I bought these for no real reason:

I have a dodgy battery that needs testing.

I had heartburn at the time.
e: no I still have it bad.

I'd love to know what the Amazon guy packing boxes thinks about people.

My iPod was starting to fall apart and as I need music on my train travels, picked up one of these second hand:

$200! $200? Really?

I mean good for you for getting it cheap but I cant believe there's a market for this. Do people really prefer it to, say, a sandisk sansa and $150 of music?

Crazy!

I bought a 65" 4K TV

It's a model from late last year without HDMI 2.0 / 4k Netflix, i dont care about either. I got it for about half off the original price.

Wishing you and your wall many happy years together.

Depending on where you bought the first one and how long ago you can probably get them to refund the difference. Call the store and ask.

As for the not understanding the Black Friday part what don't you understand? It is not a Thanksgiving thing. It is actually when the stores supposedly go from being "in the red" or not making a profit to being "in the black" where everything makes a profit because their costs are covered for the year.

Oh I had no idea, thanks for clearing that up.

It's Amazon, so what do you think my chances are?

Compact, as I don't see the need for anything much bigger than 4.5 inches. Hell I'd rather have 3.5" phones like they used to make if I could (RIP Orange San Francisco).

It's these http://flyduino.net/KISS-ESC-2-4S-18A-v11_1

They're game changers in the world of electronic speed controllers, in my opinion.

We are sure you wont find another similar sized ESC which stays as cool and react as fast as this ESC at the same Ampere draw. Due to this special integration of hard and software some features are realized which allow the ESC to peform at a real high end level, no one reacts or brakes faster on a 14 Pole Motor (quite common) RPM up to 42.000 are supported, which is simply amazing. Given this high Pole count Motors arent a problem too for this ESC too.

Oneshot125 is an alternative PWM throttle Signal that is 8 times shorter/faster then the Standard 400-490Hz signals are. It is meant to be sent instantly after each FC controll loop to have the fastest possible ESC Response.

My first non-used vehicle. A 2015 Colorado LT.

Well, I ordered it. The supply to demand ratio is staggering, and dealerships only either have extended cab LTs with no options or loaded out Z71s out of my price range, and they're lucky to get any at all.

Now for some first world bitching (unchecked privilege trigger warning): My 2005 Accord I'm trading in is, apparently, highly desirable. I've had people wanting to buy it since I got it. I went ahead and gave it to the dealership to sell while there's still some tax money floating around and so I'd have that money ready to go when my truck came in. The GM (my father ) assured me it wouldn't be long before my truck came in, and they'd give me a loaner vehicle to drive in until then, only a week or so.

The loaner vehicle is the grossest Altima in the world. It was just traded in and they hadn't even cleaned it or serviced it in, just gave me the keys. The woman who owned it beforehand apparently lived in a great big dirt pile and just poured perfume all over it all the time forever. This was probably to cover up the smell of some long-dead animal. I can't get the smell out. Also the radio doesn't work. But it's only for a week or so, right?

I checked with the salesman handling my order, and they haven't even started building the damned thing yet. It's still in pre-production, so I've got AT LEAST a month in this shitmobile.

Wah wah, I know.
