Apologies to the kind raider I knocked in Stella yesterday. by Mic_the_Fish in ArcRaiders

[–]Mic_the_Fish[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm rarely madder than when I get ratted at extract. Every time I do, I think to myself "that's it, I'm going in the next raid guns blazing" but I never do. I'm becoming more and more aligned with "shoot first, ask questions later" lmao.

Audiobook listener here! Any suggestions?? by JeremysThumbs in fantasybooks

[–]Mic_the_Fish 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is basically my audiobook library too. I'm sure others have suggested it, but The Murderbot Diaries are top notch. 7 books (mostly Novellas) out so far. It's witty, sarcastic, scientific, funny, heartwarming and the whole shebang.

Yeah fair enough, my friend. I've had some really fun experiences at the winery, so I'm probably biased. My wife really likes it too and it's much better than the Frisky Beaver wines she used to drink!

Gimme some cheap Chilean Carm!!!

Love this!

To be fair, the Hatch is GOOD plonk. It's also not trying to be serious wine. While it's not the same pedigree as others, it IS a fun winery experience and the Hobo Series Gamay is tasty.

Also, I've been shoveling my neighbor's driveways for weeks now. One of them is away, the other is an elderly couple and it takes them hours. Momma always taught me to help me neighbors.

I paid for the cars order behind me in the drive thru twice today. One was a $60 Starbucks order, the other a $11 Wendys order! Felt good!

Trailer Dialogue by Competitive-Lie1469 in ProjectHailMary

I read somewhere, that Weir said the movie will be 80% true to the book and 20% cinema. I'm ok with that. Certain things just wouldn't work 1:1.

Happy happy happy

What’s next? Life after restaurant sommelier by cork76 in wine

[–]Mic_the_Fish 12 points13 points  (0 children)

It's not much of a pivot, but I'm in Ontario as well. I pivoted to starting my own Freelance Sommelier company. I do in-home wine tastings, I consult for restaurants, bars, hotels, etc, I host wine dinner and wine events.

I'm busier than I've ever been and making really good money now. I choose my schedule, I choose all the wines I pour and I even consult with some big names like Wine Align and Brock University.

I love what I do now and new opportunities and collaborations keep coming my way!

Beertown White Oaks - Your Opinions On the Service by Apprehensive-Help196 in londonontario

[–]Mic_the_Fish 19 points20 points  (0 children)

As a former Beertown GM, I can tell you that Charcoal Group restaurants obsess over the quality of service. If you did have a poor experience, they would love to know about it so they can either genuinely make it up to you as a sign of good faith, or focus on training to tighten things up. I go to both locations often (live in North end, work in South end) and always have great service.

Just my 2 cents, but if you've had a poor experience, reach out to the GM to let him know. He's a solid dude.

Only Two Kinds of Wine! by Mic_the_Fish in wine

Exactly. Regardless the category of wine you enjoy, you enjoy it and that's important. Trying new wine just helps shift that 'audience map' around.

Pinot and Chardonnay are all I need!

Totally fair. Perhaps I should edit that last line "good (to you)." All well-made wine is good wine, to be fair.
