Or maybe use excess power to electrolyze water for fuel cell use later?
Hydrogen storage presents a lot of challenges, because it tends to leak at normal temperatures found on Earth. So we either tolerate a lot of loss during storage, or we use lots of energy chilling it to a temperature where it won’t easily escape.
Sure, but if they’re reducing new whiskey production at exactly the same time, I would think that they’d basically gain a bunch of space right at the time they’d need it. A rickhouse designed for barrels might not be a perfect fit for the big polyethylene tanks, but I’m sure a major shift in operations could result in a relatively low cost switchover as necessary.
I’m just saying that these huge conglomerates aren’t going to let something like a reduced production change the end product. They’re a holding company for a bunch of different brands, including Canadian, Irish, Scottish, and Japanese brands, and they will run whatever stills they need at whatever percent of capacity they need to meet their projected demand. Their other three American distilleries will still be churning out product, and if they do resume production you wouldn’t be able to know which bottle comes from which distillery.
Yeah, seems like someone could pass the test by only knowing pokemon, which isn’t what we’d want in testing people on their drug knowledge.
Actually, I suppose a name being used for a drug or a Pokémon precludes it from being used for the other, so it is a very shared issue, lol.
Theoretically, unrelated trademarks can have the exact same name in different fields, owned by completely different owners, but that generally only applies to trademarks that are regular words that are already in use: Apple Computer versus Apple Music (which the Beatles owned and ended up selling to Apple Computer), Monster Energy Drink versus Monster Cable versus Monster Jobs, Dove soap versus Dove chocolate, etc.
Still, the law looks to likelihood of customer confusion, and maybe it would be too confusing to have a Pokemon named Ozempic.
Brick and mortar retail might be struggling, but it’ll take a larger set of data to try to tease out trends about whether that means a shift to online retail, a shift away from goods towards services, or an actual reduction in spending.
Too long in oak changes the flavours and at some point it won’t taste like your product.
They can and do dump them into non-reactive tanks. Or bottles.
Jim beam was in the “cheap rotgut” category for ages.
The normal white label? That was always considered middle of the road for bourbon. The cheap stuff is the stuff that comes in plastic bottles. It’s only recently that bourbon has had a renaissance where the top brands are highly sought after and there’s a perception of luxury/exclusivity with some bourbons.
With any luck they will sell and rebrand, beam is a dead brand.
Cmon. Suntory Beam owns a shitload of brands of American Whiskey:
And them shutting down one of their four distilleries is not going to affect the quality. It’s a highly industrialized operation, and they’re already good at making the process invisible to the consumer, which bottle comes from which still.
Andy Beshear remains popular and won reelection during the Biden presidency, after being elected during Trump’s first term. And before that, he served a 4-year term as the state’s elected Attorney General. So he’s won 3 state-wide elections in a row during the Trump era (2015, 2019, 2023). His electoral success there isn’t a fluke of any kind of backlash in either direction, but is a reflection of his political skill and popularity in the state.
And his father, Steve Beshear, served four terms in statewide elected office as a Democrat, too.
Understanding local and regional variation in politics is important for understanding how political power can be accumulated and used. And dismissing any Trump voting state as a lost cause is fundamentally ceding power to the fascists. No, we fight for every state, every district, every election cycle, and outside of elections as well.
Linguistically, idioms can take on a meaning separate from its constituent parts, in a way that people can forget about the constituent parts but still understand the word or phrase.
The word “goodbye” derives from “God be with ye” and eventually morphed into the word we know now. The definition of the word “odyssey” derives from a Green myth but has a standalone definition that is understood by people who aren’t familiar with the myth. A ton of other words come from horse racing (“from scratch,” “across the board,” “hands down,” “frontrunner”) and maritime stuff (“groggy,” “show someone the ropes,” “even keeled,”). We draw on shared stories (ancient myths, folklore, the Bible, even classic and modern literature) for much of our vocabulary.
We shouldn’t be surprised by language arising out of modern movies and television shows, or even shared internet memes enter the common lexicon.
My “We’re totally different from Enron” accounting report has a lot of investors asking questions answered by the report.
