Whoever hacker attacked LD should be hung ... big part of their business is medication. Hope people weren't up the creek for refills, meds, etc.
I'm told they shifted to writing down all inventory movement on paper while the system was down. My source being a pharmacist who still works casually for LD. It's going to be an absolute shit show once operations are back to normal because they will have to play catch up with all this extra paperwork. I hope the public can be understanding of the circumstances. Retail pharmacy is already a grueling hell hole, this certainly didn't help. I'm sure the staff are all working extra hard to try and serve their customers, they would greatly appreciate everyone's patience.
I developed a taste for them when I lived in Oz...they'd all call out your cunty ass if you called them British. There is actually a similar British cookie called Penguin but I think they are inferior. https://www.smh.com.au/goodfood/eati...22-h1owzt.html
Tim Tams are also like $2 a package there and have a multitude of flavours we don't get here like White Chocolate and Double Dipped. I can't take it upon myself to pay $5+ here for a plain old original
Tim Tams are great, try the Tim Tam Slam next time you get some: Bite a corner off each end, then use it as a straw to drink ice coffee from. The coffee will come up and get absorbed by the cookie, then you slam it down. The ultimate Aussie culinary experience
They were doing samples of Tim Tam earlier at Still Creek Costco. Maybe I should've tried it.
I stay clear of all samples at costco, people are vultures around those stations. Blocking aisles, no awareness. I wish they would get rid of the samples all together. But, It seems samples work so it serves its purpose.

FAA: Boeing apparently didn't confirm bonding "where the wings join the fuselage."
Quote:
The Federal Aviation Administration is investigating whether Boeing failed to complete required inspections on 787 Dreamliner planes and whether Boeing employees falsified aircraft records, the agency said this week. The investigation was launched after an employee reported the problem to Boeing management, and Boeing informed the FAA.
"The FAA has opened an investigation into Boeing after the company voluntarily informed us in April that it may not have completed required inspections to confirm adequate bonding and grounding where the wings join the fuselage on certain 787 Dreamliner airplanes," the FAA said in a statement provided to Ars today.

The older I get, the more I realize that people don't give AF about their jobs. It's scary, especially in these highly sensitive industries where life and death are a thing. These are just regular people with very low motivation or integrity in very important positions.
Nevermind the wings on the 787 are carbon fibre... that alone scares me quite a bit, I know it's widely used on things nowadays but not over and over and over in tensile strength type of conditions.
I certainly hope it's better shit than hockey sticks are made out of lolol

This Boeing BS is way more than just individuals not giving a shit, it’s a culture of failure.
There’s plenty of documentaries on them shifting HQ to Chicago, and the Dreamliner really being the catalyst for outsourcing components of their planes and then doing final assembly in Seattle, as opposed to building everything in house.
The Dreamliner has one of the best safety records of any plan in existence I believe, so I wouldn’t be too concerned, but as the culture of safety slips, who knows with newer models.
I just dumped all my Boeing stock the other day at a 60% loss (probably serves me right for buying the dip after the 2 Max 8’s crashed) however, I wasn’t exactly sold on the Max’s either when on a recent trip to Vegas the entire cabin power shut off while still taxing to the gate (on top of being delayed an hour in Vegas for computer problems ‘the computer not accepting data’)
