White Russian (cocktail)

A White Russian is a cocktail made with vodka, coffee liqueur (e.g., Kahlúa or Tia Maria), and cream served with ice in an Old Fashioned glass. Often milk will be used as an alternative to cream. == History == The traditional cocktail known as a Black Russian, which first appeared in 1949, becomes a White Russian with the addition of cream. Neither drink is Russian in origin, but both are so named due to vodka being the primary ingredient. It is unclear which drink preceded the other. The Oxford English Dictionary refers to the first mention of the word "White Russian" in the sense of a cocktail...

I really hope that Cruz has lost a lot of rep as a result of the Republican primaries. This is a man who is so spineless that he robocalled for a candidate who both implied that his father was part of the Kennedy assassination and disparaged his wife.

I really, really hope that resonates with other Texans. If he can't stand up to Trump before Trump even became President, how on earth can Texans (who tend to lean libertarian and be anti-fed) expect him to stand up to Trump now that he's President?

So the NATO invoice that Trump handed Merkel was fake.

Well, "fake" as in not official from NATO.

Because that's not how NATO works.

Germany and the other NATO countries do not pay the US to fund NATO or whatever the f--k.

So a "NATO invoice" both doesn't make sense and is a major diplomatic offense.

Let's, for example, imagine a Bridge rainy day fund. For when Thompson discovers this site and decides to sue for whatever. We all contribute to this rainy day fund. Some of us more than others. If you find out that maybe I contribute a lot less than you think I should, you can rightfully complain about me not contributing in a way proportional to my income or whatever.

What doesn't make sense, however, is if you send me a bill for however much you think I should have paid over the past couple of years, payable to you.

No, Germany does not pay the US for NATO. That's not how this works, that's not how any of this works.

I'm not sure how I feel about Smashburger.

On the one hand, their patties are pretty much guaranteed to be well-done and they're crispy. On the other hand, they're crispy (which is an odd texture for a hamburger patty) and occasionally too wide for the bun.

Also, their Avocado Club uses actual properly big avocado slices rather than some kind of mashed avocado paste thing that I've seen in a lot of avocado burgers.

Fluttershy

So I saw Get Out this weekend, and holy shit that was a good movie.

Yuuki

It seems like their burgers are also a "pick up once" deal. The thinness of the patty means that putting it down and picking it back up could result in pieces falling off.

@Fluttershy How is it for people who aren't fans of the horror genre?

It's weird, I haven't found a horror movie that I like but I'd categorize Legion as psychological horror/thriller and I've been enjoying that.

StrixVaria

I don't really like slashers and I don't like movies that rely on jump scares, so for me horror movies are more about the atmosphere and suspense they deliver.

I don't know that there's any horror movie that actually ranks among my favorites, but I find something to like in movies that make an effort anyway.

I even like the really cheesy terrible Saw ripoff movies where like 10 people are trapped in some room together and get killed off one by one for reasons unknown.

They're all bad without exception, but they're great anyway.

MadMAxJr

Legion has been utterly strange. But after the 3rd episode the plot pieces begin to link up and I can finally follow the plot.

Plus I am totally on board with the man in the ice cubes personality.

MBraedley

@Yuuki The horror element has been fairly underplayed so far, IMHO. There hasn't been anything that's really scared me, but the suspense is still there.

Fluttershy

@Yuuki It's probably fine. It had maybe three jump scores. The rest was just unsettling tension more than actual horror.

MadMAxJr

I dunno, Audrey Plaza's little song and dance number was horror.

Fluttershy

5:55 PM

I'd definitely call it more of a psychological thriller.

StrixVaria

Horror isn't about being scared for me. That's why jump scares are dumb.

I should watch Oculus again.

MBraedley

@StrixVaria in most horror, the suspense is meant to induce anxiety in the viewer. I'm not really getting that with Legion.

StrixVaria

I haven't seen that. Since Netflix binging became a thing, I have trouble with shows on regular TV where I have to wait a week or more between episodes.

I also have trouble with keeping a schedule of watching at a set time every week.

MadMAxJr

I need to finish Black Mirror.

So Destiny 2 has been announced. Although I'm sure we all knew it was going to happen, it was a matter of when

@StrixVaria On the other side, maybe that means we can get Puerto Rico into the US.

@BlueBarren The game that really needs a 2.0 at this point is WoW. That engine is old and the recent xpac is kinda showing it.

BlueBarren

@Yuuki And I blame Destiny for Xbox 360 and PS3 for that

@Yuuki But the last two times Blizzard incremented a number in a game title the reception was lukewarm (StarCraft 2, Diablo 3).

BlueBarren

I guarantee 2 will only be on Xbox One and PS4

StrixVaria

No more sequels from now on.

and maybe PC if you're lucky

or wait we're talking about WoW

murgatroid99

@Yuuki I think it's just not worth it. The developer time that would be needed to basically rewrite all of that from scratch would be obscene.

I do hope that the increasing scale of the Big Bads in WoW means that we can get a cosmic reboot and WoW 2.0.

BlueBarren

They really have no need to make a "WoW 2" unless WoW dies off

Yuuki

Because right now, we're fighting a worlds-conquering trans-dimensional demonic army.

BlueBarren

and then also the thing about sequels as well

Yuuki

You really can't get bigger bads than the Void Lords.

MadMAxJr

WoW2 will come with a token to have already completed the game.

So I'm thinking that the Void Lord xpac will result in some kind of giant cosmic reset/threshold and WoW 2.0 will start over small.

WoW2 will bring about what you've always wanted. Playable Murlocs. In fact, they are the only race now, due to the abundant catalcysms, god strikes, cracking of the planet, and divine intervention on Azeroth in the past.

BlueBarren

@MadMAxJr now that's a WoW I would play

MadMAxJr

I'm surprised Azeroth isn't a barren husk, populated only by trash mobs.

Yuuki

@MadMAxJr Doesn't the playerbase fit the definition of "trash" (speaking as a WoW player)?
