Progressive-art-vision A large part of Alex Grey's art is DMT induced and psylisobin induced images. Maynard writes of this in TOOL tunes. One of which is Rosetta Stoned... Bolded and underlined... Look at 10,000 days. The entire artwork selection is based on DMT trips.

And fucking on straight meth is not gonna happen.

DMT and porn fueled thermal images of Russell the one eyed love muscle. Better you than me. I actually heard of people using it during sex. I can't even stand up, much less fuck... Truth be told, I did manage to walk once. I felt like I was bouncing up and down like I was in a car with no shocks in super slow motion. Every step was an action and reaction. The room was bobbing like I was on open seas. It was a difficult proposition. I imagine fucking would be cool, but I couldn't even begin to imagine getting a hard on like that. Sounds like the recipe could use some tweeking. add some amphetamines to the cocktail perhaps? It is too quick. It all honestly happens within 15 minutes. You breathe the hit in, and before you exhale you are seeing God.

I've known mike longer. I'm kinda shy.

But honestly, you see thermal images. The colors look exactly like that, now that you mention it. Not just close, but exactly! Remember how I described colors? Lots of orange, reds, and blues! There were whites too. No shit, this is the stuff you see. Same colors, same images.

Good to see you starting to join the darkside, bro... Fuck that bullshit joint! Let's smoke some DMT!

I'm already drunk... time for those PMs! Your cockblock app has little likelihood of working against my massive manmilk maker, my friend!

Beat me to it...

No, just the typical in bar quick mix. I may grab some Knob Creek in the next couple days to perfect my mixes, so I'll try any suggested bourbon/whiskey blends. I grabbed up some DMT and may want to play with some afterburner mixes... I do love that shit. I am also planning on a Manhattan if you have a preference.

so still run it 1/1 on the Agave/orange bitters?

You need to make a simple syrup. It's so easy and the benefit of actually dissolving into the drink My Old fashioned consist of the following: A few shakes of bitters (I've never felt like I've overpowered it) Maraschino Cherry Slice of Orange (or sub orange liquor in a pinch) Ice Fill most of the rest of glass with bourbon One more Cherry Spash of Club Soda (I feel like carbonation enhances the flavor) Slice of Orange for garnish I use the ice to muddle the first ingredients and then stir a little after the club soda. Obviously our recipes are very different. I really like the way the fruit and club soda enhances the flavor. You are correct that great bourbon is not necessary. I pull out the Evan Williams Black Bourbon mostly for an old fashioned. the Bulleit 10 Year and Texas Bourbon are better enjoyed with a bit of ice. Glad I remembered you replied too Mike. I wanted to ask what you use as a syrup? Next, do you prefer orange bitters, or plain bitters? To me, plain did nothing, is why I ask. Why the cherry and orange, then another cherry and orange? Not trying to be a smartass, I am trying to understand the art form of mixing, as I am a rocks kind of dude... I am learning! I use 12Oz rocks glasses, so I may skinny that up a bit . I do like the flavor that big fragrence imparts, so I tend to use big glasses. Now on to club soda, as I do have questions about it. My concern is the bitterness that I taste with club soda. But I was wondering if the effervescence also added to the aroma. I can see how it will pull the flavor, via aroma, out of the drink, but is it really enough to overcome the bitterness that club soda imparts? Thanks. I know you like good beers and have a similar palate when it comes to stouts as I do... so your input is valuable to me.

Hmmm... I saw the Agave when I snagged the bitters but I was unsure. I also saw honey syrup, but that didn't hold my interest. I do like blue Agave tequilas, but I stopped as I didn't know what flavor it might impart. But I had considered mixing the Agave with the orange bitters, rather than using it on it's own. Please pardon my ignorance, as I am typically a rocks kind of dude, who does prefer a sour when "top shelf" at the bar isn't the shit I might like as a well in my house. Swill, is the phrase I will kike from you. SO mixing is not something I am familiar with. I can make a mean Margarita, but that and a little whiskey sour is really the limit of my knowledge, and neither is particularly important to me... I may try adding a Manhattan to me mixing repertoire. I did appreciate the orange flavor that the orange bitters did impart, as I am a sucker for orange. But I worry that the only reason that one might use Agave is to impart sweetness. Or is it a combo of the orange bitters and Agave? Sorry if this has already been answered, I am just snagging these replies one by one.

I pull out the Evan Williams Black Bourbon mostly for an old fashioned. the Bulleit 10 Year and Texas Bourbon are better enjoyed with a bit of ice. The only time I'd use raw sugar in a drink is when I muddle it. Then the crystals can help breakdown the fruit.When I tended bar I'd muddle the fruit for an old fashioned and then throw it away. If the drinker wants fruit add a fresh piece. If you don't feel like making a simple syrup then some Agave Nectar is already liquified and doesn't harden as bad as honey on ice. I personally prefer it's flavor profile to simple syrups, but 90% of the mixed drinks I make are Margaritas. Similar proportion to your Old Fashioned in the booze realm. 2/3 or bust. Quoted so I see this and remember to quiz you about this. But really quickly, the idea of sugar with the orange bitters is to muddle it, correct? What exactly does muddling do? I had just assumed it was making the bitters and sugar into a slurry. Apparently I am wrong, and I am at work so googleisn't time afforded right now... Just posing this question to you as a former beverage slinger. Good luck with constant rpm in a car and actually selling it. If you could force a user to do constant rpm in gas then the efficiency of that motor and emissions would shock you at how good it was. CVT transmissions... That is one reason they are in all true hybrids.

You guys misunderstand how the energy is produced most of the time in a hybrid. First, while they are dubbed "hybrid" I am going to be forced to eliminate GM's 3 phase belt driven SG hybrids, and Honda's current IMA system from the mix. While the IMA is effectively generating energy in the same way, for the most part, it is still not really a hybrid in the sense of the Toyota, Nissan, and now the German machines. First, ICE (internal combustion engine) power generation is a vastly lossy producer of energy. The figures we hear in class are anywhere from 70-80% of all energy is lost via heat/frictional, mechanical and chemical losses. So it doesn't make a lot of sense that any manufacturer would want to use this source as it's primary source of energy production via the hybrid machine. So how do we produce this energy? Regenerative braking. When the electric motor spins in one direction, it consumes energy. If you spin it in the opposite direction, it produces energy. Any time there is any form of braking, weather it be engine braking from just removing your foot from the accelerator to typical light foot braking to panic stops, the vehicle reverses the planetarys in the MG to produce energy at varying levels. This is not always a very effective form of energy production, however, and this is why we see better economy around town than on the road. In town there is constant energy production, obviously, as we constantly stop and start. This means the electric motor has plenty of stored energy available all the time and it receives a boost from the electric motor. While some hybrids do spend a fair amount of time on just the electric motor (Nissan's are surprisingly on all electric a lot, I say surprisingly because while they use the entire Toyota system, they do not use the same logic), we typically only see the electric motor being used as an alternative source of power, taking a load off of the ICE.

Don't act like you haven't seen them, Mike.

Get a pumpkin spice latte and do some selfies yet? :-) Thermal selfies... Duh!

Soooo, the sun is up and it is a beautiful, chilly day. I love autumn!

My point was don't forget why we were there in the first place. People like to bitch about the slow recovery just so they have a reason to bitch about Obama...but forget why we were even there in the first place. People have been talking about SSI going dry for decades. Certainly Obama is not the only cause there. Was't the solution either, but most definitely not the only cause. Quick google search I couldn't find a single reference to Obama endorsing federal min wage being raised to $12. I did see several articles about a REPUBLICAN proposing to raise California's min wage to $12, and some articles about Obama giving preferential treatment to federal contractors paying at least $10.10/hour. Another case of using made up statistics ?Also, in your first post you were absolutely talking present tense. When I pointed out that the raise you were complaining about wasn't Obama's fault, now you are complaining about a future event that hasn't actually occurred yet. Makes sense, when you can't defend your complaint, just change the subject. but they aren't free, right? Which means they cost the consumer more, right? You were complaining about the cost of cars, right?So those scanners you need to replace are completely independent of the complexity of the electronics system in the vehicle ? Because it would stand to reason that the computer systems in vehicles have become increasingly complex regardless of CAFE, and that the tools (scanner, as you specifically pointed out) necessary to interact with the ever more complex electrical/computer systems would likewise become more complex and expensive. I mean, if it wasn't for CAFE manufacturer's NEVER EVER would have even switched to computer controlled cars that even needed scanners, right? Damn government ! To be honest I couldn't give two shits about Obama. Admittedly I probably lean more democrat on issues, but I'm far from an Obama supporter. I just get tired of listening to people bitch about him about shit that is either made up or not really his fault. It's just the en vogue thing to do if your a right winger... So why are we there in the first place? We could go back to WWI when the national debt first occurred. A failure to recover from the economic crisis is not the fault of the previous administration. In fact, the previous admin had us in a much better place than the last couple years of the administration. What matter's is Obama's policies and the overall affect on the economy relative to the history of the US comparatively. I'm sorry I left out 1 word about SSID. But that does not account for the demolition of said social program over the past 6 years. Although, IMO this is a worthless program anyways. Nature has decided that natural selection is how a species continues to survive. As an atheist, agnostic, or whatever you are it shouldn't change the fact that the unable should not survive. IMO, your decision to adopt is really nothing more than a slap in the face to your belief or lack thereof. You are a walking case of irony. However, as a Christian, I believe that your adopted child did deserve the chance to live. You're welcome. But the reality is, that it is not society's responsibility to maintain those who are unwanted, to simply those who don't care to provide for themselves. So when you really think about it, you are a walking hypocrisy. I am certain you also collect government subsidies for your adopted child... Again, you're welcome. Those are my hard earned dollars that provide you with that money. I don't bitch, as your beautiful young lady deserves to live and I am willing to help her and others' who did not make the choices they are burdened with. My father didn't want me or my sister either, I am just lucky that my mother did not toss us aside. But she did not garner anything from the government except for some shitty government cheese 9which i LOVED)

He is a spook... His BIL (IIRC) owns Spookhaven, one of the nation's best haunts.

You do have a cute little butt... I'll sail my galley up yours any day, sweet cheeks.

It is, Mikey! Mike is an online buddy of mine for years. I hope everyone here is as accepting of him as they are of me. He is a good dude, with a unique sense of humor. He is also a fellow mod of one of the biggest car audio forums on the web not named SSA. But he is still a cock muncher!

Ryan, do you have the militia required to take the USA over? If your goals are the same as mine, I will gladly join your revolt, as I do have a lot of legal weaponry in my home. If not, I suggest you vote on the candidate in your area most likely to speak for you. Please, be aware that nobody will completely encompass your values. however, by not voting, you are essentially letting people you disagree with speak for you. Up until recently I was not permitted to have any say in government. I was a felon since I was 18 and not deemed worthy of speaking for my beliefs. That was over 25 years that I would have begged for someone like you, with similar values (Ford love set aside ) to speak for me. Now that I can legitimately speak for myself, I feel it is imperative to let people know they should speak their piece if they are afforded the right to do so. Please don't insult people like me who have been silenced for so long. Keep in mind, no one will agree with your beliefs completely. But you must, must, must step forth and vote your mind, if for no other reason then to respect those who are not afforded that right. I implore that of you, dude. Yur right to vote is huge, and I have been envious of folks like you for decades.

Been making my own old fashioneds tonight. I grabbed up 2 bottles of double oaked, a bottle of orange bitters, a bottle of plain bitters, a box of brown sugar cubes, a box of white sugar cubes, a bag of brown sugar (light) and a bag of white sugar. I always wanted to try them, and never have... I figured I would stay in tonight, and get fucked up trying my favorite bourbon. I didn't waste any time on club soda (because I refuse to add that shit to fine bourbon), water, or the traditional garnishes, which include lemon peel, lemon zest, orange slices and cherrys (some recipes also call for sour cherry juice). Please be aware and keep in mind that I love bourbon with a couple cubes. No water, no mixers... just very good whiskey. I truly enjoy it. I would rather drink a good bourbon than eat Kate Upton's pussy/asshole... Yes, I like it that much. One of my favorites is Woodford Reserve Double Oaked. It is a mid/high end bourbon that costs ~$60 a bottle (local taxes included). It is not cheap, but it is not Pappy Van Winkle expensive either. I will give you what is considered a rough recipe, and you can base some assumptions on the others based on the ingredients above if I don't include them below, since I am kinda fucked up... 3-4 dashes of bitters (in some cases all orange bitters, in some 50/50 orange and plain, and some straight plain), 1/2-1tsp of sugar (again, straight plain or 2 cubes of plain, 50/50 white/brown or 1 cube of each), 2 Oz of bourbon, ice cubes and in some cases a splash of water or club soda... Again, fuck watering it down, so no club or water was used. Also, I read a shit ton of arguments about what a dash is. Some say 1/8 a teaspoon, some say 1/4. I decided in 1/4 as a dash because 1/8 didn't do shit for flavor or pulverization/liquification of the sugar cubes. I tried it with cubes. I did not like cubes at all. I don't want to have to sit there and break up cubes for 20 minutes to have a drink. Cubes do not change the flavor over straight sugar/brown sugar. Don't waste the time. If you want cubes to try them, I will send you the trays of cubes I bought that were utter bullshit. Straight bitters... Nope. I didn't get much off the straight bitters in my mix. It was a waste of $5. Even the 50/50 straight/orange was not a good drink. So to simplify, buy orange bitters and granulated white/brown sugar. The process is simplified and the overall experience is much more pleasant. Brown sugar is OK. I like the slight molasses flavor it imparts. I find that the molasses flavor has a bit too much of a back of the tongue hanging bittersweet taste that I like, but it is not my favorite. While I am not a big chocolate fan, I do like bittersweet dark chocolate, so consider that when you decide your mix. To me, the best flavor is 1.5/1.5 tsp white granulated sugar/orange bitters to 4Oz of bourbon. It has a great bittersweet orange flavor that does not overpower the flavor of the bourbon. The bourbon stands right out in the forefront, but the aftertaste of the semi-sweet orange is a peasant addition to the strong flavor of the bourbon. While I generally do not like bourbon mixes (aside from a sour) I will drink this from time to time. The benefits of this are: You do not cut down the bourbon much at all... I hate a drink that cuts the base liquor by 66%... I am a man, not a woman. I like liquor, not wine coolers, white Russians, or Stoli-CollingYou do get the sturdy flavor of a good bourbon without a lot of coloration. However, the aftertaste is a pleasant surprise.It does have a sweet aroma, making it pretend to be delicate, yet it fools you with a full flavored complex taste that is still taste bold on the tongue.I can buy a cheaper liquor and still have a "high end" experiance.The negatives are simple: It is a flavored drink. If you are a hard core straight liquor drinker this is not for you.If your pocket is fat, this is a waste of time because you can afford a weekly fifth of Pappy 18 year at $1K/ bottle. If so, I will blow you for this pleasure. I drink 2-3 bottles of bourbon a week, thanks!In the future, I will likely save the money and buy the Woodford Distillers Select (at $32 a fifth it is nearly 1/2 as expensive) to make these drinks. But they are worth considering.

Yep! I get seriously pissed because 95% of my industry earns based on performance. We either get straight commission, flat rate (pay based on actual hours turned), percentage of total profit, etc. I see a ton of apprentices in my shop with no drive. I hear "I don't want to work hard", "This is harder work than I expected", "I didn't know you got paid like that", etc. The kids in this country are expecting everything to be handed to them... Fuck hard work, just give it to me because I deserve it! Fucking losers. There are energy savings, but most of those buying the hybrids are all about their impact on the environment. The truth is, a Prius... the bastion of green driving... has nearly 2.5X the carbon footprint of an H2, and 3X the total cost of ownership over the life of the vehicle. Wow, someone who understands what this election is about. Leftists are trying to paint this as a presidential election. Interestingly most of the grey areas in the country are running away from Obama's policies, and saying this isn't about him or his policies... Obama hurt many Dems by stating this election is about him. Even more so with the annual growth of recipients and the aforementioned insolvency. GWB was just as liberal as Obama. He was a fucking disgrace to his party. While I follow more libertarian views, I am aware that throwing a vote that way is throwing a vote in the trash. We live in a 2 party society, and I need to pick my battles well. I am more of a social liberal, but I am a firm economic and political conservative (to the literal sense of the word conservative, not the Rush Limbaugh/GWB neo con liberal version of conservatism). I do believe the federal government is intended to deal with interstate commerce, international commerce, Immigration, and the military, and that is all. The complete overreach of today's federal gvt is stunning. Bush showed me he had zero conservative values when the Terry Schaivo incident occurred. What a fucking hypocrite!
