@selzero@Nonya_Bidniss sadly, an inside source tells me that the administration, and some of target's suppliers, were coercing them into cooperation. I'm told they literally had no choice, they expected exactly this to happen, and their efforts to find a way out of the demands never bore fruit.
@fesshole In the US, only milk is required to have an expiration date printed on it. All other "best by" dates are nothing more than a guess about how long it will take for the food to be of optimal quality. An example of this is canned pasta, which slowly absorbs the liquid over time causing the sauce to become thicker and the noodles to become mushier. Still perfectly safe to eat, just less pleasant to do so.
More adventures in donating plasma. Today, I managed to clog the blood filter. The technician had to come over and keep tapping it with a pen to keep the blood flowing through it. My donation ended up taking an extra half hour. By the time they got me out of there, they had already turned off most of the lights.
I misread a furry dating ad as "free beans in your area" and I'm disappointed to realize it actually said bears. The image was them waving in fursuit, so I thought they were talking about those beans 💔
Finally got around to sleeving my copy of Nemesis lockdown. Despite the fact that the last time we played we were mixing cards and parts from four different boxes, I ended up missing no cards and only having one extra.
So you know that package of mine that's been stuck in customs for over a month? Yeah well I've been at the convention for all of about 3 hours and they just delivered it. Buddy of mine is going to grab it on his way to the convention since he got a slow start to the day. I did not tell him that it contains.... Let's call it a silicon adult novelty product. Which is the real reason I don't want it sitting out for 4 days in 100° weather. I mean it's probably not good for the sealed bearings either.
