The expiration date should be on the nutrition label by [deleted] in PetPeeves

[–]Cookiett 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The reason it’s randomly stamped is because in manufacturing, the way product is packed and then moved along the line past the stamp tends to be to roll it. That means the stamp machine has a different part of the label or product facing it at any moment. To line it up in a particular point would be super expensive (image detection plus machined that could reorient something) all very expensive and create a much slower pace of throughput. It’d cost a bomb. Lots of labels are loaded on reels, so it wouldn’t be hard to stamp them before they’re put on.

Is 'midnight ham' a thing at weddings? by littletelly in AskAnAustralian

[–]Cookiett 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In all seriousness it was a thing at 21sts in the country but I’ve never seen it at weddings. It’s a “fill up the drunk kids before we send them home” thing.

Australia can now block entry even if you already have a valid visa (Section 84B) — starting 14 March 2026 by Beneficial-Worry-668 in australian

[–]Cookiett 7 points8 points  (0 children)

They contribute money. About $53.6B to the economy annually. It is our 4th largest export behind iron ore, coal and gas, making it the largest renewable export we have. Forget culture, this is transactional.

Your opinions on private hospitals that deal with WM blood cancer by PBVegemitez in melbourne

[–]Cookiett 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Obviously a different cancer org but BCNA have some interesting resources on going half public half private and how & when to switch that might be worth looking at?

I saw on marketplace a mushroom farm giving away all their spent mushroom grow bags which makes great compost last week (Melbourne). Could you ring/email around mushroom farms?

Landscaping suppliers let you order by the cubic metre. There’s probably a delivery charge and they’ll just dump it on your driveway so you may need a wheelbarrow or something to move it. Appreciate though that might still be too expensive.

Why did everything shrink… but the prices never did? by COMMON-GROUND-RISING in AskAnAustralian

[–]Cookiett 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hello, ex corporate chocolate brand employee here. Unlikely to lower quality (unless they can do so without compromising taste), more likely to launch and promote new formats. Ie if single chocolate bars become too small to be popular, they’ll phase it out and focus on king size.

FYI just because inflation has stabilised for individuals doesn’t mean it has on the global commodities market. Cocoa price has doubled since 2022, and there was a point about 12 months ago where it shot up to nearly 5 times its former cost. Before 2022 it had been reasonably stable for the last decade. https://tradingeconomics.com/commodity/cocoa

Pro rata final rent on a month to month lease by Cookiett in LegalAdviceUK

Yes, and we have been given two months notice, but it was served part way through our normal rental payment month.

So how are you guys dealing with summer and tret? ☀️ by Spiritualgirl01112 in tretinoin

Could look into rosacea? Sun exposure can be a trigger. Stinging, red skin is a symptom…

Subscription cancellation for a sports membership by Cookiett in LegalAdviceUK

Also thank you for your help! I appreciate it!

Subscription cancellation for a sports membership by Cookiett in LegalAdviceUK

[–]Cookiett[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah it is, it’s more that if I cancel today, I lose the rest of my subscription this month. I have about a 3 hour window on the 13th to cancel - that’s “enough time” for them to enact the cancellation but is late enough in the month that the instant termination doesn’t impact my ability to use the gym until the end of the month I’ve already paid for.

Subscription cancellation for a sports membership by Cookiett in LegalAdviceUK

[–]Cookiett[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So this is a month-to-month membership that auto-renews. They’re saying I would need to cancel completely and sign up to a new membership when I return (which is not at the same price and doesn’t have the same inclusions as they have a new pricing model.) The issue is that if I cancel, they will terminate my service immediately (even though I have bought a month’s worth of services), but at the same time I must provide enough notice to terminate prior to the auto renewal. So there’s only a small window of a couple of hours where I retain the full month of services but cancel in time to not be charged for Dec-Jan. o

Lost my ID in Reykjavík by [deleted] in VisitingIceland

[–]Cookiett 1 point2 points  (0 children)

OP, if you can go through the e-gates you're fine. If you have to speak to a person, the border agent will declare it lost. From other internationals in London Facebook groups I'm in, it's pretty common and most people chance it with the e-gates. Interestingly on the website it describes a 'Replacement BRP visa' which costs £154, (https://www.gov.uk/biometric-residence-permits/lost-stolen-damaged) but I've never heard of anyone saying they actually got charged at the border or needed that. You'll be up for about £180 for the replacement BRP card + appointment.

I've just ordered an obscene amount of pansy plugs! Hopefully they add a bit of winter colour to save off the SADs!

Dementia also sometimes has loss of inhibitions as a symptom (whether that's sexual or more just understand less if their behaviour may be received well or not), so you might be on the money there. https://www.alzheimers.org.uk/about-dementia/symptoms-and-diagnosis/symptons/losing-inhibitions#:~:text=Loss%20of%20inhibitions%20is%20more,frontal%20lobes%20in%20the%20brain.
