This is the correct answer; after the whole USB 3.2 Gen 2 2x2 (hands of blue) bullshit, I wouldn’t trust that team to name a park bench in the middle of the desert. Let alone something important and universally used.

Apologies, I was one of those calling you out in the original post.

The proper person in-store to escalate things like this to would be the ‘Produce Manager’ (or similar title), as the shelf stackers have no ability to control it and are likely being judged against unreachable KPIs, though the very least they should do would be to pull the signage.

From what I can see on the Woolies website, Australian grown garlic is currently unavailable and cheaper imported 3 Packs (as pictured) are being offered instead.

I’ll check my local tomorrow, and see if it’s across the board (strengthening the argument for an ACCC report) and/or if they’re also scanning up on the POS as Australian or not.

It’s a start; if that recovered money was funnelled directly back into the IRS, they could net as much as a 6x return:

A few years of IRS hyper-vigilance and investment would result in significant gains to the public purse, ensuring that the wealthiest pay their fair share.

Is there much of a retro/collector’s presence at PAX? I’ve only been once, in the before COVID times when it was still finding its feet.

Ill give you this; it was so bad that it looped all the way around and ended up good despite literally everything.

I definitely enjoyed the hell out of it as a kid, but let’s not pretend that it was anything approaching a faithful adaptation.

There’s literally an Aussie Grown garlic in the adjacent container? The one you’re holding is the imported one from an adjacent section.

There’s plenty to shame Woolies over, but this ain’t one. SMH.

While this is definitely an interesting proposition, for most people in the US wouldn’t something like Mark Cuban’s CostPlus drugs website be a more reasonable solution?

It really depends on where you draw the line e in the sand, I suppose?

If you’re not too heavily invested in the game series (so you’re willing to accept retcons/story divergence), and are able to switch your brain off for ~100 minutes you’ve got a decent enough chance that you probably won’t hate it.

More than anything, it just has a lot more in common with the ‘bad old days’ of video game adaptations (live action Mario Bros., anything Uwe Boll touched), than the newer crop of more faithful/reverent adaptations (Sonic, animated Mario etc.).

I have the same feeling after watching this, as I did the Mario movie and the Angry Birds before that..

I’m going to remain skeptical, but somewhat optimistic that this will be relatively watchable and hopefully not a complete dumpster fire like Borderlands..

More volunteers for the Ukrainian ‘Special Operation’!

Have Samsung & Google actually delivered 7 years yet - or is that still just a promise on paper to continue supporting existing products?

Apple for all its faults has at least delivered on this premise.

I actually started with this chore list, and we eventually ended up tweaking it to better suit our particular living conditions:

I mean, generations are only ~15ish years apart - so it tracks..

I’m in House Ryobi; while it does the job, I needed to borrow a tool I didn’t have from our neighbour (wife’s rule; I can only buy one if I need to borrow it 3 times).. he had a set of Bosch Professionals - holy moly, those things are on a whole other level!

Left: Women are the most vulnerable in the world.

Middle: Women are more likely than women in general.

Right: Women are also less susceptible and have less chance for infection.

..it’s like predictive text is having a debate with itself..

I’d love to see a modern take on Cannon Fodder, as well as another entry in the Desert/Urban/Soviet/Nuclear Strike series.

Lastly, there was a very fun demo/mod to Sensible Soccer for the Amiga that set the match between UK and Germany, and replaced the ball with a bomb that would periodically explode and eliminate any nearby players. I’d live to see a modern-day version of this, honestly - just some goofy fun!

..and yes, I am fully aware of just how old this makes me all sound.

In a similar vein to another commenter wanting a pre-Paradise style Burnout; I’d like another NFS:U entry, but honestly am so over ‘open world’ racing games.. give me a good ol’ fashioned menu any day of the week!

I liked the ending of FC5, and think that it lead rather well into the subsequent New Dawn expansion pack.

On the other hand, while I also loved FC3 - I couldn’t get into FC4 at all..

I guess we can conclude that Far Cry is just a very strange series that seems to alienate its fans just about as often as it attracts them!

It’s literally the flayed corpse of Boeing being worn by the parasitic McDonnell Douglas.

That sounds awful; hopefully you were at least able to poison their DB with a fake name and a 10minutemail (or similar) account?
