It’s standard practice to add a dash of water to Scotch. Distilleries encourage it during tastings. And since some scientists seem to have a lot of free time, they’ve shown this: https://www.smithsonianmag.com/smart-news/science-says-add-little-water-your-scotch-180964562/

The main way ice cubes chill drinks is by melting slightly. The melted ice becomes cold water which mixes with the drink thereby lowering its temperature.

I was given a set of the soapstone stones, was skeptical that there’d be much of a temperature exchange between stone and whiskey, knew they wouldn’t work like ice, found they didn’t really cool down the liquid noticably, and finally realized what they’re good for — maintaining the temperature of the whiskey. If you

I mean, if I lived in a place where 70-72 degrees was the normal ambient, then sure. But as my ambient temp is not room temp (it is an actual defined temp) so chilling of things may be required. 

Not everyone has a British made refrigerator.

Be a bit weird to extend Karachi to a season in India instead of Pakistan.

i would have rather either seen the karachi stuff expanded upon to be a whole ‘kamala in india’ second season or excised completely and done 2-episodes about late homework or something really grounded.

I’ve been a comics fan since I was five, and I’m in my forties now. Anybody who says they care about the Inhumans is a liar. They’ve always been at best weird foils/allies for the FF. Black Bolt and Medusa are cool, but the tv show was total garbage and the only reason Kamala was INhuman in the first place was

The creators of Miss Marvel have been on record that the only reason she is a Inhuman in the comics is because of the Marvels editorial at the time.   I’m wondering if this reveal in the MCU is going to cause a retcon for comic Miss Marvel making her actual a mutant and it was just a fluke that her powers manifested

So many people pretending they care about the Inhumans right now. Guys, just say you hate the show because you’re racist. I’d actually have more respect for that position.

Ah, you’re right — not quite the trainwreck that cutting out the ‘release a plague’ thing seemed to be for TFATWS, because that show was a pile of loose dorknobs, villain-wise, but maybe it does explain some of the later-half wonkiness for this show that the higher-ups suddenly told them ‘wait, we’re spinning DoDC in

this was a nice show. nowhere near the top of my mcu stuff, but very comfortably atop the disney+ shows (wandavision will always be the one i had the most fun watching, but that mostly had to do with the pandemic of it all [and i preferred the friday release])

Oh and I forgot to mention that, for being largely a bookend character only mattering in the first episode and this one, it actually does reveal a lot about Zoe’s character. Not only was she not willing to cooperate with Damage Control in general but the reveal that she knew, all along, it was Kamala and not only did

Loved the little X-Men sting when they lampshaded ‘we’re not going to tell you what Kamala is nor does she care’. 

I’m fully in support of women freeing their nipples.

And their whole ass titties.  

Everything I see Florence Pugh do, I am like Kate Bishop

She is the heart, but she’s also the least good actor in the cast, I think.

Just a mild pet peeve. Supercooling has an actual meaning and that isn’t it. I know you threw quotes around it, but I’ve literally never seen supercooled or superheated used correctly in any form of pop media. 

Make those shade structures trellises with plants to address both issues.

“it’s going to have to work really hard to cool the place down. The compressor, fan, and other components will get a workout. Running it at night when the temperature is much lower means it won’t experience so much wear and tear,”
