Managed to stay awake until midnight. Perfect.

Having some serious Web 1.0 nostalgia as I revisit sites that are still being updated but which haven't changed since the early 2000s…

@kdfrawg It was pretty decent!

Quinoa, mushrooms, and spinach stir fried with butter and tossed with parmesan and truffle oil. Possibly the healthiest meal I've had in a while.

I'll buy my tech in HK, thanks, where sales tax doesn't exist :P

How much money do you think I'm saving? :o The saved money could probably get me the touchbar in the new Macbook, but little more…

3L is about 40 cocktails I think, and this is all going to cost about £120. 1 cocktail in any London bar worth going to would be about £14. So I'm sure I could use the money saved to buy a nice leather armchair…

I've done all the calculations and I can batch about 3L of classic cocktails with just 5 bottles of alcohol and have minimal leftovers:

  • 600ml Manhattan
  • 750ml Negroni
  • 750ml Martini
  • 700ml Boulevardier
  • 190ml Americano

The leftover dry vermouth (500ml) would keep long enough for me to use in sauces, and the 150ml remaining Campari would just be drunk with tonic water.

Buying everything on Amazon and using pretty decent bottles, this works out to at least 1/2 the price of drinking in Edinburgh bars, and 1/4 the price of London bars.

Oh yes.

In any case, I hate hearing anything but myself when I'm at home. Don't want to know about the neighbours or the loud people outside…and I don't want people hearing me either.

In HK, one is often synonymous with the other.
