Roadkill cake?
I2 today is not i2 of yesteryear. It is a knitting circle. Those that participate be they nice or asshats know their place and the price to be there. Odeon is the overlord

.Benevolent if you toe the line.

Think it is I2 of old? Even Odeon is not so delusional as to think otherwise. He may on occasionally pretend otherwise but his base is that knitting circle.

Censoring/banning/restricting/moderating myself, Calanadale & Scrapheap were all not his finest moments.

At the supermarket at lunchtime I noted that they had emu jerky and crocodile jerky.

$7.50 per 50g though. That’s like $150 a kilo. Or nearly $70 a pound. I can’t imagine it’s good enough to justify those prices.

Alligator sausage is good.  It runs around $9 a pound.

Don't mind alligator, but haven't ever had a sausage I liked; some funky undertone about it. The last time we had some, cut a small piece to try it. Didn't like it so gave it to the dog. Dog dropped in on the ground and then pissed on it. :laugh:

I like that Jack Link's beef jerky. Pretty expensive though.

Speaking of new addictions, however, I've switched to vaping for nicotine (over smoking cigarettes), and have developed it into a sort of obsession where I'm buying new vaporizers, and have an assortment of different flavored fluids - most of which have 3mgs of nicotine.

I've just moved on to Rebuildable Dripping Atomizers (RDA type vapes), since my SMOK Majesty vaporizer was stolen from me during a night out last Saturday. Same guy who sold me some coke too; let him use it, and he ran off with it when he was a way away from me; couldn't find the dude anywhere, but I managed to replace my vape with a couple of different ones: SMOK Stick X8; and, Wismec Luxotic BF (my first RDA type vape).

I've committed myself to purchasing the Sigelei Top 1 RDA kit - although the deck looks a bit dicey for installing coils, I can eventually switch back to an RTA tank on it... if it doesn't work for me over time.

A friend of mine bought a vaporizer to replace smoking. Are they expensive? What kind of flavours can you get?

You're best off getting a mid-range vaporizer, as the cheap ones generally leak, and need to be kept in a standing position, although they can still leak. The SMOK X8 Stick vape will set you back around AU$70-

Once you're equipped with a vaporizer, and fluid however, vaping won't cost much at all.

Funnily enough, this isn't far from the truth - for many vapers.

Thanks for the info.

Another question, what kinds of flavours are there?

I don't vape myself, but there are specialist shops with a big range. Fruit, bubblegum, all sorts

Where I used to work, some of the guys would come back into the warehouse and do their vape thing. I kept telling them that it was not cool - I did not care, but they could lose their job if caught by a boss - and that even an hour or so after they puffed a bit it could still be "olfactorily" evident and cameras would reveal the offender.

They thought the warehouse was a "safeplace" to ignore company policy, but nope. There are four  cameras recording everything that occurs within those closed doors. I told them all and still they did it until one day during an early Saturday meeting, one of the guys turned around with his rig in his mouth and came face to face with TeH Big Boss.
He did not get fired, but they now make announcements at every daily meeting that such is not tolerated. However, notice that it was tolerated at least once.

The end result of life's daily pain and suffering, trials and failures, tears and laughter, readings and listenings is an accumulation of wisdom in its purest form.
