lol just kidding - sorry typical West coaster here - and I've only been here for 3 years.

How long are you going for at top speed on the treadmill? The treadmills at the UBC gym I think max out at like 16 mph, which is like world record time for a mile.

The fact that it did not meet my expectations in terms of flavour and my posting of it as a first world problem means I have some degree of "taste" now doesn't it?

 

But yeah, wine is good.

 

I had a wine related first world problem recently. I had a decent bottle of zinf (45$ or so) that was supposed to be drank between 2006-2011. Now I'm thinking maybe it wasn't as good as it should have been because I drank it in 2012... I don't know how those things work. If it's in a sealed bottle, does the quality degrade somehow? Why would it have a best drank before xxxxxxxxxx date?

hey i cant pretend to have taste, my go to wine is 11 bucks for a 3 litre jug

i exude pure class

(i also really like rieslings)

but yeah some wines are best at a certain age, beyond which they break down in various sciencey ways and get less yummy

zin is one of them iirc

The absolute cheapest wine I've ever had was this shit this south african friend of mine would bring to beach parties in cornwall. 99p for a 1L tetrapak of spanish rotgut.

Even the BC liquor board in Victoria should have some cheap piss yekkers. I picked up a liter bottle of something for 6 dollars.

true, what IS the deal with them?

here, it goes down to about 2 bucks for a bottle of white wine (lowest, lowest shelf). drink more than two bottles of that and you'll need a Rennies IV for the heartburn the next morning.

red wine makes your tongue black?

I have never experienced this. I guess I'm not drinking enough red wine =(

Got a HTC One X last Thursday, but the mail client isn't pushing for e-mails. It only works when I actively refresh by entering the program.

It's not a huge problem, and might actually make me more productive and less phone-addicted... but yeah.

A friend of mine, his lips go dark purple after two glasses of wine.

As for single malt scotch *-shudder-* drink for children and rich people with no taste.

well the guy spent 90 bucks on rum

so

i kind of figured the latter category

 

i p much just drink wine anymore anyway

this is the correct usage of anymore and the modern conflation of anymore and "any more" bothers me, even though I sometimes write anymore when I mean any more.

FML

maybe you're right but i'm pretty sure you're not and that strange use of anymore is dialect an area of the USA

after some research i'm pretty sure you might be right

Let's not pretend that American usage has to be exactly the same as UK usage, anymore.

dictionary just says 'US for any more'.. which doesn't help if there's supposedly a difference

The US dictionaries just suggest consulting the Bible instead, because of the fall of Babel or Satan or something, America fuck yeah.

Edit: I actually don't know; my former nazi prescriptivist teachers were often clearly wrong

I don't understand the conversation, anymore.

found an awesome house, had bid accepted, went to inspection and now waiting on estimates for repairs which will determine whether we'll actually buy it or not. i'd be absolutely heart broken if i lost this house (which will happen if the sellers refuse to do repairs), i'm sure the kony children can relate to this.
