Now I’m picturing someone using a solar panel to power their tanning bed.
There’s a car in that picture? I was too busy looking at the girls.
A friend’s grandfather once told us, “You know you’re old when you see a naked woman ride by on a horse, and you think to yourself, ‘That’s a nice looking horse!’”
I wanted to ask “did the girls come wit the Porsche?”, but thought nah, that’s too skeevy…
I’ve always walked that “borderline skeevy” tightrope.
I’ve reached the stage where I see a woman in a skimpy outfit and wonder what her parents think.
Congratulations to all those Canadians who have been boycotting American liquor. Your efforts have borne fruit.
According to the article, American whiskey sales to Canada are down over 60% up through October. Also the article points out that Bullitt County, KY, where the distillery is located, voted 3-1 in favor of Trump. So the employees there got what they voted for.
[Note the headline of that article implies that Beam will not be produced next year. That’s an invalid implication, since they have more than one distillery and only one is being shut down.]
I been lookin’ for a reason to quit drinkin’ Beam.
Well, sure, they have other distilleries, but…
The Clermont distillery is their main distillery. It’s a major reduction in production for them. More than half, at any rate.
On the other hand, their other distillery in Clermont is a small micro-batch craft operation, so that doesn’t make a whole lot of bourbon by volume and doesn’t employ that many people.
On the gripping hand, their other distillery of any size is in a nearby county that also went 3-1 for Trump.
So yeah, world’s smallest violin
I’ve got a bottle of Beam bourbon in my liquor cabinet. It’s been there for a while, bought and paid for, and I have a glass every now and then. But when it’s gone, I don’t think I’ll replace it. At least, not for a few years.
So bourbon (and whisk[e]y in general) don’t go bad once they’ve been opened, as long as the bottle is resealed after every glass? I know mead needs resealing, vacuum pumps, and refrigeration to protect it from rapid oxidation, and even then it should be consumed within weeks or at most a few months.
They may not “go bad,” but exposure to the air in the bottle, and light (coming through the glass), will cause oxidation and changes to its flavor over time. Especially once a bottle has been opened, the general advice is to finish it within a year or two – if it’s kept sealed, and in the dark, maybe a few years longer than that.
Huh. I did not know that. Mead is a lot less tolerant of slow use after opening, which is a pity for me. There’s an excellent meadery a short distance from where I live, but the quantity per bottle, at my modest level of intake, would take me over a year to get through, and most of it would deteriorate past enjoying.
I mean, did anyone here ever think bourbon wasn’t made by right-wing hillbillies?
A ‘new’ market for the bourbon?
Looks like something Ke$ha should be told about.
We never thought that, but we were willing to tolerate them until they started thinking that exporting US-style hillbillyism to Canada was a good idea.
I’m not sure if this is the right place for this, but you know all those redacted Epstein files that were recently published? Whoever did the reduction at the FBI just laid color blocks over the text, which means you can copy and paste it elsewhere.
If you’re on Bluesky, or presumably Twitter, it’s all being dissected out there. But how fucking stupid can you be? Nelson Muntz has something to say to you.
It’s either, as you say, incredibly stupid… or someone at the FBI has a serious grievance.
So far there’s been no verification that this is valid. In the link from Smapti’s post about this in the other Trump thread, one of the comments was “Can you post another example? This file has been this way since 2022 and, so far, no others have been identified as being readable with this trick (or any others). Pretty sure this isn’t the big smoking gun…” I want it to be true, but I can’t find anything that says it’s real.
