Ive seen people use more adventurous fruits like strawberries, watermelon, peaches and blueberries as well.

For guests that dont know what theyre doing, Id suggest starting with a basic 1 1 recipe one ounce of gin to every one ounce of tonic water, thats easy enough to eyeball, and then telling them to select just one or two ingredients from the table to enhance it. Light drinkers can double the amount of tonic. Its VERY hard to go wrong with just adding a few of the fruits although Im sure someone can do it. Spices should be used sparingly, but those are pretty difficult to screw up as well as long as youre limiting your selection to just a small amount of one. Program Civil Engineering.

Do you deliberately avoid visiting friends who live in multi story buildings without an elevator No one would fault youhaving to climb even just a single flight of stairs is like being forced to workout against your will. But thanks to engineers at Georgia Tech and Emory University, stairs might one day do all the hard work for you. In a paper published today in the journal PLOS ONE, that team details their energy recycling stairs, which store energy when you descend, and then release it to make the ascent easier on the way back up. You probably dont stop to think about it while you race down a flight of stairs, but your body expends a considerable amount of energy in the process to prevent you from falling. Its usually wasted energy, but these energy recycling stairs take advantage of those forces using a spring loaded mechanism that compresses each step and locks it down as you descend. This leaves every step charged with potential energy once youve hit the bottom. When you go to climb back up, pressure sensors on each tread release the locking mechanism on the step below it, turning that stored potential energy into kinetic energy that helps lift a climbers leg as the spring powered step raises again.

And on the way back up, the energy recycling stairs make it around 3. The stairs unique mechanisms can be retrofitted to existing steps, so the technology isnt only for new buildings, necessarily. And installing them would be cheaper, and require less space, than an escalator or elevator. Theres no word on when this technology will be commercialized, but anyone living in an elevator less building will certainly be hoping its as soon as possible. Georgia Tech via New Atlas.
