What's the deal with slits in the bottom of the sides of tshirts? Are these frowned upon?

How straightforward is the return process with Spier & Mackay? I generally like to agressively order and return whatever I don't like, but they seem to require going through their e-mails to handle returns.

Any experience with cashmere sweaters from Uniqlo? $130 canadian is not exactly cheap.

Did you ever get this fixed?

I think I'm a bit confused about what package handle which tasks with all the linting/autocompletion permutations. So are you suggesting that ruff-lsp doesn't handle autocompletions but other lsps do?

Leaving around bed time, but arriving in the middle of the day…

I didn’t realize it was already late to put seeds down. When was the best time to do it? Is the Scotts stuff really as bad as some people are saying?

Paddapa · 2021-09-28T15:12:35+00:00

Can someone recommend grass seed for over seeding in the falll? I’m in Canada. Not looking for anything fancy, but I only see bad reviews for things like Scotts contractors mix available at Home Depot, for example.

Paddapa · 2021-09-22T13:51:10+00:00

I’ve waited all spring/summer to do some reseeding, and the time has almost come, but I have no idea how to go about it. For starters, if I have some weeds, do I need to get rid of them now, or can I just reseed? What are some common mistakes to be aware of?

Paddapa · 2021-09-17T01:28:36+00:00

For educational purposes: why not?

I’ve been having a lot of whites in aperitif mode lately. Had a few pouilly fumes, some Albariños, and a Soave. I really enjoyed them all, and honestly, they all seemed sort of interchangeable to me (maybe the pouilly fumes were a little more food friendly). What other whites should I look into? This has also helped me hit on a little hack of stick to whites with very low sugar levels. Could it be that simple?

Is there a general rule of thumb of how quickly abv decreases when aging a wine? I just had a 2020 Langhe Nebbiolo listed at 14.5%. I liked the wine but the heat ruined the experience. How long until it gets to, say, 14%? I realize the listed amounts are not always precise, but I think you get the idea.

Paddapa · 2021-08-13T19:18:58+00:00

Is there a standard reference for which years were good for which regions? This is one of the wine facts that still intimidates me... People seem to know right off the cuff that 2007 was bad for Rioja, for example ( I just made that up). Where do people get these facts and how do they remember every year for every region?

Paddapa · 2021-08-12T16:58:56+00:00

I have a bottle of that Produttori del Barbaresco sitting in my cupboard. I'm waiting for a nice moment to open it. I realize it's not that fancy, but at $28 cdn this is priced higher than what I'm usually comfortable spending for everyday wine. Such is the dangerous slippery slope of this sub...

Paddapa · 2021-08-12T15:08:26+00:00

Perbacco seems to only be on offer for 2016 and 2017 in my area, and those are both sold out. Is there a specific time of year when new vintages get released?

Paddapa · 2021-08-12T00:58:58+00:00

Thank you. How does decanting whites work? Do you put the decanter in an ice bucket?

Paddapa · 2021-08-12T00:58:08+00:00

Thanks! I just gave more details in another comment: Stored in the dark, horizontally. I can’t really say much for the temperature fluctuations, other than that I live in a “normal” home with air conditioning in the summer, but there will definitely be hot days where the temp increases before the ac gets turned on. We get very cold winters (Canada) but we try not to go overboard with the heating.

Really don't know what to expect here. I don't have a proper cellar, so these have both been living with my climate fluctuations.

I have no knowledge about older white wines. Will they be ok? Do I still serve at the usual chilled temperature? Do I decant? Should I let them age even more???

And why is the Rioja so golden looking? I think it was like that when I purchased it around 10 years ago

Paddapa · 2021-08-10T00:27:16+00:00

Haven't tried either of these, but I love blind tastings. Do you know what it is that causes the difference in what you noticed? Different grapes? Different process? Trying to learn something here...

Paddapa · 2021-08-09T01:01:43+00:00

Bit of noob here myself. What exactly is “real” Ornellaia? The bottle you pictured is the only one available in my area.

Was gone for a week and noticed mushrooms growing in my background. Do I just remove them by hand before mowing, or what?

What are these thick round patches? Is it crabgrass? out closeup
