$12 for 336g of peanut butter is robbery. Alaska prices or something? $36.45 per kg unit price!

You can pick up a 40 of Jif at Target for $6 and that’s 1134g. Almost 7x the value, and it’s the good shit.

ggppjj ,

Assuming this was taken in America, no way those are grams.

Edit: I zoomed in and maybe it is? Does look like kgs.

Weird all around.

deranger ,

Says price per kg, net weight kgs on the label 🤷‍♂️

If it’s pounds it’s even worse. 2.2x worse, in fact.

ggppjj ,

Wild.

Packaged like that it’s probably ground in-store

deranger ,

Grind deez nuts. I can’t find a reference for price ground in-store but that still seems astronomical.

ggppjj ,

Hmmm, it being wrapped in a flat usually indicates being repackaged from larger foodservice sized containers, which my own experience with West Virginia food desert grocery stores has led me to understand is common in some areas.

I’d expect fresh ground to be oily-er too, enough that stocking it upright like that wouldn’t be a great idea.

frickineh ,

If it’s in the Caribbean like another commenter mentioned, it may not be USD. XCD to USD is $2.70 to $1.

tomkatt ,

Yeah, but JIF is like… sugar and palm kernel oil garbage. It’s a peanut butter product, not peanut butter.

Peanut butter should have one or two ingredients, max. Peanuts, and maybe salt.

thesystemisdown ,

The oil in Jif is rapeseed (canola) and/or soybean, not palm. Not disagreeing with your sentiment in general, but for the sake of clarity…

Zier ,
@Zier@fedia.io avatar

Correct, and the 'no stir' version is always palm oil.

thesystemisdown ,

It’s hard to escape palm oil. It’s a shame. It could be an environmentally friendly option if greedy people were just a little less greedy.

Zier ,
@Zier@fedia.io avatar

The sad part about palm oil (other than environmental) is, it blocks the taste of most foods. It's too heavy. Things just taste greasy and almost flavorless.

This was my biggest complaint about an abroad stint in the Netherlands — all the peanut butter* was JIF style/huge ingredient list. Agree completely — only acceptable ingredients are peanuts and salt.

The beer wasn’t all my style, but I could certainly appreciate it.

*“pindakaas” literally “peanut cheese,” I think because “butter” is reserved for dairy products.

stiephelando ,

Then you didn’t look hard enough. In the Netherlands there are plenty of high quality pb brands.

qjkxbmwvz ,

I’m sure there are, but they were not available at Jumbo (or any of the other stores I went to). In the US, I generally find them at any store I go to (a long with JIF, etc. of course) — I never have to “look hard enough” to find it.

This was a decade ago, so perhaps things changed.

stiephelando ,

I haven’t been to the Netherlands in a while either, but at Albert Heijn they had PB made from peanuts only, and I remember there being several brands that were like this. Miles better than in other parts of Europe.

JudahBenHur ,

you had a problem with carlsberg?

deranger ,

2% or less of added oils. I get natty PB as well but it’s not quite as good as a bad food. I’m 6’3” and 195 at near 40 years old, my diet is fine. Jif is probably the “worst” thing I enjoy regularly. I still maintain it’s the best PB of the commercially produced varieties.

fluxion ,

This is top quality, grass-fed Mr. Peanut, butchered just today. Quality comes with a price

Maeve ,

The package isn't resealable, either. That's just shady, pricing it so high, and making the consumer pay more for resealable packaging is just next-level greed.

Fuck yeah I’m gonna install Arch Linux^btw on my microchip

TrickDacy , to linuxmemes in What's going on y'all?

I’ve found it funny how many people think they need to defend windows by saying " this could’ve happened to Linux too!!"

Okay, sure. Yeah you’re right about Linux being just as insecure as windows too 😉

PainInTheAES ,

Something similar did happen on Linux clients with CrowdStrike installed not too long ago lol

MartianFox ,

Sounds a bit like its a bad idea to install CrowdStrike regardless of the system 🙃

jaybone ,

lol yeah that’s a glowing review.

“Oh, we can fuck other shit up too!”

TrickDacy ,

Anything to defend windows

madcaesar ,

Noone needs to defend Windows. We need to defend the truth. And the truth is that this was not a Windows issue. It’s a Crowdstrike issue.

TrickDacy ,

Windows being an insecure shit show is no one else’s fault though. Not sure why that draws an argument. It’s well known

madcaesar ,

True. But nothing to do with this incident. That’s the point.

TrickDacy ,

Everything to do with it. You don’t buy expensive software to protect your shitty OS unless it’s a shitty OS

madcaesar ,

Linux had a similar outage a few weeks ago, my man.

TrickDacy ,

And yet I heard zero peeps about it. Probably because 99% of IT departments know windows is vulnerable as fuck while 99% know that Linux doesn’t need babysitting.

“It’s technically possible for other OSes to be affected by a thing like this” is a shit argument and you should get the MS dick out of your mouth.

sntx ,

If you’re lucky, you only gave to have the software installed - but not running.

TrickDacy ,

To those many Linux users who took a look at their circumstances and said “I definitely need antivirus software!”

PainInTheAES ,

CrowdStrike does more than anti-virus and yes enterprise Linux installations need a lot of security controls that average Linux users don’t need.

TrickDacy ,

Ok fine simps, Linux is exactly as shitty as windows this was totally only a coincidence

PainInTheAES ,

Bruh, I’ve used Linux for over 10 years. I run Arch on my laptop and have a homelab powered by Proxmox, Debian, and OPNSense. I don’t run any AV in my lab but do follow other security practices.

At work it’s a different story. Products like CrowdStrike also collect logs, scan for vulnerabilities, provide graphing and dashboarding capabilities, provide integrations into ticketing platforms for investigation and remediation by security teams, and more. AV is often required because Windows users can upload infected files to Linux-run SMB shares. Products like CrowdStrike often satisfy requirements set by cybersecurity insurance.

This is not simping, this is not Linux vs Windows. You just clearly have no experience in the enterprise Linux space and business security requirements.

TrickDacy , (edited )

I don’t need to argue about windows vs Linux. You’re overcomplicating and misinterpreting my point and it’s no longer worth it to me because you clearly are prioritizing defense

Edit: let’s see if we can get to 100 downvotes here. I mean this shit is just so offensive right?

proton_lynx ,

I think people are missing the point here. The biggest problem was not that the update was bricking the machines, that could’ve happened to Linux/macOS/BSD etc. The problem is that the solution to the problem is to MANUALLY access the machine, get into safe mode and type some commands. This is insane. And you should be able to EASILY disable automatic updates for apps like that on Windows Server.

Buddahriffic ,

I dunno, I’d say them deploying an update that bricked machines at the scale they did shows they didn’t test it very well at smaller scales. They could have even still used their users as beta testers, just needed to do a subset of them first.

kelargo ,

Crowdstrike exists for Linux. Are their reports their update affected Linux servers? I have not read that anywhere.

Psythik ,

Yeah but 14th Gen Intel CPUs are still failing regardless of your OS.

Psythik ,

Nobody but the most hardcore AMD enthusiasts used Bulldozer. The 2010s was a tough decade for AMD, to say the least. It wasn’t until AM5 came out that I finally switched back to Team Red. Got too used to LGA sockets.

twei ,

I still don’t know why they thought sticking with PGA was a good idea… The amount of processors that were ripped out of their sockets is insane

TrickDacy ,

not familiar. Their processors tend to last me ~5 years so it’s not like I bought every model available

For confused folks, no this is not how Canadians package their peanut butter, although yes the milk bags are real, IIRC this is actually a thing that happens in the Carribbean for locally packaged peanut butter because it’s cheaper than the jars are in the US and Canada.

RedditWanderer ,

I was thinking this is either some shitty store unpackaging and repackaging peanut butter, or it’s made locally.

In this timeline you just never know.

I have seen it sold like this in a Krogars in Tennessee.

Oh, this is handy, I specifically avoid these guys.

Not for ethical reasons or anything, just I had these weird frozen meatballs from them when I was like 7 and nearly vomited myself to death in a holiday caravan’s bedroom before collapsing unable to move for an hour, conscious the entire time and simply unable to make my body respond. 1/10, not reccommended.

BilboTBaggin ,

Wait, they make meatballs? I thought it was just ice cream

mumblerfish ,

I guess they mean unilever? That is the company that owns that brand at least, iirc.

PoopBuffet ,

Just looked it up because I too was unsure of this. There is a Wall’s meats, but they are no longer related. Unilever owns Wall’s ice cream but they sold off Wall’s meats in 1994. The logos are different and the meats one only operates in the UK. So this map is useless for avoiding dodgy meatballs.

BilboTBaggin ,
