The Isolated Blurt Thread

[Spins]

We really dislike when publishers change the sizing of their books.

Don't they know my OCD requires the books to be the same size so they look good on my shelf!?!

I don't need them to be the exact same size but I want them in standard sizing so they match other books and it's easier to plan for.

Indeed!

I have journals that doubled in size. They need separate shelves. Outrageous/!

Thanks...I was brought up the same way, but it's frustrating working with this day in and day out.

I get to fire those people.

You dont understand the actual volume until you visit a serious winery, or what I more think of, a dairy farm.

Boutique wineries still mostly barrel their stock but yeah.

And I know, I'm just amusing myself with your clip. I actually bet a bottle of wine today against a game tomorrow, and realised that I have multiple wines 'in storage' cept for the rubber corks.

But if you dont finish a bottle, you make food that could use it.

I have visited a serious winery or two. I've seen the huge casks, the wooden tanks, etc. Nothing at home is over 1.5 liters except an old bottle of some rock gut that my mom left when she died.

A mate of mine's mother died, and we went through a closet of ye olde wines.... whites turned to vinegar, the reds were varying from great to dead... but there was dessert wines as well, no idea what was good or bad... botyris infused, late harvest whites...

We drank part of one. A red.

It tasted awesome as soon as the bottle was opened and then turned to vinigar in 5 minutes.

Have you seen the prices/insanity for certain vintages? And if you 'win' its 150,000 a glass. And if you lose, it is that, but it tastes worse than gutter water.

 

[Radiohead]

Actually, the number one thing, was just trying to get the corks out without it going to bits... so, that was the number one option of stoppers working out whether it was usable or not.

I don't really look.

Yes, getting the corks out is the hardest job.

Thinking about it.

What booze does Alaska produce, and is that the natives making something?

There's a bunch of micro breweries about. Many very good ones.

We have a couple of distilleries close by. Alaska Distillery makes some kick-ass vodkas and the water used is all from glacier ice. Their whiskey isn't bad, but could use more time in the barrel.

There are a couple of places that make mead and a couple of very good cider places.

Some wine, but it's berry wine and not from grapes. It's okay.

I meant more eskimo booze, though I'm pretty sure eskimo's arent local.

They are all over the place. (Just an observation)

Alcohol and the native populous do not get along well. It's all fun and games until bad things happen. Many outlying villages are "local-option" where either importation or sale of alcohol is banned. Generally, a dry village is a happy village.

There's always someone out there fermenting a bunch of berries or moonshining. But, I don't know of any traditional alcohol.

92 but feels like 104 - yes, yes it does :drip:

Waiting, waiting...nap!

There's a storm coming.....and it's so hot that I might stand outside and enjoy it.
