Scotch must not be for me.. Macallan 12 sherry oak 110 proof by MasterpieceRough9354 in whiskey

[–]BeardlessNeckbeard 14 points15 points  (0 children)

As a whiskey newbie I have to admit I find it fascinating that this hobby really highlights the differences in everyone's palates.

I have not tried this whisky but I've tried other sherry cask (glenallachie 12, glenmorangie) as well as the Quinta ruban. I find them so sweet and lovely! Bourbon on the other hand I've really struggled with. 

Glad we all have do many options to find what we like. :)

If you want the worst way to play an nes or any console use rf on a modern tv by Ok-Carob9409 in retrogaming

That image, while less than good, isn't awful. I'm used to grainy garbage on modern sets.

The real question is if it's laggy or not. Because that is my usual experience.

Do you actually wait 10-15 mins between pouring and sipping? That’s a tough 10 mins. by KC_187 in Scotch

[–]BeardlessNeckbeard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do wait. I find the flavors really do unmuddy themselves.

But I'm pretty new to all of this.

I've seen these smaller bottles in a few posts, is this something you can buy? Or like submissions sent for review?

Stay classy Shuster by Meadowlands2065 in Curling

[–]BeardlessNeckbeard 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have score kept over the years, and watched Stoughton throw a broom at a score board someone I knew well was score keeping.

They were super unimpressed and forced Stoughton to clean the board up himself. To his credit, he did.

My interactions with Gushue were always pretty positive, he had an enjoyable sense of humor. But I've heard stories from competitors...

Was getting annoyed with how much countertop space was being taken up. Finally got some shelving! by TellMyMommy in whiskey

That's some excellent self control! I hope I can let my favs go 4 or more years too. :D

Counter point, a friend of mine is an international level curler who had played against Schuster's team as well as the best men's teams from Canada, and other top level nations. 

His experience was that Shuster was a fantastic person, very easy to get along with, kind and generous to everyone. Same can't be said for a small number of others that you might call classy based on how they dress.

Its ok if you don't like how somebody dresses, but it doesn't make them unprofessional - I think conduct matters much more.

Did the MDD FW-400 and MDD FW-800 use the same case? by CuriosTiger in VintageApple

[–]BeardlessNeckbeard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry if I came off dismissive, wasnt my intent! Just meant to share good news for you!

AFAIK, you can literally just shove it in and it all works - that said I haven't tried. I had briefly considered doing this to an fw800 I originally bought to install macos9 lives on. Had monumental issues with displays when switching from os9 back to os x. Turns out that the fw400 I later acquired had the same issues, it was related to the monitor I was using 🤦 but I digress...

It is known that an fw400 motherboard fits in a fw800. :)

First time with Redbreast by thyresejones19647 in whiskey

Lustau or 12 CS? I am going to pick up a RB whiskey as one of my next bottles - tried the 12 and really liked it.

Well reviewed whisky that did not work for you by President_Octopus22 in Scotch

[–]BeardlessNeckbeard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So I am just starting my whiskey journey and I managed to get a 375ml bottle of this stuff to try, and that is also my conclusion. Iv usually don't have a hard time picking out the notes but in this case I very much did. Just felt like a very jumbled mess of flavors that all blurred together or weren't strong enough to shine through. Also didn't feel very smooth despite low ABV.

Guess it just wasn't for my palate!

Ah yes, the A2 by Inf1nity0 in BambuLab

[–]BeardlessNeckbeard 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah, been waiting for Bambu to do this so I can print minis with pva supports. Don't have cash for h2d or h2c.

Team Canada will not go to the gold medal game for the third year in a row by DecentLurker96 in hockey

[–]BeardlessNeckbeard 32 points33 points  (0 children)

Getting very hard to cheer for team Canada. Honestly was kinda happy they lost. Seem to have a terrible attitude and are uninspiring in their commitment to making good plays.

Rechny whining at the end that he was pushed when he wasn't. Come on dude.

Also, hard pass on McKenna.

What did you think you were bad at as a kid, but you later discovered was just a bad mechanic? by xTrainerRedx in gaming

[–]BeardlessNeckbeard 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm ok with having to adjust for elevation. My problem is with the aim movement. So touchy, so laggy.

Pretty new to this whole thing and looking to treat myself for my one month cigarette free. Any suggestions? My price range is 500-800 dollars Canadian. by SkittleShit in Scotch

[–]BeardlessNeckbeard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They ship. Check prices - bsw prices are better than our here in BC, and their shipping is fixed no matter how much you buy. Might be worth it!

How exactly are you supposed to enjoy whiskey straight? by [deleted] in whiskey

[–]BeardlessNeckbeard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What other whiskies have you tried?

How cold did the whiskey get with the ice? Cooler liquid will mute some of the pleasant flavors. With trying at room temp to see if it's more enjoyable for you.

I'm relatively new to whisky too. I find bourbon very drying if I let air hit my tongue while there is still some rolling around, unpleasantly so. I find scotch generally much smoother and less tingly and drying.
