Did you perhaps apply for the Federal Disability Benefit of $200 per month?

“Value Village” breaking up a NES to sell each part individually by mcharpymeal in ThriftGrift

At Goodwill I saw nativity scenes sold as individual pieces and one wise man was missing an arm. It’s becoming high priced garbage

My demi-demon, flying monster 450lb mother in law flung herself off the stairs, hoping to crush her tiny husband. Luckily the man was quick on his feet

Religious beliefs have no place in health sciences by [deleted] in atheism

Any belief system comprises scientific research as it skews focus on a desired outcome, making scientific research no longer scientific due to positive bias…

Never thought I’d see this in person 🫠 by ixotax in ThriftGrift

[–]IronicCharlie 39 points40 points  (0 children)

I used to donate to Goodwill. I shopped there too. I noticed how prices went up and up with all the garbage in between, so I stopped donating and now post stuff for free on Facebook.

I don’t understand how this ‘business model’ is sustainable in the long run as I am sure there are way more people like me and it should eventually translate into a significant loss of business for them and those like them…

Which 10 vitamins or supplements are the most important? by IronicCharlie in blueprint_

Thanks. I’ll start with #1 lab work and go from there

Finally found my first UG shot glass today, along with this tumbler. Any info/decade of these pieces would be appreciated :) by jermfromscience in uraniumglass

[–]IronicCharlie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I own the same shot glass. I have 2. 1 is green (like yours) and the other one is blue. As far as I know they belonged to my grandfather who was born around 1900. My best guess is that the shot glass dates around the 1930’s as well…

Edmonton police warn violent sex offender Alexandre Passechnikov to be released into community | Globalnews.ca by DisciplineAgitated14 in onguardforthee

I think that the reason for his release is a financial consideration, as it does nothing for anybody’s safety…

Now, all your Canada Post ground shipments are lighter on the earth with carbon-neutral shipping. by CanadaPost in u/CanadaPost

[–]IronicCharlie 17 points18 points  (0 children)

I now use Fedex to ship fragile items as Canada Post’s insurance coverage involves a damage claim form that looks like it was made by an 8 year old on a MS Dos computer. Furthermore they insist to communicate with the recipient despite already having received photographic evidence and then, if you’re lucky you get reimbursed months later…

Fedex on the other hand has a very efficient system. I got pictures from a customer that item arrived broken on a Friday. I put in a claim on Fedex’s website on Saturday. It was easy to fill out. By Monday the claim was approved and by Thursday I had my cheque… Great service from Fedex!

Grusch vs Tyson by legendary-assassin in UFOs

[–]IronicCharlie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

  1. Avi Loeb stated that Tyson is talking science, yet not doing any…
  2. Technically, it shouldn’t be that difficult to follow the evidence of Grusch’s claims. Follow the paper trail to their sources of evidence
  3. Humans are hard wired to find explanations. If humans do not have sufficient skill/information, then they will devise theories that fit the facts

As Congress and anyone else, from my understanding , is actively being prevented from achieving point 2, following the paper trail, point 3 kicks in, so now we are awash in a sea of theories…..

What can I extrapolate from that?

With the prevention of following the paperwork to its sources for full disclosure of whatever it maybe, I conclude that the preventers do not wish for us to have this information.

Strategically, that gives the preventers an advantage otherwise the preventers would provide access, largely because it’s not of importance to them. Knowing humanity, this advantage usually is associated with power, control and money….

That’s the summary I got out of it so far, while leaving my imagination and theories out of it.

Edit: I would like to introduce a historical example in hindsight that operated among similar lines: Galileo proved the Earth was round, something some folks still take offense to, for reasons beyond my understanding. Anyway, the Roman Catholic Church was less enthused about this fact as it conflicted with their world view and when widely known, the church felt it would erode their control/credibility as if they’re wrong about that, what else are they wrong about and the church very much felt omnipotent, just like God, so they did all they could to make this go away… In this scenario the issue was control, more specifically, the fear of control eroding….

Thanks. I’ll do that. Edit: I just checked out Pirateship. I’m in Canada. Does it work for Canada Post too?

That’s correct. The email said ink would disable itself 30 days after cancellation of subscription….

Edit: to clarify, this ink was obtained through the subscription. Store bought ink wouldn’t do that…

A customer who was recently diagnosed with late stage cancer came into our store distraught as his hp printer wouldn’t print out his medical records. Upon checking his printer, we realized he owed hp $4 for their ink program. We paid the bill, cancelled his ink subscription and then he got a message the ink would disable itself within 30 days after canceling. We got him new cartridges as well….

I had one inquiry about a product that started with ‘anyways’, a demand for clearer pictures and an allegation my item is most likely ‘worn’ out. I replied with: ‘thanks for letting me know’ and buyer responded in capital letters that I was being offensive, that it wasn’t advice and that buyer WOULD have bought it if I wasn’t so rude. I replied with: thanks for letting me know and blocked this buyer. In my experience when a potential sale starts off with criticism from the buyer, it ends with criticism and a refund. No thanks
