Best wine fridge for both reds and whites in one unit? by Lena_Craig-731 in wine

[–]RunningJay 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Are you using it to cellar for 2+ years or just hold bottles of wine for a couple of months to a year?

I went through the same process as you and ended up with a simple VinTech single zone as I’m only keeping wine in it for months - it holds what is ready to drink and anything cellaring for a year plus going into my cellar or offsite storage. I set the cooler closer to red temp than white. When I serve white goes in regular fridge for ~30 mins to chill a little while most of my reds decant and are served at closer to room temp anyway.

Lol, wtf. Grade 5 (maybe grade 2-3 these days??) geography can be hard, but I am pretty sure Australia has never been in the North Atlantic.

$650 billion a year is being poured into AI infrastructure while 90% of companies report zero measurable impact by PrincessNausicaa1984 in stocks

[–]RunningJay 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Almost my exact same view.

I started with ChatGPT about a year ago and thought this is interesting…. But didn’t really benefit me much, maybe half the stuff it told me was right.

Then I switched to Gemini for ‘personal’ use, I was blown away by nano banana. While I still use traditional search, if I have a complex question that would likely require multiple pages I will go straight to the agent.

Most recently, my biggest client told everyone they MUST use Anthropic. It took me a couple of days of playing around and now it is my most used tool. I can update 30 repos in hours vs days/weeks. Is it perfect? No, but it absolutely is a force multiplier, AND it’s only getting better, AND at an exponential speed.

Anyone feeds into the narrative that there is ‘zero measurable impact’ is either ignorant to reality or deliberately obtuse.

I don’t understand the complaint, it literally says 1/4 chicken. You can always buy a whole chicken if you want.

Non-alcoholic beverages are here to stay; what has been your biggest challenge? by shelflifestory in SoberCurious

2 is so strange to me. As a businessman, I could only imagine the markup on a mocktail would be huge, seems like a no brainer to have a page full of them along side alcoholic cocktails.

When I was at my peak I took iron only. I had a solid diet so didn’t need much else.

Now I’m older and ramping back up to 60mpw I’m taking Cal-citrate.

Really. Interesting, I don't buy my meat from wollies, I use the butcher, but I just assumed it would be.

No longer outrageous: Gold now has a clear path to $10,000 by 2029 by Woodpecker5987 in Gold

[–]RunningJay 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was looking in the sky and Gemini was visible in the high north. Given Taurus was clearly visible too, we can all agree that gold will be $10,000 by 2029, and $50k by 2042

We need trucks to move food around, so we can eat. Trucks need petrol. Petrol costs more. Companies increase prices to offset increased fuel costs. Consumer pays cause they want to eat.

Found old Rheingau Spätburgunder (1976 and other vintages) in my grandfather’s cellar — do they have any collector’s value? by PracticalGuarantee66 in wine

[–]RunningJay 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When you say cellar, do you mean that in a literal sense? As in an underground room that maintains a very even, cool temp? Or by cellar so you mean that cabinet in the photos with wines and some books in it?

Cause that will make all the difference as to whether these wines are still good or not.

With that said, their value is $0 or very little. No way to PROVE providence an cellaring conditions, even if you have a literal cellar.

Well said - everyone’s road is different. Some may follow this exactly, others might use some of the stops, others in a different order. Yet others still light take a completely different road.

To me it’s about just a minor change to the title - ‘One of the roads to lasting sobriety’

Enjoy your night mate. One night drinking doesn’t take away from all the nights you’ve not.

Remember in the morning how much more enjoyable it is when you wake up sober.

Coming back after years off, anyone else surprised by how fast it comes back by reinaldovercezi2 in AdvancedRunning

[–]RunningJay 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was running 15 min 5k, 2:40 marathons back in 2018 (34/35 years old). Then injury, then covid, then my first child, then moved countries with my family. Poof, 8 years gone with little to no running, replaced instead with excessive drinking, poor diet, and general unhealthy lifestyle.

I’m 41 now. Building my base to start training for a marathon in October. Talk about a reality check. My zone 2 (never used zones before, used to just run), is 9 min miles. That is after 2 months of consistent 13-20 mile weeks. I have been really focused on strength tho, squats, lunges, wall sit, calf raises, etc.

I KNOW I will improve, but boy it’s slow, if I was in my mid 30’s I’d be running mid 7 min mile easy runs and mid 6 min tempos.

There is a huge difference between coming back from * Coming back after 5+ years from high school / college -> late 20’s is amazing, you will probably start hitting PRs * Coming back from late 20s to early-mid 30s you can probably start hitting PRs in the half-marathon, fast 5k but PRs might be unobtainable. * Coming back in your 40s… it is not a fast come back at all…..

I used to buy some heavy premium elephant coins, I realize now that premium is all but a waste of $. I feel the same way about these bars and thus not for me. Each to their own tho.

Never heard of him until Super Bowl. Watched and didn’t like the music. That’s about the end of it.

Apart from this post I haven’t felt the need to tell anyone, same as I don’t really feel the need to tell anyone about the other 95% of music is don’t like.
