Microwaved frozen meal for lunch: red prawn curry. With shrimps, not prawns, a spicy red curry, julienned carrots, snow peas, green beans, garden peas, red capsicum, sliced zucchini, onions & jasmine rice.

Excellent value at $3.25

Tomorrow’s weather forecast is interesting, the temperature is expected to peak at 41°C at 5pm and drop to 24°C three hours later with overnight rain.

I say bullshit. It’s not fuel sales that make any money for such places. Fuel sales bring the customer into the shop where the action really starts.

@kdfrawg AFAIK, New Jersey, no self-service. Oregon, self-service now permissible in counties with populations less than 40,000. California, no such restriction.

@kdfrawg Or bone-headed ignorance & pig-headed stupidity. The only restriction we have is no-one under 15 years-old is technically allowed to operate a pump. But no-one of that age-group is allowed to drive anyway. Learners can get a supervised permit at 16 in most states.

Are you sure? I have a Microsoft Live account left over from when I used a Windows Phone. By logging into that account I have access to the online versions of Microsoft Office.

What's so hard about pumping your own fuel, FFS? Oregon is around 8% larger in area than Victoria but with only ⅔ the population we have. I just cannot think of ANY fuel outlet that ISN'T self-service. I have a vague recollection of isolated pump attendants some 35 years ago, I've been driving (legally) for 40 years.

So I bought some of the Old Amsterdam aged gouda to try it out. Nothing new, turns out I’ve been buying that occasionally for about ten years or more.
Nothing new but a beautiful firm, not hard texture and terrific flavour.

Just been looking at 480 GB SSD prices, plenty of them around $220 or less.

The SanDisk 240 GB unit in my old MBP cost me $112 a year ago. That’s not unreasonable.
