  • I think its a fair question from a certain perspective.

    However, the law requires that the package contents contain at least as much as stated. If humidity is an issue, it’s up to the manufacturer to factor that in. Besides, this is dry pasta my friend.

    I also bought salami. It was 13 g short. It’s produced in the plant 4km from me.

    There are no excuses to short the customer and it is illegal.







  • It’s like the entire Web went to shit in 6 months.

    Last week I was researching hot tubs and saunas and so forth, as I was gifted a 10 visit spa pass.

    Top result was rambling and obviously AI generated, packed with keywords and very little information presented in haphazard way, that was telling me that the ideal water temperature for maximum therapeutic benefit in a hot tub is 130-140F.

    Yeah no problem. Once I get used to 140F water I’ll work my way towards something hotter, perhaps boiling peanut oil.



  • Try growing up in the late '70s early '80s, when adult behavior at social gatherings was almost a contest to see who could get the most obliterated-drunk, both men and women, and “one for the road” wasn’t just an expression.

    I’m of the children of that generation, and when we were young we modeled our socializing after that, going out for the night involved getting hammered, didn’t matter who you were.

    I’ve become quite relieved to see that in a last decade or so, the drinking culture of social gatherings is largely gone Even in people of my age range.

    Of course, there’s always one or two out of 20 people that are 9 drinks deep within a couple hours and not realizing that nobody else is consuming.

    The plan is in place not for toxic drinking culture, but to deal with those people. Once the precise amount budgeted for the first few quality drinks is gone, that’s when you bring out the low-bottom budget cans of expired beer, still on the plastic ring but with 2 missing and they are only basement cold.



  • Alcohol that you are supplying at an event. You should always have a good case of beer or wine, or spirits, or the appropriate refreshment for your honored guests, but anything beyond 1st/2nd round should be the cheapest hooch on the planet and it should run out fast. Every social gathering seems to attract booze hounds that will suck you dry, no need to pay premium dollar for their habit.
