@dankwraith the beatles were created out of eighteen or nineteen different popular 1960s pop artists as an corporate umbrella brand to simplify the intellectual property transfer during a series of record company mergers that occurred from the mid-80s to the mid-90s. it saved a ton of tax for them, and boomers fucking believed it too, they bought in, to the extent they’ll even defend the existence of the band, share their memories of having a favourite Beatle. it’s fucked up
With the realization that I probably want to add another chapter to the book and the page count increases from the other edits, I'm thinking more seriously about doing a print version, but that would require a complete redesign of the interior (not actually that big a deal) and introduce other complications for a project I was hoping to be done with by now. Ugh.
The new chapter would be very data heavy and in a sense it might look like I'm padding things out, but there's educational value here and it's supportive of several of the main points I try to present in training.
I've also been informed that the half gallon bottles that we've been out of for a while are being manufactured today so some time next week we should also be able to resume selling half gallon bottles of chai concentrate. I'll have to see how the gallons sell once that's back and decide if I want to keep selling those retail or go back to that being bar use/wholesale only.
Ordered more coffee. The selection of decafs available through the web site is pretty bad right now because I didn't want to accidentally take orders I couldn't fill promptly. I'll be able to fix that some time next week. I'm getting the last 3 bags in the Madison warehouse of the Sulawesi coffee I've been using a lot for training (some may or may not still be available out of Oakland, I know they had some there, too). Also adding a coffee from El Salvador to have something new on offer.
