  • I think i ahould preface the following because it sounds more neutral than I meant it to. TBC I condone neither of these positions, nor do I mean this to be argumentative with your possition, but rather collaborative:

    I suspect the objection is to the calling out of / reminder that destruction of water facilities as a war crime, which seems to be something both sides have done/ been threatening in the Iran war, as well as the call out to allow UN/ other humanitarian aid groups unfettered access in warzones. Which seems like it conflicts with Israel’s contentions with UNRWA.










  • Try a smoother shake or a stir if you want to avoid a foam.

    I also used to do a demarara gum syrup for a blinker cocktail I was making a raspberry simple syrup in this case, but it still works without- and should work with agave (just heat it up stir some of the gum Arabic powder in, then let cool)

    I was doing it as a stirred highball anyway, (stir all but the soda thouroughly, add the soda, and give 3 more slow turns of the spoon to incorporate but minimize decarbonation) but when incorporated, the gum syrup gave the drink a silky feel, and kept the fruit flavors present on the tongue just a little longer, so they outlasted the bourbon.


  • As a kid I was once driving back with my dad from a specialty lumber yard trip, where hed gone to pick up a ~1.5 ton, 40’ teak beam, with about 10’ hanging off the back, down low. Wed just gotten south of the city, and trafic was finally easing up, when he finally saw chance to get out of the middle lane, and went to take it.

    So he threw on his right turn signal, and the guy in that lane immediately started accelerating to close the gap.
    My dad just went for the switch anyway, Forcing the guy to drive off the road into the grass median ditch of lose his windshield to a massive piece of wood.

    All he said was “a turn signal is a signal of intent, not a request for permission.” And we kept driving.
