Potentially the longest thread in history...

Yeah. Trying to make a decision last night was murder. My wife got a piece of Butterfinger pie (if you don't have Butterfinger candy bars over there you need to order some, seriously), my mother-in-law got a slice of red velvet cake, my daughter got Oreo cheesecake (was big enough for her to split between her and her two girls), and my aunt got a piece of Snickers cheesecake.

We don't have them natively but they might have them in the American aisle in the supermarkets. I shall give them a go

I just love how there's an "American" aisle in supermarkets there... I want to know what all is there

Do you not have international sections in supermarkets？

I usually just get my shops delivered and there is always a world foods section for frozen and cupboard stuff.

Yeah, in my local Walmart equivalent (Tesco Extra) we have aisles for America, Spain, Poland, Japan, and a couple others. I'll take a photo next time I'm there

Today, I'm messing with my Proliant G5. Ordered some cables to run 3.5" drives in it, and about to test Windows To Go on it.

Practically impossible to know everything even in a field of your expertise. Especially at ~20 years of age

AMEN to that! i "retired" (disability) my chosen field after 34 years. and i do not think a day went by that i did not learn something. technology never sits still for long. combine that with the ingeniousness of humans, and there is a surprise around every corner.

TIL don't just randomly grab stuff off the shelf at Waitrose and put it in your basket. I saw some slow cooked New Zealand lamb that looked nice, so I put it in my basket. Expected it to be about $10 to $12. MFW I get to the checkout and it's $25

I guess that's what you get for shopping at the premium high end supermarkets

If I don't know or can't find the price I don't put it in the basket, period. Call me a cheap f***er but that's me. Even if I can afford it I will still pass if I feel the price is more than I think it should be.

Like the phone I want. I could buy it from several different sources but just because I usually use one over the others doesn't mean I will pay an extra $100 for the privilege of buying through them. A new phone is a new phone and I am only loyal as long as it makes sense for my billfold.
