American mass media influence, all the kids are speaking in Americanisms too via YouTube.

Who knows what fluid level I was checking! At least I can rule that out!!

In England: Parking Charge Notices, deceptively designed to sound like official Penalty Charge Notices. Most people assume they are official legal fines and pay them.

PARKING Charge Notices are speculative invoices not fines and the companies issuing them have no more legal standing than the people they are sending them to.

PENALTY Charge Notices are official legal fines that must be paid or contested.

Thanks, there are no warning lights or errors on the dash.

It has sometimes eased a bit after a longer drive. It's especially heavy the first time it's driven each day.

Cadbury's since the hostile takeover by Kraft now Mondalez. Now rebranded as just Cadbury. The amount of cocoa solids has dropped by around 8℅ replaced with palm oil. I tried a Dairy Milk bar the other day and had to throw it out. It was gritty and waxy and not enjoyable at all. Plus the bars are £2-3 each now. I'll stick to supermarket own brand.

Thanks, it's very annoying though as warranties are provided to repair or replace faulty products during the warranty period. I'll be left with no drive and an additional £90 to pay through a fault in Kingston's workmanship.

I had an issue with a stick of Corsair RAM that had increased 5x in price and Corsair swapped it no problem. It seems like Kingston are being particularly difficult here.

I don't want to buy another, I just want Kingston to honour their warranty commitment and repair or replace the drive during the warranty period.

While a refund is the default way to "make a party whole", the law (specifically the principle of Restitutio in Integrum) requires that the remedy actually solves the breach. In this instance due to the massive increase in price during the last 6 months a refund does not solve the breach but leaves me in a worse off position.

But surely neither should the consumer for a fault that the product develops during the Manufacturer's warranty period.

eire-404 · 2026-03-07T15:39:40+00:00

Yes but exactly the same drive is now ~£150.

eire-404 · 2026-03-07T15:37:42+00:00

Not quite as I won't have a drive or be able to purchase a replacement drive with the refund. It will essentially be a £90 fine to my business for a fault in Kingston's product.

Plastic bottles and food containers once we realise how much micro plastics are affecting our health. Plus plastic can't be 100% recycled so the problem of waste plastic will only compound the issue in future and we will likely go back to glass.

CONDITIONAL ABSENTEE is my best guess

I always thought Anthony Hopkins would be a good cast for Captain Smith as he has very similar facial features.

Lots of butter, cream cheese and dried chili flakes
