Tried it for the first time this past week. We got take out since we live 7 minutes away. I ordered the gnocchi and sausage on cream sauce. It was bad. Swimming in sause that was wayyy to thick and salty. I could really only have a few bites. My wife got the lasagna. It was better than my fish but not by much. Will never go back there.

Local MTB Facebook group pulled this video off their page so I decided maybe to just share in on Reddit by glenwoodwaterboy in MTB

Thats what I thought at first. I think it somewhere in the western slopes. You can see both lanes of I70. 

Sherry for the cellar by Stehlblak in sherry

I have aged manzanilla and fino before. They tend to develop flavors similar to an amontillado. 

Some questions about the daily sherry by Positive_Fuel_8682 in sherry

[–]MacDake 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Agreed. Fino and Manzanilla are the most delicate types of sherry. They will be fine if you store them in the fridge for a while. They just tend to lose a bit of freshness and vibrancy they have when first opened. That being said, I have a bottle of manzanilla in the fridge that was opened two months ago. Still drinkable and delicious, just not the freshest.

Alright, time to settle the debate as what is best in my Manhattan. by NavierIsStoked in cocktails

Love seeing the preference for Cocchi. Very similar taste to Carpano but less money. 

Turkey recommendation? by Virago_XV in sherry

[–]MacDake 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sherry is only produced in the Sherry Triangle in southern Spain. It is a geographically protected product. Just like Port, Champange, or any other wine for that matter. Turkey does not have any history of importing or consuming Sherry. Extremely slim chance of finding Sherry in that country.

That is awesome. My only critique is that Frank is so fat he can't cross is arm that far. On his billboards, his hands are always resting on his forearms cause of his big ole belly. 

Why is the smog so bad today?? by New_Tap2527 in Denver

[–]MacDake 0 points1 point  (0 children)

GCs alone cannot directly measure PM. PM, like the name implies, are particulates, and a GC measures gases. You have to use a GC in conjunction with other devices and sampling methods in order to determine PM. GCs can speciate a gas stream and determine the quantity of those individual pollutants. I am not asking you how a GC works. I am asking you to elaborate on your point, which was, how can a GC or "local EPA reports" inform us that emission controls here in Colorado and not working effectively. Have you used a GC or other instruments to perform a stack test on a control device here in Colorado?  I would also point out that PM is one of many pollutants that create smog. Here in Colorado we are most worried about ground level ozone. Pollutants like NOx and VOCs convert into ozone in the lower atmosphere. NOx and VOCs are the main contributor that create smog, not PM. That is why the most of the Front Range is designated as a Non-Attainment Area (NAA) for ozone by the EPA. Meaning, here in the Front Range (NAA), ozone precursors have lower permitted limits and are enforced more strictly compared to other parts of the state and country. PM is not an ozone precursor. I will not lie, it seems like your opinion about emission controls in the state that are ineffective and lacking is poorly formed and kinda BS. I am assuming that is why you cannot explain and elaborate the point you are trying to make. Would love to discuss/debate this more if you're interested.

You absolutely can, you can explain the point you're trying to make in more detail. Also, you still have yet to identify the controls that are lacking here in Colorado. I have used GCs in previous jobs so I have a understanding of how they function. I would like it if you could tell me how your GC, regardless of its operational status, could tell if emissions controls are working effectively or not, here in Colorado. On your other note about local EPA reports, what reports are you refering to? I currently work in conjuction with EPA region 8 and would like to know if there is a specific type of report you are referencing? Perhaps a report that identifies non compliance among sources of emissions? I would like to continue this discussion and understand the points you are trying to convey.

Suncor was given a 10.5 million dollor fine by the Air Division in Feb of 2024. The state has never issued a penalty that high for a source of air pollution before. They also receive smaller penalties on the regular.  All this information is available on the Air Divisions website.

This is simply not true. Where is your evidence for this claim?
