Went to Apple to have my phone battery replaced. They have to order it. No lLas Vegas stores have a battery for an 18 month old model.

I have trouble with canned corned beef. I only use it for a single dish - labskaus. Otherwise, it is pretty disgusting, but in labskaus, it blends into nothing into the dish the way that is expected. I tried to make it with actual corned beef once and the texture was wrong.

Well, see, that's you're problem: you're assuming corned beef is food.

Corned beef out of the can isn't, but I tried making labskaus with regular corned beef and I got roasted by norddeutschers, lol.

Things that I've completely given up on finding in person during the last 12 months:
Red Gatorade powder.
Bud lite lime (Sometimes you just gotta have 6 beers at once).
Most non standard batteries.
Cat medicine.
Physical copies of games.
Chick-fil-A sauce.
Allergy medicine..

My grocery store must have fucked up. They were selling 10 big bottles for $10 a couple weeks ago

Just LOL if you're not walking into a Chik-Fil-A bricks and mortar location and nonchalantly stealing all the sauces out of that bowl they provide for people to return unused sauce packets.

Fucking based. Killing off USA importing is the best way to revitalise the economy. Of course that would be true if the economy wasn't already in the shitter.

Imagine Biden fucks up USA Importing, and Trump, instead of repairing that industry, pushes for the US to rebuild it's manufacturing capabilities instead.
Biden might accidentally be giving Trump exactly what he needs to Make America(n Industry) Great Again!

You realize you'll have to actually pay laborers more than a few pennies per hour and the price of your products will go up anyways.

Oh well. Does it mean Chinese people will starve to death and overthrow the communists? I'm fine with that. Can we start tomorrow?

You'd also have to acknowledge that manufacturing means a waste cycle that consists of more than sunbeams and rainbow farts and allow for that reality in your regulatory regime.

I've actually seen that happen twice in Massachusetts, but I don't remember why. It was 10+ years ago.

Today's update from Crimps, Screws, and Other Fasteners Hell -- M4 screws under 20mm in length are myths. Home Depot and Lowe's don't even have SKUs for them. Digikey and Mouser are OOS on anything that's not some weirdly-specific partially-threaded model (which they also want over $2 a pop for, and no, they're not titanium). Amazon says they have a few things in stock but they either don't, or can't figure out where in their warehouse network the handful of units actually are if you try to order. McMaster-Carr has a hoard, but even they're missing some sizes if you scroll through their catalogue.
It's even worse if you want small-diameter shoulder spacers. Your choices largely boil down to paying Misumi $30-80 or more to custom fab you something, or just going ahead and killing yourself now to escape the pain.
Bonus, slightly less autistic content -- Electric toothbrush heads. You need soft bristles? No. Only standard. Fuck you and your gums.

People won't even have gums in 5 fucking years time if the shortage of NHS Dentists continues like this. We already got no teeth left.
But never mind that. The penny is finally starting to drop! The predictive programming is being ramped up to let the plebs really know what time it is, boyeee...
The Golden Age of travel is over: All our lives, we've taken it for granted. But now with airports in chaos, £100 to fill up your car and trains on strike, social historian DOMINIC SANDBROOK says the future is bleak for getaway-lovers
Just imagine a world in which, almost overnight, the transport system breaks down. Flights across the world are cancelled, leaving thousands of travellers stranded far from home.
Airports are crowded with mobs of angry, frightened people. Even greater throngs descend on the railway stations, desperate to squeeze on to the horribly overcrowded trains.
Meanwhile, the roads fall eerily silent, as rocketing petrol prices make it prohibitively expensive for all but the richest to drive long distances.
For businesses across the Western world — hotels and restaurants, cafes and newsagents, garages and tour operators — this would be nothing short of a disaster.
It would leave us poorer, more isolated, more introverted and more ignorant: prisoners not just on our own island, but in our own towns and our own homes.
It sounds like the stuff of some dystopian fantasy. In reality, it's the story of what's been happening over the past few weeks.
Fucking hell! Sugar coat the fucking pill why don't you!
Jesus. That all sounds real bad.
Except most of us have been living it for the last years anyway, so, sucks to be YOU!
But it's getting worse!
This morning, thanks to the biggest nationwide strike for 30 years, railway stations across Britain have fallen silent. More than a million commuters have been forced to work from home or take to the roads, with enormous queues expected to block motorways and major arteries.
In London, Tube workers are striking all day, shutting down much of the capital's Underground network. The authorities have begged people to stay at home, but any remaining services are expected to be packed to capacity.
And there's worse to come. More strikes are scheduled for Thursday and Saturday, as part of the RMT's campaign for higher pay and an end to redundancies.
Ok, how I am expected to get to Glastonbury and erect my Yurt?
The dooming in the article continues:
The union boasts of 'the biggest rail strike in modern history' bringing Britain to a standstill.
And should the disruption continue — endangering supermarket food deliveries and causing forecourt pumps to run dry — some analysts warn the Government may be forced to suspend remaining passenger services to keep freight moving.
There's even grimmer news ahead. With petrol prices soaring, the RAC estimates that it now costs an eye-watering £103.13 to fill a typical family car with petrol, and a whopping £106.79 for a diesel car.
For some families, the prospect of a quick, cheap drive to the shops is already disappearing out of reach.
And if you're hoping to go abroad this summer, you may have to think again. In the past few weeks, Europe's airports have descended into utter chaos, with gigantic queues at security and tearful scenes as flights were cancelled.
That's it. I've read enough now.
I guess us poor people have to remain poor. I guess the rich will always be rich.
But for those poor suckers in the middle, those with any kind of agency to travel or spare cash left to spend on discretionary items, well, the rich are coming for your cash too. And they're gonna get it! Inflation is just another word for 'nothing left to lose'...
Get used to it. It's the way it's gonna be for a while.
It's as if there is a reason for all these ""delays"" at airports, and the reason you have been given: staff shortages - well, that might not be the real reason after all, according to this article.
