dented or otherwise damaged cans, what do you do?
This article in yesterday's paper caught my eye. Looks like mould to me. But. Forget the sensational headline for a minute and focus on the can. Notice how it's a little blackened around the bottom rim? I'm not sure it shows, but it looks like the can has been standing in wet conditions, the wrapper looks a little wrinkled too at top and bottom. Was it like this when it was bought? If yes, why buy it? If no, then how was it stored in the home environment? Use by date. Usually irrelevant, unless the can has been opened. We all know that once a can is opened the contents need to be used immediately, especially baby foods. She mentions somewhere in the story that the contents appeared "a bit runny". This happens when food is given to the baby directly from the can, (or jar) with saliva from the baby's mouth being transferred to the contents, which then begins to break down the molecular structure of the canned food. This isn't immedia...
I saw that. And also that Uber knew about it long before they admitted it.
ReplyDeleteI've just found out that part. K tells me Uber paid the ransom for the details, but didn't warn the users they'd been hacked.
DeleteWhile I've had the app on my phone for a long time, I had never joined until we were about to travel late last month. Given our experience of Uber, the hacking and the cover up, I should unjoin Uber.
ReplyDeleteAndrew; that's probably a wise idea.
DeleteGood grief, that's not good at all.
ReplyDeleteMargaret-whiteangel; I heard later the details were being held to ransom, Uber paid up that ransom, but failed to warn users they had been hacked.
DeleteNO Uber for me, ever.
another reason to move to the country
ReplyDeleteAnn O'Dyne; no no, internet is iffy enough sometimes in the city, going to the country would be worse. Some areas don't even have mobile phone coverage.
DeleteNeed to be careful in everything. Need to think twice before we do...
ReplyDeleteWeekend-Windup; I'd heard bad press about Uber from the start and resolved to never use their service.
DeleteTheir failure to advise their customers is the truly horrific thing.....it kills all faith in the service.
ReplyDeleteonly slightly confused; yes, it does. And someday when they are broke and lonely they might figure out why.
DeleteI'm more irritated (no, enraged) that we've paid $17 Milllllion to pay off women who have been harassed by our congressmen. The swamp is sleazier than I ever thought.
ReplyDeleteAuthor R. Mac Wheeler; are you telling me not only do they have their hands in our pockets, but also in our pants?? Yikes!
DeleteMy grandchildren, nieces and nephews all use Uber and love it. I wonder what this will do to their ideas about it.
ReplyDeleteGranny Annie; perhaps you could inform them so at least they know. If they're paying with cash, they'd be okay, it's just those who use a credit card.
DeleteI had my first Taxi ride in 50's.
ReplyDeleteCoffee is on
peppylady (Dora); I don't remember when I first rode in a taxi, usually I walked places or caught a bus.
DeleteFortunately I don't know how to use Uber.
ReplyDeletejoeh; may you never learn.
DeleteMy son uses Uber frequently. Since I gave up my car, my husband drives me everywhere!!
ReplyDeletefishducky; lucky you. My husband was often too busy to drive me anywhere, even if he was going in the same direction and passing where I wanted to go. I caught a bus...
DeleteWe don't have Uber in the country which I now realize is a good thing.
ReplyDeleteArkansas Patti; and now you know to avoid them if they ever make it to your area.
DeleteJust got around to reading blogs and I have to tell you, you've been hacked again but it was caught in the email and deleted. They never give up do they?
ReplyDeleteSo scary ...
ReplyDeleteFortunately I don't use Uber.
All the best Jan
