ICE can be a lot cheaper if you book ahead.
Non-ICE on the Deutschlandticket is a goddamned bargain, so long as you navigate the gotchas on the payment and recurring.

Or in a similar vein, the ship’s cat has evolved into a suave humanoid with impeccable taste in fashion.

That’s really interesting. So what you’re saying is, Germany sold more to the states than they bought, but the states were able to “keep” the money by marking off that Germany had so much gold.

And I guess now, Germany is concerned that the states may no longer honour that ledger.

I love pom-bears, but love Lidl’s Teddy’s Hit even more.
Unfortunately, I’ve never seen them for sale in the UK.

North Taytos, or South Taytos?
A very important question.

I quite like the tesco finest crinkle cut ready salted.
150g bag for £1.25 or so. The only downside is, the flavour varies (I think it’s the freshness of the oil for that batch).

Tyrell’s are good.
They’re owned by KP Snacks, a UK based company, who also make:

I have some of the NFC/USB sticks Token2 make.
Which are neat, as you can stick the seeds on there, then retrieve them so long as you have physical access, and the passkey.

Imagine if they introduced a law, that if you had defaulted on your student loans, you were not able to get a passport.
That would reduce the number of highly skilled people leaving the country if it got really shit.

They do a pretty clear discount for the first domain and year you register, but they’re also very honest about the ongoing charges.

They also give you one free mailbox per contract, which is a nice touch imho.

Rawl brand have these notes on the plastic, which I think is neat.

Brown plug, 7mm hole, 5-6mm screw.

Even a little gauge to go with it.

I find getting stuff from local (or at least, national) businesses leads to far less utter shit.

Amazon might have it for a fiver…But you’ll spend an hour working out if it’s actually decent, and half the time it shows up as dogshit quality, with no compliance with local safety requirements.

Meanwhile, Argos might be a little more, but if you get something that’s actually built to be sold in the UK. An actual product that does what it’s supposed to, rather than a seller gambling you can’t be arsed to return it.

Lakeland is another example. I could buy some random bit of kitchenware from dropshipper_28, and hope it works, and doesn’t poison me…Or, I could go into Lakeland, and be reasonably confident that the one they stock is well regarded, and works.

TK Maxx is an example of the complete opposite: So much utter utter crap there mixed in with the half decent stuff.
Not worth my life sifting through it!

I can agree with this: All the hype around KCD:2 led me to buying/playing KCD:1

Deathworlders universe

Downright feudal at the end, though! Just gotta hope you’re a rich/lucky landowner.

Good if you want to buy 4MB of stolen ram, however.

Personal spaceships commonly available?

Lots of unusual, but generally friendly aliens?

The Space Dandyverse wouldn’t be too horrid.

Or if you’re just going for a single router/modem/wap combo, most of the fritz boxes that look like this have mounting holes on the back so you can hang them off the wall, flat.

Parkside warranty was impressively good when I needed to use it.

They happily replaced the tool by manufacture date alone, which was great when the receipt was long gone.

It’s why Bosch’s Power4All is a bit frustrating.

Shared batteries…with about 4 manufacturers…and not on the Bosch’s professional tools.

Don’t get me wrong, I still achieve a lot with my Bosch green tools. And my Flymo ones on the same battery.

But it’s a real shame more mfgs weren’t involved.

Just check the source of your blades.
My favourites (well, the cheapest decent ones) turned out to be from russia.
