No if you combine bitters, Scotch, and vermouth you have a Rob Roy because changing the primary component makes a new drink.
- Comment on James Bond is responsible for many wasted vodka martinis 1 day ago:
Aeration is a known factor in cocktails, it also requires some kind of protein or structure in the liquid to hold onto air for more than a few moments.
Which is all you need to change some components like those found in fresh citrus oils.
Slurping a bit as you sip will impact the taste more than shake/stir (assuming equal dilution, temperature, and clarity)
Shake is almost certainly creating more dilution though. You can’t handwave that away though it is unrelated to “bruising”
The other factor bruise-truthers trot out is Volatile Organic Compounds and the “top notes” evaporating out or oxidizing and I’m sure that would happen if you left a neat glass out on the counter for half an hour,
Im fairly positive that is why we can smell things and I believe your assertion that leaving a glass of gin out for 30 minutes with a much greater exposed surface area will lose taste faster than innthe bottle
- Comment on James Bond is responsible for many wasted vodka martinis 1 day ago:
It is, but it’s more that forceful oxygenation impairs the perception of certain olfactory compounds changing your impression of the drink. Saying it “bruises” the gun is just easier
- Comment on James Bond is responsible for many wasted vodka martinis 1 day ago:
Your preference for the demisec is almost certainly related to your cup preference. I did a tasting if box wines 20 years ago. what we realized was the winner was always what was in the Bordeaux glass vs the burgundy because it concentrated the scents more.

If I make a Manhattan with Scotch did I make a Manhattan or did I make a different drink?
- Comment on James Bond is responsible for many wasted vodka martinis 1 day ago:
Martinis do not involve tequila. That would be a different drink. When you change the single largest ingredient by volume you have a new drink
- Comment on James Bond is responsible for many wasted vodka martinis 1 day ago:
As someone with thirty years at some of the top retailers in the wine business I will eternally disagree with this take. Most great champagnes are brut.
- Comment on James Bond is responsible for many wasted vodka martinis 1 day ago:
Who uses sweet vermouth in a martini? That’s a different drink.
Martinis are gin or vodka and extra dry vermouth.
- Comment on James Bond is responsible for many wasted vodka martinis 1 day ago:
It “bruises” the gin as well.

Do you have any argument as to why this matters, in any way, at all?
the majority of the population doesn’t identify this as being nazism. If you are looking to get more people backing your cause you cannot alienate them by appearing to be reactionary or uneducated.

From my reply to another
"Ok? How does that change my statement that they are a different kind of fascist? Keep in mind my point is entirely focused on the ideology part of the political ideology whereas you are talking about a salute. How does an arm motion change the policy goals which aren’t the same as what Nazis support? What policy goal can you derive from an arm motion to begin with?
They are still evil they are just a different kind of evil. Not all fascists are nazis. The fact that one guy did a nazi salute twice doesn’t change project 2025 into something that Nazis would support.

The Nazis were fascists that looked to create a 1000 year reich and believed the destiny was to birth the master race. Trump et al are not doing this which means they are a different kind of fascist than Nazis. That doesn’t make it better much like being shot with a .308 instead of a .44 caliber round isn’t “better” it just makes it a different kind of harm.

The versions of Christianity that were too stuffy for Europe founded America. “The Pilgrims” that the US national story is built around were Congregationalists whose version of protestantism was so intense that they were forced out.

If that was true then why did you completely misstate what the movie was about? Cruise does not become a samurai at any point.

In 2003? What are you talking about? The only thing we weren’t talking about by then was trans-rights
- Comment on Ubi, it's $70 and people are vary of your mile wide puddles that drop 75% in price after half a year 1 week ago:
The only thing I can think of is The Last Samurai is a 20 year old movie and that somehow means not bringing up this historic fictional movie = you’re okay about a white dude becoming a samurai but not okay about a black dude becoming a samurai.
You should watch the movie. Cruise’s character does not become a samurai. He spends time with the last samurai.
- Comment on how tf do you warm up plates? 1 week ago:
There are actual devices that house dozens of plates at a time and keep them warm. They are called…plate warmers.
- Comment on how tf do you warm up plates? 1 week ago:
Restaurants either are giving you plates straight out if the dishwasher or they have a plate warmer. Professional plate warmers will warm a few dozen plates at a time and cost $1k USD. You can get crappy versions for the home for like $50.
- Comment on My sister’s AMAB friend likes to look like a girl and even said she wanted to be a “Japanese woman”, why would conservatives think using she/her pronouns for her is forcing an agenda? 1 week ago:
Once someone has let you know how they prefer to be referred to then you are just being rude if you choose to do otherwise. No one is forcing you to do anything but when you choose to be impolite shouldnot expect to be praised for that choice.
- Comment on My sister’s AMAB friend likes to look like a girl and even said she wanted to be a “Japanese woman”, why would conservatives think using she/her pronouns for her is forcing an agenda? 1 week ago:
There really isn’t a difference though. Calling her a him isn’t less offensive than calling Eddie Mark.

- Comment on My sister’s AMAB friend likes to look like a girl and even said she wanted to be a “Japanese woman”, why would conservatives think using she/her pronouns for her is forcing an agenda? 1 week ago:
I have a friend named Mark that goes by Eddie. If you call Eddie “Mark” he will get offended because while “Mark” is Eddie’s given name it isn’t how he sees himself. Eddie prefers a different name.
Im not sure what the difference between my buddy Eddie and the situation you are talking about as it seems to be the issue is whether you should call people by their preferred name or not.

For the speaker mike johnson: he’s a gay convert, big proponent of the conversion therapy so lots to unpack there. even lives with a reverend while married to a woman. to simplify it : He’s against the ‘woke mind’ because he has a lot of self hate. He’s against himself. Likely why he drinks so much as well and does wreckless shit : nbcnews.com/…/speaker-mike-johnson-chief-staff-ar… - this person is self destructing.
You better have actual proof of Mile Johnson being gay otherwise this us the most homophobic thing I have seen in months.
The idea that people who hate gay people just closeted is at odds with the simple fact that straight people vastly outnumber non-straight peoples. The fact is most people who hate gay people are just hateful people.
When you suggest that these homophobes are actually self loathing homosexuals you shift the onus of dealing with homophobia from the straight communities that are homophobic on to the victims of homophobia. That’s not cool.

The counterculture was very small. Nixon’s approval ratings were high throughout the 1960s and only take a dive when we find out about Watergate. The fact is America was never particularly left leaning.
