Darchangel posted:I haven't the foggiest of ideas why they let USPS anywhere near packages for Prime. Those fuckers couldn't deliver a speech. Truer words. loving pricks marked it as available for pickup at 535pm, a time when they are closed. Note: ever since I was home at 330 until I left around 6 I was constantly checking it and it didn't update until some time later. And yeah, when FedEx hands them a package you might as well wait. My wife ordered something and after it was a week after the delivery date, she contacted the seller (it wasn't Amazon) they overnighted her order via UPS and she had it the next day. About a week from that USPS delivered the other package. Rhyno posted:PM ME AND I WILL OPEN THE GATEWAY Message sent... just.... loving send it by carrier pigeon or some poo poo

Move to florida, then you just leave him chained to a tree in the swamp until the gators have had their fill. Also, second time soldering ever. Made a lineman splice, then dribbled solder all over it. My finger is burnt and it looks like shiny bird poo poo, but its loving attached. Tomorrow I get to see if it actually works!

 Caldillo came out pretty delish. Need to find a good tortillaria next time I make a batch though, these crappy store bought tortillas suck. slurry_curry posted:^^ the worst is when something gets shipped via FedEx, then they hand it off to USPS for delivery and it mysteriously disappears for a week. Amazon does a huge chunk of their delivery here via independent contractors in major metro areas. ... I always die a little inside when I look at tracking and see that it's being handled by an IC. About 50% of the time, that means it'll just get dumped in front of the office (along with everything else for my apartment complex and a neighboring one, plus anything going to the hotel next door) after hours. 25% of the time they'll actually knock on the door. 10% of the time they just drop kick it to my front door and leave it exposed (to weather and people driving by, at least TRY to get it under the overhang and maybe try to get it to my patio instead of just dropping it on my stairs) and not knock. 5% of the time it goes back as "customer unavailable" (bullshit, I was home all day motherfucker, nobody ever knocked, and the leasing office still accepts packages from Amazon... for now - a LOT of apartment offices refuse to take anything from Amazon now, because they know the ICs didn't even try going to the apartment). Worst part is, I'm an IC for Amazon, handling deliveries, so I get to see exactly how packages get treated and how little of a gently caress most of the ICs give. I don't trust most of the ICs I work with to get out of their car in a light rain without drowning. Rhyno posted:I had banked three free months of Prime and they still charged me my renewal on the original date. On my account, Prime is still showing as Prime Student, but shows the full $99/yr instead of the discounted student rate. I don't care that they want to charge me the full price now instead of half off, but I do care that they want to continue it as Student (which is 1 person only, instead of allowing it to be split up among 4 people like a regular Prime membership can) when they want to charge the full price, and still show it as a student account. Their cut and paste email replies when I ask about getting it switched never have anything whatsofuckingever to do with what I'm asking about (also as an IC, I get the same canned replies out of them when I contact them about deliveries, it's a loving shitshow). edit: just went to my account and saw an offer for 6 months of Prime for free. Tried to sign up, get an error for the billing method. Chatting with someone in CS about it, they claim I'm following an "illegal link" (gently caress you, it's the link from the "my account" dropdown). Why the gently caress are they trying to do anything more than a $1 preauth anyway? Sent them a screenshot, they now claim I'm following an "outdated link". Goddamnit Bezos. edit2 (not making this poo poo up, I have the chat log) Hariharan: Please hold for few minutes, there is an technical issue is going on. You are now reconnected with a new agent Prathamesh. Prathamesh: Hello, my name is Prathamesh. I'm sorry your previous chat disconnected. I will try and pick up where you left off. To be able to pull up your account may I know your name, e-mail address and the billing address. May I have the web link of the promotion?  Goober Peas posted:Or tell you flat out they don't guarantee anything. I started taking screenshots of the order page where they, in big bold green letters say they guarantee delivery on xxxx date. They outsource drat near everything. Customer service is about 75% outsourced to India, with most of the US based ones being work from home (so fun when you hear a smoke detector singing the song of the low battery while on a call), and I'm sure they're outsourced too. HR is even based in India.

My mate is meant to be buying a new daily driver to replace his written-off Audi, and the insurance hire car goes back tomorrow. Instead he's bought a £500 Porsche project car I linked him on Ebay, sight unseen, from the other end of the country. I'm so proud of him  .Might avoid his wife for the next couple of days.

Jesus tittyfucking Christ Amazon. Whack my debit card not once, but twice, for Prime membership fees, when your CSR tell me it'll be a $1 authorization hold (also I had tried to put it on a credit card). Adding insult to injury, my bank sent me a text about suspicious activity on my debit card... and cancelled it. Guess who has to pay rent by 5pm via check money order, and has most of his money tied up in an account with a non-local bank (and has no paper checks)?

I am filthy. I am riddled with lice. Hogs, when they look at me, vomit. My skin is encrusted with the scabs and scales of leprosy, and covered with yellowish pus. I know neither the water of rivers nor the dew of clouds. An enormous, mushroom with umbelliferous stalks is growing on my nape, as on a dunghill. Sitting on a shapeless piece of furniture, I have not moved my limbs now for four centuries. My feet have taken root in the ground; up to my belly, they form a sort of tenacious vegetation, full of filthy parasites; this vegetation no longer has anything in common with other plants, nor is it flesh. And yet my heart beats. How could it beat, if the rottenness and miasmata of my corpse (I dare not say body), did not nourish it abundantly? A family of toads has taken up residence in my left armpit and, when one of them moves, it tickles. Mind one of them does not escape and come and scratch the inside of your ear with its mouth; for it would then be able to enter your brain. In my right armpit there is a chameleon which is perpetually chasing them, to avoid starving to death: everyone must live. But when one party has completely foiled the cunning tricks of the other, they like nothing better than to leave one another in peace and suck the delicate fat which covers my sides: I am used to it. An evil snake has eaten my verge and taken its place; the filthy creature has made me a eunuch. Oh if only I could have defended myself with my paralysed hands; but I rather think they have changed into logs. However that may be, it is important to state that my red blood no longer flows there. Two little hedgehogs, which have stopped growing, threw the inside of my testicles to a dog, who did not turn up his nose at it: and they lodged inside the carefully washed epidermis. My anus has been penetrated by a crab; encouraged by my sluggishness, he guards the entrance with his pincers, and causes me a lot of pain! Two medusae crossed the seas, immediately enticed by a hope which was not disappointed. They looked attentively at the two fleshy parts which form the human backside, and, clinging on to their convex curve, they so crushed them by constant pressure that the two lumps of flesh have disappeared, while two monsters from the realm of viscosity remain, equal in colour, shape, and ferocity. Do not speak of my spinal column, as it is a sword…Yes, yes…I was not paying attention…your request is a fair one. You wished to know, did you not, how it came to be implanted vertically in my back. I cannot remember very clearly; however, if I decide to take for a memory what was perhaps only a dream, I can tell you that man, when he found out that I had vowed to live disease-ridden and motionless until I had conquered the Creator, crept up behind me on tiptoe, but not so quietly that I did not hear him. For a short moment, I felt nothing. This sword was buried up to the hilt between the shoulder-blades of the festive bull, and his bones shuddered like an earthquake. Athletes, mechanical experts, philosophers and doctors have tried, in turn, all kinds of methods. They did not know that the evil man does cannot be undone! I forgave them for the depth of their native ignorance, and acknowledged them with a slow movement of my eyelids. Traveller, when you pass near by me, do not address the least word of consolation to me, I implore you. You will weaken my courage. Leave me to kindle my tenacity at the flame of voluntary martyrdom. Go away…let me not inspire in you any act of piety. Hatred is stranger than you think; its action is inexplicable, like the broken appearance of a stick in water. Such as you see me, I can still make sorties as far as the walls of heaven at the head of a legion of murderers, and then come back and, resuming this posture, meditate again on noble projects of vengeance. Adieu, I shall delay you no longer; and, so that you may learn a lesson and keep out of harm’s way, reflect on the fatal destiny which led me to revolt, when I was perhaps born good!

funny Star Wars parody posted:why did they fire you if you dont mind? are they going through some kind of struggle or did you gently caress up? Restructuring, organizational changes, the usual. The entire Operations wing of the company has to improve by 700 million DKK/year over the next couple of years, so they are struggling. But it's just normal corporate bullshit, I don't think there's anything personal in it at all, I just got unlucky. Nowhere in the papers I have to sign, does it say I spent basically 80% of my time on SA, so that's good  Out of 179 people in IT Operations as of yesterday, 23 were fired. It was originally supposed to be 35(!), but due to various circumstances, layoffs were postponed and some people quit voluntarily in exchange for the same severance as if they had been fired. Apparently what's left of my department will be moved to various other places in the company, mostly in IT Development, to foster synergy and that general sort of bullshit.

If he was younger and didn't really understand what $100 was I'd say that was really harsh. Not judging, just curious. It's funny, I've been very lucky - the worst punishment I think I've handed out to my daughter, ever, is like a mad/disappointed facial expression and no dessert for one night. To be fair she's a laid back kid and not mischievous at all, which means the next few years (she's 14) are going to probably be hell.

I don't know, I think if you give kids responsibility for their own actions without the overwhelming helicopter parent style of rigid structures, they'll rebel less. Its easier gaining independence and responsibility when its slowly introduced versus dumped on you when you are 18. And its hard to rebel against something so flexible.
