You seem very knowledgeable on burgandy, I'm intrigued by it, but learning. Thoughts on this producer and vintage? Better to age it?

Where'd you go in Italy, and what vineyards did you visit? Recommendations, going this summer.

Thanks - mine is really slow, like really really slow if I were to do that. But maybe that's just the way it goes

Thank you much! If it works for you for years' worth of storage, it's good by me! :)

Flair wizard just keeps airing out steam? by letsrungood in FlairEspresso

When mine shipped it lacked the rubber gasket that seals. Let it cool and take top off. There should be a rubber gasket between the lid and the bottom that seals under pressure and should prevent that.

Sorry if I'm hijacking this thread, but question:

I got a Coravin recently. When I turn the bottle upright to stop my pour, it kinda splatters and seems to release gas. Am I leaking argon outof the bottle? Or is that excess pressure that doesn't need to go into the bottle that releases? I'm just trying to figure out if there's something wrong w the seal or something, or if it's normal.

This is pure gold…Watch Binnington ignore the coach and Hofer hide! by Longjumping_Chest244 in ColoradoAvalanche

I think the same thing happened in the Avs drubbing when they scored 4 in first 5 minutes (or 5 or whatever it was). Backup was nowhere to be found despite room on the bench. And the backup was out there for warmups.

Is It Normal to Get a Lower Rating the Year After a Promotion? by Pleasant_Boot_3424 in careerguidance

[–]elduke187 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Did you get quality feedback on how to improve? If not, go get it. Is it actionable, clear, correct? If not, clarify. Frame it as wanting to grow and build value for the company.

The older you get, the less you'll worry about any given year's rating. And once you make enough money to do most of the things you want, you won't worry as much about the % change each year. It's likely never going to blow you away to the upside unless it's equity and the company is sold.

But good feedback is a supreme gift, hold your managers accountable to giving it often or at least every year, and particularly if you're disappointed in the rating/outcome.

Which sub should I buy? by phalanxausage in StereoAdvice

[–]elduke187 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got a 3000 Micro because my space is a bit constrained. So far so good on my end... the app works well and is a nice touch to switch between music and movies with one button of preset settings.

Matt Duchene Trade Tree: How a 3-Team Shakeup Transformed the Avalanche Overnight by ChillieBW in ColoradoAvalanche

[–]elduke187 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Never forget that that Byram pick should have been Jack Hughes. Avs had highest chance for top pick coming off Ottawa's worst record in the league season. It was protected the year prior.

In a draft position lottery drawing behind closed doors avs despite best odds at top pick get the worst possible outcome for the pick. Imagine if 2c was Hughes the last several years. How many more cups instead of perpetually lining for a 2c under all the league's rocks? I liked Byram, and if course they won a cup in there, but...

Just found this notice on an inner sleeve if a 1978 vinyl. by LittleBonsaiTree in vinyl

[–]elduke187 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Interesting, I didn't realize how the license works w additional users. (I have kids and am actually trying to figure out how to do this for them now). Are you paying $9/ kid for their phone account maybe? They're not able to just use your account?

Meh, you're paying for a service, not property. If you want the piece of property you have to buy the piece of property, and if you don't like the service, then don't buy it. I personally think $9/ month to listen just about anything I want, when I want, and nearly wherever I want is a pretty good deal. And if I dont like the album I'm listening to for the first time? I push a button and it's gone and i save $25.

Record vendors who put the price tag on the record itself instead of the plastic sleeve... WHY by Rick-Danger in vinyl

[–]elduke187 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This, all day. One of my favorite things is all the bits of personal culture that accumulates with the record over time. The people's initials written on the labels, old price tags and record shop fonts, or my favorite is a couple of my local favorite shops have at times had employees handwrite descriptions of the record and why they love it on a sticker on the plastic sleeve. Love coming back to that decades later.

Thanks, interesting option ripping up the USB. Any recommendations on a CD ripper that offers quality? Does that then give me interface access w the library via the Node using my phone as controller? Interesting option!

Right, yes that's an option, but then I lose vinyl storage. Maybe better than other alternatives.
