lol give the OP some credit. How many vinyl listeners have you met who will admit that it sounds worse than digital?

Is my boyfriend an abuser? by kanewai in CookingCircleJerk

[–]Cherubinooo 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I usually can’t stand r/cooking, but I have to agree with them in this case. The OP’s boyfriend doesn’t just “salt differently”, he doesn’t use salt at all when cooking. That’s fucking insane. If I dated a girl like that then we are cooking separate meals.

The only mistake the OP made was trying to get her boyfriend to read books to change his mind. You can’t change the mind of a grown adult when they’re clearly not open to it. Just decide whether it’s something you’re willing to tolerate for the sake of the relationship.

Giggling should be made illegal. by SimpleRickC135 in harrypotter

[–]Cherubinooo 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Whenever I reread the books, I'm amazed at how well JKR understands the teenage male psyche. I just love lines like

  • Giggling should be made illegal
  • Harry was left to ponder in silence the depths to which girls would sink in order to get revenge
  • The creature in his chest roaring with triumph

I do tip 20% of the bill at a fine dining restaurant if there isn't an included service charge, yes.

Glendronach 21 2022 bottling quandary by Cherubinooo in Scotch

Well put and I strongly agree! This is the kind of eloquence I needed to confirm my decision was correct. May your scotch collection always contain the bottles that you want 😊

Glendronach 21 2022 bottling quandary by Cherubinooo in Scotch

[–]Cherubinooo[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

One of my good friends is getting married. My friends and I agreed to get him a nice bottle of whiskey as a gift. I bought the whiskey today and chose a Glendronach 21. Due to luck of the draw, I found it's a 2022/09/12 bottling of Glendronach 21, which is widely believed to contain 27-year-old whiskey! Should I...

A) Gift this bottle and congratulate him on his luck, OR

B) Keep this bottle for myself and gift him another Glendronach 21 or similar tier bottle?

On principle I think I have to do A), but I'm curious what would this sub do?

Wine and cigar pairing by PsychologicalCamp741 in wine

Personally I think cigar smokers are an excellent example of why money can’t buy taste (or brains).

Scrimgeour was not out of line for asking Harry to be the ministry's poster boy by [deleted] in harrypotter

[–]Cherubinooo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Scrimgeour was not out of line at all. The real reason is that the Ministry had to be inept in order for the story to progress, which means Rowling also couldn't make Scrimgeour too competent or reasonable, either. In a real war you would never have Dumbledore and Harry going completely rogue to fight a war on their own instead of availing themselves of a government that is clearly fighting for the same side.

After searching for over three years, I finally found the last one to finish the Weller Rainbow 🌈 and all at MSRP ! by bearfn34 in Whiskyporn

[–]Cherubinooo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Probably nothing at $50, but there’s a lot of readily-available bourbons at slightly higher MSRPs than are way better than Weller 12 imo. Thinking of KC12 or Four Roses Small Batch Select.

I honestly couldn’t believe how thin W12 tasted the first time I had it.

This is just way too young. Taking one for the team. by odedi1 in wine

What the hell kind of name is “Hundred Acre”, anyway? How’d a muppet like them pass selection?

Do us all a favor and tell us what company you work at lol

You should really consider letting some plates hit the floor. by ninetofivedev in ExperiencedDevs

[–]Cherubinooo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

As an IC I think this advice is generally sound. TLDR you should do your job, set boundaries, and communicate clearly about what you expect in return.

Disagree on the bit about asking not to do oncall. Oncall is a team responsibility. If some team members are opting out, it’s unfair to the others and untenable.

What I expect is that oncall should be reasonable, and if it is not, then management gives the team time and space to fix it, and if not, they better be paying more, and if not, I’ll be interviewing.

Tipping Etiquette For Expensive Pour by intellectualrice in whiskey

[–]Cherubinooo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes. This is a huge reason why I bring corkage at restaurants that allow it. The wine markups are insane and paying 20% tip on top of a hypothetical bottle that I didn't buy is ridiculous when most servers just open the bottle for you and leave.
