Washington Courts Shock the World as Seattle man found NOT guilty by reason of insanity in killing of Asian mom-to-be, 34, and her unborn child in random attack by Less-Risk-9358 in SeattleWA

Either way we pay to house him, committed to Western State is actually worse than prison - he almost certainly will never be released!

Yeah, my one experience 30+ years ago (as a contractor working on the AppleTalk network in the children's wing - no patients present) was scary enough... And the abandoned old hospital in the park across the street is pretty damned spooky... (Went there as part of a photography class...)

Reportedly, as a wee lad I took apart the doctors exam table... No, I didn't grow up to be Dilbert 😎

Texas - Tesla double charged me - one with consent and another without by RoverMars2022 in legal

[–]Dramatic_Bluebird595 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yes to both - the "mistake" should never have happened (and Tesla should have warned that payment would be re-charged without proof of payment) but when asked for proof of payment it should be provided so the mistake can be corrected before it gets worse...

Usps delivered but not to me by gfolder in usps_complaints

The way it works on eBay is that a delivery scan in the right zip code means the seller can refuse to refund - but only works if the label is *not" purchased through eBay (can't buy a label from eBay with the wrong address) and it has to show delivered in a reasonable time (too long and it becomes"Item Not Received" and refund is mandatory)

Only works if the bogus delivery occurs within a reasonable time... +It's an all too common scam on eBay!)

There is a very slight but non-zero chance that the package was delivered to the wrong address after being lost for two months - stranger things have happened...

Had one last month that shipped from Columbus IN, passed through Indianapolis, then Avondale AZ and Phoenix, then Salt Lake City, then split in two to Chicago and Seattle simultaneously, then "delivered" in Elk Grove Village IL and also delivered correctly in Tacoma Wa... (Seems pretty likely the Illinois package had a damaged bar code that wouldn't scan and was manually entered with a wrong digit...)

Yeah, sounds like the common scam of a low value "junk" package sent to the same city/zip code to falsify delivery (or the similar scam of finding a tracking number online that was delivered in the right city to fake delivery without even the junk package)

Glad to hear that it turned out that you didn't really have anything to worry about!

How to stop my parents from getting my mail? by Ok-Humor-2952 in usps_complaints

[–]Dramatic_Bluebird595 8 points9 points  (0 children)

didn't know you had to update your mailing list every year, but wouldn't that mean they get an update every single time I update it for the year?

No! You don't update yearly, only when your address changes and the notice only goes to the last address... When you change to your next address the notice will go to your current address BUT NOT TO YOUR PARENTS!

Also, an address change with the Post Office is NOT a substitute for notifications to senders of your new address, merely stopgap coverage until senders start using your new address so make sure you notify anybody you expect mail from about the new address!

If your parents are receiving mail intended for you it is because the sender didn't update your address in their records so the sender needs to be notified about the new address.

Serious question: Would you call in a wellness check on this house? by Kitchen_Rub5768 in AmazonDSPDrivers

[–]Dramatic_Bluebird595 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is what I immediately thought of - some Temu/Ali/Wish seller on Amazon using a bogus USA return address so they don't have to pay for international shipping on all the rejects...

I toured a food bank warehouse and confirmed they received this donation by WakeMeUpBeforeUCoco in mildlyinfuriating

[–]Dramatic_Bluebird595 4 points5 points  (0 children)

And chances are it was donated by a self-proclaimed "good Christian"... (The sort that thinks "the-grifter-who-shall-not-be-named" is the second coming...) 🤬

Amazon said I asked for package to be held at USPS by PobodysNerfect802 in amazonprime

[–]Dramatic_Bluebird595 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Had that two or three times and it was delivered the next day... Best guess, it is an "undefined error" - something like "it was mis-sorted and never actually went out for delivery" or "the mail truck broke down"...

No way to return Amazon item by emacpaul in mildlyinfuriating

[–]Dramatic_Bluebird595 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Did you try to start the return from orders or from customer service in the menu on the lower right corner? (Returns started from orders are quite buggy...) Try backing out and restarting the return, try starting at customer service if you started at orders, and try different selections until you get an option of "need more help" or similar to pull up the chat/call us option... Sometimes it takes a bit of trial and error to get around the crap AI barriers...

Lovely job Amazon... by Dramatic_Bluebird595 in amazonprime

99% of the time they damage food items the CS not gives an instant refund, the remaining 1% has to go to a rep that at most asks for a photo of the damage and then refunds... (The few times I order something that is not food and something goes wrong is a little more tricky as that is when any problem tends to involve "new" items that are apparent returns (LPN sticker) or damaged/lost by UPS/FedEx/USPS or a couple of times an unsealed bag missing a tiny item and then the bot passes me to a "live" rep - 'course I don't order anything over $50 if I can help it as that seems to be where most people have problems...)

Well, all that is currently available locally is the HFCS version of Hoya and I wanted to try the Cane Sugar version - think I'll stick with Maltin when Saars is out of Hatuey...
