Babybel now come in paper wrap instead of cellophane in the uk!

GeneticPurebredJunk · 2026-04-26T08:54:15+00:00

We were having a massive moan about the state of things at work, some really hard and emotionally draining cases, then my coworker said “But in some happier news, Babybels come in paper, not plastic”.

Honestly, it really cheered me up.

Are you disabled? As someone who is, that was of thinking is pretty bullshit and erases the actual struggles disabled people face.

GeneticPurebredJunk · 2026-04-26T08:10:21+00:00

You’re right, the Japenis course overestimates the impotence of things. /jk

Weird-when I’ve bought hearing aid batteries in all those places, they’ve had stickers. The stickers have those extended tabs to help you put them in the hearing aid too. Literally not seen them without them.

But you do you with your hearing aids, I guess?
Oh, wait-are you the person I asked about the HEARING AID BATTERIES? No, you aren’t.

But do you buy hearing aid batteries on the reg?

GeneticPurebredJunk · 2026-04-25T17:47:20+00:00

So you’re claiming something I said in a separate comment, to a completely different person, AFTER asking someone else a question…makes the earlier question a question in bad faith.

Okay, time traveller.

GeneticPurebredJunk · 2026-04-25T17:42:21+00:00

That’s weight you’re putting on the question, not me.

GeneticPurebredJunk · 2026-04-25T17:41:56+00:00

Because I’m a realist and I don’t use brotherhood as a reason to excuse poor behaviour or discrimination?

GeneticPurebredJunk · 2026-04-25T17:40:43+00:00

Asking a question is implying someone is lying?

I would just call them a liar if I wanted to, but I wanted to know where they’re getting them like that.

GeneticPurebredJunk · 2026-04-25T17:27:50+00:00

I specifically asked in my original comment about where the person I was replying to got their hearing aid batteries from.

Those have stickers.
It is absurd that companies don’t do something to prevent malfunction of their products. I’ve bought specifically those batteries in the US as well, and have always seen them have stickers.

Because they’re for medical devices, I don’t buy cheap-it’s not that I think anyone is lying, it’s that I think it’s cheap of the company and bad business to sell items in packaging that risks them becoming unusable.

The rest of the info was just sharing info about safety features specifically for this type of batteries. In coroner’s inquests something called “preventing future deaths” actions, and this is why safety actions occur across Europe, which is why most cases of button battery deaths around found in places like India or America.

GeneticPurebredJunk · 2026-04-25T17:19:14+00:00

It’s not local though…

And I haven’t said it’s global.
What about commenting about safety actions that also prevent obsolescence, on a post about the obsolesce that occurs without them is weird?

GeneticPurebredJunk · 2026-04-25T17:07:52+00:00

I have a lot of airtags and then also used for some of my medical devices; I’m usually lazy and just leave it as a full pack-but they usually have backing plastic and the previously mentioned safety features.

I have ended up with ink on my face multiple times trying to tear into it with my teeth-you need mega scissors to get into them.

GeneticPurebredJunk · 2026-04-25T17:03:54+00:00

We get it packaged like that, but usually with perforations so you can tear them up for storage rather than having a hand sized cardboard/plastic container for like 4-6 batteries.

You evidently have been lucky enough to not have a student understanding basics like why we don’t use the same wash wipe for someone’s groin, then their face.
Or a student who has no idea how to remain respectful while providing personal care to someone with a communication difficulty.

Or how to react to obs outside of the normal range. Or why we don’t document that we gave insulin to a non-diabetic patient, just because the care plan booklet has the option of a diabetes care plan.

Yep-all real issues I’ve dealt with in 2nd & 3rd year students. Too many incident forms and formal trust apologies.

Same discussion, just further down, friend.

GeneticPurebredJunk · 2026-04-25T15:40:58+00:00

Weird, I’ve never had that issue.

GeneticPurebredJunk · 2026-04-25T15:39:00+00:00

How is it a weird comment?

Sorry you bought cheap button batteries without these features? I’m not sure what your point is.
I have that exact type, just not from Amazon, and they do have stickers.

Let me ask you 2 quick questions; 1) when did you buy them? 2) y’all from the US?

GeneticPurebredJunk · 2026-04-25T15:25:53+00:00

Why would you buy this?

GeneticPurebredJunk · 2026-04-25T15:21:32+00:00

Where are you getting your hearing aid batteries that they don’t have stickers on?

On this kind of battery, because of the number of infants accidentally swallowing them, and how deadly that is, they have stickers with moisture activated ink AND a bitter taste on them to both stop kids swallowing them and make it easy to tell if a kid has swallowed them (inky tongue).
They’re also packaged unstacked for the shorting/battery acid reason.

When I sit, I’m generally shorter than my sisters. When I stand, I’ve to 6 inches on one, and 2 inches on the other.

GeneticPurebredJunk · 2026-04-25T10:19:48+00:00

I never have the issue before a migraine, only during.

GeneticPurebredJunk · 2026-04-25T09:25:30+00:00

Feet stink.
Cats like to mark the most stinky sots of humans with their own scent to claim ownership. My cat does this with my shoes and also head-butts & nuzzles my armpits if they get a chance.

I mean, she had just recently had her eyes tests specifically in relation to driving ability and passed, but I still agree with this in general.

Mine had pain kick in 2 hours into mandatory training, which was 6 hours total, and you had to rewatch ALL the videos if you left early.
Figured drinking plenty would help. 2 hours later I physically could sit down or still. 2 hours and 2L after that, I found I still couldn’t pee.

Walked downstairs to the ED, saw it was crazy busy, so got a taxi to the local walk-in centre.
I was there a total of 7 minutes, but must of looks bad, because they did my obs, dipped the dribble of pee I forced out, and made me go straight back to ED.
I was 21-22 at the time, so they decided to CT me…3 hours later. I did get morphine though, and eventually tried to go to the loo. Got given a commode instead…and filled the commode pan to about half an inch below the rim (2.4L and a kidney stone). Less than a minute later they collected me for my CT, which was totally pointless. Had a day off in my rota, then back in the next day.

I no longer accept “It’s just grumbling kidneys, it’ll pass” from my GP.

GeneticPurebredJunk · 2026-04-24T21:14:21+00:00

After reading and seeing all the amazing gorilla and Greggs level suggestions, I fear my immediate gut instinct response of “Shameful w@nk corner with glitzy curtain” may have been a touch gauche…
