Okay, dammit, that Liber and Co. makes like five syrups I gotta go buy. Especially the Caramelized Fig Syrup.

Did you make the orgeat, or buy it? Orgeat and falernum are two ingredients that I have not yet tried to incorporate into my mixology.
Most recently I picked up a bottle of Amaro Nonino and made some Paper Planes. Equal parts bourbon, Aperol, Amaro Nonino, and lemon juice. Very nice.

It's a non-alcoholic syrup flavored predominantly with almonds, often with rose water or orange flower water. I just learned that it's pronounced "ohr-zsa" as in Zsa Zsa Gabor, and the "t" is silent. Huh. Anyway, it's used in a few famous cocktails, most notably the Mai Tai and the Japanese Cocktail.

Ah yes a Koch founded think tank. Surely they will steer us in the right direction.
You should read this one first, so that you could actually recognize the fallacies in what you just said.

I know people passionately love the stuff, but I've never liked the taste of Sriracha. It just doesn't taste good to me. I used to be into hot sauce a lot more when I was younger, but as my digestive system has aged, I don't do the super-spicy stuff so much any more. These days my hot sauce of choic...

For more on this subject, a new book from Cato directly addresses the misconceptions about inflation, among other topics related to prices.

Also, events other than increasing the money supply cause inflation. Like the supply chain disruptions due to the pandemic and the Saudi's deciding to cut oil production. There's no question that food manufacturers have raised prices to increase profits. No, those events cause price increases, not ...

"Inflation is the rate of increase in prices over a given period of time." Right, individual price increases is not 'inflation", but higher prices is like literally the definition of inflation. You don't get to just ignore why the price level is rising. I'm not. Businesses making price decisions on...

Everyone wants the highest price for their goods and services. Would you turn down an offered raise because you don't want to be "greedy"? Would you sell your house for less than the market value because because you don't want to be "greedy"? Of course not. Corporations certainly raise prices, and o...

A reminder: corporations do not cause inflation. Government monetary policy causes inflation, specifically the creation of new money from thin air. As Milton Friedman said, "Inflation is always and everywhere a monetary phenomenon, in the sense that it is and can be produced only by a more rapid inc...

I also agree with DG that it seems crazy that a country that's trying to have its own space program, to develop nuclear power (or maybe nuclear weapons), is building all sorts of advanced drone weapons (that it's selling to Russia), is trying to develop domestic fighter jets, etc. is flying its VIPs...

I would imagine there might have been a lot of "get-there-itis" pressure when it's the president of the country in the back of the aircraft. If so, the same sort of situation was a factor in the 2010 Smolensk air disaster that killed the president of Poland.

TIL that the Japanese have a word that means "old person smell": kareishū (加齢臭). The kanji translate as something along the lines of "aging smelly."

Got out my trenching shovel to clean out the tiny ditch I have on the uphill side of my property that channels rain water out to the street instead of turning my upper yard into a swamp. Toward the back of my house, there's a part where the hill up to my neighbor becomes too steep to mow, so it's ov...

If Butker were some douchebag who treated women like Kleenex and had five kids with five different women, no one would blink an eye. Ain't no petition calling for Butker's former teammate Tyreek Hill to be fired even though Hill has 11 kids with five different women.

Eh, I'm just sticking with Marcus for now. I had a previous HYSA close on me, which was a PITA, and to me it's not worth the aggravation of constantly moving money around to chase a few extra points of interest.

I imagine they are probably smelling the cat food and bird-food peanut/suet cakes that I have in storage bins in the basement. Alas for the mice, those bins are sealed (but not entirely air tight to block smells), and the only cat food is what is out in the dispensers, and when the mice come in and ...
