Bullshit, yellow sticker stuff is perfectly fine as long as you don't throw it in the fridge and expect it to be good a week down the line.

The secret to yellow sticker food in Tesco is to get it in the evening, 19:30 was the sweet spot for my local. If you buy fish, eat it that night. I don't have a freezer at all.

The picture of him is actually from last october when he visited hull's worst reviewed carvery. It was OK And he tried to live on universal credit money two months ago when he didn't have a beard but hadn't thought about going yellow sticker only.

I'm sure I've seen reduced pasta in Asda recently it's was with the reduced tinned stuff rather than with either the cake isle or chilled reduced bits. Also you want to check out places like https://m.facebook.com/Surplus2Purpose/ which had 5ft tall bags of popcorn for a couple of quid today

The world's last surviving Guardian columnist crawls from the rubble. A scrap of toilet paper blows into their reach on the nuclear winds. With a finger stained with radioactive ash they scrawl their last words upon it: "But just imagine where we'd be under Corbyn"

I'm sure they do occasionally do it but it's probably gonna be a lot less often than stuff with a short shelf life and where they have few facings of the product, because those are more likely to be specialist goods and they also tend to send in too many very easily because one case can often be too many. For stuff that comes in by the palletload it's usually less wasted, proportionally. Reductions would probably mean they're finishing the line and want it off the stock system as soon as possible, possibly for stock take so they don't have to count it.

Whether you can survive off yellow sticker stuff varies wildly depending on which shop you use. At my local Co-Op you'd live off celery and experimental hot cross bun flavours, except on the days when everything is corn on the cob.

assuming we're talking about the no-fly zone over ukraine zelenskyy asked for, it won't happen because the us is currently against it. russia would have to do something to move directly against the us for nato to enforce it

I really don't know that "I'm going to shoot my anti air missiles like this, and if your planes get hit by them it's your own fault" is going to convince russia tbh.

It's such a deliberate abstraction of language as well, to distance from the fact it's an act of war. A "No Fly Zone" sounds like we'd just put a few signs up about the place to quieten everyone down.

The US very successfully used it to disguise the fact that they were starting a war in Libya and apparently among the people taken in by this were about half of our politicians and commentators.

America would ofc hold its own through sheer inertia and the fact that it's miles away from any potential aggressors, but I genuinely do not believe the UK or potentially even most of the Western European countries would last ten seconds against an organised, motivated adversary armed with more than a few rusty old kalashnikovs and IED know-how. Our armies have been gutted since WW2 and are far more used to asymmetrical warfare where they have the balance of power. They're well trained but in a large scale conflict against an opponent as powerful as Russia there's only so far the professional core can carry you, and I do not at all see attempted conscription going particularly well. I certainly wouldn't be taking up arms to defend this shitheap country and don't know many people of potentially fighting age who would, and tbh I think we're culturally at a point where no matter how hard the government tried they'd really struggle with recruitment. Then on top of all of that you've got the tory shits who would kick and scream every step of the way at any of the big nationalisations and public programmes a war economy requires to function, and would probably try to outsource the whole thing to G4S or Serco or something.

If nato got into a war with russia russia would lose badly, even without the US I don't think they have the capability to fight most of europe combined unless they resorted to nuclear weapons. The russian military is also not in a very good state since the cold war.

Gorn Myson posted:Its "we need to look tough on Putin and tough on immigration" but they don't want to look callous on the second half of that. So instead of explicitly coming down against welcoming Ukrainian refugees, they fall back on the phrase "we need a simplified process" when dealing with applications, which as far as I can tell means "we need a better website".

If NATO did try to enforce a no fly zone over Ukraine and Russia shot down one of their planes in retaliation but didn't formally declare war or move the ground operation beyond Ukraine, would that count as a sufficient act of aggression for the necessitate full Western intervention?

You mean via NATO protocol 5? No. Probably even hitting the airfields they were operating from would be legit targets for Russian cruise missiles in that scenario.

I bought 3 yellow-stickered from Waitrose ( ) on Sunday: feta/walnut/beetroot salad, quinoa () salad, stuffed mushrooms. All had use by dates of Sunday, but I had 2 on Sunday and 1 on Monday. Total cost: £3.13 Total normal cost: approx £8.50. I don't by this kind of stuff full price because it's just not filling enough to warrant that amount of spend. But it is nice to have something a bit different occasionally.

If you asked someone for a copy of an invoice and contract as proof that a payment is due for some work, and they turned up dated for whatever date but the pdf creation date in acrobat reader is a month later and only a day before they were sent to you would you think something was up?

I'd think that they kept their paperwork in Word and just printed out another pdf copy on request, unless I was already suspicious about their paper trail for some other reason.

In this scenario I'm the lease holder that is being asked to pay a share of a bill and it's the freeholder that's sent the contract between them and a builder. It's a very big number for the work. I guess builders and landlords are useless enough to hold signed contracts as editable word files. The pdf was created by word 2016. With some random name as the author.

No, its most likely a copy that has been generated when asked for. Most accounting software generates on demand.

Fucks me off the "Oh just buy reduced stuff silly!" thing. Like, are the 15m or so people in the UK in poverty all supposed to do that? Are they supposed to not buy non-reduced stuff, waiting until food almost goes bad so that they can have it for cheap? Will this not have wider economic effects? If the food can be sold to people at that price, why do they have to wait til it has a short date to have it? Also doing that sort of things is loving exhausting. I'm not even that hard up, but I'm not working at the moment and trying to keep an eye on our food spending (food is more expensive in Canada) and even then only buying certain things when they're on offer actually takes up a lot of mental space. Just keeping track of the prices of things and trying to work out what the most efficient way to buy stuff because of complicated deals and obfuscating pricing etc. is exhausting, and I'm not even in any danger of going hungry.
