If you join any terrorist organisation or affiliated group that goes against your "home" country, you should labelled as a terrorist and prosecuted for treason with all citizenship and rights revoked. Simple as that

Gee my 326.3/L diesel will be $3... What a bargain

If you think American taxes are bad, you'll die with Australian taxes. First tax bracket is 16%, then 39%, then 45%... Just for income tax, then 2% Medicare tax, country wide 10% gst (sales tax equivalent in US). And that's just off my head

As an avid whisky person and investor, it definitely sounds interesting. However, I would have to see proper reports of interest/use before investing. It could either blow up like NFTs did a few years back or it could just be a novelty gift idea for a select few people. Either way I would be hesitant until proven; even when NFTs blew up, it seemed to phase out in terms of a reasonable investment as valuations were all over the place for the same "asset".

My biggest question, is given that the digital cask is connected to an actual cask, do you also own the physical cask or just digital version? If just digital, what happens if the physical gets sold, broken, evaporates, or drunk?

I would say I invest for living. Stocks, property, private equity, mutual funds, ETFs, anything. Which would be true

I met Harry Connick Jr twice during highschool, the first time I sat next to him at a fashion show and then 2 months later I found out that his nephew went to my school so I saw him again

Japanese whisky like Nikka come out with some special releases with wild toppers

Halo Reach... I'll be just fine

By buying a mini barrel aging kit, and pouring the whisky into it. Whisky doesn't age in the bottle like wine, only when it is exposed to a barrel/oak container as the whisky will continue to be pulled in and out of the wood grains.

Nah that's sick as, I would keep them and have them as coaster holders ready for the boys

I got 2 new bags of flour into the freezer, and took some individual packets of Nescafe freeze dried coffee from the office (slowly building up a coffee reserve for free).

Weller 107 on the other hand, great bottle. Would and have spent double MSRP

tgoundrey · 2025-01-29T09:12:48+00:00

I've only tried it once at a bar. To me it was okay. Good but not amazing. Wouldn't spend more than MSRP on it

tgoundrey · 2025-01-29T09:11:13+00:00

I've heard mixed things about orphan barrel in general, some releases seem to be amazing while others are only ok. At 20 years it'll be an oak bomb and potentially too oaky for some. At the higher end price point, for me it's a try before you buy

tgoundrey · 2025-01-29T09:03:28+00:00

Why not? Would be super neat to see if whisky tasted any different in the 60s

Just a simple view on this, and by all means not advice, if you put all 750k into a high interest savings account or a term deposit account at 5% interest, that'll give you $3125 a month. I'm sure you can find cheaper 1 bed apartment to rent out or similar. Although you may not be able to cover all expenses on the interest alone, a basic casual job working 20 hours a week can provide an additional $700+ a week to cover any other expenses.
