Can't find where the meat product comes from on line either.

Everything other than the "manufactured meat pork"?

MANUFACTURED MEAT
PORK, WATER, SALT, ACIDITY REGULATORS (326, 262), SUGAR, HONEY, DEXTROSE (MAIZE, TAPIOCA), THICKENERS (1412, 407a, 415), EMULSIFIERS (450, 451, 508), ANTIOXIDANTS (316, 392), POTATO FIBRE, SODIUM NITRITE (250), CANOLA OIL, CITRUS FIBRE.
MAY CONTAIN SOY.

I typically don't buy Don stuff, simply because most of the 'meat' is not sourced from Australia. The only exception is Don skinless franks as they seem to be the only brand that don't repeat on me (I think it's the preservative in other brands that causes it).

Bad as some of the faux “meats” marketed to vegetarians.

Never quite understood not meats. Unless its for allergy reasons, i thought vegitarianism or veganism was a lifestyle choice. So why uphold that choice but want to eat things that 'taste' like meat?

[Citroënbender]

I think they’re sometimes bought and served up in good faith by people wanting to cater for a vegetarian, without actually being one themselves.

Personally I’d rather have (say) tempeh than some butchered soy product supposed to be “just like” a schnitzel.

[Citroënbender]

Poking my fingers into an SU carb for work, it’s been 15+ years since I’ve had one apart. They supplied a new float pivot pin in the kit, but it’s a bit roughly made - came with a very fine nipple on the end. Care factor obviously very low.

I was sitting on the throne Thursday morning and heard this thud and then clumps of dust falling from my Tastic thinking WTF?

Anyways could see the face plate come lose a bit and thought no worries just clip it back on when I get home after work.

I get home and think I'l just clip it back on except you cant.

So then I think I will cleanup all the crap in there. Well was quite surprise just how much there was, shit everywhere in my ensuite. I look into the vent and was like what is that big blocker there.

I poke it thinking it was just clumps of of dust but no some dumbarse has covered part of the vent with insulation and the fan is rubbing on it and carving it off

The mystery was solved though because there was just some spring hanging randomly and by looking at the face plate the hook gave way causing the issue in the first place

It’s an ethical thing. ie not wanting to kill an animal. But they clearly realise bacon tastes great so want a product that can give the flavour but not the kill

Ordered a new handbrake boot for my FG II Ecoboost the other day, tried to fit it and it split, as the seam was sewn incorrectly.. Anyone else had this problem. Ebay cost delivered was 18 gorillas.

Selling off lots of parts I've been hanging onto for too long.
Have a brand new in the box Ford set of rear mud flaps for XA XB XC.
Scored them when the FIL died 20 years ago, he had an XB.
So they bring about $300 or more so time to sell.
Open up to take pictures, spot the problem, could be on The 1% Club.



So is this like stamps or coins, worth more because of the mistake? I wish

Is it because the instructions might be a misprint?

Nope. Somebody will spot it soon, it's a big blunder.

2 of the same side?

The steel bracket mounting on the wrong side.

Bingo.
They're both right hand side flaps.
What a PITA, could have got some good coin there.

Paying good money for a supposedly premium products but getting cheap garbage in return.

Noise cancelling headphones, a great way for me shut out and escape from the world while detailing or messing around in the garage. Twice now I have sidestepped the cheap stuff, thinking paying the extra would land me with a quality product.

The first being a set of Sennheiser SPXC 550-II. When they worked, they were very nice, comfortable. But they began cycling on and off if, you know, moved you head at all. The magnet-controlled power up/down switch not sufficiently strong enough to stay in the on position. Completely useless within a very unreasonable period of time. Total garbage.

The second I bought to replace the Sennheisers, the Sony WH-1000xm4. Initially, they were fantastic, even more comfortable. But the stupid touch pads were schizophrenic, so you would end up turning certain functions on and off accidentally, then have to go and figure out how to reset them. The "speak to talk" function a completely useless thing that would activate by ambient noise like, say, a pressure washer. Now they refuse to charge, even after attempting the hack fixes found online. Complete junk after only a couple of years. Again, bought at considerable expense.

Makes me so friggen mad, you pay a premium and get nothing in return. And yet, we keeping buying this sh.t and therefore keep these companies alive, who then keep selling cheap, nasty Chinese crap at premium prices.

So, Sony and Sennheiser can go and get fu.ked.

It’s the same with hardware at the big green category destroyer.
It’s not quite a recent thing, noticed for the last 5-10 years hardware items labelled as galvanised,stainless etc rust within 5 mins of install. Door locks fail within 12 months so you step up from a $20 one to a $40 one thinking it will be better, but the inner workings are the same 3 cent part across the range, bunnos must make a killing on all this rubbish.

I just wanna say...

My definition of expensive is paying x amount of $$$ for something that didn't do what you paid X amount of $$$$ for it to do.

Would you say a Rolls Royce is expensive? I say no, because it did, and will continue to do, exactly what you paid x amount of dollars for it to do.
