Nobody exists on purpose, nobody belongs anywhere, we’re all going to die. Come watch TV.

I’m pretty sure all insect fragments, rodent droppings, and the like all vanish as soon as they cross the EU border in accordance with food safety regulations. /s

I did start reading into said EU regulations a bit, but I won’t ruin your day.

I was mostly musing on the schadenfreude of sovcits unleashed upon debt collectors. Your advice (or probably anything other than pretending to be a sovcit) is almost certainly better for someone actually going through debt collections.

I assume hard cases here refer to people who aren’t responsive or put ups fight?

I’d imagine a motivated sovcit could be way more of a pain because they cause active headaches with frivolous filings and wasting time vs just not paying. Though maybe I’m giving them too much credit or debt collectors too little credit.

You’re not going to be encouraged by everything else they allow.

Though I think (anyone feel free to jump in if I’ve got it wrong) that the coffee limits are not 10% non-coffee matter by weight but rather 10% of beans demonstrating insect damage/infestation/mold. This is not exactly reassuring, but it’s almost certainly far less insects than 10% of your coffee bag’s weight being ground up buggies. You can read about the FDA’s coffee analysis process which is interesting, if somewhat opaque.

Might be a solid strategy to combat debt collection agencies. They buy overdue debt at steep discounts and then harass people and collect on some portion, enough to make a profit overall. Dealing with sovcits probably has negative expected value vs whatever debt they are trying to collect.

Can you imagine sovcits unintentionally doing societal good by sovciting debt collection agencies? The mind boggles.

I’ll have you know roachfee is a sustainable alternative to pure coffee. /s

More seriously it looks like this is primarily based on anecdotes and was directed at ground coffee vs whole beans.

Poe’s law has only gotten more true over the last couple of decades.

I don’t know, it looks pretty sturdy to me.

I’m getting Mona Lisa vibes.
