It ain't just Britain - - -


For that cartoon:  In Britain it would be "I defended my sister from rape gangs."


In the US, the January 6th people were being punished along those same lines.  The Epstein stuff and child trafficking was about the same and probably would have continued if Trump hadn't interrupted Hilary's coronation.  That corruption is still there, but am hopeful it might get diminished.

Tide pods are so yesterday.
Yeah, there's got to be something in the food and water making people this stupid.

Packing peanuts aren’t food but people are eating them — and the bizarre trend worries experts

Eh.  They're starch-based puffs that use potato or corn starch as a base.  I'm sure they're not as sanitary as most of our food and might contain contaminants that aren't good, but they're nowhere near the danger that article pretends they are.

Dog food is suppose to be safe, packing peanuts not so much

Pretty sure they largely quit making polystyrene packing peanuts years ago.

I know they're still available, but I was under the impression that a lot more states had implemented the biodegradeable only option and that they were on their last legs.

Apparently not.

I just spent five minutes doing battle with staticky packing peanuts, and I can tell you that any packing peanuts are creatures of Satan, staticky or not. As a professional warehouse perfeshinal, I hate them. They are messy.

That is all.

Most of the boxes I get either use wrinkly/corrugated paper packing or the inflatable plastic stuff.

When I'm receiving a package, my favorite packing material is crumpled Benjamins. But that's just me.
