hangs around after he has not one but two kids. It's time to retire from the friends crew my man and do some child-rearing

I seem to recall he signed a thing relinquishing rights to custody? He like gave his kid to his ex-wife and her wife. I think. Because they were moving to LA? I sure don't remember a second kid unless you mean the monkey.

I think I might have reached the peak when Pixar movies just don't do it for me. Luca was clearly written for little kids, Soul didn't make me identify with anyone but the Moondog guy. Coco was the last one where I loving got it in the feels and bawled like a loving baby. But Turning Red, while cute, just felt...rushed and incomplete. I can't name off anything from any of the characters other than Control Freak Mom. Small characters like the fish tank crew in Finding Nemo felt like they had more characterization than pretty much anyone in Turning Red. Was it the narration? Was it that I lived through that time about that age and recognized so much in the movie that it didn't feel right? It sucks because stuff like The Incredibles, Monsters Inc, Toy Story 1-3...those are just so drat amazing. Is it fair to compare Turning Red to those? edit: removed a term I didn't know was racist. And yeah I get why she was the way she was (similar to Encanto how everything ties back to what past generations did). Monsters U I really liked, but mostly for the Randall parts. Inside Out was well done, but I would have loved if more of the emotion panels from the other characters were shown. Good Dinosaur and Luca had the Pixar Promise but were aimed at, what, preschoolers? Cowslips Warren has a new favorite as of 04:23 on Mar 14, 2022 |

More recent Pixar has been hit or miss. Toy Story 4 and Monsters U are pretty great. Good Dinosaur is shockingly bad.

The existence of Yes Man (close second: the internship) irritates me. I want to say they just aren't good movies but that is giving them too much credit. They aren't even movies. At least the internship has the "it's just an ad" thing going for it. "Yes Man" is just hot garbage that feels like an ad.

The Internship is completely forgettable even by the standards of forgotten comedies. Yes Man is such a mish-mash of terrible comedy movie ideas that it's kind of amusing. But also impossible to sit through. Also both somehow feature Harry Potter as a major plot beat...
