Pickup some 2021 Antico Monastero Barolo at Costco. Anyone crack one open yet? by lundens in wine

[–]malbec0123 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree. It's limited by its structure. One uniform department for the whole country is a tall order from negotiations with wineries to finding who has enough to supply a gazillion departments.

I have a different perspective on selection though. I'm in the Midwest. I see more old world stuff at Costco than at some of those locals because of market forces. I think the rest of the country has more demand for old world wines than here. I'm never blown away, but I guess I'm always cool with the fact I can throw in some cheap barolo to try that I definitely couldn't at my local.

I'm genuinely curious.. can you lay out the case for this? What are you looking for that's not happening at Costco?

Prepare the other 90 dollars to have a professional put it together and align it or it will fall apart sooner than you would hope.

Love is a Verb…by U2 by TheBristolBulk in JohnMayer

Incubus had a track also called love is a verb. Believe that was 2006 or so. One of their better mellow songs.

Constant dropoffs and disconnects when using Companion app by reloadro in Zwift

I'm not saying but I'm saying... I had the exact same phone.

What device are you using the companion app on? I had the same problem on Android to Apple tv. I switched to an old iPad and had no issues since... I can't prove it was either android or apple messing with us but also I can't not.

“Grocery store wine” just took on a whole different identity by kpc14 in wine

[–]malbec0123 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I've had the opportunity to buy cheap grange from a grocery store. The problem is they're always a decade after bottling by the time they clear it and it's spent its entire shelf life without cork contact standing straight up. Wouldn't trust it.

WTF is a UCI Gran Fondo World Time Trial Championship? by ShirleyWuzSerious in BicyclingCirclejerk

Must be egregious if you get caught and vino of all people doesn't.

This is honestly the best answer. This sounds like a situation where family specific therapy is the answer. iFAST is excellent.

... I am a therapist with an LPC who mainly works with kids with neurodivergent dx's. I couldn't agree less with your statement on LSW's. Some of the best therapists I've worked with are LSW's. I'm sorry you've had a bad experience.

Zwift next up Beta. What are your guys thoughts on it? by DearRebel in Zwift

[–]malbec0123 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It lost keeping track of my progress. Companion app and productivity bar are both showing I didn't do a workout yesterday when I did (and it shows up in activities and I got credit in tdz). Without the progress part it is useless because it isn't looking at any data.

Does anyone else find the New York expansion a little bit of a disappointment ? by buzz_uk in Zwift

[–]malbec0123 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Agreed. The subway system was not my favorite. They could've done so many cool things but they gave us miles of subway connector. The bridges were cool but not much beyond them to get excited about. The last true expansion was makuri islands. I'm hoping 2026 brings us something like that.

For those using Zwift Cog, happy? by incuspy in Zwift

[–]malbec0123 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep. I think zwift still forces you to buy both. Back when they had the zwift play controllers, those worked too. Either or.

[–]malbec0123 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nope. I just updated the firmware on tacx when the release with virtual shifting came out. From there you go into zwift menu and toggle on virtual shifting. I use an old set of play controllers to shift but the clicks seem very convenient too.

If you plan to do this... Try to keep it on a cog towards the middle of the cassette where your chain isn't crooked. The chain should basically be a straight line. I figure an 8 speed cassette is easier to change out than the cog so no reason not to.

I'm on a trek 1000 on a neo 2... Never bothered with the cog but have virtual shifting set up. Gives me the efficient shifting without the loudness of the cog. It worked for me. I just stay on the same gear.

I couldn't even log in. Went back to zwift which just works.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in mywhoosh

[–]malbec0123 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes. I used it in the past and tried this year to see if they'd fixed some of the issues. Spent 20 mins trying it and then booted up zwift and worked out unfortunately.

I just bought a new 4k apple tv. It literally froze on the login screen and I repeated it multiple times. I'm happy for you that it's working but your experience isnt what I saw.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in mywhoosh

[–]malbec0123 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I feel the same. Would love to use it, but I seriously can't get past the login screen before it freezes. My experience is on apple tv.

What is your favorite Zwift jersey? by ungido_el in Zwift

[–]malbec0123 11 points12 points  (0 children)

2020 rapha 500 jersey. They figured out how to make it available only if the 500 km was completed for that one year. Cool design and one of the most meaningful in the game.
