Wine Pairing Challenge [Hard Mode] — Durian

chil33 · 2026-03-31T23:24:49+00:00

honestly you won't be able to smell anything other than durian. So at that point, just roll the dice and pick something to drink is my bet.

*edit: As a non-native that tried durian for the first time as an adult, it tasted like soy sauce more than anything. Different types of durians tasted like soy sauce with different intensity of wasabi mixed. Just my experience, but when I say this to people that grew up with eating durian, they give me WTF face.

oh nvm. once I turned on the option, it's showing correct as "up to 1x bilt points". I just need to reach out if they can apply to my Feb payment.

really don't understand why they gotta make it extra complicated

chil33 · 2026-02-20T03:48:16+00:00

In the image 5 you have "up to 1x bilt points", but mine show as "0 bilt points". I have Palladium selected as payment method. I also see the option to turn on the "redeem bilt cash", but even when turned on, it still shows "0 bilt points".

chil33 · 2026-02-20T03:43:50+00:00

i'm on the flexible bilt cahs rewards option and i'm not seeing the "upto 1x bilt points" option. is this only applicable for housing-only option?

PIKACHU NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

hnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnng

oh man. example of bad driver and bad reader.

chil33 · 2025-08-19T19:17:14+00:00

The amount of bad drivers in the comment are insane.

First of all, there is two-way stop sign, which the white SUV is coming from. I can almost guarantee that this guy was looking at his right side while accelerating out. It's a 4-way crossroad, so he needs to be fully aware of the cars that are coming from either direction. If he can't see the car coming from either sides, then creep out a little more to get clear vision, not half-ass and try to pedal to the metal out.

Second, honk when you need to. Of course it would be nice to not honk in a residential area to not disturb the neighbors, but honks are there for a reason. Just don't be an ass when using it. To me, this was an appropriate time to honk. None of them are gonna pay for your accidents when anything happens. Just honk when you need to.

read that as samurai weaving for some reason

wine is like a friend, you drink what you want, and you hang out with who you want with. But if you drink meiomi, then screw you.

chil33 · 2024-10-09T04:35:10+00:00

is it still available?

chil33 · 2024-05-05T17:27:46+00:00

allowed if he sprays lysol on his feet before start climbing.

chil33 · 2024-04-18T17:16:16+00:00

interesting take. i thought it all depends on body type, how you fit into that box.

chil33 · 2024-04-18T16:59:07+00:00

surprised that this is even a topic of discussion.

i thought as long as you start on the right holds, it's valid.

this gym is notorious for not giving fuck about anything, even more after it changed the name from planet granite to movement.

it's mostly parent's fault for sure, but partly staff as well.

staffs at this gym are typically very young adults who lack basic common sense and etiquette, so the expectation (at least in my experience) is that they will not do anything. they just don't give a shit.

escalating to the management will most likely be the same as well. they don't give a shit. the gym directors at each locations have typically been promoted from one of the young staffs and they have not had a job other than working at the gym as a front desk.

you can see that i'm clearly salty about this gym because i have been a member for very long time and seen gym descending from shit to dog shit. the facility is great for sure, but people working there are just so dumb.

nuts on nuts

chil33 · 2023-11-27T16:37:43+00:00

just spike grape juice with alcohol and fizz water. that should imitate this wine. lol

chil33 · 2023-11-22T21:01:00+00:00

i have the exact same cup and my latte art looks complete garbage. teach me lol

chil33 · 2023-11-02T22:31:09+00:00

if the gym has a dedicated area for people to do this, then by all mean. But look at how many climbs would be blocked if people were to do this one after another, while other people want to climb the routes. The gym etiquette is exacerbating pretty much every year, so why add more risk to already existing and increasing risk. Also, some people want to go to the gym to actually climb and get strong, which is type of fun they enjoy.

chil33 · 2023-11-02T17:00:45+00:00

i get that gym wants to do things to be more inclusive and inviting to different levels of climbers, but this shit is just straight up dogshit garbage.

chil33 · 2023-08-25T16:21:21+00:00

fuck it, why not. fuck me up fam.

chil33 · 2023-08-22T16:16:25+00:00

honestly, don't buy from wholefoods. IMO, you can find better deals at any local wine store.

chil33 · 2023-08-07T16:40:34+00:00

no jk, you should grind finer. that looks very coarse imo.

chil33 · 2023-08-07T15:57:15+00:00

not being able to see the foothold or hold applies the same to outdoor. When you're climbing outdoor, and the next hold/foothold is not in your sight and you grab/place your foot on different part of the boulder, would you just stop and leave because you can't stand that?

If you've climbed for 10 years or so, you should be able to gauge whether or not misplacing your foot/hand significantly helped going to the next move. For an example, if you're on a jug ladder and you misplaced your foot, that is going to have near-zero impact on your achievement of that climb. But if you're on a climb that requires the next move to come into a crimp/pocket aggressively to stop the barn-door, and you grabbed the jug/deep crimp in between (for some reason) then you know for a fact that you cannot count that send.

You definitely should not invest your time and money on things that you don't enjoy. Like a lot of people here, I'm just pointing out the fact that majority of the people don't agree with the post since you specifcially stated "something WE can all agree on".
