This might have been posted here before, but this article on the shady stuff that went on after Woolworths sold Dick Smith is really interesting. https://foragerfunds.com/bristlemouth/dick-smith-is-the-greatest-private-equity-heist-of-all-time/

SynthOrange posted:Cant even text the right person mister speaker If you made a potato battery out of Peter Dutton's head you couldn't even power a wristwatch. Although according to Israeli scientists, if you boiled him and cut him up into four or five pieces you could get ten times the power. If the Liberal Party weren't so against alternative energy Malcolm Turnbull would be doing this experiment right now.

AlphaDog posted:Is this also true of buying something in a different store because it's cheaper there, or does it only apply to buying online? If they don't have a demo model of the item you want - providing demos is expensive. Going to a full service store to try a tech item then buying from a box shifter like MSY isn't much less scummy than buying online.

Birb Katter posted:If you cut a sandwich in half does it cease to be a sandwich? Folding a slice of bread is the same. The ratio of bread to filling is important. A sausage in bread has just enough bread to hold the sausage, onion and sauce allowing the sausage to dominate. A sausage sandwich with two slices of bread buries the flavour of the snag and bogs you down with unnecessary roughage for the rest of the afternoon. Calling them both a sausage sandwich loses that distinction, which is OK if food is just something you stuff into your face in between inciting riots against browns and watching boofheads with no necks line up and run into each other a hundred times in an afternoon for no apparent reason. Birb Katter posted:Is a club sandwich really 1.5 sandwiches because it has 3 slices of bread? No, it's just one club sandwich. Which is all small bananas compared to calling a potato cake a "scallop". When you're illiterate enough to start confusing animal and vegetable, it's time to give up. A scallop is a mollusc. It's seafood. A potato is the tuber of the Solanum tuberosum plant, which apart from being delicious when fried into cakes, can serve as an improvised battery or even as an Immigration Minister if you're really desperate.
