It is an art, like piano tuning, since the conditions change with the seasons. But when you pour out, say, a Powerade Zero and it turns to slush right in the glass, there is little as satisfying.
Work that ice maker, top off every beverage all day with ice. Stir it up and get the liquid cold AF right away. Maximize the cold. It feels so good going down, it almost hurts. It should be colder than ice cream. Especially if you live in a dry desert like I do in Tucson, it's high priority.
My fridge was too cold & my big bottle of mango juice partially froze into a glorious slushy drink ๐
The fates have smiled upon this day
*Be very careful if you attempt this intentionally - freezing completely could easily shatter the bottle
I'd NEVER pay for a algo-driven, ad-saturated social network...so even if it's purely symbolic in the long run, I just upgraded to demonstrate with my wallet that there is a market for this cool community.
I know I'm not cool. That's why I appreciate the PI community for letting me play at being cool. I feel like a hipster pollywog with a protective froggie parent letting me explore the pond safely. Sure, at some point I'm likely to get snatched up as a seagull's breakfast, but I'll enjoy the pond while I can. Thanks.
