Elon Musk started to follow me on X(/Twitter) today. ...Not that it matters. I'm very inactive on X, rarely posts, follows very few and have probably even fewer followers. Mean nothing to me. I only use X to stay in touch with some things. P.S. I also invented a new soft drink. Pear juice and Cola Zero. Don't tell Elon (can you call him by his first name?) about it. Before you know it he turns it into another billion and he doesn't like to share.

I somehow triggered that to "follow" me. Don't know quite how. I made some dam savvy technical comment about SpaceX rockets in one post, and I made another post, completely different, where I responded to an Elon post, just like thousands of others, but I did personalize my response with a "you". ...I dunno, but I doubt he'll be personally aware of my posts in the future. But it's still a tickle...

Hieronymus' elderly Housekeeper stops by his room early in the morning and is frozen in horror when she sees him sitting lifelessly in a chair with a huge scarred smile permanently etched across his face. When suddenly the TV across the room flicks on, and Tim Burton's BATMAN (1989) happens to be showing on TV, and just happens to be at the scene where Joker hijacks the Television Networks and is heard saying, "He's been using Brand X...."

Maybe it will put a smile on your face. Try it. One part pear juice, two parts Cola Zero. The pear juice I've used has a rather clean pear taste, even though it's not strong. Not strong as candy-pear taste, but the same kind of pure pear taste. Tomorrow, I'll buy some Pear Brandy and some pure Vodka brand (would Absolute be a good choice?) and continue the experiments, aiming for also a new cocktail. "Pearfect Zero" or something like that.

Absolut is fine, absolutely, but may suggest something else instead?

Absolut is fine, absolutely, but may suggest something else instead? Yes, maybe that is a better choice? I'm not a Vodka drinker. Basically my idea was then that I may need an as pure alcohol taste as possible, with no secondary taste. But about that experiment, trying to develop a cocktail from the pear & zero, it's not going well. I didn't have any time today to purchase spirits, and at home I only have four different Islay single malts and a plantation rum. The Scotch won't do, I figured, so I tried the rum. The result was disastrous. Very chemical and unpleasantly clashing tastes. The stuff don't harmonize at all. And I think the problem might be the alcohol taste itself, not that it's rum. There is another chance though. And that might be that it needs sugar instead of artificial sweetener? So I'll widen my experiments with real Coca Cola, as well as Vodka, but I don't have my hopes up. I don't think it'll work.

as pure alcohol taste as possible A good-quality vodka should do the trick. needs sugar instead of artificial sweetener That's a good idea. I don't think it'll work. I think you're onto something, keep experimenting.

From my experience if one of the basic tastes is a sweet alcohol based liqueur things should work out fine if your going for a sweet tasting coctail. Thing with alcohol is that it 'flattens' out the bubbles if too much which also is a thingy. Maybe look for a pear liqueur? It also depends oc on how much alcohol you want in the mix.

My new job is fucking killing me. We're understaffed and now my only co-worker in my department is down with covid. My boss is trying to help me but she only picks the easy stuff while I'm left with twice the workload and with really difficult work. And its only my 5th week. Today I literally had two phones squeezed to my head with my shoulders while I was using our SAP program desperately trying to find information about a product that refused to be found while in the meantime e-mails just came in like an avalanche, I was sweating like a raincloud. Spent my lunch break just sitting on a bench staring.
But my boss accidentally let slip that people with my experience are rare and it would be a nightmare if she tried to replace me. Tomorrow I will simply slow down and if work piles up I let it pile up. Working harder and faster will not result in a raise nor does it really help with job security so why bother.
Modern life is fucking garbage, quality of life is zero and there is no light at the end of the tunnel. If you survive shit days congratulations, have a bunch more. Enjoy. And people want to live forever or want to believe in reincarnation. What a joke.
