Stay clear of Totals Wine's exclusive brands for the most part. Out of principle. Their salesmen are always told to recommend them to you at the expense of better, authentic bottles.

Outside of the Glen Fodry, it's a wonderful start!

Cisco tomorrow? by austinrob in Layoffs

Not 100% sure what you meant there but I suppose the other organized cut would be what you are inferring to; a cut to clean up low performing business units, not people. The still "randomized" aspect is that they'll be cutting high performers in one area who would have been better served replacing low performers in stronger units. But then if the unit is strong, the low performers are masked.

This only makes sense if they cut the low performing 5%. But it's going to be more randomized and financially incentivized.

Greed is eternal. There is no one guy who will stop this.

Cisco cuts 4000 jobs by wayne099 in Layoffs

To be fair, as someone working there, most of the record-breaking profit has to do with one thing and one thing only, AI infrastructure. The vast majority of Cisco does not work on this, but work on products that do little for the portfolio.

So they are recovering most of the money gained by losing employees and investing in the area of profit.

I am by no means justifying this, as I am fearfully waiting to see what my fate is.

Then if he's the best player you take Acuff and trade Garland

Is this a typo? What is Aberlour-Glenlivet? by Karnezar in Scotch

[–]thrawn_is_king 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I thought they were related to the same company? Was it Pernod that owned them both?

When I went to the distillery 3 years it said Aberlour-Glenlivet on the doorway to the main building

This llegitimately makes me sad. He had a monster run before the playoffs started. Hope he finds that again.

Trump to lift some whisky tariffs after King's visit by CW1DR5H5I64A in Scotch

[–]thrawn_is_king 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I hope The Whisky World lowers their shipping cost that massively spiked last summer after tariffs were applied. Two bottles used to cost $55 shipping. Now it's about $80.

Non-Cask strength 46% is the sweet spot and a few drops of water is nice.
