Cookie Cutter posted:It's funny how having a ministerial position named after a specific thing (net zero, levelling up, etc) pretty much guarantees that thing is not happening. Minister for Business and Trade . Minister for Equalities. ...yep, your theory checks out! However, the Minister for Equalities is also the Minister for Women, and I've been reliably informed by TERFs that women are definitely happening, perhaps too much

Not terribly long ago there was a slate of Marxists pointing at the low interest rate (i.e., fallen-to-zilch rate of profit) environment plus productivity puzzle and saying, aha, this is the TRPF crisis of capitalism (principally I think Michael Roberts is in this camp, here he is answering the question in detail: https://thenextrecession.wordpress.com/2019/05/11/productivity-investment-and-profitability/, I think also Peter Jones and Andrew Kliman who like to specifically pinpoint the GFC as the crisis reified) And now the low rate environment is over, as far as we can tell for the foreseeable future, so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ (my own read on the productivity slowdown is that a good portion of it is mismeasurement of gains in safety, predictability, etc. instead of output as such, and another part is the one-off China opening shock. Deindustrialization or slowed industrialization impacted a whole swathe of countries not plausibly close to the Marxian capital overaccumulation frontier! But I am not an expert) ronya fucked around with this message at 16:40 on Feb 7, 2023 |

Anyway, he tried that (not working at Cadburys but shovelling multiple bars of chocolate into his face) but it never put him off. I have also tried this with various substances such as butterscotch icecream, it didn't work for me either. Have you ever been near a chocolate factory? It's quite an experience - the air is permeated with a burnt chocolate smell. I sometimes bike by one around here and it's usually enough to put me off chocolate for the rest of the day. If you have this for a week, either your nose shuts down or chocolate is just not interesting anymore. drat, now I want some chocolate, CURSE YOU.

Sir Sidney Poitier posted:By that do you mean the allotment? No there's a factory or something near where I work sometimes that fills the entire industrial estate with a powerful smell of fried onions. Either that or there's an intermittent gas leak but I am fairly sure it's just a factory that makes onion based food. Also fairly sure it isn't the waste processing plant that also opened up near there, which produces a rather worse smell during summer.

I find that if I just don't have any sugary sweets or drinks for a couple of weeks then I just stop craving them altogether Edit. Dairy milk is still better than Yorkies which for some reason taste like sick, even though they used to be good. I assume they changed the recipe to whatever poo poo chocolate that Americans eat. keep punching joe fucked around with this message at 17:13 on Feb 7, 2023 |

We lived in Calne for a couple of years where there was a big Harris pork products factory. The stench when the wind was blowing in the wrong direction was horrendous. I dated a guy for a while who worked in the slaughterhouse and he said they stunned the pigs to stop them wriggling about and upsetting the people but he could tell from their eyes they knew they were doomed.

Yeah I think meat processing places just kinda do smell horrible, when I worked at the wholesale butchers the place always stunk of a mix of cleaning products and rancid meat. They clean the tables and everything but the concrete floors on the loading bay and the big vats of bloody brining solution just do stink.

Big tins of chocolate don't taste the same either (quality street or roses). They use soya in the 'chocolate' instead of whatever soya is a substitute of. This is not to say I wouldn't lob an entire big tin down my neck if put in front of me, but after the utter disappointment of the last one I bought about 5 years ago, I'll never buy one for myself again.

Ironically (why? it just seemed like the right word somehow) I did have a Caramac a bit ago, and it was just as good as I remember it. Different ingredients - it's not a chocolate bar - so fewer / different / less-noticeable things to go wrong I guess?

Different ingredients - it's not a chocolate bar - so fewer / different / less-noticeable things to go wrong I guess? Ingredients. Vegetable Fats (Palm, Shea), Sugar, Lactose (from Milk), Sweetened Condensed Skimmed Milk, Skimmed Milk Powder, Butterfat (from Milk), Emulsifier (Sunflower Lecithin), Treacle, Flavouring , Salt. Never seen a cocoa bean. I like caramacs too  I'm also partial to a can of condensed milk when I'm feeling poorly I have a theory it blasts the bugs out of your blood stream (that's my excuse and I'm sticking to it) and I definitely feel better for it.
