Na. If it’s British police it’s just an excuse. All they’re there for after all these years of Tory cuts is to give you a reference number so you can make an insurance claim.

Yep. My work is rolling them out later in the year. The ones we are getting are basic colour eink, I think they can do a little red to highlight special offers. Batteries are supposed to last several years.

It’s more. Each a4 sheet has considerably more than 1 label on it. Most weeks there’s 90-100 pages of weekly limited offer specials alone. Then every day there’s large amounts of regular stock coming onto and off of special offer. Then produce is constantly being adjusted based on seasonality, the current weather (better prices on salad when it’s hot etc), and to help sell through (warehouse has accepted some stock with reduced shelf life etc).

Then there’s the fact the country I’m from has been experiencing food price inflation at almost 20% this year.

Programming aside electric self edge labels are the future. Where I work we do paper labels for about 50 pretty small stores and use best part of 30,000 sheets of paper a week.

No, sorry. While that sounds lovely it breaks two major things.

1. Entropy (second law of thermodynamics)

2. The expansion of the universe doesn’t seem to be slowing. This doesn’t just mean stars and galaxies getting further from each other but the space between subatomic particles are getting further from each other.

Given intimate time the universe will just be a random collection of particles drifting further and further apart.
