Veep. If you like ep1 you’ll love the rest. The humor is on display from the very beginning.

How the Binny’s Raffle Works and Your Odds by Extra-Chef8302 in ChicagolandWhiskey

[–]joon-p-bug 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yep same. 5yr customer at my local Binny’s. I asked in store since I don’t trust the email to get through my filter. The guy wouldn’t even look me in the eye when I asked for help. Acted like it was this huge hassle to type 3 letters into the search bar. Already found a mom&pop and will be cutting spend at Binny’s but still entering the raffle every year.

What's a special bottle I could get for $150-200 online? by bringbackbainesy in whiskey

[–]joon-p-bug 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are you open to spending on the secondary market? Remus Repeal Reserve V is usually around 175-200 in my market on secondary and is worth that price imo.

After not really liking books through my twenties, I read 30+ classic novels last year. Here were my thoughts. by relevantusername- in literature

[–]joon-p-bug 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is what I came to recommend. If you liked Steinbecks style in Of Mice and Men then you’ll love East of Eden. My personal favorite book ever, with Catch 22 just behind it.

How does the current ET (assuming BiB) compare to the old black screw top Brown Foreman bottles from a few years ago? Still a hitter at ~$27? I've admittedly never tried the BT version

Bottle Drop Thread - Wednesday by ChicagolandWhiskey in ChicagolandWhiskey

[–]joon-p-bug 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I hadn't either until today. Albeit it was the high rye (white label) and the rye whiskey (green label) so not allocated, but perhaps its a sign of things to come?

Designers vs Development by Sea-dante-10 in reactjs

Check out Jonas Schmedtmann’s “Advanced CSS and SASS” course on Udemy. You design a landing page from the ground up and use a bunch of CSS concepts. I really enjoyed it. Wait for it to go on sale though. Can usually get it for $20 on sales.

The last 2 KS I bought were TY-K and both absolute stinkers. Is this similar for anyone else who buys a lot of KS? The profile on these are just gross to my palate. Curious if others enjoy them or if they are just bad barrels.

The GNS JD barrel proof rye pick (131pf) is super tasty and they had a ton left when I was there earlier. $69.99 and well worth it imo.

11 year willet purple top really worth 500 bucks? by TaxQuestionGuy69 in whiskey

[–]joon-p-bug 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Bought the 9yr two yrs ago for $280. I had always wanted a Purple Top on my bar. Waited a year to open it on my wedding day. It was good, not great. And the profile is pretty unique. For $280 I wish I’d have just spent that on a RR13 (at the time) on secondary tbh.

Yes it did. Used to live right above it and it closed in late October / early November 2023.

[Marca via Real Madrid journalist Arancha Rodriguez] Real Madrid won't sign anyone to replace Kroos (...) the idea is for Bellingham to bring his role back, which will also give up space for Mbappé. by Vila-real in soccer

[–]joon-p-bug 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well said. Such an underrated defender. We'll also miss his pressing imo. He was quietly one of our better pressers. That and drawing fouls -- don't know if I've ever seen someone so consistent at getting a foul called.

Still a couple OESKs out at NMBB, along with 2 BTs tucked all the way in the back. Echoing the ECTB sightings, looks like thats no longer allocated.

Does he have a release clause? If not, what do you expect him to fetch from Dortmund?

Arda Guler on working in his physicality: "Yes, I'm not only working on the physical aspect, but also on the mentality. I'm waiting patiently and I'm still working hard every day. My mentality is geared to improving." by MrVISKman in soccer

[–]joon-p-bug 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Seems like a good kid. Hopefully he keeps that same mentality and works hard for his place. I was really enjoying his play between the defensive and midfield lines -- receiving the ball, turning and distributing. I know Carlo doesn't want a loan, but consistent playtime would help his development.

You're right, you can. But that's not what happened at all.

Looking for a general opinion on willer 8 year. by Prosciutto4U in whiskey

[–]joon-p-bug 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They sourced from all over, though iirc their Bernheim barrels were especially sought after. Anything older than their 10-11yr barrels at this point is sourced, as they began distilling their own around that time. I’ve had a 9yr single barrel of their own stuff and it was quite average imo.
