I have to say I was delighted at the end "Saltburn" when Irish studpuppy Barry Keoghan dropped trou and gave an occasional full-frontal showing of all his glory at the end of the film. Although the film left me with more questions than answers, Barry's dance through the manor house was (almost) worth the price of admission.
 
It's time for more male full-frontal without prosthetics (looking at you, Taylor Zakhar Perez) in Hollywood films.  Who's with me???

It is generally correct that you use the wine you would usually drink, but for a non-wine drinker, this would be an issue.  The best thing to do in this case is use the "body" of the wine to make the determination.  Light whites are generally best with light dishes; fuller bodied wines for heavier/richer dishes.  For example:
Light reds are pinot noirs, gamays, and grenache.
Medium bodied reds include Sangiovase, many Merlots, and cabernet Franc.
Full bodied reds like Cabernet Sauvignon, Tempranillo, and Malbec.
Light whites include pinot grigio and sauvignon blanc.
Medium bodied whites like chardonnays and rieslings.
Full bodied include Semillions and Gewurztraminers.
If it were me and I had little knowledge of wine and also didn't drink it (Heaven forbid!), I would stick to recipes that include the type of wine in the ingredient list.  This with the knowledge that the recipe has been tested and the appropriate wine flavor profile is established in the dish. 
Also, another poster mentioned using cooking wine.  If that is to the individual's taste, go for it.  However, you should be aware that there is often a lot of sodium in cooking wines and this can completely change the taste of the dish you're using it in, not to mention the health issues high sodium can affect.

OMG...When I lived in NYC metro I used to say something similar, especially when slowed by a group of tourists walking six abreast down a street near Times Square.  "Thanks for your money, now go the fuck home." 😝

As long as I have a face, he has place to sit.

As a type 2 diabetic, I have issues with prescribing these drugs solely for weight loss.  I've been on full dose Ozempic for about four months now.  I got no appetite suppression benefit for the first few weeks I was on the drug because of high triglycerides (because of uncontrolled glucose).  Pancreatitis can result on full dose (2mg) with high triglycerides.  Once under control, I was prescribed full dose Ozempic and about a week or so after starting at full dose, my appetite did a Titanic.  When I would eat out, I was so used to ordering as I had for years that I would end up ordering too much.  Don't get me wrong, I was hungry when I sat down to eat, but after a few bites, it was all over.  I lost about nine or ten pounds.  Then, partially as a result of prescribing to non-diabetics for weight loss, pharmacies started experiencing chronic shortages.  A month and a half ago, none of the pharmacies in my network could get ANY Ozempic.  I was out for ten days.  When I got back on the Ozempic, my body had apparently developed a tolerance for the drug, and the appetite suppression effect was over.  My pharmacist said, "your body just got used to it."
 
I understand the battle of the bulge.  I have always had mine.  Ozempic was a miracle.  The miracle, for me however, didn't last and is unlikely to happen again.  Fortunately, the drug still helps me keep my numbers in check.  My last a1c at below 7.5 was the best number I have had since I was diagnosed.  Folks...please...I know these drugs really cut into your hunger, but keep in mind that they are drugs for controlling diabetes first and foremost, and because they are over prescribed and off-label there ARE shortages.  Give some thought to other people who have a chronic, potentially body destroying condition before you commit to one of these drugs and you aren't diabetic.  We'd appreciate it.

If you are privy to it, please tell me what Olly's motivation was.  I either missed it in the dialogue or it just went over my head.

I interpreted that last line as literal.  If so, isn't that a little exterme?  Your sole reason for moving across the country was to get away from your cousin?

Just found a SAGAFTRA Foundation vid on YouTube that has eight of the actors on a talk presentation.  Morgan Spector is wearing a tight, black mock turtleneck, and may I be permitted an ungentlemanly, ***DAY-YUM!!!*** man is built like a brick shithouse...who knew!?!?!?! See for yourself...

Well...according to Wikipedia:
Green eyes probably result from the interaction of multiple variants within the OCA2 and other genes. They were present in south Siberia during the Bronze Age.[45]
Green eyes are most common in Northern, Western and Central Europe.[46][47] Around 8–10% of men and 18–21% of women in Iceland and 6% of men and 17% of women in the Netherlands, have green eyes.[48] Among European Americans, green eyes are most common among those of recent Celtic and Germanic ancestry with about 16%.[48]
The green color is caused by the combination of: 1) an amber or light brown pigmentation in the stroma of the iris (which has a low or moderate concentration of melanin) with: 2) a blue shade created by the Rayleigh scattering of reflected light.[26] Green eyes contain the yellowish pigment lipochrome.[49]
Actually, according to the same article, the blue-eyed mutation came to Europe about 50,000 years ago, rather than 6,000 to 10,000.
 

In case you hadn't heard, about 7,000 to 10,000 years ago, somewhere in northern Europe, an ancestor had a genetic anomaly that prevented his (or her) eyes from turning brown.  Fast forward quite a few centuries and we find that all of us blues are descended from a common ancestor.  So, hello to all my cousins near and far.  Your turn to do the family holidays this year, right? 😛

No one says "Merry Christmas" in NYC. It's always "Happy Holiday"...which I don't really mind because half my friends aren't Christian anyway.

I personally can't stand the taste of ham, and it doesn't agree with my digestive system anyway. My sister (the twice divorced size queen / lousy chef) REFUSES to ever have turkey when she hosts Thanksgiving. She hosts, so she chooses the entrees. Extended family over the years has either passed away, or found a more ideal set of people to enjoy the day. Mashed potatoes with hot mustard mixed in, spicy rolls, and those frozen ice cream cones with the crappy nuts on top for dessert.
She prohibits others from bringing their own dish. That came to and end when heads butted eons ago when our father brought actual, delicious homemade mashed potatoes which everyone (except my sister) thoroughly enjoyed.
If the food isn't bad enough, she always puts on gory war movies at full blast. Incredibly unacceptable with those who have small children, but she could care less. Every year it's the same - "Isn't there a football game, parade, or something else to see, please?" Nope.

Doesn’t seem as if ‘force’ would be necessary @White Hall 😎

I hope you had a nice view as you held the ladder while he squeezed up into the attic.
