Is there some german word that describes this, similar to schadenfreude but more about the "no please go ahead, here's another shovel to help with the digging" aspect

Thanks for the pointers regarding heating the house. I tried to google it and got some stuff about airflow and poo poo.Microplastics posted:Starting to feel to egg shortage here. I need me some drat eggs I forgot this was going to be a thing. I picked up a pack of eggs for the wife at the weekend but the expiration date is next week. I was planning on picking up a big box to last through Christmas this weekend but I'm guessing that might be a struggle. Also cough chat. It turns out the x-ray showed a little fluid in the upper something or other in my chest, so the better doctor put me on some stronger antibiotics for the next week. There's a slight bubbling/creaking sound from my upper chest when I lie down so the fluid is what's causing that apparently. Instructions were to take a double dose immediately and googling "fluid in lungs" brings back some scary-sounding poo poo about Pulmonary edema (which the doctor definitely didn't mention on the phone), so I dunno how serious it actually is. I'm on his watch list, but I think that's more because he's going above and beyond compared to the other doctors in the practice rather than it being life-threatening or anything. I was gonna say I'm feeling better but just had a massive coughing fit as I typed this :/ Fingers crossed these different antibiotics do something cos I'm sick of feeling like this.

I wouldn't worry about dates on eggs, they last for ages in the fridge. I often use them weeks after the date (though I'm always careful to crack them open into a separate dish before adding them to anything just in case!) Hope your chest gets better.

https://www.theguardian.com/business/2022/dec/06/a-mess-up-worth-billions-energy-rivals-attack-bulb-octopus-dealquote:If rivals are successful, Bulb could be left in special administration again. Lawyers for Octopus have warned that if Bulb’s customers are not transferred before 31 December, Octopus “will lose its wholesale energy supply arrangements, with the result that it will not be able to ensure continuity of supplies for customers”. ffs. I don't know if this means for everyone with Octopus or just for potentially transferred Bulb customers.

I think it's just supposed to be wholesale energy purchased for the ringfenced Bulb customers but given the levels of competence on display it wouldn't surprise me any outcome. "Bulb-Octopus deal" just reminds me of

Honestly even use by dates you can often take with a pinch of salt. Companies have to be pretty conservative with their paperwork when it comes to stuff expiring for obvious legal (and economic) reasons but with 99% of stuff I'm perfectly fine looking at it and giving it a sniff to check whether I'm willing to eat it. Most things will show pretty obvious evidence they're getting a bit suspect, especially once you start cooking them. This also works both ways - I've bought stuff from some supermarkets that's been well within date but clearly hasn't been stored right because that's just not how raw chicken is meant to smell, even if it doesn't make you immediately recoil. 95% sure I'd have got sick if I'd ate it.

Just found out the local council in my home town in NI won't put on any christmas lights, tree or have a Santa appear in the town. Which is a first for decades, they have done it since the 60s. Instead the local businesses are grouping together to do a mini version Turns out there is no money for them, anyone elses local town having the same? happyhippy fucked around with this message at 01:21 on Dec 7, 2022 |

We have a poo poo tree in the middle of the village. More so than usual. Give it a few years and it'll be down to the usual bedsheets with "happy 50th Janet" strung across the lights on the traffic circle but wishing the baby Jesus a happy 2025th.

Lights all down the main street (but I think the County Council does those, I might be wrong), Santa is organized by the Rotary Club and there's a large decorated tree in front of the main building. We have a couple of big (as in a lot of the town participates or spectates) Christmas themed events organized by the town council but neither cost a lot to do. Main thing is closing the road for about 3 hours or so for each occasion.

Ours are reduced from previous years, and all the gammons are moaning about it on the local FB group. I am performing my normal community service of gently reminding them that years of Conservative cuts to local funding mean that councils can barely afford to keep the actual lights on, let alone Christmas ones.

all the children in the village have written to santa, care of the wealth management company that has offices in the former chapel, and i guess they'll get a gift back or maybe their parents will be assessed by how extravagant their childs request was i dunno
