" It ran to nearly twelve pages (printed from the browser) and half of that was command-line gibberish that made no sense to me (so yay for the chance to mistype something)."
I assume you're like my wife, who drives a car and also uses Linux. She hasn't got a clue to using the command line nor anything past putting petrol in.
She wouldn't have a clue about using the command line in Windows either, but she could go to a document and cut and paste from a web page.
A quid a day is half of what some UK hospital catering departments get for providing 3 meals a day for patients, so good going.
I would assume that, as they're trying to feed significantly more than one they'd get the advantages of bulk-buying. I'd also assume that that sort of budget wouldn't do a lot if you needed to regenerate new tissue.

Deadly Weapons (1984)
After the mob hits a guy with a list, one of the hoods keeps the list for himself to blackmail the people on it. When the mobsters find out he's a double-crosser, they off him, which angers his busty girlfriend. She goes after them using the only two weapons she has.

Mitt Romney in October, 2011on the subject of anthropogenic global warming…
"My view is that we don't know what's causing climate change on this planet. And the idea of spending trillions and trillions of dollars to try to reduce CO2 emissions is not the right course for us."
"Historically, Internet Explorer was the dominant browser used across the globe."

The Nooks can read just about every eReader format, including (the International Standard) ePub.

"Almost 800 of these comments were filed against applications for .sex, .porn and .adult by .xxx manager ICM Registry, following a campaign by US-based religious campaign group Morality In Media."
Isn't the world a perfect place; or it will be as soon as the USA adopt stonings.
