I don’t know whether there are spirit taxes in China, EU, etc.. But this is a 25% duty on the import price of the bourbon (the price paid by the importer). Bear in mind that this is a wholesale price being hit with a 25% markup due to the tariff, which means at retail that passes through as a 50% price hike. It is…

There’s a 25% countervailing (response) tariff from the EU, Canada, etc. on bourbon because it’s such an iconic US beverage. Bourbon distillers are therefore losing tons of sales outside the US. They are going to raise prices inside the USA to make up for that.

I was at this game. Believe it or not, it was more impressive in person than the stats make it seem.

I’m not opposed to this new league-wide rule where if the Patriots try this BS play where Brady is supposed to catch a pass and craps the bed, the other team runs the same play and does it better.

You might be the only person ever to ask for the Switch to work more like the WiiU.

I have hired over 100 people in my life, either to work for me or not. That’s maybe #HumbleBrag but I feel I should give my bona fides for why I think I have meaningful input here. Three thoughts:

Not all heroes wear capes. Some lick their own butts.

People who don’t use their side burner are maniacs who don’t make their own barbecue sauces and are okay with Kraft. If you’re going to boil vinegar and you don’t want your house to be a toxic waste site that makes your eyes run like Marc Sanchez into your own lineman’s butt, the side burner on the grill is the way to…

You look like you’re trying to give this post a star. Do you need help with that?

I do prefer the rugby term “hooter” to the “siren” though.

Okay let’s see if I can help here. Not Aussie but have played Aussie Rules Football before.

Seahawks fan here.

I once gave a lecture at Hamburger University, McDonalds’ in-house training institute. That entitled me to eat at their employee cafeteria, which is of course a McDonalds. I had the Quarter Pounder with Cheese because it is their superior burger. The staff of McDonalds, at least that day, agreed.

Kevin Perjurer? God, Trump isn’t even trying with his pseudonyms any longer.

This is amusing to me if perhaps no one else because there is literally a type of employee theft that is referred to by people who investigate such things as “salami slices”. That theft is usually when you take a small amount of money from the till every day so the till doesn’t quite balance but you know what your…

Somewhat of a threadjack but: there’s a product called WineAway that works magic at removing red wine stains. Got to get them before they go in the laundry, ideally before they’re dry, but when some idiot co-worker spilled an entire bottle of Shiraz on my cream carpets during a party I unloaded WineAway onto it and…

Came here to mention those two, leaving happy.

This is good Kinja.

I keep this bookmarked to send to my wife on the regular.
