Gin is the original formulation. The cognac version is either called a "French 75 with cognac", or a "French 125".

I can relieve cramping in my feet by cracking my toes. Cracking is 100% useful in certain instances, and I have never seen evidence that it causes any harm.

My favorite was the congresscritter who held a press conference complaining that Google was returning obscene links to ordinary queries. He didn't understand that Google was rememb…

The comment you are replying to doesn't concern inflation and GDP. It simply states the system is ill-planned.

Serious question: how is it a felony? Distributing it might count as copyright piracy, but merely downloading public data?

That is a wild claim. Every single quarterly meeting my company has with customers begins with redistributing the notes from the previous meeting, and "to-do" points are regularly …

So some music does primarily encode communication. You have not proven that this is the primary function of all music, ergo the article is not proven wrong. In fact, I'd bet $100US…

In the US, nurses suffer some of the highest rates of job-related injuries. I know a male ex-nurse and a male ex-EMT, both of whom left the career due to injuries. That I know more…

Wait... so you are perfectly OK with hating someone on the basis of some random online poster telling you that you should, with no explanation? Wow.

Nonsense. No such provision appears anywhere in the US Bill of Rights.

Maybe different people vacation differently. Maybe that's OK.

You can't know for certain that modern AI-imbedded electronics aren't sentient and humidity-averse... YOU MONSTER!

Plex used to have that problem, but in the last few years it's gotten MUCH better at transcoding on-the-fly.

Certainly, and I didn't mean to imply otherwise. My point is: The printing of physical (fiat) bills are completely independent of increasing monetary supply. Always true in the US;…

I'd prefer to be exclusively on Jellyfin. It simply has more features that I use - specifically, collections are great non-hierarchical groupings. But periodically my system will r…

If your paycheck was shorted $75, you might care.
