That doesn't google. Got a link?

I found it first on wikipedia's page on ‘dojo’:

Other names for training halls
Other names for training halls that are equivalent to "dojo" include the following:

• Akhara ([[Indian martial arts])
• Dojang (Korean martial arts)
• Gelanggang (silat Melayu)
• Heya (sumo)
• Kalari (kalaripayat)
• Sasaran (pencak silat)
• Wuguan (wushu)

Maybe you could try duckduckgo instead of the guguru.

btw I love seeing ‘google’ take on an inaccusative form.

Man, this phrasing elicited a sudden profound nostalgia for Googlewhacking.

My own question: is there a way of serving beer warm, or a kind of beer that one serves warm? One supposes heating beer would just make it flat. But beer is for me a summertime drink, but I want a beer today even though it's cold outside.

Be English.

Well, look, I know good beer is properly served room temperature rather than refrigerated like Murcans do. But I need some temperature up from that. Like a hot toddy. (As though I've ever had a hot toddy.)

Poor one in a glass and put it in a microwave for 30 second intervals and see what happens. To me only godless savages choose to drink beer warm.

 

[Gori the Grey]

I'll probably just have a hot chocolate.

The English are largely atheistic these days, and before that they were Protestant.

That's a question of the style of beer, not the temperature. Get a nice malty dark beer, a porter or suchlike, that'll warm you through no bother.

Drink it cold anyway

So what you're telling me is that they were always godless savages?

Warm beer is nasty. What english drink is called cellar temp which is 55 degrees Fahrenheit. That's a little warm for my tastes but it's not like room temp or microwaved beer. My main issue with server a beer at that temp is it gets to room temp fast when it doesn't start off very cold.

However there's some simple ideas behind what temp to drink your beer at. Freezing cold drinks number your taste buds so you don't get as much flavor. And also cold inhibits the carbonation so the beer releases less aroma and flavor. Which is why americans love ice cold beer cus they are drinking swill like bud and coor's light. You don't want to taste the, er, depth of flavor, in those beers, you just want something cold and refreshing. It's why lagers and some pilsners taste better really cold too because they aren't as flavorful so you don't lose much. But a more complex ale, you won't taste all the notes if it's too cold. So right around 45 I think for me on those. What I do is pour them right out of the fridge which is around 38 degrees then let is sit a couple minutes and it warms up to the right temp.

If you want a warm drink what I like is hot chocolate with a shot of plain or vanilla vodka and a shot of irish cream. Irish cream is like 30 proof so not nearly strong enough for a proper drink, hence adding the vodka. Peppermint schnapps is pretty good too and you can get 80-100 proof schnapps so you don't have to add anything else.

But what I really came here to ask was have you ever been to a chiropractor? My wife has been experiencing a ton of back and leg pain and been to physical therapy but with no results so we are going to try a chiropractor. I have no opinions on them really, just have never been or know anyone who has been. Not sure how effective they can be.

 

[Gori the Grey]

I have a friend who believes in chiropractors. Haven't tried (needed) one myself.

(Yes, "cellar temp" is what I meant when I said room temp. I drink two kinds of beers: cold lagers in the summer and cellar temp ales. If I'd had Bailey's around, I'd have put it in hot chocolate. But I didn't. If I'd had brandy around, Ida drunk that; that really warms you up. As it is, I didn't end up having anything at all.)

 

[Farm Boy]

Hot booze, December. Wassail?

 

[Arakhor]

Mulled wine is very popular at this time of year.

 

[Gori the Grey]

I once had a smoking bishop, at a Dickens themed restaurant, because it's mentioned in Christmas Carol and I wanted to see what it was.

Look, I was trying to work with what I had on hand at home. I'll remember these suggestions when I stock my liquor cabinet for winter.

 

[Farm Boy]

Cinnamon stick in a room temperature Mickey's?

@Gori the Grey

From what I gather, chiro is largely a scam similar to homeopathy and other new-age hippie bullcrap, despite preceding that whole movement by many decades. But my grandma was a real chiropractor and she could accomplish results. So who knows?

Well, they were Catholic for some long time before they became Protestant, so not always.

What's the difference between the holy art practitioned by chiropractors and a massage?

You aren't making your case any stronger...
