  1. Hell yeah brother. How was it? Guiberteau is sometimes way too reduced.
  2. Lambert > Boudignon imo
  3. Well this is definitely not the wine thread.
  4. Second all of this. Spent a solid year recovering from a bulged disc. Regardless of what the issue is, the solution is pretty basic. It’s mostly lifestyle: stay on your feet, focus on posture, and above all, sleep hygiene (how old is your mattress? Do you rotate it quarterly?). Oh, and sleep with a pillow under your legs, not your back like someone else said - that can overextend your back. The rest is exercise: core and posterior chain work. I think McKenzie stretches are more for disc issues, but I still do them every day after.
  5. Some real close combat footage here, two Russians get dropped at close range. Also someone in the comments pointed out this looks a lot like another video from a Russian drone released a few days ago - crazy if true.
  6. There is virtually no chance you weren’t using the term “freedom fries” twenty years ago.
  7. Guessing he’s referring to Donetsk airport.
  8. The guys falling off are actually get shot by UA troops on the near side of the road - pretty incredible footage.
  9. To be clear, I’m not the guy who dropped in and asked if it was a stalemate. I just said that wasn’t a dumb question if you follow major news outlets because their reporting lags as they verify - certainly you’re not arguing against not believing everything you read?
  10. It’s really not clear though. There’s a ton of speculation on social media about Russian losses and personally I got worn out sifting through it a while ago. The WaPo article I linked has accounts of 5 UA casualties for every RU in Kherson, so I’m going to go with cautious optimism until we get more verified details. I obviously get what you’re saying, but at the same time all the memes and humor can sometimes obfuscate the situation - June was a absolutely bleak, for example, but if you read this thread and this Rolling Stone account of the Luhansk front you’d think you were reading about two different conflicts.
  11. It wasn’t that stupid of a question. I really just limit myself to NYT, BBC, etc. They’ve been fairly quiet on counteroffensive coverage so far given the difficulty to verify anything, but early reports (like this incredible reporting from WaPo) indicate costly but measured progress, not a mass routing back to Moscow. And the two months before the offensive were certainly described as a stalemate. I don’t think people casually following this are picking up on the potential developments from Twitter.
  12. The mainstream US media?
  13. Yeah but Reddit is calling BS on that, way too nice of a kit on him. Also the front row got fucked up. Some brutal footage coming out today. Russians getting shelled crossing a pontoon bridge on the Dnieper. Apparently the dude speaking was praying to avoid just that
  14. Blackouts in San Francisco. Jesus.
  15. Arpepe?
  16. Vincey imo.
  17. Yes, I think so. Abstinence as a policy approach didn’t work with AIDS (or COVID either). Little puzzled by the insinuation on this thread that the gays don’t care - was at a coworker’s bday in the Castro last weekend and it was all they talked about. Folks are waiting nine hours in line for a shot and not using communal laundry. Really just a matter of vaccine supply.
  18. La Onda, IMO. Have had three bottles of this and Dani’s cab/Syrah blend is the most memorable wine I’ve had this year. Epic for only 13%. Sky, old school mountain zin. Grower champagne, imo.
  19. BUY IT ALL.
  20. One of the great things about the Italian wine scene is that natural winemaking techniques and indigenous varietals have always been around. COS, Arpepe, etc are legends and still influential today. I don’t really focus on grapes, but Pelaverga has become a hot varietal among the somm set as a grape very expressive of Piedmont but for good value. Look for Burlotto, Scarpa and Verduno.
