Why is it.................?

From a kosher point of view - which will be similar - you can’t prepare treifah (non kosher items) using surfaces or utensils ritually codified for kosher use.

So it (your pork kebab) would likely require separate kitchens, utensils, all handling and cleaning up facilities. You can’t even wash mixed cutlery. Just not economical.

Maybe you have to find a blind chef with no sense of smell, lol.

And if he plays a mean game of pinball that would be a bonus!

Damn, the shops are introducing Christmas carols earlier and earlier, aren't they?!??!

So I’ve got a Mazda CX-3 hire car this week.
Why is it that the door lock buttons are on the SIDE of the key and are a whopping 3 mm x 8 mm and are of course black in a black key.

FFS Form over function crap again.
And the steering wheel offset is huge. Idiots.

I've had 3 Roxette songs on earworm rotation for over a fortnight!
I can't stand these songs.


(did they have more than 3 songs? we can only hope not)

Also have an ongoing earworm of Get Back. I watched the Rooftop Concert last night in hope of sating the earworm beast. It’s been moderately successful.

There’s aural nutrition where you put a track on repeat until you tire of it, and yet aural ear worm pollution is a thing.
Strange.

Thats an earworm I can live with.
I posted that Rooftop set in the Entertainment thread just the other day

Why is it that if I pay cash for something its rounded to the nearest 0, 5 or 10 cents, if fuel is $20.02 cents i only pay 20 bucks at the till, but if I use a plastic card I am charged to the "cent" with no rounding out?
I thought that was law?


Cheers Billy.

[MITCHAY]

Isn't it obvious? They don't have to round up or down with cards. A bit hard to pay that 2 cents when our lowest denomination is 5c in cash and I'm pretty sure they have even stopped or will soon stop making those

1 & 2 cents – rounded DOWN to the nearest 10
3 & 4 cents – rounded UP to the nearest 5
6 & 7 cents – rounded DOWN to the nearest 5
8 & 9 cents – rounded UP to the nearest 10

Its not obvious.
Money is money cash or card, if the Government wants to do away with 1 and 2 cent coins as legal tender then should that not apply to cards too, if 1 and 2 cent coins don't exist in reality then how do they exist in theory on plastic?


Cheers Billy.

[Ben73]

If you buy something for 92c you pay 90c. If you buy two you pay $1.85.
It's a conspiracy!

[wodahs]

the conspiracy it things are usually priced so they can round up

and i had this question to a fuel place i use to use
once it was able to be rounded down but they didnt
next time it was closer to be rounded up and they did
and i queried it with the counter clerk who didnt want to know , also went as far as to go get the previous receipt from the car to prove
and short story is i dont use them any more and now use a fuel station where you pay your self and its charged on exactly what you use and cheaper than others

the question should be
why is it
they charge in a way that requires rounding down or up when they know it cant be paid this way by cash payments

If find it ironic that people who are concerned about cross pollination of food are the same people who use their hand instead of toilet paper to clean their sphincter after a bowl movement.

[Yellow_Festiva]

Why is it that you can't contact a seller on Carsales once a car is on hold.

Been watching a few that have been on hold for a month.

It's either sold or available...

Probably deserves to be in the Geeze I hate that thread too because I really hate that...

Cross-pollination ? Cross-contamination.
Unless you’re referring to this -

There once was a man from Australia
Who painted his bum like a dahlia
The artwork was fine
And the colours divine
But the aroma - now that was a failure.

No, it's (re)solved. At the end of the day if paying in cash, you can't physically pay in any other increments other than 5 cents. But you can on a card.

Where are you?

I can suggest a few places in Sydney that do something close to a Pork kebab.

Bloody delicious too.

Yep.... same thing happens for daylight saving.... Bells become out of whack 1hr.

I guess both situations can't be planned for

Its apparently due to you only taking one trolley, all the other trolleys are clunkers but you don't know that because you are only pushing one of them!

Or it could be trolley "karma" or even "Murphy's Law" have you ever talked to your trolley in a demeaning manner?..or cussed?...trolleys may have feelings too you know!...

I see it as a life metaphor. Got the idea right, but needing constant input to keep on the path.
