🧵 of the night
Disturbingly detailed analysis of my first rewatch incoming

🧵 of the night
Verdict on these things:
They were pretty great. Came out very clear and looked beautiful over a big rock.
Texture/mouthfeel/body was killer.
Hides the alcohol. They were boozy as hell. I had two, which was a mistake.
A little too sweet for my taste, would cut down the simple syrup next time.

RFK Jr on what he'll eat during the Super Bowl: "I am on a carnivore diet so I just eat meat and ferments, and I'm very happy with that. So I'm probably going to have yogurt."

Meanwhile, chez Gilman, there was lots of leftover egg white from the challah, so I made sours for the group.
This Amaro Sour was made with Amaro Averna and Old Grand-Dad BiB Bourbon. Latter is my current go-to for shaken drinks.
Rich and delicious.

Over the years, I have fully internalized the concept of burn rate. It's like your heartbeat; you may not focus on it every moment, but it's always there. So I am having some real trouble getting my head around $1B/month. How does that support the math for SpaceX's anticipated IPO valuation?
Elon Musk’s xAI is a cash incinerator: it is reportedly burning through nearly $1bn a month. Mr Musk may thus be eager to use SpaceX to subsidise his chatbot app

Dry January is over tomorrow, but, well, we are not observant here at Bar Gilman.
My own drink last night was my favorite four-equal-parts concoction, the Monte Cassino -- rye, lemon, Benedictine, Yellow Chartreuse.
I've been know to call it the Double Monk. It's a beauty.
