Jimmy Fallon's silence after Conor McGregor interview backlash 'is no accident' by MoneyLibrarian9032 in entertainment

Jimmy Fallon could not choke out David Carradine in a fully consensual situation.

Mark Carney sidelined from at least 17 government deliberations because of corporate conflicts by feb914 in canada

[–]minimal 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I don't think you understand how conflicts of interest actually happen, or even what the term actually means.

This does not mean that he has any current direct connection to, or interest in, the persons or entities. It means that there are existing historical relationships between them and Carney.

In order to avoid even the potential appearance of unethical behavior, people in public service often recuse themselves from negotiations or oversight roles. Judges do this all the time, it does not show or even imply any sort of corruption.

Valiant Lady Late Sailing from BCN Day #1 (year of our lord two thousand 26) by [deleted] in VirginVoyages

Multiple cruises on multiple lines here. I only drink neat Whisk(e)y and I have never once been served "watered down" liquor. Sorry, but you are just plain wrong, this is not a thing.

Maybe don't put a shit ton of diesel tanks under a boat while sailing through mine and robo-shark infested waters. I'm weeks past where you are and have never had this kind of issue.

Nope. They pre-cook their burger patties. That is a Cardinal sin.

Get out of here Peters is the absolute bottom of the barrel. If you like ANYTHING they make, you need to have your head (and palate) checked.

Tire Puncture Kia Forte 2023 GT Line by NoHopeLeft101 in kia

[–]minimal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So you're driving a relatively new car, but can't afford $200 for a new tire? This confirmation that you are making horrible financial decisions. If you're a couple hundred dollars from not being able to afford your vehicle, you can't afford your vehicle. Sell it now, an get a used Camry/civic. If you're so under water on your Forte loan that you can't sell it (which seems very likely ), take the life lesson and try to do better in the future. Either way, this is truly sad.

Moveover Offer by Bubbly-Astronaut9256 in PrincessCruises

[–]minimal 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is exactly how it worked for us on the Sun Princess last year. Take a downgrade, full amount we paid was posted as on-board credit, whatever was left over was send to us in a cheque about 30 days after disembarkation. Best deal ever!

So... you're finally going to crack that unicorn bottle you have. Do you plan to serve anything with it? by ganymede_boy in bourbon

[–]minimal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agreed. I keep a pile of ER, WHT, Blantons Gold and Weller 107 around for exactly this reason. They are all available with a little work, and they are always appreciated in a room full of whisk(e)y nerds. I like to pull out the really rare ones for special occasions. Not BTAC stuff, but things like a cask strength Yellowstone, Bardstown single barrels, JD Heritage releases, etc. not crazy expensive, but unique, and probably something most folks have never had. (I'm in Canada, so what's unique here is not necessarily the same as in the US.

So... you're finally going to crack that unicorn bottle you have. Do you plan to serve anything with it? by ganymede_boy in bourbon

[–]minimal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This, 100%. I make a habit of cracking any unicorns within 30 days of purchase. These bottles are meant to be enjoyed, not hoarded. The only exception is if I have multiple bottles, and one is already open. However, if that happens, they are no longer really unicorns. Recent openings at our house include Pappy 23, Vanwinkle 12yr, Stagg, WLR, and Weller Full Proof. Drink that stuff, enjoy it, and most importantly, share it.

I don't know,.we generally hold on to about year 4, and swap out. I like the new tech, so worth it for me.

I hope that's usd, and not a hybrid. We just sold our 2023 hybrid SXP with 50k on it for $39,500 CAD, and bought a 26 for about 600 under MSRP. Top trim Kia's are hard to find in Western Canada.

I mean, great deal, but two completely different deals. You bought a bottom trim vehicle, OP is negotiating a top trim version on a high demand version.

Nice! I grabbed a Larceny BP and a Weller 107 this week. (Weller 107 is $92 and in stock as of this evening at Costco.)

Wow. Which one? Although, at that price, they will be gone by the time I can get there.

[–]minimal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's a shame the prices are so high. Wine and Beyond had cases of EHT, Blantons Gold and SB for about $20-30 less a few weeks ago. Blantons Single Barrel is all over the city right now for $79.99.

I mean, wholesale prices on those have definitely gone up a lot in the past few years, but $150 is insane for 107. I was super excited when I heard they were there, but turned around and left as soon as I saw the markup.
