@TildalWave Yup, one of the big things here in the States (at least in the South) is Sweet Tea flavored vodka. Hopefully it hasn't made it out of the States, because it's pretty terrible. It's alcohol for people who want to get drunk, rather than enjoy what they're drinking. That's what most flavored vodkas seems to be....I haven't had Finlandia, but sounds like it's much the same.

TildalWave

which is kinda funny because their normal vodka is one of the driest, also one of my favs (if I really have to LOL)

Rory Alsop

So far only one hangover. And it was my stag do, so I'll accept that one :-)

At some point I'll break, I'm sure...

Xander

@RoryAlsop I'm sorry...Are you saying you've only had one hangover in your entire life!? If so, I salute you sir.

TildalWave

@RoryAlsop you seem to mix your drinks with soft ones (or drink next to) so you should be fine ... it's the alcohol dehydration that gets you the hangover

Kisunminttu

Koskenkorva blueberry and vanilla are pretty nice :) don't think they're drank as shots, though, more like an added flavor to a drink...

Xander

00:02

@RoryAlsop I haven't had many, but I've certainly had more than one.

Kisunminttu

No more hangover dehydration!

TildalWave

this one looks interesting, is this flavored or distilled with lingonberries?

Xander

@Kisunminttu I've seen that before! It's....Interesting.

David Freitag

I have found that eating plenty of salt and drinking lots before any amount of drinking and there is no hangover.

But then again I've never been near alcohol poisoned levels of drunk.

Kisunminttu

@TildalWave I do believe it's a flavored vodka

Never tasted that one... I like lingonberry and vodka isn't on my hate list but lingonberry flavored vodka? Meh.

TildalWave

00:09

Funny I always thought that lingonberries and cranberries are the same thing. That would explain why they don't really taste the same, tho similar. I thought that's just the industry taste thing, we only have lingonberries here (I think) which I like a lot more.

@Kisunminttu Flavored definitely meh ... distilled, now that's a real thing then. Probably it would also be expensive.

Kisunminttu

@TildalWave Lingonberries work great with pork and moo moo meat, especially stews! Cranberries work best with chicken and turkey dishes IMO

Oh, and I mean on the side, either fresh or as a jam. Not in the stew...

TildalWave

I never had fresh cranberries, only lingonberries. So I don't really know.

Xander

@Kisunminttu When you say "moo moo meat" do you mean beef? Or moose? I suspect beef, but just want to clarify.

TildalWave

Lingonberries ... yum

Kisunminttu

@Xander Beef :D I call it moo moo meat because I can never remember the word "beef". Not even in Finnish. I call it cow meat.

Xander

00:13

@Kisunminttu Hey, works for me. :-)

TildalWave

BTW they go great with venison

Kisunminttu

Moose meat would be cracked windshield meat...

Xander

@Kisunminttu LOL. Yikes. I totaled my first car on a lowly deer. I don't want to think what a moose would have done to it.

Kisunminttu

@Xander Soooo many moose-related accidents in Finland every year :(

There was an incident involving 3 moose and a train, this is the result static.iltalehti.fi/uutiset/veturietu1602JOB_503_uu.jpg

Apparently it's not at all uncommon that moose and reindeer get in the way of trains. Usually the train keeps on choo-chooing.

TildalWave

@Kisunminttu Jesus if they're gonna run over wildlife surely there's many better colors to paint the train with than white and green?

Kisunminttu

00:20

@TildalWave Well we do have older ones that are blue...

TildalWave

sometimes I do wonder what they're thinking when they're deciding how to paint such stuff

Rory Alsop

@Xander - I do tend to avoid beer after the first pint, and mostly drink cocktails. Ideally a different one every time. It seems to work well

TildalWave

Right, gents, here we have a few new trains and we need to paint them. They're faster than the old ones. So let's paint them in colors of the environment so nobody sees them coming, shall we?

Rory Alsop

It's my Orkney upbringing

Arperum

@TildalWave Our old trains are red, good for hiding the blood of things they hit.

Rory Alsop

00:25

I may just be drunk, but I'm seeing @TildalWave's words as song lyrics...

Kisunminttu

@TildalWave Better yet, let's paint them to match the seasons!

TildalWave

@Arperum also good to spot them from miles away in any weather

which is exactly how they should look like

Kisunminttu

@RoryAlsop What're your fave cocktails?

TildalWave

not bloody blend with the environment

Kisunminttu

@TildalWave camo ftw

TildalWave

00:27

or worse ... those silver trains that you can't even make out if they're moving towards you or away from you as soon as the sun shines at a bit lower angle

Rory Alsop

@Kisunminttu - ahh, I'm not really into choosing one or two. I like a drink pathway through the evening...

@TildalWave - we don't get them here

Arperum

@TildalWave Especially when you get all kinds of fancy crashes, such as train running into other train. Or train flying of track in a trainstation and going through the wall. (The first one was semi-recent and I was in a third train the two others trains fell on after crashing.

Rory Alsop

Our trains go at under 30mph and stop for a misplaced leaf

Or the ones up north that have some stops only if you ask the conductor.

There is a great request stop in the middle of nowhere that was in the film Trainspotting

Arperum

The image of the one newer train being mostly wrapped inside out on the other older train is still super fresh, even years later.

TildalWave

@RoryAlsop Reminds me of my train tour through Austria ... it went 10 km/h because of 5 cm of new snow and a chance of avalanches. You can imagine how much sense it makes to go even slower then next to 4 km or higher mountains LOL

Rory Alsop

it might be cheaper to fly anyway

@DavidFreitag Wanna post an answer here? space.stackexchange.com/questions/8208/…

You're not reading it right. You need to get really really drunk first and spend half an hour focusing on its letters. Then it gets really deep.

@RoryAlsop sounds even worse on laptop speakers

Rory Alsop

Oh. I didn't know if it was a genre you liked.

I don't have enough knowledge in that area to know if that sound style is deliberate

Flyk

Rоry McCune

@Flyk more tonight?

Flyk

@RoryAlsop genres, psh :P

Meh 4 votes to migrate to SF, I voted as too broad and it gets migrated. Shouldn't migrations be done automagically only when all of the reviewers agree it's migrate-able to a specific target, and rather flag for mod review if we don't? (instead of obeying the majority vote)

Flyk

majority ruling

I demand the right of veto :)

Actually, it's funny that the only ones that can veto on SE are also the ones with nukes. I wonder where they got that model from :D

Flyk

right, since sleep doesn't work I'm going sight seeing

TildalWave

You're anywhere interesting?

Terry Chia

@TildalWave That would be an opsec breach.

TildalWave

@TerryChia your face is an opsec breach

sorry, I must be missing @Simon

Rоry McCune

@TildalWave first time for everything I guess

inb4 @Simon 's first line next time he's here is "pls all"

Terry Chia

12:54

@TildalWave If you know what I look like it's clearly an opsec breach.

@TerryChia Really? I thought you looked just fine ... for a bearded lady.

Rоry McCune

@TerryChia your picture is on your linkedin profile....

Terry Chia

@TildalWave You have me confused with @Iszi.

Rоry McCune

well a picture presumably intended to be thought of as you is on your linkedin profile

Terry Chia

@RоryMcCune Exactly.

Rоry McCune

12:56

@TerryChia and your e-mail address includes a year (presumably of birth)

Terry Chia

@RоryMcCune That would be a smart guess.

Rоry McCune

so doesn't sound prima facie that you're really going for spy levels of OpSec

Terry Chia

@RоryMcCune Unless it's just another level of indirection.

TildalWave

@RоryMcCune your face is prima facie

Rоry McCune

@TildalWave yeah he's not likely to know what latin is I guess

TildalWave

@RоryMcCune Latin is all Greek to @Simon

Rоry McCune

@TildalWave and greeks all slovakian

13:13

@TildalWave Someone should draw a graph of that

English -> Greek -> Chinese -> Egyptian (Heiroglyphics)

etc

CodesInChaos

@TildalWave What annoys me most is that it it includes your name is the list, even if you voted for something else.

TildalWave

@ManishEarth Graph everything!

@CodesInChaos Didn't it used to display in the list of the close reason only names that agreed on the one that's displayed?

CodesInChaos

@TildalWave It does so for the precise reason among off-topic votes. But not for the broader close reason.

and even that discrimination among off-topic votes is a pretty new feature

TildalWave

Ah gotcha. Yes, it is a bit annoying. I'd sometimes even add a FWIW comment that I voted to close for some other reason than listed

It would also be nice to be able to change your close reason vote during reopen reviews. They're often closed for a reason that's later addressed but create or don't solve another.

Anyway, auto migrate should be more sensitive. If there's other issues with posts then don't migrate. They're even less likely to be resolved on a site that OP might not even have an account yet.

And cross-posts should be auto flagged. It shouldn't be too difficult to check OP's past activity on other SE sites and look for same titles or body texts.

But just flagged, because sometimes there is a point in cross-posting, tho rarely.

Rory Alsop

13:49

@Flyk not sure that would fit your OpSec model

@Ror I book myself into hotels under the name sailor twist

@TildalWave We like to show tourists what trains looked like in Victorian Britain (circa 1890).

Although there are unconfirmed rumours the trains actually ran on time back then.

You clearly had much longer days

since the sun never set on the empire.

and yeah, definately cheaper to fly or bus, even if I do love the surviving oldschool railway stations

@JourneymanGeek I'm convinced the entire motivation for conquering lots of places was to have a plentiful supply of places the navy could go which had much better weather.
