This century already bores me.

I was then!
What a time to be alive!
Though my little corner of the world is relatively uneventful ..

So far, it looks very much like the 20th century. Same sh*t, different actors.

It's easy to take for granted those uneventful, average kind of days.
It's hard to guess what the next WTF event will be on a personal or global level.
On one hand history repeats itself, on the other, things can change rapidly.
No, not boring.

Those who don't learn from history are doomed to repeat it.
Those who do learn from history are doomed to stand by helplessly while others repeat it.

Meh.
I don't really lose any sleep over the idea that mankind may be closer to annihilation than at any time in the past.
We just now live in a world where the media's job is to constantly remind us of it.

I found out about my last bonus via payroll before getting an official notice from my manager. That's something else though... 🍞💩🍞
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, weighing all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

tacky - but they re-did my mortgage after ridiculous hoop jumping. I blame this on the feds.
Many years ago, DEC was tossing people. I know of two people that were in the field and received voice mail...
There was a very high level support team that got laid-off - their answering message was something like "Well, we've all been let go, yada yada, we hope the best for you. Bye."
Best advice I ever got from two VPs: 1)"Remember this is not how you run a company." 2) "Sometimes, the best thing you can do for a person is fire them."

My understanding is that honey doesn't spoil. Is this strictly a marketing ploy?
|
|
|
|
|
To avoid disrespect to the bees.

Bottled honey can crystalize, and the best by date is based on how fast this occurs. You can decrystalize honey by putting it in the sun or in warm water.
|
|
|
|
|
Interesting. I thought the crystalizing was more a factor of the temperature and exposure to light while the honey sits on the shelf.
|
|
|
|
|
It does, but if you keep your honey in a dark cabinet the best by date is a pretty accurate guess for when crystallization will become noticeable.
|
|
|
|
|
I would not be surprised if this is to get you to throw it out and buy more. A company is not going to make much money on their honey if no one buys more.
|
|
|
|
|
I imagine it's just a legal requirement.
Food producers don't want to be sued if someone gets sick eating 10 year old honey.
Also, honey needs to be stored properly to last a long time.

Indeed.
There is an expiry date on the salt I have in the kitchen.

Because if you leave us in the bottle for too long you will see us at our worst instead of at our best.

Ahhh yes. HTC speaks from personal experience!

The workaround to the expiration date is, when you get the jar home (it would take 20 years to get the label off it so I don't recommend that approach), pour the contents into any used 20w50 oil bottle. Preferably one that is not see-through (thus avoiding any talk of crystallizations/etc).
You do own a lawn mower don't you?

As I understand most of the honey found in market is adulterated. Adding some other stuff like sucrose syrup to increase quantity. Once you add stuff to it there has to be an expiry date.
