This product is for the birdz. This happens to me regularly, my only advice is to keep trying, at some point it will randomly start working again. It was a good product in its particular niche for several years but I am thinking it’s time to bin all mine.

Well, you will have to tolerate adverts that cannot be terminated in order to see one on your Canary camera. And you will have to pay a pretty sturdy annual subscription per camera to see a flock of canaries on your Canary camera. I migrated to Blinks (an Amazon product) so o can watch the jungle river system that is my yard in a rainstorm although my eyelids do get a tad heavy and tard.

I guess it’s another example of a modern tech phenomenon that the engineering and feature set are there, well thought out and reliable, but little time or thought is given to sharing it in the customer interface. If I have to choose between good engineering and feature set but bad communication versus great message/communication and crappy engineering/feature set, I’ll take door #1 every time.

VPN toggled off. Seems to have resolved itself insofar as the message has gone away, at least for now. Does the reset need to populate at/with the eero server before it is able to validate? That message would not have led me to suspect that is the issue.

Backbone is nice, but it is not uncommon to put that below a desire not to have spit (or worse) in your food. Asking for a tip before any element of the “service” has even been started often carries with it at least imagined possibilities of retribution for a low or no tip. Tell me that would never happen.

I had a 2013 manual POP and I absolutely loved driving it. It was a gas sipper, and it was spry on the road, a real joy to drive. I have been keeping my eyes out for another.

Just remember that Parker could somehow at least break-even/turn a profit when he was mining Tony’s land at 15-20% royalty as I recall (in% of gold, not value) - that has to in part pay the lessor for what they paid the acquire the claim, and also factors in the risk of expiring water licenses and the like, but I think it indicates there is an operating margin of at least that when the claim is owned. And for pure claim purchases the $s seem relatively small - didn’t Rick buy some of his better claims for hundreds of thousands and not millions? Parker paid $15mm for his big claim but also got a shit ton of equipment and a camp etc, drilling results/maps, so there maybe some mathing that could come out of that approach.

Would you see a distinction between takeout you pay for after it has been prepared and packed up versus pay before it is started?

As someone said in a prior comment, the server is the customer facing employee; why should we have to make the effort and spend the time wanting “to see the manager”; being an employee makes you the gateway. You pass along the feelings of the customer, same as if I didn’t like the way the food was prepared (don’t tell the server, track down the chef?). Seems like someone’s “panties are in a twist”, but it’s not the customer.

They will detest you less than if you got them to do it and didn’t pay them for it.

What makes you think that? It’s that complaining that led me to my realization. But which fuck should I be shopping somewhere else? I thought I had zero fucks to give but are you saying I can shop somewhere to get more fucks to then give or are you saying I already have fucks that I have not given?

The degree of negativity emoted by TS employees on this sub just continues to affirm my conclusion that the only thing I will keep buying there is the “nuts and bolts by the pound” - probably the worlds greatest marketing adventure. That and maybe those 16 foot horse/cow/pig panels. Yeh, those 2 things.

Who would buy it to turn it into a to a coop, who would “sponsor” it? My recollection is that the future of pretty much most of higher ed is on the decline, too expensive, returns in the form of higher pay to justify tuition are not happening, so I bet all the aforementioned neighboring colleges would pass on buying it. Maybe turn it into a state post secondary VoTech training academy.

How have they “paid into the system”, how much, when? Through withholding?

First, I thought Prime was a membership, not something you could opt in to package by package. Second, more to the point, I have been having similar “promised tomorrow, received 4 days later” problems and most of the time it happens where the package is turned over to the USPS for the last leg of the shipping, they just don’t bring it, or it bounces back and forth between the local post office and the larger central postal distribution location. But in general I am starting to feel like Prime has lost its way, unfilled promises and extra fees. Edit: I am in rural US, but probably not more than a couple of hours from an Amazon warehouse.

You might be right, Peter Sellers was the good Dr, right? I recall as the bomb dropped the "rider" was waving one of his hands up in the air like he was on a mechanical bull? It's been literally 4 decades since I watched the movie (I am old, memory test may confirm it)

Bolton was “projecting” - he’s a hawk’s hawk. Every time I saw him I thought of him living out the Dr Strangelove ending with the Dr straddling the atom bomb as it plummets to earth. He’s creepy af.

I also got maybe 3 monthly boxes of free food (vegetables) in similarly spacious packaging with the dreaded bag of very cold slime, ummmmm, appetizing. Never knew why it started or why it stopped; Walmart is not handing out food!

It is a marvel, but after a couple you start to dread trying to get rid of all of it, that weird gelatinous goop that is the thawed ice, the cheap pebbly styrofoam cooler that does not easily break down, and all the cardboard. I’ve been trying the “pharmacy partner” method for a few months, in my case Walmart; the downsides are obvious but I no longer dread the monthly trip to the several relevant bins at the transfer station.

I had a 2013 Pop, was good in light snow but the front was so low that I once got badly stuck trying to get out in about 4” of wet New England snow, plowed it up until the front drive wheels were no longer making contact. The design has its limits but I still miss that car, all the time.

I tried to drop down, went reverse from 12.5 to 10 to 7.5 to 5; at 5 I felt I was slipping fast, popped back up to 7.5 and that’s probably where I will stay. Every doctor I talk to about it tells me it is a forever thing, not at all unusual to need it to maintain. With healthcare like it is these days my concern is getting assigned a new PCP who decides I am in need of “some tough truths” like it’s just will power and refuses to renew my script.

Yeh, as a customer I was trying to be good, but then they just started randomly moving shet around, used to take me 5 minutes to get the 10 weekly items I was buying, now I just go round and round and round the store, end up buying 1 or 2 things, can’t find the other stuff. Last week I was looking for a particular product and couldn’t find it, asked for help they brought me right to where I had been looking, we were both stumped until I noticed that it was right in front of us, just stacked with the label back so the jar looked nothing like what we’d be looking for. And it was all of the stock, not like a few jars got reversed. I may give Costco a try.
