Never been there, have been in Denver International Airport, that one is the 2nd biggest in the world 52 square miles.

Yeah, Denver you just have to take the trams. DWF, first time I was there I was on a plane with a video screen with movies and info, including where your next flights gate is. Mine was near to where I was landing, cool, so I'll just walk it amd won't bother with catching a ride like everyone told me to.
Well, that distance was far greater than it appeared on screen and even running down those floor escalator type thingies I made it to the gate just in time to board.

And?

 

[Wu Wei]

And?

Could be next year, but depending on the office environment, it will likely be 2026. But 2027 is not out of the question. But tentatively it will be mid 2026

Costco forced to recall 80,000 pounds of butter for the dumbest possible reason

Costco was forced to recall nearly 80,000 pounds of butter because the label failed to mention that the kitchen staple contains milk — and many social media users are rolling their eyes at the dairy dilemma.

It’s butter stupidity!

Costco was forced to recall nearly 80,000 pounds of butter because the label failed to mention that the kitchen staple contains milk — and many social media users are rolling their eyes at the dairy dilemma.

The FDA sent out an initial recall for 79,200 pounds of Kirkland Signature butter due to the undeclared allergen in October. Packages for both the salted and unsalted Kirkland Signature Sweet Cream Butter list cream as an ingredient, but do not include an allergy warning that the butter “Contains Milk.”

The bizarre recall has left many internet users scratching their heads. The most common comment: “It’s butter.”

I can't believe it's not butter.

“80,000 pounds of Costco butter was just recalled, because the label doesn’t say that it contains milk. It’s butter. News articles are telling people how they can return, or safely dispose of, the butter. It’s butter,” one person deadpanned.

One social media user joked, “Can y’all please safely dispose of it at my house? I have a lot of holiday baking to do.”

“Next they’ll recall beef that might contain cow,” another chimed in.

Another person quipped: “If you need to government to tell you that butter is a dairy product then…well, I can’t help you God I loathe the state.”

“To be called ‘Butter’ it must contain milk or milk derivatives. Talk about useless government,” another unamused X user piled on.

Well, they should have at least donated it to food banks or other charities.

Peeved social media users slammed the so-called problem and called out Costco for the waste.

“Rather than waste 80,000 pounds of butter why don’t they print stickers that say “Contains Milk” and save perfectly good food? So wasteful,” one person said.

The FDA did not say if there has been any illnesses or adverse reactions from the product.

Good grief.

I can't believe it's not butter.

Given what I've seen, and sad to say, quite a few people don't know butter is made from milk.

@Wu Wei, I'm unaware of any treaties between
mankind and Bearkind. Our community pool has rules, you know!
Your friends refuse to honor the swimming pool dress code.

So you still don't know

I do know, it is my choice at this point. The only thing that I need to find out now is health insurance coverage and the differences between 2026 and 2027

@Wu Wei , I remember nonsense like,
"Don't retire, you won't have anything to do, and you'll die".
The only problem with retirement is that time flies all too fast!

You can have my old truck, but I'm not sure its worth working on.

I love the old thing for sentimental reasons, but I know it needs waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay more work than we could ever do/afford to do.

 

[Wu Wei]

Folks....due to a disagreement with the powers that be.... that became the straw that broke the camels back..... I see no real reason to continue posting here on RF..... can't say I will never be back....but that is the plan...... but addictions are hard to beat...time will tell......
