That is called shrinkflation 18-1. Mask the cost increases by decreasing the amount in the package. So maybe the same # of candies as last year but each one is smaller than it had been.

My first world problem is it’s rainy, the cats are cuddly, but I have a waitlisted class at 2 pm I need to go teach. I will be fine once I get there, a full class is a ton of fun to teach because the energy is bumping. But I am having to force myself out the door right now! 😂
Ps. Here is to an administration that makes people feel comfortable spending disposable cash again and ALL my classes are waitlisted!

I used to always buy A bag of candy for halloween even though no trick or treaters for JIC and cuz I still like candy. But this year inertia won, if I'd had kids show up they would have gotten some coins.

Way smaller.
They now have about 15 gradations of sizes, e.g. "Fun size," "Party Size," "Snack Size," "Bite Size," "Mini," etc. etc., as a way to disguise that they're giving you less and less on a per pound basis.

Used to be a one pound bag, then it was 14oz, then 12oz and now 8oz.
And... the cost is now 28% higher for 1/2 of the same product.
But it's the best economy in history, Jack!

Followed a link from maybe here, maybe somewhere else, to a page that had a candy engineer explain in detail what the Snickers bar is all about.
It was fascinating. Actually, a whole lot of food tech is fascinating.

So here's a problem...
The girl spawn drives a crappy Ford 500. Those were only made for two years and didn't sell well. It cost around $2000 used from a private seller. Two years later, it still smells like cigarettes smoke. Cannot get that smell out. It's had a few mechanical issues, some that can't be fixed because the repair would cost more than the car is worth. This includes the a/c unit. They would literally have to pull the engine to fix that!
Anywho... The car also has no get up and go. Tromp the accelerator to the floor and it still takes a minute to get up to 35mph.

It is worse than that, the brown paper bags you can get for your shopping at the store are also smaller.
I suppose that is so you don't feel so bad when you drop a C note at the store and only get half a bag of groceries for it.

Posted by: "Perfessor" Squirrel
Because that's the natural state of the shirt. The seams are on the "inside" when you wear it, but they were on the outside when the shirt was made. Entropy wants it to be inside-out since that's a "lower energy" state with less stress on the fabric.

My cupboards are pretty bare and I have just enough cream for one more mug of coffe so I will have to overcome my inertia today and go shopping. Lately I will keep punting on shopping and just use whatever staples I have around until I need either horse feed or cream for my coffee. Usually I can analyze myself and figure out why I'm avoiding something but I don't know on my shopping avoidance the last year or so. It isn't hard and doesn't take all that long. Prices are annoying but its just me and I make a decent salary.

The girl was at the stop sign at the bottom of an off ramp from I69. Big rig behind her without a trailer. She started to pull out, realized the oncoming traffic was moving fast enough to be a problem with that no giddyup issue and braked. Truck had started to roll forward for his turn at the stop sign and CRUNCH!
No injuries! But the back passenger side corner is fucked up. Frame is okay and the car is still drivable. The lens on the brake light was smashed. Red lens replacement tape for the temporary win! And the latch on the trunk is fucked up. Yeh we wired that trunk shut like a trailer park top gear mechanic!
Cops were called, insurance info was exchanged. So now we wait for the police report .
The truck driver? Oh he was from Texas. He had three gold teeth and wore pimped out sunglasses with purple lenses and rhinestones on the gold frames. Nice guy.
I think I heard his truck laughing at the silly car.

And therein lies a problem. It's becoming real hard to find those real small cans of evaporated milk, which is, let's face it, an inferior substitute for half&half. So you run out of cream, punch open a can of evap, use it in a couple of cups of coffee, and then the remainder is wasted, because you went to the store and bought cream. I keep heifer dust on hand for that reason. It keeps forever, so I always have some ersatz cream on hand, should the real deal run out.
I think they may make UHT pasteurized cream in the little one-shot cups that keeps without refrigeration, but that is not ofen found in stores.

I keep heifer dust on hand for that reason. It keeps forever, so I always have some ersatz cream on hand, should the real deal run out.

Here's a first world problem puzzler...
Why is it whenever I do laundry, I invariably have a shirt or two turned completely inside out, even when I *know* that it was right side out when it went into the washer/dryer?
Posted by: "Perfessor" Squirrel at November 10, 2024 02:10 PM (BpYfr)
Yes, that is a puzzler, but it is inevitable when you realize that the intermittent churning of the washing machine agitator sets up the precondition for the subsequent continual tumbling of the clothes dryer against tightly regulated material like cloth, as a weight and mass, in the form of moisture, is extracted via heat creates perverse topologies, which are manifested as both shirts and socks being inverted, twisted, and in extreme settings, turned into a form of fabric Klein bottle.
This was first noticed by the topological mathematician and substitute Home Ec teacher, Crawford Tillinghast, during the interwar period, and in spite of his failed crusade against laundry machines, he did manage to end the practice of building both functions into a single appliance, as for example the case of the Bendix Duomatic, because of the risk of creating a Broach to Beyond.

Bendix was exonerated from any responsibility of the Montauk incident, but the heads of the R and D department were willing to admit that there were specific risks, which they would engineer to avoid, specivically due to un-controlled resonation.

So, he will get the print version mailed to him and it looks like I will enjoy the free online version that comes with it....
I'm hoping it will reduce the stress he gets from reading the local paper (that isn't even local anymore-its printed in Madison WI, that bastion of conservatism lol ...and mailed to our city)....
I've told him for years now to stop watching the news and reading that crap paper because it upsets him....but, old habits die hard.

Not sure about camphor smell, but ozone is an incredible general-purpose destenchifier (also probably applicable to the Ford 500 Madam Mayhem was posting about).
They're pretty cheap on Amazon and work extremely well in my experience. Do one floor at a time, maybe in two batches if there's a lot of floor area.
Downsides: you need to be out of the house, as do pets. It takes time (a few hours at a stretch for the machine to run, another couple of hours before going in, to make sure there's enough normal atmosphere). It will leave your house smelling "crisp" for a few hours or days. It passes quickly.
Upside: cheap and easy, do-it-yourself job.

Three violent plunges later, the stuff clogging up the sink was forced out and the water was pulled under as if through a vacuum.

69 A couple of cans of evaporated milk can save you that late night trip to the store if you need cream for your coffee.

And therein lies a problem. It's becoming real hard to find those real small cans of evaporated milk, which is, let's face it, an inferior substitute for half&half. So you run out of cream, punch open a can of evap, use it in a couple of cups of coffee, and then the remainder is wasted, because you went to the store and bought cream. I keep heifer dust on hand for that reason. It keeps forever, so I always have some ersatz cream on hand, should the real deal run out.
I think they may make UHT pasteurized cream in the little one-shot cups that keeps without refrigeration, but that is not ofen found in stores.

It isn't BS. Washing machine cleaner detergent, however, is.
High-efficiency washers can leave some water behind and water may be used as a part of the balancing system. It can get rancid and mildew can be an issue with HE washers.
Run the wash cycle, but don't bother with the special washer cleaning stuff. It's a ripoff. Put a full cup, maybe cup and a half (the cup that comes with the stuff, I mean) of Oxiclean or generic equivalent into the drum and run the cleaning cycle. It will work and costs virtually nothing. Plus Oxiclean is good for most kinds of laundry anyway, in addition to detergent.
If your HE washer does not have a machine cleaning cycle, just run it on the "rinse and spin" or equivalent cycle, hot water, maximum fill level.

BYOB = Bring Your Own Bag
I live in Idaho, where we can still have a few nice things, but I sometimes shop in The People's Republic of Washington State. Therefore, I keep a few extra bags in the car in case needed to avoid the per-bag charge over there.
The nearest wallyworld doesn't even *have* bags at the self-checkouts anymore. Heh. Wonder why?

It balances out really nicely. HE washers *are* highly efficient, even taking into account periodic washer cleaning cycles. I give mine an empty cleaning cycle a couple of times per yer.
And unlike dishwashers, making washing machines highly efficient didn't cause the cycle time to double or triple. Modern high-efficiency dishwashers work well, but they take freaking forever to run. Washing machines, not so much. The downsides with those are different - like needing to clean your cleaner because they don't clean themselves anymore (the margins are gone).

When I pledged a frat we weren't allowed to wear shoes in the frat house, had to take them off in the kitchen.
Then some brother stated pranking us and putting the shoes in the oven.
One night someone forgot to check for shoes...

I have a new-school top-loader.
Agitatorless design, oversized drum. The capacity is ludicrous (commercial capacity) and it works *extremely* well on most things, plus it's gentler on the items being washed.
Agitatorless designs are witchcraft and they kick ass. Except, in my experience, with a small number of very bulky items - think queen or larger sheets or jumbo-sized towels. It's very hard to get it to balance properly and more often than not, I need to go rearrange things when the onboard sensor says, "too much vibration, Imma give up now."
But those happen much less often than normal clothes and other stuff, and I'm much happier on average with my machine's high capacity and excellent overall performance.
Front-loaders won't have that problem, but front-loaders are *way* more expensive.

I think Epoch Times is made by Falun Gong or its supporters. That would explain their reporting on China. Which is very refreshing by the way, it's nice to see something truthful and critical of the CCP.

And why they're so hated by the CCP. The CCP *despises* Falun Gong and always has. I know little about Falun Gong, but I know how much the CCP hates them and how much they hate the CCP. They and their supporters underwrite a lot of stuff. If you're reading about something vaguely (or explicitly) Chinese and the mainstream critics universally deride it but it keeps doing well, it's a decent bet that it's underwritten by Falun Gong. The product can be good or bad, but it will be hated by those on the CCP payroll (that is, nearly everyone) because Falun Gong supporters are involved.
Like the "Shen Yun" dance performance company (sort of a Chinese take on Cirque du Soleil). Real people who go to "Shen Yun" usually have nice things to say about it. Critics never do. The reason? Falun Gong anticommunism. Depending on locale, they advertise it as such. "Chinese culture from before communism" and the like.

DIY COFFEE CREAMERS ...
I had planned to post this in the Food Thread later on:
At the link below (remember to remove the space), you can find chef Gemma Stafford's recipes for making flavored creamers at home (Bailey's, French Vanilla, and Pumpkin Spice) ... I believe all use cans of sweetened condensed milk but, in one of her videos, she mentions there are additional instructions at her website for making the creamers dairy-free and soy-free ... I actually made a batch of the Pumpkin Spice Creamer today and the flavor was wonderful ... Only change I'll make in the future is to strain the creamer through fine cheesecloth (rather than a metal mesh strainer) to remove not only the pumpkin puree but also more of the spice "dust" which was not visually appealing in my coffee mug ... Pricewise, it cost about 14 cents per ounce to make roughly 30 ounces of DIY creamer.

Just like e-cigs.
"If you want to kill YOURSELF, that's fine, but you can't hurt ME with your nasty habit" was the justification for all the public smoking bans. Even then, it wasn't true (secondhand smoke is unpleasant, not dangerous) but it was a good enough reason.
But they also now ban e-cigs/vaping in public. It wasn't about their precious health, it was about punishing smokers and making them comply.

My FWP is that I have a cheapo Poulan chainsaw. Instead of just using two nuts to tighten the bar, which is what keeps the tension on the chain, they came up with some kind of knob that is supposed to be tightened by hand. And it only tightens down on one of the studs, instead of both.
And as you could imagine, it doesn't do a great job and after literally one cut, the chain gets loose. Even after tightening it with pliers to get extra leverage. The plastic knob thingy finally broke.
One way to fix it is to throw the knob away and remove plastic around the 2nd stud and just use two nuts. But, this knob is in a side cover, and the cover is made of plastic that has no straight edges or parallel sides, so it's hard to clamp in a vise .
I made a little fixture to mount the cover, and I milled out enough plastic so a flanged nut will fit inside the pocket. There was a piece of steel embedded in this cover so the nut tightens metal to metal, so there shouldn't be any plastic creep.
Now I just have to try it out.

A lot less mass of plastic to make one grocery bag than the mass of paper in a paper bag. Less weight and bulk in transport means less fuel burned to carry the empty bags from the factory to the retail stores. And the plastic bags can be reused as garbage bags, thus extending their usefulness. Paper bags get soggy if used for that.

Colorado has that BYOB or .10 for the store's bag. Wally's when they don't run out gives paper bags. NOT the old school ones that one could reuse if you remembered to bring them to the store but thin crap that just barely holds together long enough to get the groceries into the house but will have rips and need to go in the burn barrel right away. But I think every stores plastic bags are useless now too. They are all so thin that they get holes with the first use. Forget about reusing them for tiny garbage liners or whatever.

We get mail for the previous owner of our house (who died in 2016) AND the original owners who sold in 2010. We've even gotten expedited UPS deliveries of cell phones for the original owners because UPS's records were out of date.
Jeez.
FWIW, the immediately previous owner was gay and liberal so we get some humorous mailers.

S IL here. Our Walmart bags are plastic and good enough. We re-use them for trash. Holes are usually caused by boxes with sharp corners or cats ..... definitely cats! So we do recycle and he bags are not single use. We kept a stack of them in the car trunk for use at Aldi but money is so short now that we no longer have to find bags for the very few items.

... Yeah, their "boss" told these people the companies have to "brace" for Trump's "tariffs" and make cut backs. And the "boss" told them he has to fully stock up on inventory now before Trump imposes tariffs, so that means layoffs now and no cash for bonuses.
Because Trump's tariffs.

Some of it *could* be true. Businesses - ones that survive, anyway - *do* try to front-run likely changes.
But I kinda doubt it's happening much. Bonuses, maybe but even that isn't real likely. Layoffs are much less likely because staffing decisions aren't short-payoff. I suspect either of the following is more likely:
1. It's a lie
2. Decisions were made last quarter and the boss is using the election as an excuse so his people are less angry at him.

And therein lies a problem. It's becoming real hard to find those real small cans of evaporated milk, which is, let's face it, an inferior substitute for half&half. So you run out of cream, punch open a can of evap, use it in a couple of cups of coffee, and then the remainder is wasted, because you went to the store and bought cream. I keep heifer dust on hand for that reason. It keeps forever, so I always have some ersatz cream on hand, should the real deal run out.
I think they may make UHT pasteurized cream in the little one-shot cups that keeps without refrigeration, but that is not ofen found in stores.

There are bulk sources:

Probably beyond a ludicrous amount for one person but maybe you could split it with one or two others.
These guys and their peers have good per-unit prices for some products, and others higher than grocery stores. I like having the option to stock up on things I know I will use, and/or get items not available locally.

My *real* FWP for today: using a measuring tape and mock-ups to figure out how to seat 17-20 people for Thanksgiving and still have room for a buffet table.
17 is easy, I know, because I did 18 last year. But 18 was *tight* and I couldn't have squeezed another person in. If I'm at 19 this year (possible), it's going to a geometry problem and I suck at geometry. It can be done (and will be done), but I am going to have to get creative.

Probably a few stores do still have high quality bags. But Wally's paper bags are just barely adequate for 1 use.
And I have decent well water and like to just refill plastic bottles. I used to save the bottle if I bought bottled water on a road trip. Now most bottled water uses such thin plastic you have to be careful not to crush the bottle when you take the lid off. They do crush nicely to take less room in the garbage at least.

But I kinda doubt it's happening much. Bonuses, maybe but even that isn't real likely. Layoffs are much less likely because staffing decisions aren't short-payoff. I suspect either of the following is more likely:
1. It's a lie
2. Decisions were made last quarter and the boss is using the election as an excuse so his people are less angry at him.

But I kinda doubt it's happening much. Bonuses, maybe but even that isn't real likely. Layoffs are much less likely because staffing decisions aren't short-payoff. I suspect either of the following is more likely:
1. It's a lie
2. Decisions were made last quarter and the boss is using the election as an excuse so his people are less angry at him.

Just had a conversation with our daughter, she's involved in international banking and sanction-compliance. She's pretty certain business is going to boom. "The uncertainty is gone," per RBC Daughter. She's been in banking for a couple of decades (started as a teller) and now has her own minions. For what it's worth: she's optimistic.

The mass deportations will help bring down housing prices, especially in combination with higher interest rates.
Of course, they will ignore than the stories about the crisis of falling property values and "stuck" homeowners will be added to the stories of homelesness, not presented as independent and related topics.

Time will tell, but I hope so. Our leaderless, internally-competitive Politburo has made everything into a minefield. Nobody is in charge and policy is a moving target that is often mutually contradictory. It depends on which apparatchik was in position to call which shot at any given time.

So the commies who think Trump's tariffs will just be added to the consumers' cost don't think tax hikes on corporations or production get passed-on to consumers. Also ignore that tariffs are a negotiating tactic to get more favourable terms than currently. Also don't care about printing trillions of electronic dollars creating inflation.

I cannot stress the significance and magnitude of this vibe shift enough.
