Her voice got more interesting into the song. That's some growl to grow on.

I once avoided an argument in social media comments about whether or not music was just math. Just math? Come on, it's disservice to both math and music to set them at odds.

I'm drinking Jameson.

There is some stuff. Just a passing mood. It will pass.

I drunk a lot of Jameson and Jack last night. Now I'm being physically sick.

And thats how discipline is built! Step by step. You will know next time. I know of course too. I can ask the white little line in my left ring finger. It carries the answer to what happens when you touch hot things that others ask you not to when a toddler.

Thats my first time drinking in about 7 year.

Maybe I could turn this into a hobby.

Time is on my side...yes it is...you'll com'...you'll com' running back to me...time time time is on my side...yes it is.

Good New Year's Eve cocktails? Or do you just suck down a bottle of rotgut whiskey like a poor Irishman?

SMP'ers need to know.

That thread is locked, but I'll write one more response here anyway, since the locking isn't related to our little conversation.

I would argue that "the past" is not just a possible world. It has a unique ontological status in relation to the actual world. One can imagine a possible world in which Clinton won the 2016 election, but that does not mean the proposition "in the past Clinton won the 2016 election" is true, because "in the past" references one very particular world, namely this one. The past is not hypothetical, although our knowledge of it may be incomplete. A statement that something necessarily happened in the past is a statement that bears on the existence of things in this world, not just any possible world, and that's why statements about the past implicitly entail the reality of the past.

" (in the past Clinton won the 2016 election) is true " means the set of all worlds in which Clinton did win in the past. If we wish to live in a world where Clinton did win then it's a simple matter of moving to one of the worlds in which she did win.

Of course, those who care about using the correct grammar when discussing this need to use the Future Semi-Conditionally Modified Subinverted Plagal Past Subjunctive Intentional.

Negroni is agreat cocktail. As an alternative to brexit, this year we had a very heated debate about whether these should be drunk before, after or alongside the beer with whisky chasers.

Merry crimble to all.

Tricky Dicky Screw Drivers. The greatest cocktail of all time. I'll buy a round for the whole thread as long as ya'll keep conversating without drawing any attention to yourselves.

You will be happy to know that I have 1 lb. of Szechuan pepper.

That is enough to flavor a cup of chili oil, right?

Not sure but get yourself a few pounds of pork and you can make my favourite vegetarian* dish of Sichuan Cabbage

*also good for vegans

Does anybody here listen to LBC radio?

I remember listening to Tommy Boyd on LBC nearly 40 years ago.

Lbc is leading Britain's conversation. It's a political talk show. Brexit has been on for months. James O'Brien is a condescending smug gimp.

I went with dumplings.

I like Turkey sandwiches.

I fear if I listened to it then I'd have to gouge my ears out.

There's a brexit thread in the Politics forum if you must.

SMP's official New Year cocktail (with Chez's Benediction):

in-search-best-negroni-cocktail-recipe/

From above link:

The top three vote-getters stayed within classical lines, and all of them—the two bartenders’ flexibility concerning Campari notwithstanding—contained the famous red bitter liqueur from Milan.

Best-liked was the now-famous Negroni served at Dante, the aperitivo bar in Greenwich Village. Conceived by owner Naren Young, it contained one ounce of Bombay Sapphire, a three-quarter ounce of Martini & Rossi rosso vermouth and a three-quarter ounce of Campari. “That’s the most archetypal,” said deBary. “Classic.”

Just a hair’s breadth behind Young’s drink was Frizell’s own version, which was made of one-and-one-quarter ounces of Beefeater gin, one ounce of Carpano Antica Formula vermouth and a three-quarter ounce of Campari. “You get the Campari bitterness without the Campari sweetness,” PUNCH’s Editor in Chief, Talia Baiocchi.

Third in the rankings was a recipe from JP Fetherston of the Columbia Room in Washington, D.C. Like the above two, Fetherston used more gin than the other two components, calling on one-and-one-quarter ounces of Fords gin, one ounce of Cocchi Vermouth di Torino and one ounce of Campari.

I make my own recipes.

Doesn't always work but drinking helps with achieving the sleep state.
