  1. Good point although at $75-$100 that’s a damned fine bottle of wine.
  2. Italy is a good choice because they also make daily drinkers from the high end grapes. Nebbiolo, Sangiovese etc. plus there are so many varietals. If you do second and third growth French there are some really good values as well. California not so much to me for the daily drinkers but they are some out there though the ones I like for that purpose seem to be more in the $50-$60 range. Like you said maybe it’s a bit of the wine snob coming out in me. There’s a Grattamacco Bolgheri Rosso you can get around $30. It’s the daily drinker from a very well known Super Tuscan producer. They’re really good people too. We toured the vineyard in 2018. For a great Vino Nobile di Montepulciano try Dei. Again around $30 and a really good example.
  3. I have more put in quotes right now than our enter revenue in 2020. If they start hitting we’re going to experience a new level of growth in 2021. Fingers crossed that it comes in and fingers doubly crossed that we can handle the growth and maintain our standards and reputation.
  4. $6700 and he didn’t pick Noctua fans. Shame, shame.

    Twice as much as you spent on gear. Gotta fix that ratio soon. 😃

    Discogs, Amazon are good places to start

    I hope that didn't come across as harsh. It's just something you'll quickly outgrow if you have any interest in listening to music vinyl.
  8. Nice. Anywhere close to retail?
  9. Some nice wines. Terrible storage. I’d be worried some of them are cooked.
  10. I’m doing a Mini-itx build for my office. I paid a small premium to get a 5600x. I have a GeForce 780ti Classified I’m going to put in it until I can find a 3060. The case can only handle an 11” long gpu and as you all know the 3060 is nowhere to be found along with its kin. I have a couple of 1080ti hybrids but they’re too long for the case.
  11. Exactly. My system plays loud as fuck if I want to crank it up. Then again it’s pushes 300 watts into my 6 ohm speakers.

    Well, that won’t break the bank. When you want to step up (and you should) look at U-Turn turntables and an integrated amp. When it comes to speakers you should go and listen. No offense but you aren’t going to get much resolution from that setup.
  13. I’ve been on a search for inexpensive very high quality wines. Don’t get me wrong I love the more expensive stuff but I also don’t feel like opening those bottles on nights when I just want a couple glasses of wine. I like to save the really good stuff for special occasions. What are your personal favorites for under $30 or so a bottle? I’ll start with Vietti. $25 a bottle and a fresh Barbera D’Asti that’s ready to drink now. I’m a huge Italian wine fan so my contributions will lean that way. This is a great bottle for the price.
  14. He ate his own bullet.
  15. Ohio State and Alabama have 8 of the top 12 in the top 247 with JTT still to commit. Insane. For 2022 Ohio State has as many top 50 recruits as the rest of the country combined at this point.
  16. Oh, they’re definitely in cahoots. Since childhood.
  17. We were approved this past weekend and funded yesterday. Maclovio is the man.
  18. I finally watched The Social Dilemna. If you haven't watched it you need to. When you read the Cloak Room and some of the topics in Daily Texan (riot threads) you'll realize just how much people are being influenced and polarized against each other with social media at the center of the problem. It was a powerful show.
  19. For federal government work it's 51%. My wife is half Cuban so we get both.
  20. The US government says yes.
  21. The big international banks have been fucking things up for a long time. Read about the kid in Malaysia who bilked them out of billions. This story as it unfolds is going to be a very interesting read. The book about the Malaysian is called Billion Dollar Whale. It will make your head spin.
  22. We should be right behind you then. Mac got us in Friday early.
  23. Maclovio and cabowabo. You guys hanging in there?
