Just rip the pot roast out of it's packaging, stuff it under your shirt and run out screaming you've been stabbed as you leave a trail of blood and then go home and roast that sucker.

Speaking of supermarket coffee crimes, I had a crack ping moment at work today. New promotion encouraging people to buy coffee in bags to save money and recycle the bags. Had a hunch, so I checked:   The bag which tells you to recycle it on the front, is not recyclable. Glass jars, last I checked, still are both directly recyclable in that it is still a jar when you take the coffee out of it and you can put them in recycle bins. Also:   It costs more, and has less in it, and would still cost more per gram if both were a full price. You can neither save money, nor recycle, with the save money and recycle coffee bag. I feel at some point this should constitute false advertising.

I'm not really that surprised but it's just an impressively poo poo product in every conceivable way. I was thinking maybe some element of it might have use but no.

Ew, schooners. If only it weren't antithetical to go to the shops, buy your beers at half the price then sit outside the pub. Then again loads of people go to Spoons still so gently caress it.

Why did they start allowing beer to be sold in 380ml measures in 2011? Was it a Lib Dem idea hard fought in exchange for not building any new hospitals or something?

Had a short family holiday in Tenerife last year. After we got to the hotel and settled in I figured I'd pay for the first round. I asked for the receipt because I thought I'd accidentally ripped them off. It was less than a third of what I would have paid in England.

Lovely place, lovely food, everytime I went into a restaurant I was dreading the bill and then utterly flabbergasted by how little it actually cost.

Up until recently they were using the green dot that looked as though it implied the bags were recyclable, but they weren't - what it actually meant was they were making "a financial contribution towards how the packaging will be disposed of" - carbon credits bullshit essentially.

Google Jeb Bush posted:Turkey is probably a bad example what with the government and economic collapse both being worse than the UK's (for now) Yes, hand-made things, like restaurant meals, being available cheaply means those making those meals are _definitely_ not making much. The opposite isn’t _necessarily_ true; the extra money may never make it into the hands of the workers, or may be appropriated by landlords downstream. But still, judging an economy by how well it suits a tourist is a bit of a trap.

I used to think that once journos started feeling the material effects of the poo poo they write they would come onside. In the same way that even thatcher knew not to piss off the police. Lately though I've concluded that won't really happen. The useful idiots will continue to push against anything and anyone who might help them, because that's how they make a living. Only joy now is watching the leopard face eating.

If you think we've got a cost of living crisis here, the inflation rate in Turkey is currently around 44%, with food inflation a blistering 54%. https://take-profit.org/en/statistics/inflation-rate/turkey/ Tourists probably do OK due to x-rates, but I dunno how many Turkish people can afford to eat out at the moment.

Noa TracistAnswers Me posted:Oh that’s reassuring. Maybe I’m just infected by doomerism, but aren’t we massively on borrowed time with bird flu becoming a major catastrophe? I’m sure our overlords are on the case about that one, so nothing to worry about… My worry with cholera is that we're managed to keep it out since the 1890s, it's old enough and famous enough that the loons can't blame it on a space laboratory or something, and it only takes one family of asymptomatic immigrants to naively assume that their toilet leads to somewhere equipped to handle human poo poo rather than the river. That gets you a return of cholera and probably a bunch of nasty anti-migrant rhetoric yet again. (This is exactly what happened in Bradford in the 90s with dysentery. In that case it was water privatization and metering that meant people were bathing and handwashing less, but nobody was prepared to admit that they couldn't afford a bath, whereas too many were prepared to claim they saw Ahmed making GBS threads in the back yard and wiping his arse with his hand.) I suppose now that the government has learned their lesson about apps it should, in theory, be a lot quicker and cheaper to roll out the next app when there is another epidemic disease, but just closing the whole thing down rather than making a more general environmental and public health app still seems grossly irresponsible.
