Lego is crazy expensive. I wanted to buy my grandson some and I was pretty sticker-shocked. But they have maintained a reputation for quality for many decades, so

Yeah, it's one of the few things that hasn't been enshittified build quality-wise. Heck, modern sets are arguably even better than they have been, especially in the 90s dark age, they're definitely made with reusability in mind and even come with spares for every single part under a certain size.

The bricks are shittier nowadays but Lego has excellent customer service and they'll just replace anything if it's hosed.

Legos need to start coming like cars with an MSRP sticker price on the package. I feel like an absolute madman cross referencing price histories trying to figure out if this sale price is on sale or it's "on sale" because even retail is treating the supply constraints like they're buying a load of wine to sit in a warehouse for 5 years while it's price goes up.

Unfortunately the same can't be said for the flipped pancakes the pilot ordered shortly after.

The Guardian posted:

Retired teacher’s pension stopped as provider refuses to believe she is not dead

A retired teacher has had her pension payments stopped four times because her pension provider repeatedly refuses to accept that she is not dead.

Eileen McGrath, 85, was left without income over Christmas when Teachers’ Pensions, which administers payments on behalf of the UK government, wrongly matched her with a deceased stranger.

“In November I had received two letters from Teachers’ Pensions asking me euphemistically if I was dead,” she said. “I immediately called to make it clear that I was very much alive. Nevertheless, a week later two more letters arrived asking the same thing, so I wrote back to reiterate that I had still not died.”
