My hate is having to spend £6 extra on a 90ml of strawberry jam vta because i could only get in 10ml. Whats worse it will be the last i ever get as i cant find it anywhere under the new branding so will have to find an alternative
I have to agree with that @GodzNCloudz. I’ve been forced to order more than my fair share of 10ml bottles. 
This is what I HATE in 2026!
So they’re taxing something that’s already taxed! Sound like California to me…
So I’m thinking the cost of pretty much every food that doesn’t come from a living animal or plant will will be going up too. If I read that right, VG, PG and flavors will be taxed. (Oh, that’s right, it’s a “Duty”) I’m having a hard time thinking of many foods that don’t have VG/PG and flavor concentrates in them.
Just to prove the product is legal? Is that really a problem yonder? Illegal activity regarding vaping here is in the form of a black market giving away disposables at concerts and celebrities doing fund raising…etc. Big chain smoke shops, I reckon.
Here our Governor just lies about what the taxes will be used for. Internet, cable TV, cell phone data are all already taxed by the feds. The state’s sales tax is 8.75%! Cigarettes and petrol cost more than twice the national average due to the taxes.
The state claims the taxes are to be used for our schools and maintenance of infrastructure.
What’s it really used for?
First proposed in 1979 at a cost of 1.1 billion. Almost 50 years later it’s no where near complete and the 1st phase is not expected to be finished until 2050 and is now expected to cost over 125 billion!
Then there’s a phase 2. MUCH more ambitious.
Phase 1 is to connect San Fransisco to Los Angeles, an 8 hour drive by car. These are the 2 largest Cities in the state with LA being the 2nd largest in the US. They are also the most expensive to live with the highest paying jobs in the state thanks to silicon valley (San Fransisco) and Hollywood/LA’s entertainment industry.
So this train is going to shorten the time between cities to 2 hours and 40 minutes from 8. So F’n what?!!! You’re going to work in Silicon valley and live in LA? Or visa versa? No, I either know how to program, or I am an actor.
Sorry for the rant, but come on. The 2 biggest cities voting liberal with most of the rest of the state conservative. We end up with a bunch of liberals in congress and the Governors mansion.
1.6 Trillion in debt. A lot of state police drive Tesla’s claiming it’s responsible because they pollute less. With responsibility comes balancing a budget in my opinion. Balance the budget first.
Get this!
Separately, one deferred retirement plan in Los Angeles allowed cops to gain seven-figure payouts while claiming disability and not working. And, a new program in San Diego County permits sheriff’s deputies to draw pensions while continuing to work in law enforcement — a practice that taxpayer advocates deride as “double dipping”.
Right here in my own huge city of 20,000 residents, our police chief retired, then came straight back to his job while continuing to collect his pension. Our city manager was given a choice. Fire the man or lose the next election. He lost anyway.
Thanks to our new city manager, we now have a “new” (2 year old) park the includes tennis courts, a baseball and football fields, basket ball courts… Yes, plural. We asked the state to match the funds to build it. SIX million is our half.
It’s used by the folks living in the condominiums across the street. For the parking lot. NO ONE uses the park. We drive past it every weekend. It’s spring here. 80 degrees F. (2.6 C.)
There are already 14 parks in our sub-division of 1,900 homes. This new park is less than 2 miles from another park. (3.2 km)
Lastly, 10 million people have left this state in the last 2 years. It simply costs too much to live here. We’re moving in the fall to retire and be closer to our family. With what we’ll sell this house for, we can afford a house in the mid-west for LESS than 50% of the cost.
Damn I hate typing!
Well, I guess that’s what I hate in 2026.
Actually had a day off, and was going to get a few things done. Mix up orders in the queue ?? Already done. Tweak the code on the eCalc site ?? Nah, need a break. Swim ?? Cloudy, rainy, bleh. Been a rainy/damp summer, so the mower deck has been getting packed with grasscrete more than normal. Decided I’d simply jack up the deck, scrape it, check the blades, and be done. Well, hehe, my 25 year old (YES, a quarter of a century people) Craftsman 2 ton gave out. Bad ass jack that lifted a lot MORE than 2 ton in it’s lifetime. Raced out to the local Harbor Freight, and picked up a new Daytona 3 ton, and 2 3 ton jack stands.
Jacked up the John Deere far easier, quicker, and SAFER than the old equipment.
Luckily for me, the wife saw me struggling and made some delicious fish and shrimp tacos !!!
where the hell is medicine flower lemon gone??
@lukeloop it’s specifically in the Silver Line.
https://www.amazon.com/Medicine-Flower-Flavor-Extract-Natural/dp/B085W6XJYQ
Which site @lukeloop. Medicine Flower shows international shipping, and I assume Raw Living does as well.
I can’t find lemon on medicine flower website and nothing in their silverline section. The other website wants $AUD92 in postage for 2 bottles.
I am glad that I came across this thread as you have prompted me to go to Raw Living and buy a bottle of the MF Lemon, only one small one as I’m not greedy and want to make sure that there is some left for others. I have been on the fence about buying some for quite some time but I have seen so many great recipes using it and I got tired of asking for subs. Thanks gentlemen for the heads up, I hope this flavour becomes available again in greater quantities soon as it would be a great shame if it becomes discontinued.
