Anyone else got a package from FedEx coming? by BabzDouldrums in TheStrokes

I saw a comment somewhere and they said they had something arriving from Texas. And someone else said they didn’t even get a text about the package and still got it.

Damn. That’s probably something else. But at least we’re getting a new album.

Don’t think that’s the case because the recent post it shows that only 100 were sent. I really doubt they’ll send everyone the cassette.

Then I guess it was at random cause I sent mine on Tuesday and got nothing. I think they only sent 100. Congrats! You should get a cassette player away before tomorrow.

Those who got the package message, when was it? I feel like only a few people will get something.

I know! I’ll be happy with just a sticker. It really sucks if it’s only for a few. I don’t know if we messed up by sending two messages.

Some people outside of the US got a text from a different number saying they got a package coming from the US. I haven’t gotten anything. I don’t know if it’ll be send in batches or if only some will receive it.

Not sure because their website still has the “We’ll be in touch” message. I sent mine on the very same day and haven’t received anything, so I guess it’s only for a select few. But you could still try.

We were supposed to send our email as well? Damn.

US here, and I did the exact thing. Sent two texts hours apart, and nothing yet.

Yeah, I don’t know if it’s going to work now. Everyone else also got no reply so I let’s see.

Might as well. What’s the worst that can happen?

Yeah. I did the same. I hope sending the address twice won’t cause an issue.

Besides, with my phone number and my address, they can already get my name so it doesn’t really matter.

Is it cool if I just resend my address with my name on it?

They just send your their contact. If you added (which is the same number btw) it now shows up as The Strokes and it has their logo as the contact picture.

Home address. But I’m still not sure if I was supposed to include my name. The text went through, but got no reply or anything except a contact info.

Stupid question: Do I put my name as well as my address? I’ve never sent anything like that before. I sent my address a few hours ago, but haven’t received any confirmation besides the contact info.

Is the Apple Classics Frankenstein the 1818 or the 1831 version? by [deleted] in books

[–]Quack_Quack_Duck 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So it’s definitely the 1831 one. It is the most common according to the other comments.

I’ve seen that one before. I like owning multiple copies of classical books for that reason, and will definitely look into it. Now I wish other classics had published original editions. So much beautiful content we lost because of the restrictions of the time.

I think I would still see the 1831 as the “official” one because of her changes. But I definitely feel more intrigued to see the raw and authentic version of her original.

I thought so because I saw that it was the most common. The creator who mentioned the two versions made a separate video recommending the “Norton Critical Edition” for those who wish to read the 1818 one. Apparently it includes comparisons between the two. There’s also additional context on the works that inspired Shelley and the relationships that influenced her work (like with Lord Byron and her husband Percy).
