At intermission we switched over to the Improved Japanese Cocktail (ecch, dislike the name), our first cocktail to use orgeat. Delicious! Simple! It was a big hit. 2oz brandy, 1oz lemon juice, 1oz orgeat, three dashes Peychaud's bitters (I forgot mine at home! We subbed in Angostura); shake hard with ice until the shaker frosts, double-strain into a coupe, garnish froth with a dot of bitters & a twist of lemon or orange.

For cocktails we started with a classic gin & tonic, but with an extra bitter tonic syrup + soda, a decent amount of fresh strained lime juice, just a pinch of salt to cut the lime bitterness, and a gorgeous indigo coloured Empress 1908 butterfly pea flower gin.
I also put together a simple Dark & Stormy with Pickett's spicy ginger beer syrup & lime juice with a wedge for Tammy. I love that variation. She did too, I think.

It was pretty good! Longer than it needed to be to tell its story but it did use the length to build a solid case for sympathy & understanding of something deeply affecting the country at the time. Surprisingly progressive about cultural institutions in a couple of ways, surprising very backwards in some other ways.
We watched it over two evenings, each half with an intermission. It is LONG.

Oh I see, if I'm not using that arm to pet the cat then I don't get to use it for any other purpose. So it be like that, eh?

someday game designers are gonna realize that making augmentations make you less human is actually a horrible, bigoted mechanic and the best tradeoff mechanic for cyberware in rpgs is the compatibility headaches you get from reconciling seven different networking protocols with each other and your own biology without it all shutting down

I think I want to give an in-depth talk about #IEEE754 for our local #PapersWeLove meetup. Rounding modes, NaN bit-patterns, denormalised numbers. The real gory details.
A standards document is a paper, right?
