And that's the point. When you take shots, you are not taking them because of taste. You need a shot of alcohol, fast and taste is there to either mask the alcohol or make it easier to swallow. We taste less when it's chilled. Have you tried to bounce two fingers worth of any alcohol when it's luke warm? I do agree that it's a waste to use good whiskey like single malts (not all of them are good) but hey, if you can afford it, why not? No one should have to sink to bourbon, blended whiskeys are for that use (and are often smoother too, since they are blended)..

When it's time to enjoy the taste, then small sips and around that magical 15C (it gets warmer all the time) it's about aroma and how to maximize what is in the liquid. I would actually prefer the good stuff to be just under 40% alcohol, 35-38% would be better, brandy/cognac can be stronger than whiskey. Whiskey stones are quite neat, specially if the shot is brandy (which i like more and more each year, starting to pass whiskey, lets say brandy is often smoother without it bankrupting you)..

@newtboy, this is actually running on a fairly low-spec pc (around the same as an xbone or ps4).

But yeah, this is similar to the deus ex video I posted a while back,

One small area with great attention paid to lighting and detail with no mechanics or animation.

@jmd, agreed the trees weren't great, but not all games are about open worlds and dynamic events. Look at COD. Very linear, incredibly scripted.

The fundamental problem with AAA games is the cost to create content. I think we're going to ultimately see some blend of procedural and hand created content as the way forward, where the designers build a layout for gameplay and a procedural engine fleshes out the visual details.

He's just trying to blend in.

She forgot about wearing cotton/poly blends. People who do are definitely going to hell, no exceptions.

*promote a nice sativa blend

Great Captain Morgan commercial, too! I'd change it up a bit though....make it truthier

"Drink responsibly. Drink a real rum, not some nasty grab-barrel of blended swill like Captain Morgans!"

(a message from someone who knows how a decent rum should treat yer pallet and yer gut.)

Someone at work brought these chocolate chip cookies in today. I asked her to email me the recipe since they were really good. So here you go...

Chocolate Chip Cookies
(makes 6 dozen cookies)

4 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking soda
2 teaspoons baking powder
2 cups butter, softened
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 cups packed brown sugar
1/2 cup white sugar
2 (3.4 ounce) packages instant vanilla pudding mix
4 eggs
2 tablespoons vanilla extract
4 cups semisweet chocolate chips
2 cups chopped walnuts (optional)

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Sift together the flour, baking soda, baking powder and salt, then set aside.

2. In a large bowl, cream together the butter, brown sugar, and white sugar. Beat in the instant pudding mix powder until blended. Stir in the eggs and vanilla. Blend in the flour mixture. Finally, stir in the chocolate chips and nuts. Drop cookies by rounded spoonfuls onto ungreased cookie sheets covered in parchment paper. Refrigerate dough between batches so the dough doesn't become too soft before baking.

3. Bake for approximately 10 to 12 minutes in the preheated oven. Could be more or less depending on your oven. Edges should be golden brown.

After all that, he gets a glass of cheap blended whisky? No no no.

Invented one by accident last week-I hate most rum, most hard alcohol really, and a friend brought over a bottle of the nastiest blended rum I have ever tasted, Kraken (great bottle, horrible rum). Here's the recipe:

1-2 oz Nasty, un-sippable Rum
2 oz Coco-Loco (had some in the fridge from the last time someone made a Daiquiri here
4 oz fresh-squeezed Ruby Red Grapefruit juice

Mix rum and Coco Loco together, dissolving the gooey loco with rum into a solution
Add ice and grapefruit juice, stir

VERY drinkable and refreshing,
The Ruby Loco

A) Not here in Ozland. Certainly remember seeing it on nutritional information but here's from their site:

https://mcdonalds.com.au/maccas-food/whats-in-it

"85% less trans fat than our previous blend." Certainly not none though

B) Interesting how in the link it talks about mold growth being dependant on it breaking out before loss of moisture in the first few days. The rate it decomposes is still hardly normal though. Especially the fries (mostly because of the sodium content):

ORRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR

We can make "Will it Blend" videos with MUCH BIGGER OBJECTS!

(like people)

I think the real story is that people seem to be xenophilic...which implies that eventually, we'll end up with a blending of all races. That oughta put an end to racism, one way or another.
