Mattessons Shrinkflation

I bought a snacking sausage. Oh my god, so small, like half the size from before!

Collective COVID Amensia

Inflation has been on the news, and somehow it is now uncouth to point at the major reason.

It was COVID-19, when a lot of the governments borrowed money to support the whole population, and subsequently being conned by millions by opportunistic scumbags.  It was a massive hole that we dug, so we suffered less at the time.

Since it was "so long ago", we shouldn't have to pay for the past mistakes.  

I had envisioned this at the time, and now it has unfolded much like I imagined, I wonder how this inform the governments when this happend next time.

Mistrial by Public Opinion

When a famous company/incorporation, that one has no stake in, hired a questionable staff, who had not commited any criminal activities, why does it have anything to do with general public?

What has the media or any other organisation to scrutinise these companies' internal affairs, in public, with limited facts? 

Mistrial anywhere brings devastation, mistrial by public opinion, orchestrated by media sensationalising incomplete facts is the real problem that we should be dealing with.

Free Banking Power

A lot of banks have work desks with chargers layout.  I used these tables before.  Were they meant to be free power for anyone?  The HSBC Meadowhall had a good setup.

English Curry

I took a friend to have some English Curry.  It was the first time at a curry house, so I explained the typical choices.  So we had fish pakora, onion bhaji, mahkani and butter chicken.  They went down well.  I probably would try another English curry next time.

Solar Eclipse 2026

I only needed to go the an adjacent street to have a clear view to the Sun. I used the phone's aperture to get the projection and tilted it onto the other part of the sensor to capture the image.

The sky wasn't that dark, but the solar output reduction was quite significant, hence the saving session.  So I stayed out for the remaining saving sessions.

Dodgy Charger

I have been travelling with the laptop and the charger is misbehaving.  I really need to look for a spare one before it dies on me.
