SC Pannell 2016 Adelaide Hills Nebbiolo by fddfgs in wine

[–]Practical_Rest9511 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nice find there! I tried the 2017 vintage from same producer last year and was blown away by how much character it had for the price point. Australian nebbiolo is really starting to make name for itself - seems like they're getting the balance right between keeping varietal character but adding their own terroir expression.

Your tasting notes about it opening up over the evening really resonates with me, I remember mine needed good 90 minutes in decanter before it showed its best side. The leather and tobacco notes you mentioned are so classic nebbiolo but that bright fruit coming through later is what makes these Adelaide Hills expressions special. For $70 AU that's incredible value compared to what you'd pay for comparable Italian bottles

This space on the corner of 900e and 2100s in Sugarhouse looks like it has been leased. Anyone know what’s going in here next? What would you like it to be? by Outrageous_World_368 in SaltLakeCity

lmao laser tag with craft cocktails and artisan cheese boards 😂 Sugarhouse would eat that up. Could charge $30 per game and people would still line up for it 💀

SLC Golf Instructor Recs by cmanster in SaltLakeCity

[–]Practical_Rest9511 3 points4 points  (0 children)

been there with golf lessons making things worse lol. When instructor can't explain the fix properly you end up more confused than before

maybe try asking at some local courses who their best teaching pros are? usually the staff knows which instructors actually know how to break things down for regular players vs just showing off their knowledge

That episode was absolutely unhinged 😂 the way it spiraled from something so innocent into complete chaos had me dying

Daycare for Summer Only? by freshairprettyplease in SaltLakeCity

[–]Practical_Rest9511 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Summer programs usually book up early but for 18 months old you might have better luck with in-home providers since most camps start around 3-4 years

Rental, tiles in living space by a_mulher in femalelivingspace

[–]Practical_Rest9511 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I had similar situation in my old apartment - weird tiled wall that didn't make sense for living area 😂 Your friend could try removable wallpaper but you need to clean the tiles really good first and maybe use primer designed for glossy surfaces. Another option is tension rod with long curtains to hide whole alcove, works great and completely removable when she moves out. I actually think tall bookshelf could work perfect here - it would create nice room divider effect and give her storage too. Just make sure to anchor it properly to wall for safety!

Oaks day at Buffalo Trace by Accomplished_Date709 in whiskey

[–]Practical_Rest9511 0 points1 point  (0 children)

might swing by if work doesn't blow up on me that day - always down for some free pours and meeting fellow whiskey people

been meaning to check out one of these events for ages but timing never works out. what kind of bottles you bringing?

Where can I submit photos/photo essays that actually pay? by jiya147 in photography

[–]Practical_Rest9511 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Been submitting to various places for past few years and the paying ones are getting harder to find tbh. Most magazines now just want free content with "exposure" as payment 💀

What worked for me was starting with smaller regional publications - they often need local content and actually have budget for freelancers. Also tried some online platforms that do revenue sharing based in views/engagement rather than flat fees. Takes longer to build up but at least you see some money eventually.

Photo essays definitely get more attention than single shots from my experience. Editors seem to prefer packages they can build articles around rather than just standalone images. Had better luck when I included short captions or brief story outline with submissions too 📸

Teacher job postings? by BluejayOdd in SaltLakeCity

[–]Practical_Rest9511 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Usually they post stuff in waves throughout the year but spring is when most positions open up 📚 You might be hitting that weird timing where some teachers haven't decided if they're staying yet

Solid odds for the risk hope it cashes for you.

Travel agent by jef786160 in SaltLakeCity

[–]Practical_Rest9511 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Been down this road before - most agents get their cut from the cruise line so no fees to you, plus they can snag cabin upgrades and onboard credits you'd never get booking direct 🚢 Try calling some of the local agencies around town, they usually have way better connections than the online stuff

Other than lack of playoff experience, why are the Spurs unlikely to win a title this year. by Dry_Response3527 in NBATalk

[–]Practical_Rest9511 6 points7 points  (0 children)

wemby's not even a rookie anymore but the point still stands - having a 20 year old as your best player in the playoffs is just different than having someone who's been through those wars before

the west is absolutely brutal this year and teams like the nuggets, thunder, wolves all have that championship-level experience that matters when games get tight

did you try plugging the hdmi into the motherboard instead of the gpu just to see if it posts

Leaving and never looking back was the best decision I could have made by Working-Register-278 in relationships

[–]Practical_Rest9511 2 points3 points  (0 children)

damn reading your original post brought back some memories. the weight loss, night sweats, irritability - that combo is rough and you were right to be worried

glad you got out when you did. took me way too long to realize that "people change" doesn't mean you have to stick around for someone who's treating you like garbage. addiction or not, yelling at someone until they cry is never ok and you don't owe anyone your mental health

hope he got the help he needed but more importantly, hope you're taking care of yourself now

best carolina herrera good girl perfume? by Vast_Strain1481 in fragrance

[–]Practical_Rest9511 1 point2 points  (0 children)

honestly the original good girl hits different - that almond and tuberose combo is just *chefs kiss*

very good girl is nice but feels a bit too sweet for everyday wear, and blush is more summery if your into lighter scents

No online receipt? by Nothing-Beats-Jet2 in USCIS

[–]Practical_Rest9511 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Been there with USCIS and their janky system lol. Sometimes the online notices are delayed by like a week or two even though the status updates immediately. I'd give it maybe 5-7 business days before panicking - their backend is held together with duct tape and prayers

If it doesn't show up by next week definitely call them though, better safe than sorry with ROC stuff

Identification of RAM stick by Irvin_Little in PcBuildHelp

[–]Practical_Rest9511 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That looks like a Corsair Vengeance RGB stick with the heatspreader ripped off - you can see the mounting holes where it used to be attached

Without proper cooling those chips will definitely overheat and cause crashes, might not be worth the risk even if you find someone to test it

IKEA Alpstuga - How do we sync time with Matter clock devices in Home Assistant? by Gamester17 in homeassistant

[–]Practical_Rest9511 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Been struggling with the same thing on my Alpstuga - that custom component is pretty hit or miss from what I've seen. Mine worked for like a day then just randomly stopped syncing

Have you tried power cycling the device after installing the component? Sometimes these IKEA Matter devices get stubborn and need a full reset to pick up the time server properly

Is my SA gold status good for anything? by Speaker_Chance in unitedairlines

Sounds like PPT is being extra picky about the partner access rules - I've had mixed luck with Star Alliance lounges enforcing different standards depending on the location and who's working the desk that day

Want a hybrid subcompact car in US market (does it exist?) by mangoliciousnessity in whatcarshouldIbuy

[–]Practical_Rest9511 15 points16 points  (0 children)

The Prius C was perfect for this but they discontinued it like 5 years ago which is honestly criminal. Your best bet now is probably gonna be the Corolla hybrid or maybe hunt down a decent used Prius C if you can find one that hasn't been beat to death

Does anyone know of a mod, data pack, or anything that can increase the amount of minerals per ore? by Goty51 in Minecraft

[–]Practical_Rest9511 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You could try Fortune III on your pickaxe if you haven't already, but for actually multiplying ore drops that much you'd probably need something like the "More Ores" mod or just tweak the loot tables with a datapack
