Strangely, I had something similar with my Android, which initialized itself to the wrong day and hour but promptly corrected itself. Maybe after all we've been through with Covid there is now a new ( electronic) virus? of course this is a major leap from just our two two cases.fresh_42 said:

But, CFA's version seems (not sure) like shrinkflation. It's been a year since I've had them, so I don't recall 100% what they're like then. Pricing feels about the same.
I had a chicken biscuit this week. Didn’t notice anything. In my experience, there is a fair amount of variance in both the chicken and the biscuit size.kyphysics said:
Strange; I thought the whole point of chains was to provide standardization, which usually implies little variability.caz said:
I often see some trying to get away with such tricks: 50% of lunch where they serve you close to half the usual portion and they charge you for everything short of a plate: Ah, you want a chair/fork/napkin? That will be extra!kyphysics said:
I thought the chicken pieces (I bought several of the chicken biscuit sandwiches) seemed a lot thinner compared to the past, but with it being over a year, I just wasn't sure.caz said:
The taste was fantastic, though. At least I didn't notice lower quality ingredients.I've never worked in the food industry but I can see how tempting it would be to cut down on quality or amounts of ingredients when times are bad, though it usually has disastrous consequences.kyphysics said:I thought the chicken pieces (I bought several of the chicken biscuit sandwiches) seemed a lot thinner compared to the past, but with it being over a year, I just wasn't sure.
If they're the same, then I'd say their chicken just IS sort of on the thin side then (for my tastes).
Didn't even know they played rugby. I thought it was an Anglo country sport.fresh_42 said:
They do and it is pretty famous in France. Even Macron is present. And they are not that bad, although this match is a bit boring up to now. 22 minutes and no try.WWGD said:
H'about you Deutsche? Play Rugby too?fresh_42 said:
They do, and they play football, too. But I'm not sure whether I would call either one rugby or football.WWGD said:
There's an article in the Annals of Improbable Research about a study to determine which butterfly flapping its wings causes it to rain in Paris. IIRC, they study butterflies in the botanic gardens in Paris for reasons of convenience, and discard data from days when it wasn't raining because clearly no butterfly is making it rain those days. A highly trustworthy study.fresh_42 said:
