oh also its basically become aliexpress/ebay with all of the knockoff garbage shipped from china 21-30 day deliver

this reminds me that I received something the other day that I had completely forgotten about since it took so long; also it was an accessory (that was auto suggested) for something else that I had ordered along with it that arrived in 2 days

It's really a trip, I had been reading a book on the origins of California techno-Utopianism

Wait what book is this? I love California computer hippies and how SV nerds adore them without realizing that most of them are just like all the other wacky hippies only they just happened to like electronics
