Sainsbury's? They charge you for it then issue you a voucher for the extra cost which you can use for up to 30 days. If it's cheaper I think they just refund the difference when the order's picked. I think Tesco still give you the substitution for no extra charge but it's been a while.

Bitterly disappointed with 5G in this country. Left is UK typical and right is from when I was in Lisbon. Assume 5G+ is the new 5G, and 5G is the new 4G.

I'm still boggling over the noodles. You're a supermarket picker, stood in front of the Stir Fry Meal Deal. There aren't any spicy egg noodles - I'd grab the regular egg noodles as a substitute. A veg pack makes absolutely no sense.

Anyone else having problems with Sainsbury's home deliveries? Today's comedy was crispy tempura chicken substituted for "flaming spicy chicken", and sriracha noodles swapped for a very expensive Taste The Difference stir-fry veg kit... And on top of that two packs of frozen food torn open (again)

The difference in UK and US temperament is in the UK we “couldn’t care less” and the Yanks “could care less”. So the UK starts at complete disinterest, but the US has an innate level of enthusiasm that still has the capacity to move downwards. The Aussies, of course, don’t give a fuck.

My current ick is seeing people in the arts use AI for posters/anything at all. I don’t care if you’re a kids choir or a small amateur dramatics group, make your own poster, make it part of *your* art and, crucially, not the same as every other death/agreement machine creation.

I'm convinced AI is our generation's radium - a discovery with genuinely useful applications in specific, controlled circumstances that we stupidly put in everything from kid's toys to toothpaste until we realised the harm far too late where future generations will ask if we were out of our minds.

#Quantel repair time! Salvaged two NVRAMs from a dead CPU43 board so they can be used as replacements on CPU board that needs new ones. Quite a job to remove them as the 'Snaphat' ICs are SMD so Quantel made these adaptor boards with very fiddly turned pins. All good to go!

Abusive narcisits seek out power. Its how they maintain control. They know their behavior pushes people away, so they make themselves the social center and make everyone else feel like they’re an essential part of everything when they actually contribute nothing.

I've never seen a working one. The Rodime drives inside them are pushing 40 years old now, and they were hit-and-miss when they were new. Both of the ones I saw had bad spindle bearings. I suppose you could get one going with a Pico506 or Decromancer board - but at that point it's a big empty box.

Interesting advert! Back in 1995 at university I made a hologram using a HeNe (Helium Neon) laser. I still have the glass photographic plate. The dark smudge in the middle is the interference pattern of the hologram. It can only be viewed by shining a HeNe back through it. (632.8nm wavelength)

So a developer who wants a data center center to be built near Hazelton, PA is offering $10,000 to the citizens. The citizens are pushing back saying it's a bribe & they don't want the noise. www.tomshardware.com/tech-industr...

Data center developer offers $10,000 checks to 4,500 households if the 1,300-acre facility is approved — locals push back over noise and 'bribe' concerns
Report says that many residents are rejecting the offer due to fears of noise, falling property values, and mistrust.

Feminism doesn't require women to see trans+ people as the enemy. For many of us, feminism has always meant challenging inequality, standing alongside people whose rights are under threat, and refusing to accept that one group's equality must come at another's expense. That's our feminism too.

“I have grown incredibly exasperated at the portrayal of ‘gender critical’ perspectives as representing all women when my feminism has ALWAYS been inclusive and intersectional.”
