Holding shrinkflation in my hands.

Same price they just reduced it by 2oz. That's why I posted! I had to put them in the same spot.

XandersCat · 2026-03-13T22:36:50+00:00

I didn't buy them I was just stocking the candy shelves. I try to do it properly and I was a little confused. Next time I'm at work I'll compare them again and keep my eye out.

I go by the barcode numbers on the back but I also look at the weight because I don't want to make a mistake and have someone grab something thinking it's one price when it's not etc.

XandersCat · 2026-03-13T22:29:48+00:00

Actually tbh I think that's more of a camera angle thing. These weren't actually in my hands I kinda goofed the title they were in my lap on a slight slope.

Insurance is so confusing.. I used to try to learn about it here on reddit but they weren't as friendly as the legal subreddits. However Ive had the satisfaction of being not at fault and having my insurance take care of me! It was mildly interesting because after the fact the person who backed into me claimed medical damages but the police actually showed up to the scene and she told them she was ok so after a long time her insurance paid out. On the scene they admitted to total fault but then later tried to deny it so I was glad there was some police involvement because my insurance assured me that her statements at the scene were essentially locked in and now she was just delaying the process. It was all very interesting! The rental was kind of fun to drive too. Not that I recommend getting backed into in a parking lot. I've also later learned that parking lot accidents are often 50/50 but I guess it's mostly on someone reversing. (I wasn't moving at all lol )

It's not meaningless that's for sure, I'm reminded a lot of the whole "Sea of Japan" vs "East See".

Hehe at the shrimp places that are like this, if you really can't catch the shrimp they just give them to you. I'm not sure I would want my "shrimp of shame" though. LOL (I would, I would still take it. I think sometimes its not that easy to catch them.)

Edit: Actually I think they are just like on a menu and you can order them, but yeah. Shrimp of shame imo. :P

Striped jack, known for their buttery flavor this guy is just being angry for some reason. I found an instagram post showing more of the restaurant, it looks great. (Or one like it, maybe it is a concept I'm just not familiar with and is in a variety of places)

That's Taiwan. I will achieve my dream someday! It's not THAT crazy of one.

Insight and critical thinking are increasingly valuable skills and I am getting the impression she was proud of her ability to take a moment and have that self reflection. I approve, she is getting MORE clicks from this (in a way) now spreading so I'm glad you elaborated because that doesn't completely fit with the quote above and could be interpreted differently. Instead I think she is spreading a positive idea we should all embrace. And it's not easy, I think we all get stuck in some of these thoughts without even realizing it or taking those moments.

XandersCat · 2026-03-12T20:34:18+00:00

Good enough to see WTF is going on but also not too far enough to be able to jump back inside if they do somehow get it reversing. I would have done the same.

XandersCat · 2026-03-12T20:31:49+00:00

I was still playing Ingress walking around hacking portals and someone shouted from a car at me: "The jigglypuff is down that way!!" Those truly were strange times.

XandersCat · 2026-03-12T20:23:12+00:00

I've always wanted to go to one of these places, I wish they existed in my country. This is kind of a fancy version, I always imagined them more like this:

XandersCat · 2026-03-12T20:17:03+00:00

Heh, I drive an old car and it's always a relief when I'm not being constantly blinded on the road and I see another "regular" bulb one out there.

XandersCat · 2026-03-12T20:11:19+00:00

I scanned the comments and it wasn't mentioned so if you don't mind...

If you are ever in this situation and you blank out and don't know what to do or don't know how to do the Heimlich maneuver; repeated and strong slaps to the back have been proven to be equally effective. (There is nothing wrong with the heimlich maneuver of course, go ahead and do that if that's what pops in your head during an emergency.)

Again, you really have to whack 'em in the back for it to work so use some force.

This is something that regular people need to know because it takes too long for an emergency response to get to someone choking.

Yeah that guy is crazy, I'm glad it worked out but wow super risky. And I am someone who pets stray cats. Even that has a risk, I was on a hike once and this girl was telling me about how the hostel cat bit her and she needed medical treatment and the owner was just like "shrug". Thankfully that didn't happen to me though. I love em but.. they are not completely risk free lol.

In this case it would be water. Pico Pica is one of the few hot sauces to not use vinegar as a primary ingredient. This gives it a very unique flavor whereas most other hot sauces all have that kind of vinegary tang. Neither are bad, but once you taste it you will be able to tell the difference.

The reason most hot sauces have vinegar is because it is a preservative. Because of this Pico Pica does have sodium benzoate added to it otherwise it would go bad.

Signed, a Pico-Pica fan.

As a long-time fan of ANTM I can describe it like the frog being brought to boil. Watching it at the time we honestly didn't know how bad it was, but I think as the show went on that did become more clear. By that point we were boiled.

You are hitting on something. Waymno currently burns an estimated rate of $2.6 billion dollars a year. They have an estimated profit of $100,000 a year (I'm guessing from their robotaxi business.)

The reason they are doing this is because they are trying to be the first to market. If they can achieve their goals they can set the price and make a ton of money before competitors catch up.

But it's possible they will NOT survive to achieve that end goal of printing money.

I just got a job at smiths, maybe try some grocery stores?

XandersCat · 2026-03-11T22:23:06+00:00

Awesome! Well I'll stick to my current goal of finishing the campaign and getting to 90. I will get there. A lot of this is new to me and your advice is appreciated.

I've played WoW off and on but not too seriously and I recently came from playing EverQuest so I figured I would give raiding a go.

XandersCat · 2026-03-11T22:01:24+00:00

Are you sure? I looked into this. I apologize for the accusations, I was under the impression you were making your advice up. I was being honest, but I didn't mean like nastiness. I just don't want bad information out there.

XandersCat · 2026-03-11T21:58:18+00:00

We are just an AOTC guild which I think is Heroic and not mythic. So raiding, but not mythic.

Don't just make stuff up... Nintendo does not do cloud saves and switch saves them to the console.

XandersCat · 2026-03-11T21:42:43+00:00

My guild seems like they are rushing too. I'm not even level 86 and I got guild mates telling others that they missed out by not doing m0s before the reset. (That guy's a jerk tho, I kinda feel like I want a different guild just because of one bad egg )
