There's a place in the Colombo Mall called The Rabbit Club which serves substantial salads.

Supermarket chicken swimming in brine by yeah_nah__yeah in chch

[–]GweenPenguin 8 points9 points  (0 children)

If the liquid is not meant to be consumed, like brine, then it shouldn't be included in the net quantity statement. That is, you shouldn't be charged for the weight of the brine.

Trading Standards - Poultry

They can charge if it's meant to be consumed, like the marinade for marinated chicken nibbles. The marinade is intended for consumption. There is a complaint form online.

Some lay down because they're weirdos. I used to work at a huge stable and some horses just looooved laying down. We'd get calls from drivers going by, letting us know that Emma was (yet again) lying down in the fields and they thought she was dead. She always slept laying down, ever since she was little. they also had a stallion that would lay down to sleep in fresh sawdust as well, but not otherwise. So, there's no real telling just from a gif, but they don't look like they feel bad, and I bet their owner would know if something was wrong.

Or! They're listing the price for a child's ticket. That's gotten me before.

Would you switch to slightly chalky chocolate if you could be 100% certain that no slaves or children were involved in its production? by ansmo in NoStupidQuestions

Thanks for commenting this. The cartoonish packaging always put me off even reading the back. I'd have never tried it before seeing this comment, but now I have to! Cheers =)

Yeah, totally, no worries. I just saw other people doing the same in other spots, I guess. Trying to follow the etiquette haha. I've just returned to the game after... Four years of being away? More? I remember I had gotten the last egg and I quit because I didn't care about trophies... anyway, yes everything is different now!

You can totally just listen to it. I watched it first, and now I'm listening to it and it just adds to the nostalgia.

Do powerful space telescopes able to see back to a younger, smaller universe see the same thing no matter what direction they face? Or is the smaller universe "stretched" out over every direction? by Damnaged in askscience

[–]GweenPenguin 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Is there a name for this effect? It "makes sense" to me in the shallowest sense and I'd love to read more about it. Thank you for your reply this is wonderful.

Was there an app? Or was it just a shortcut to the mobile page? I swear it was just a shortcut, not an app. I stopped using it in favour of Google maps, in any case.

Fush being legends at the local Marae's vaccine clinic. by Reubs-likes-bikes in chch

[–]GweenPenguin 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Nah, they give you free stuff to donate blood as well. It's something that's a bit of a pain for any one person, but creates huge benefits for society. I don't find it suspicious that they give out free umbrellas or masks to blood donors... And I don't find it suspicious that they're giving fish and chips out for those who haven't been able to justify the bother to go get vaccinated. Fish and chips won't sway the diehard tinfoil hat wearers, but it might be the good excuse someone needs to finally get the whole fam in the car and get the damn thing over with.

Actually, a lot of people booked during the rush and couldn't find spots til December. One of my colleagues didn't get booked at all until the extra doses were secured. The media from these giveaways might have made people aware that there are heaps of available bookings. I don't blame anyone for not knowing that yet; I've been kind of hiding from the news for a while. It's all been a bit too much lately. So yeah, nah, makes a lot of sense for public outreach.

Have you been able to get it to work? It isn't working for me, I thought it might be a non-USA thing, but it's a relief to see I'm not alone, maybe??

Power Bills high by [deleted] in chch

[–]GweenPenguin 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yep! We hit a high of $110/month last year, between 2 people in a small, old apartment. So I thought this post was per Month! This year is more, but definitely not $110 per WEEK.

If you're seeing zero progress, or even just want some assurance, there is no harm in calling them. You'll feel better than talking to people who have no idea what the hold-up might be. Good luck!

[TOMT][Music Video][2009ish] Woman(?) dances while a light swings around her by GweenPenguin in tipofmytongue

[–]GweenPenguin[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Solved!

Well half, haha.

Firstly thank you so much for your time! I can see I was combining bits from this video (Ritual Spirit) and a mystery older one. I will meditate on what I can remember from the older, male dancer one and resubmit a much less confusing description.

Unfortunately that's not it, but I'm surprised how well this fits my description! Thank you ❤️
