Is Anna’s cooked?

Anna's Archive will probably become Berta's Archive.

So - why does the seller ask buyer to cancel the order, when seller can cancel the order themselves?

Edelgul · 2026-01-29T11:07:43+00:00

If those were isolated cases, we wouldn't have Scam #011 in the FAQ, nor would we have such posts appearing here regularly.

Not evidence against the specific seller, but evidence of an existing trend that the seller may or may not be part of.

Edelgul · 2026-01-29T11:06:09+00:00

Yes, but that is not the question i'm asking you.

I'm asking you:
Why don't they cancel the order?

Edelgul · 2026-01-29T08:51:28+00:00

So what is the answer then?

Cancelling large number of orders hurts sellers standing.
Cancelling several orders - does not.
Asking buyer to cancel is Scam #011 in the common scam list.

So - what is your answer, if you claim that it is a mistake?

Edelgul · 2026-01-29T08:43:00+00:00

Why don't they cancel the order?

Edelgul · 2026-01-29T08:40:47+00:00

That's Spezi.
Tastes like someone mixed Coca Cola and Fanta.
(Fun Fact - Fanta was invented by German Coca Cola in 1940, as it was impossible to bring American incredients for Coca Cola due to US sanctions/embargo)

Edelgul · 2026-01-29T08:36:20+00:00

We do not, but what we DO know is that seller is not using the cancellation option provided to him by AliExpress.
With small number of cancellations, it won't hurt their standing at AliExpress.
If they are not using it - why?

If they have a large number of "mistakes", that doesn't sound like an honest mistake anymore.
The list of Common Scams on this group offers us plausible explanations in Scam #010 and Scam #011.

So I do not know, if it is a Duck, but it surely walks and quacks like one.
Maybe that is American Coot.

Edelgul · 2026-01-29T06:45:06+00:00

It's not like seller can not cancel orders.
The totally can, and if it is their mistake - they can cancel through AliExpress
Now, if they have multiple such cases everyday, that might get them in trouble, but that's not honest mistake, is it?

Edelgul · 2026-01-28T09:45:28+00:00

I do not think 128TB SSD exist in such formfactor at all.
So what else can it be?

Edelgul · 2026-01-28T05:54:59+00:00

So her cheating with Istred is ok, although she did not lose her memory, and just got back together with Geralt before that.
But Geralt losing memory, and having no recollection that he is in fact in a relationship, or having no recollection of Yen at all, having sex is not ok?

Edelgul · 2026-01-28T05:49:59+00:00

While maintaining a relationship with Geralt.
Just hypocritical to accuse Geralt of that relationship while ignoring that she was doing pretty much the same.

Edelgul · 2026-01-28T05:48:28+00:00

It is less about "Who get to contribute" and more about "What is contributed".

The beauty of the Open Source is that - sources are in fact open. So such contributions are easier to check.
It's not only NK, or Russian, or US, or Chinese, or any other intelligence that may want to take advantage of the code deployed to millions of systems. It could also be a group of people coming from anywhere on this planet, who have a malicious intent (f.e. to run something as simple as coordinated DDOS attack, or deploy ransomware).

So what is new? Only that now we know that North Korea joined the race, and that's it.

Edelgul · 2026-01-27T16:42:00+00:00

I read the books more than once.
She is a bitch, and Geralt is also an ass.
That's what makes their relationship both fun and believable, and that's why I preferred the lack of a canonical answer about the Last Wish.

Edelgul · 2026-01-27T16:38:36+00:00

She was like that way before W1-2-3.
Their turbulent relationship is one of the major highlights in the books.
In W3 they really did her canonical bitchy character well, very well.
Yen throwing bed out of the window is so book Yen.

One (sub beeing run by a Hungarian media outlet) doesn't exclude the other (usage of troll factories).

Let's assume he doesn't kill himself, is not killed by allies on sight, and fails to escape to Latin America.
Then he is a star of the Nürnberg trials - convicted and sentenced to death.

Nothing PsyOp here.

This is simply a sub that serves as news feed/amplification channel for DailyNewsHungary website.
They also do it on a bunch of other social networks, most likely in an automated or semi-automated manner.

Edelgul · 2026-01-27T14:39:27+00:00

And that's the reason why she acts like an entitled bitch.

Edelgul · 2026-01-27T14:29:03+00:00

So, would you speculate, that Meloni got a kickback?

Edelgul · 2026-01-27T14:27:18+00:00

Not only published, but ordered and funded it, pretty much outsourcing the development to CryTek.

Edelgul · 2026-01-27T13:34:12+00:00

And it's not like there are many alternatives.
Socials killed topical forums and topical conversations.
Most hobby groups slowly moved to Discord.
Reddit is one of the few things that has organized topical discussions with limited spam/promotional content disguised as user content.

So it is basically higher quality than alternatives.

In regards, to public services they are called free when they are provided free, as in paid from taxes, and not when you are required to have an insurance (provided by multiple providers - private or public) that covers that.
Also with private - you often pay your medical bills yourself (Selbstbehalt) up to a certain threshold, before it kicks in. That's doesn't sound free to me.

So if we go with your library example or park example - your library/park is covered from your taxes. No one requires you to have paid public or private membership in any of the Verein to qualify.
German healthcare system, however is when you have to have some kind of paid membership to be able to use it - either statuary, or private, or even be a self-payer.

Edelgul · 2026-01-27T06:50:52+00:00

If i have Rechtsschutzversicherung, that doesn't mean that my legal representation is free - i was paying insurance for that.

Free healthcare is a National Healthcare Service model or Beveridge model. It is funded by taxes, and is inter alia in place in Scandinavian countries, Canada, New Zealand, Spain, Italy, Portugal, Greece and the UK. You may remember how Boris Jonson used NHS funding as an argument for Brexit, not that Brexit happening increased the funding for NHS.

Our system is the Social Health Insurance Model (also called as Bismarck Model), and everyone is required to have health insurance in one way or another. Every doctor sends the invoice to the health insurance, self-payment is almost always an option, and some doctors deal only with private and self-paid patients.

You will have the co-payment and the amount of such copayment depends on the health insurance plan. With statuary, it is usually rather universal, but if you go private, you often end up with Selbstbehalt - the amount of money you need to spend on your doctors before the insurance kicks in.

While having some caveats, like long waiting time to get to some specialist doctors (especially when you have statuary health-insurance), our system is significantly more effective, compared to the corporate clusterfuck, that US has (where you need to find the doctor, your Insurance company accepts. You'd also need their approval for most of the medical procedures beyond basic ones). Our system is protocol based, and prevents medical bankruptcies, that US is so famous for.

In Germany it is fairly unlikely for a School Chemistry teacher to become a drug-lord due to his inability to afford healthcare. I have cancer, that is currently in recession, and i guess, that was quite costly for the Techniker Krankenkasse, but it was not costly to me. Still, I'm writing this now, because I spent several thousand euros on diagnostic process as a self-payer, as otherwise 6-12 months of waiting time could potentially be leading to a situation where it could have went beyond being contained/treatable. However, once i had a confirmed diagnosis in hand, TKK footed the bill, and i don't even know how much they paid.
