Just did a quick mental calculation of how many precious seconds of my life I've wasted peeling garlic and promptly added one to my wishlist, thx.

No, it's showing a comparison: this is a teaspoonsworth; this, the jar, is a portion.

I will add: if you're one of those people who puts all their xmas food away "not to be eaten until 25th", just get the hairshirt on now, St Francis. It's December, it's wet and miserable and we're all stressing over the endless fuckery of xmas, and we can buy nice snacks for once - why wait, WHY?

Pigs-in-blankets - smoky bacon rebranded. Anything seafoody = prawn cocktail with nasty artificial sweetness. Everything else is basically chicken or gross abominations based on allegedly gingerbread. And who wants turkey-flavoured _anything_??
More nauseous xmas food opinions as they come in...

Also, xmas crisps: don't bother, they've all been dire for years now. We haven't had decent crisp flavours since Brexit (cheers, thickies). The discount supermarket ones are always particularly poor, and stingy on what dull flavourings they have.

PSA: Fans of mince pie alternatives, go for Aldi over Lidl. The Aldi Caramelised Apple Crumble ones aren't as good as previous years (why add caramel??) and there are only 4 in a pack this year (chiz), but the Lidl versions are anaemic and flavourless by comparison, despite a bigger pack. #xmasfood

As usual when Labour are in power, they wag their fingers over things tangential to real issues they aren't going to tackle and fill their legislative agenda with stuff nobody wants (ID cards), while refusing to touch any vaguely progressive ideas lest they anger Daily Mail Tories who hate them.

Bodged enough jack plugs to know I would suck at those. Once bought a DIY USB plug for a project, took one look at the tabs inside, laughed hysterically and swore to give it up.

30 years in IT so take your pick. Anyone need SunOS 4.0 installing on a Sun 3 workstation from QIC tape?
What skill did you master that you will never, ever use again?
I can disassemble and reassemble a 700 series telephone. Not expecting ever again to rejuvenate a carbon granule microphone by slapping it.

By the way everyone, what right-wing politicians say about immigrants is literally also what they believe about you.
You having an ordinary job is a kind of favour your generous employer and the nation has done you, allowing you to reproduce your existence despite not being AN ENTREPRENEUR

The verse about "The working man is doing fine" is a bit 🧐 (guess it was the 70s), but the rest is an Anthem For Our Times.

We're watching the wholesale burning of every scrap of dignity afforded to trans people in the UK, their rights, their medical services, their employment, their place within society, their bodily functions.
It is a disgrace, and a disgusting stain on the government and media of this country.
