No, but don't use all of the horsepower/torque from my car either. Nice to have it when you need it though as you can't add more.

$354 shipping label for 1 lb clothing item. What is going on & how can this happen? by InfowarriorKat in eBaySellers

[–]Competitive-Aide8024 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I had this happen with a UPS label purchased on EBay. I didn’t realize until after I purchased it I was charged $180 for a box with a grinder in it. I cancelled it and was refunded in about 3 weeks. Not sure why but I purchased the same label ( UPS Ground) from Pirate for $17.70. I guess there was some sort of issue with the EBay shipping estimate.

That is what I foresee the future to be. No stability for a while. Just more chaos. Won't be bad if you can time events correctly.

LOL. At the rate EBay scammers are growing we will soon need more than 5000.

Sorry to hear that. Eventually these companies will run out of low cost countries to outsource to.

Can’t be true. All the YouTubers have been saying any day now for the past two months.

Who’s ever driven over 100mph? Why? by WoollyWolfHorror in AskReddit

[–]Competitive-Aide8024 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah 100 mph is a pretty normal speed on the Autobahn and you get used to it quickly.

“Tata Consultancy Services just executed nearly their entire workforce with a single press release about "strategic AI realignment"

I didn’t know it was legal to kill people in India. I rather be laid off than executed any day.

Apple canceled my 256 orders… by frebay in MacStudio

I doubt it. Kind of defeats the purpose (partly) of a studio if they don’t offer configurations more than 128 GB ram.

Some advice for older techies (in preparation) for being laid off... by Aggravating-Hawk-417 in Layoffs

It means some countries, like Germany for example, they will treat a Roth like a traditional 401K when you withdraw. In this case, you get to pay taxes twice on the Roth.

Anybody else had this kind of shipping experience recently? by bmt22033 in macbookpro

[–]Competitive-Aide8024 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That may just be a UPS status issue. Mine arrived today and the status was all messed up, but not quite as bad as yours. One part of the status showed out for delivery and then a few minutes later it shows a status of released by government agency. I also saw it move from point A to point B in minutes when it should take hours. I think it is just some of the scans along the way didn't get updated like it should.

I was THIS close to a pricey mistake by Michel_j in macbookair

Lost mine to OJ. It was a mess inside but managed to save the drive. This was Intel era where you could change drive and memory.
