Just having a spot of lunch and the eternal question regarding Ryvita ..... butter on flat side or the side with the indentations? Discuss

I know which I go for .....

 

Err... can't remember which side I used to butter it on, but my instinct says the indentation side.

 

Do you have a bicycle which you would use more if it wasn't such a bleeding effort getting up those hills. Well how about a quick e-bike conversion? Have a look at this. Just launched:

 

For anyone like me who likes a “bit of butter” it’s a no brainer ...... you get a lot more butter on the indentation side

 

Yeah. I seem to remember spreading butter once on the smooth side. One quickly learned.

 

But isn’t Ryvita used in a diet, or have things changed since I last ate one?

 

You know which side it falls on when dropped.
Marmite with butter, without or not at all?

 

Oh with ..... in equal measures ......

 

Diet? DIET? I refuse to accept the “D” word ..... (hence why people say I’m “stocky” )

 

Nothing to do with the pervasive smell of oxo cubes then dave?

 

Whilst I agree with the sentiment, I don't think a lot will change by deleting stuff.

Over the last 5 years we have refreshed our hardware in our 24-7 data centre twice. Each time we have acquired more storage for less power and more servers using less hardware, using virtual machines/virtual NAS etc. The hardware is also becoming more efficient - we use lower power storage systems compared to the storage hanging off a high powered server. I don't have the figures but I would estimate that we have trebled our storage capacity and halved the power consumption. These data centres have to be on 24/7, this will not change. GDPR helps and hinders storage of data as well.

However, as a well known supermarket says "every little helps" so it's not a bad thing to do, but I think there are a lot more pressing areas to save energy

God I sound bah humbug don't I

 

I would think the main issue is the air con in the warehouses, rather than the servers themselves.

 

I love cycling those hills... burns some calories... see incoming post.

 

A few moths back I found a little cheese in Aldi.

Mini roule with black pepper and paprika... oh my it’s heaven.

 

I’d prefer it without the moths I think!

You’re not stocky Dave, just like me you’re possibly a little shorter than you should be

 

Well!! What do you expect! This is worse than not messaging me about a row; not messaging me about a foodie chat!

FFS!

 

Yes ..... according to my BMI, I only have to be 7’3” ......

 

Were they actually selling it, or was it just, sort of lying around looking delicious? You've got to watch out for unscrupulous cheese dealers - they lure you in with "gateway" cheeses like that, and before you know it, you're buying Casu Marzu
