Yes, iirc, though I’m not certain the other one we’re thinking of was SA. Operation Soda Steal is similar and where there were diagrams, but there was a camelbak soda that was less successful too.

just to flag that the US goonfund is currently running low, and as a sign of their desperation, are currently soliciting donations in GBS. if you are US-based and can spare a couple bucks, please consider chipping in

if you are not US based, i guess consider playing Dyson Sphere Program on gamepass, as it's pretty good

Can I donate if I'm not in the US? Obviously I won't get anything back ftom it but nothing is stopping me, right?

Can I donate or request money if I'm not in the USA?

Sadly, no. Tax codes around international money transfers are... complicated, to put it mildly. To make it easier on this small organization, we can't accept donations from people outside of America, or give money through the fund to people outside of America. If you are in the UK, there is a UK goonfund you can request funds from here

Aww that sucks. Thanks, though.

Nah he gave a bunch of info to Jeff (evidence of refunds, etc.) that was enough for him to get his 10k probe lifted.

He refunded and shut his down and gave some info to jeff, and all that was considered good enough.

I'm so sick of these assholes threadshitting a loving charitable operation. I've been on the fence for awhile, but enough spite has built up to push me over the edge and make a donation to the goon fund.

Does the new fund receive significantly less in donations than the plinkey one? Is it more solicited?

I have a gin that was the result of a drunken work-mandated teamwork exercise. It's full of cinnamon, hazelnut, and a bunch of cakey infusions that probably do not go with juniper berries whatsoever. What should I mix it with? I feel like tonic is a bad choice.

Literally a defense offered as to why some people trusted plinkey not to steal was because he had a gambling 'system' and supposedly never lost money.

You know, from the same guy who bragged he hadn't set foot in a casino for 2 years but was revealed to have switch to online gambling.

The major reason the new fund is struggling with money is because way more people need help and are aware of it than before, it seems like. It's taking in a pretty solid amount each month and it's very new.
