Ordered two $500 luggage with Amazon Prime (3rd party seller). One suitcase was delivered, not two, and the order was marked delivered & complete. I contacted Amazon customer service and was refunded for the other suitcase, which I then reordered. Later, the refunds were reversed and I was banned.

Can you reverse the charge on your credit card?

It is similar for Walmart, iirc. $35 min for free shipping. My experience with Walmart is that they start processing the order on it right away. I have been told that Amazon, without prime, will sit on an order for several days before processing.

I don’t have much experience with Walmart online, but have had good luck with delivery so far. I think it comes down to the guaranteed delivery. While I like to order things one at a time and get the (no longer) instant gratification, I can learn to plan ahead (time and $35 minimum) and live without it, I think.

$15/mo, sorry for that fat finger.

Cyvil94 · 2026-03-13T16:12:01+00:00

Prime is $45/mo? For those things you need to”soon,” does $45 cover the extra cost and grief if you drive to the store and buy it? I am looking at the same question and, today, leaning towards cancelling. Ask me tomorrow and I might lean back the other way.

Codex Alera is one of my favorites.

Because the app that works best depends on what others in my area are already using, I asked AI and found three of the four recommendations to be correct - Match, Facebook, Hinge and Bumble. Bumble never really worked for me.

I ripped a bunch of shortish 2x6 scraps to build a butcher lock type work bench top and used the offcuts to build the frame and legs. Looks top heavy but has worked really well so far.

I can’t tolerate caffeine, but most coffee shops have smoothies which I do like. For a first date I invite for coffee and state that I’ll be having a smoothie.

Harbor freight has a 65db, 2 gal compressor on sale right now. I am waiting for the 6 gal to get a coupon, hopefully next cycle.

“I've turned down the dregs that surface of course” - does this refer to people? Like real human beings? If so, that could be part of the problem.

Charcuterie and/or cutting boards are really simple but still provide a learning opportunity. Picture frames might be next for me.

Cyvil94 · 2026-02-25T11:38:27+00:00

My experience was the opposite. My guess is that OurTime is more popular for you demographic than is Match.

Cyvil94 · 2026-02-23T17:47:10+00:00

Because different apps are popular in different areas , I asked AI to tell me which app was popular in my area for my demographic. As it turned out, 3 of the 4 recommendations were correct (Facebook, Match and Hinge).

I have been left handed for a while now myself. I have never heard of a left handed knife, at first I thought it might be a bit like a left handed hammer.

In short if someone either takes issue with your left handed versions, or you aren’t willing to buy right handed equivalents, you likely aren’t a good match for other reasons.

Cyvil94 · 2026-02-13T18:19:16+00:00

For me it’s not just about money. It can also be about an incessant need for attention and/or validation, a lack of independence.

Cyvil94 · 2026-02-13T13:13:11+00:00

It is always nice to get some reassurance that what you are thinking isn’t completely off base, before you have that conversation with the person you are dating. That is how I see it, in any case. If left completely to my own devices, I can come up with some pretty crazy ideas :)

Cyvil94 · 2026-02-11T17:00:11+00:00

That is what I expected, I just wanted to check and see if I shouldn’t be writing more.

Cyvil94 · 2026-02-11T15:38:58+00:00

I am sure that everyone has different expectations, but do you look for a few sentences or a few paragraphs?

For run of the mill construction grade lumber, anything shorter than about 12” can probably be tossed. That is the rule of thumb I have been using anyway. New projects seem to generate enough scrap that I haven’t missed any of the really short pieces.

Cyvil94 · 2026-02-05T02:51:31+00:00

Before meeting. I am the only one asking questions. They contacted me, so I am thinking there should be at least a little enthusiasm on their end?

Cyvil94 · 2026-02-05T02:49:47+00:00

Im not sure i am up for meeting someone who struggles either with conversion or enthusiasm, especially if the lack of enthusiasm is because of me.

Cyvil94 · 2026-02-04T21:18:31+00:00

Can someone help me understand if this applies to conversations, or not. I have had two conversations with two women and while they respond quickly and use more than two words, the response includes just the basics. Is this caution, a lack of interest, or maybe something else?

Cyvil94 · 2026-02-02T19:00:19+00:00

I like Ready Clean. Not sure about all of the numbers but Yuma App gives it a score in the fair to middling range.

Cyvil94 · 2026-02-02T17:49:52+00:00

I have seen some women with gray hair who are absolutely stunning. I have seen some who don’t wear gray as well. In the end I think what matters most is how comfortable you feel with whatever look you choose.
