"Cocktail" is more specific. Originally, it was identical with what's now called an Old Fashioned, i.e. spirit, sugar, bitters and water/ice. Later the term started including other alcoholic drinks like sours, martini etc.; I've seen people claim in discussions that's it's down to the amount of ingredients (e.g. a Rum & Coke is not a cocktail, but rum, cola and lime (Cuba Libre) might be) or a specific care exercized in preparation, but I think it's ultimately arbitrary.
Anyway, one of my favourite drinks is the Twice Up (whisky and water mixed 1:1, works great with many other spirits). Hard to call this a cocktail, considering adding water to whisky is just a completely normal way of drinking whisky in Scotland. The Scots just pour the water freehand instead of measuring an exact amount.
I got really into cocktails a few years ago (or "mixed drinks", if you want to be more technically correct). No way I'd be able to keep up at a real bar, even if I probably know more cocktails than many of the bartenders I've personally interacted with (TBF I haven't been to a bar since I really got into cocktails, and before I got into it I just went wherever it was cheap). Fixing drinks is at best half of the job anyway, and I'm rubbish at the people stuff.
Anyone played The Outer Worlds? I expect that's about what would happen if you joined Musk in colonizing another planet. i.e. a hypercapitalist (post-capitalist?) dystopia.
So, any thoughts on this Ukraine mineral deal situation? It's interesting that you chose to debate the difference between 'champing' and 'chomping' instead of engaging with the actual topic of the post and my comment.
Meh, both are considered correct today. Might as well complain that almost every sentence in American English contains misspellings because it's different from British English.
It's kind of absurd that "western" leaders aren't chomping at the bit for that minerals deal. USA might think they'd get the minerals without putting in the required effort, but Europeans can't hope for that. Maybe we just actually can't deliver what's required for a good-faith deal?
I'd assume coal miners and starving peasants just had different psychological issues (mostly, I bet some got depressed anyway, especially as a secondary effect of the other issues). Like PTSD, anxiety and the like.
About 8-20 mm give or take. Any longer would look bad due to male pattern balding (I should probably go even shorter).
Not particularly happy with it, but toupés/wigs or shaving it off completely seem like a pain and I'm definitely not going on medication or doing surgery just for longer hair.
Parents are usually not good at diagnosing health issues, especially when they tend to err on the side of "you're fine, get over it" - you're clearly not fine, so even if it's somehow not ADHD, you need to talk to a doctor/therapist ASAP.
Unlike most plants, it is white and does not contain chlorophyll.[9] Instead of generating food using the energy from sunlight, it is parasitic, and more specifically a mycoheterotroph. Its hosts are in the Russulaceae family.[9] Most fungi are mycorrhizal, meaning that they grow symbiotically in association with tree roots. Through the fungal web of mycorrhizae, the M. uniflora roots ultimately sap food from where the host fungi are connected to the photosynthetic trees.
Sick. Note that plants generally fall on a spectrum between food-generating from sunlight and parasitism through their roots; though generally, plants don't just steal nutrients from fungi, they exchange nutrients with them, i.e. it's a mutualistic relationship.
