Hey folks, I’m looking to pre batch a bottle of Long Island iced tea for an upcoming boys’ weekend. Our first one of these weekends was in 1988, and we’ve met every year since then. When we started, we were high school idiots, and had the refined palate of a bag of hammers. We used to “batch” by dumping 1l bottles of cheap clear booze into a cooler with bar lemon mix and several litres of coke. The last of it had to be drank by pouring straight from the cooler into the newest person’s mouth.

I thought it would be funny to bring a bottle of long island up with me this year, but I’m pretty sure neither me nor anyone else there wants to drink the same grog we used to drink. Apart from better spirits and fresh lemon, does anyone have any interesting upgrades?

Any thoughts about using an amaro and club soda as the coke?

Cheers in advance

Hey folks, looking for advice for my difficult ear holes. OG AirPods have never come close to fitting, as they would just fall out. I had some AirPods Pros for a few years, and they sort of stayed in with some foam backing on the tips, but would often fall out when leaning over or lying down. I gave those to my kid, and went with some over the ear headphones, but now I’m missing the compactness of buds. Anyone here who also has difficulty finding buds that stay in, but found something that works?

As far as features, I was pretty fine with the sound and anc of my pros. They are mostly for the gym, as I prefer to listen through a full stereo system at home.

Hey folks, we’ll be in mtl in a few days, staying downtown ish but will spend most of our time in the mile end/le plateau/little Italy, and looking for some recommendations. I’m. Kem Coba guy, but my wife wants a good sundae or banana split. Any thoughts on that? Also, we’re thinking about checking out a tiki bar. Are you team snowbird or team Le Mal Necessaire?

Thanks so much

Hey folks, I have several years worth of used vegetable oil I was going to take to the hazardous waste depot, but thought I would check to see if anyone here knows of people who have done diesel conversions who may be looking for some oil? If there’s nothing around, it’s off the the depot I go.
Cheers

Hey folks, this is my 4th year growing; first year in the ground. First year was disaster indoors, second year was better outside in pots, and last year was a huge success with about 3/4 of a kilo after curing. I have tons to learn about nutrition and trimming, so here are a few questions:

Nutrition- do you start feeding when the plant tells you it needs something and then continue a feeding cycle from there, or do you always assume it’s needy and try to anticipate. The soils it’s in is pretty acidic, so I dug up and neutralized the soil around it, and will continue to add amendments to help keep if neutral

Trimming- is see some pretty elaborate trimming and support techniques from you guys. When do you start trimming? This little guy looks quite bushy, but what’s a good time start trimming?

Cheers in advance for any assistance

We want some great soft serve. Who’s got the best in town?

Cheers!

Anyone have experience with their house branded stones? They seem to be reasonably priced, but I’m not sure how they compare to some of the better known bigger brands. Looking to upgrade my old Lee valley tools stone (probably rebranded king) to a decent 1000

Cheers

Hey folks, the last discussion of Turkish food is about a year old, so I thought I’d ask for more recent recommendations. What are your go to spots?

Cheers
