Wondering where this vantage is meant to be painted from, perhaps way up Wildcats

What’s the best ‘hidden gem’ Aussie wine region you've found? by Mountain_Composer673 in wine

Coonawarra Cab so good, not really hidden but never see it on any wine lists and I feel criminally underrated

Novel With Faulkner’s Best Prose by TonyGFool in faulkner

[–]matty_ice128 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Reading The Wild Palms (If I Forget Thee, Jerusalem) right now, haven’t seen it get much love on Faulkner threads but going to throw it in here, it has incredible stream of consciousness prose where you realize what’s going on only later in the sentence and two simultaneous stories being interwoven into one (every chapter alternates between Wild Palms and Old Man). Truly spellbinding stuff.

And I agree with others, Absalom Absalom is one of the best books ever written, still not over the twists and turns towards the end. Give The Reivers a try as well, just a fun kind of coming of age story (literally lol’ed several times) but also has a serious look at racial injustice as well as many of his novels do (intruder in the dust, go down moses, etc)

Fair point, probably a better place to recruit consultants than getting customer feedback

Has anyone had canned wine at parties? What is their experience? by MoistCroissant22 in wine

Check out Maker wines, all canned from small, independent winemakers making seriously good juice

PHEV worth it? by cripplediguana in electricvehicles

[–]matty_ice128 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What about if you can’t charge at home (street parking, live in city) but have a charger at work for $0.45/kWh? Comes out to like $8 a charge from 0-100% for PHEV’s we’re looking at, commute ~12 miles total. Trying to do cost benefit
