Packaging design quality control failure by Countdown on a house-brand item. I think the word 'low' should be in there somewhere!

Can you really call it rice when it doesn't have any, you know, rice in it?

Does chocolate hail fall from the sky on a cold stormy day? :-P

Cauliflower Substitute-For-Rice then. :)

Having added a kilo per year for the last 20 years, I've been reducing carbs for the last few months and it seems to be having a slow and steady (i.e. sustainable) positive impact. I love my carbs so I'm not super strict about it, but making a conscious effort to reduce their intake does not feel like it has been hard at all.

Ian Foster viewing a convincing loss without firing a shot as the Best Performance of the Year (ignoring a convincing win over the Ireland where the All Blacks knew which end of the rugby ball went where)?

Sideface:

From the New York Times coverage of the Alex Jones defamation trial, 05 August:
"[Jones] told this truth only after the plaintiffs’ lawyer revealed that Jones’s lawyer had inadvertently emailed him several hundred gigabytes of Jones’s cellphone records ... "
That's a pretty big mistake - and a remarkable "email" system. 🙃

lol. Spam not expurgated? So lots of ads for penile enlargement and conversations with Nigerian princes.

Actual conversation with courier company today (I rang to track something that just said "In Transit" on the web tracking)

"Yeah. It could potentially have arrived in Christchurch today but I can't see an arrival scan. Quite a lot of our parcels at the moment aren't getting arrival scans though so it isn't unusual."

Doh!! You have only one job...scan parcels and deliver them. It is not brain surgery!!

In that case, I want to complain about what's not in my baby oil.

Most of the posters in this thread are just like chimpanzees on MDMA, full of feelings of bonhomie, joy, and optimism. Fred99 8/4/21

Maybe that's deliberate and they really do intend it as an alternative to carbs? 😆

Not sure if this belongs here or in the "Stupidest Headlines" thread, but here we go:

https://www.stuff.co.nz/pou-tiaki/129519497/blind-man-demands-answers-after-thrifty-denies-him-and-guide-dog-a-rental-car

Say what? A blind man was trying to rent a car???

Had to read down quite a way to see that actually his wife was renting the car - he was a passenger. Idiotic reporting!

Why should someone be barred from renting a car just because he installs window coverings?
