/c/TenForward: Your home-away-from-home for all things Star Trek!

Re-route power to the shields, emit a tachyon pulse through the deflector, and post all the nonsense you want. Within reason of course.

~ 1. No bigotry. This is a Star Trek community. Remember that diversity and coexistence are Star Trek values. Any post/comments that are racist, anti-LGBT, or generally "othering" of a group will result in removal/ban.

~ 2. Keep it civil. Disagreements will happen both on lore and preferences. That's okay! Just don't let it make you forget that the person you are talking to is also a person.

~ 3. Use spoiler tags. This applies to any episodes that have dropped within 3 months prior of your posting. After that it's free game.

~ 4. Keep it Trek related. This one is kind of a gimme but keep as on topic as possible.

~ 5. Keep posts to a limit. We all love Star Trek stuff but 3-4 posts in an hour is plenty enough.

~ 6. Try to not repost. Mistakes happen, we get it! But try to not repost anything from within the past 1-2 months.

~ 7. No General AI Art. Posts of simple AI art do not 'inspire jamaharon'

~ 8. No Political Upheaval. Political commentary is allowed, but please keep discussions civil. Read here for our community's expectations.

Fun will now commence.

My mom told me wine went bad and I legitimately thought once you opened it you had to finish the bottle

[–] b34k@lemmy.world 11 points 2 days ago

Well yeah, even 24 hours later it picks up and oxidized flavor (port-like) and becomes a shadow of its former glory. So no, it’s not gonna get you sick, but you should definitely finish it the night you open it for maximum enjoyment.

Wine does go bad. Vodka does not.

[–] ummthatguy@lemmy.world 8 points 3 days ago (2 children)

I mean, it does have a shelf life once opened.

[–] FuglyDuck@lemmy.world 8 points 3 days ago

that's when you use it for cooking!

granted, I probably opened the bottle for cooking to begin with. I'm not very good at the whole alcoholic thing.

Eight months before my grandfather passed, I bought a bottle of chateau Picard. I thought since he liked TNG and wine, he’d share it with me. Wasn’t to his liking. He told me to finish it fast. By the end of the week it tasted awful.

EDIT: There was sediment at the bottom of the bottle which formed.

[–] acockworkorange@mander.xyz 2 points 2 days ago

Sediment isn't an indicator of quality. It's OK for even very fine wine to have some, they are usually tanins that crystallize. The only way to really tell wine quality is serving it.

The flavor is noticeably worse after just a few hours

[–] acockworkorange@mander.xyz 2 points 2 days ago

Good wine improves flavor in the first hour. And maintains for longer too.
