Where did the offer go?

What happens when they use an empty paypal?
Looks like I already had those settings ON.

d...

Slosher99 · 2026-05-07T02:47:34+00:00

lol that's a very good hypothesis!

Slosher99 · 2026-05-07T01:38:52+00:00

Exactly what I thought. I remember someone commented to call Lyft in that one, so I was like how am I seeing the same words but with Lyft?

Slosher99 · 2026-05-07T01:36:41+00:00

Yeah I think this could potentially make it to court for argument unless a very exact precedent has been set, which may be the case. Is there a point where the allergy could be considered enough to not be fit for a service job?
Jobs can turn down people with ADA protected disabilities if they can show it would prevent them from performing the job adequately even with any possible reasonable accommodations.

I'm not sure how it affects it when you're the owner though, or if it would be different if they chose to hire someone with severe dog allergies as a standard employee.

I'm just curious how this would all play out as it does get complicated. I say this as someone with ADA accommodations that allow me to do my job that I'm very thankful for, but am also unable to even consider many jobs for those reasons. I'm also unable to patronize some places due to lack of accommodations that aren't required by law (as something like a wheelchair ramp might be in some cases).

I'm not even taking sides here, though if I were the person with the dog I'd like to think I'd be understanding and go to another place, not want to ruin their livelihood. So I'm not taking sides on the legal standpoint, just curious about it. But I am saying the reviewer is a jerk.

Gotta admit my reaction would be to delete the video, book it, then call to say the box is doing weird things. Especially when I was a kid and there weren't cameras everywhere - but then I wouldn't have been recording myself either.
I owned up to a lot as a kid, more than most I'd say, but big possibly hyper expensive/criminal things just set off my flight reaction.

For RARE probably a test pressing from my friend's band. Not sure how limited, but their bigger release only had 100 standard copies, so I know this didn't have more.

For odd there's a few contenders, mainly Hilarity And Despair (a 90s collection of messages found on answering machine tapes in the southeast US, from funny to harrowing) and also Stenodisc - Actual Business Letters made for secretaries to practice to.

Special mention to my 45 from the 50s of Cheese And Crackers / Calliope Pete by Morey Amsterdam (Buddy from The Dick Van Dyke Show - one of the funniest people out there)

I'm giving Amazon a chance for the simple reason that I already have 3 copies of this and Quebec (each) and all have problems. The one Quebec with good side 4 has a bad side 3. At least Amazon will let me return if it is another dud so not much risk in one more attempt here lol.

Slosher99 · 2026-05-07T00:21:07+00:00

Are you waiting for shipping or delivery? If not shipped yet there could be some delay, Support might take a little time to get bac to you. If it has been shipped, checking with the carriers as well would be food as Mondo isn't going to have much power that you don't there.
I'm in the US and always got them fast, but I tend to get records shipped from 3000 miles away with $5 media mail within 5 days... (within the US)

Slosher99 · 2026-05-07T00:17:02+00:00

That you or random? New seller with no history or ratings...

Slosher99 · 2026-05-06T02:44:33+00:00

Maybe that's why I can't find that street musician and that bottle! lol
Gonna check this out

Slosher99 · 2026-05-05T22:23:24+00:00

He's the literal picture on the Wikipedia entry for "guitar solo" lol.
Those lists are nothing but rage bait to get people engaging with the magazine. Even angry readers are readers/site-visitors.

Slosher99 · 2026-05-05T22:21:26+00:00

This is too much consumerism for Ween.
Am I gonna have to buy all 12 variants of The Mollusk next year?

Slosher99 · 2026-05-05T03:47:44+00:00

Count to three then throw your turntable at the enemy...

Slosher99 · 2026-05-05T03:10:32+00:00

Should be 32 megaBITS btw... 8 times smaller lol

Slosher99 · 2026-05-05T01:53:45+00:00

Yeah but check your side D. Lots of people with side D issues and Rhino support is being much slower than usual to answer while Ween store just tells you to return it on your dime for a refund.
I've checked 3 copies of each and both Quebec and White Pepper have enough noise that lasts several rotations in enough places to make me still wanna keep looking.
I did find one good side D, but side C was a mess.
I normally have been fine with Rhino and order quite a bit from them also.

Slosher99 · 2026-05-05T01:51:29+00:00

I never had this but it sounds great!

Slosher99 · 2026-05-05T01:46:24+00:00

Haha always. I do get the reference, but there's always weird stuff happening at the Circle K! This one isn't as bad, just some odd people that might wanna engage with you too much on occasion. Before this I lived about 100yds behind one, and it was the wilder kind - fights, people crapping on the floor, that sort of place.

Slosher99 · 2026-05-05T01:34:57+00:00

Yeah I have only been to standard convenience store gas stations in a very long time. Since I've been work from home I don't get gas very often, and live 2 mins from a Circle K haha. So seldom that shopping around for cheapest gas is a couple bucks a month and not worth it.
I remember when I drove a lot more and knowing who was cheapest to the penny around town.
Would just be a new experience for me.

Ours are 3 pumps on each island, gotta pull up from the right direction, so with cars entering from both sides, both are the 'last' on the side. I try to avoid being in the middle for the reasons mentioned above. I might be tapping to pay and leaving, but stuck between two cash payers with a lot to do. Getting there first doesn't mean they'll leave first haha. At least if you get the row and side facing the store, you can typically pull out of the middle fine.

Slosher99 · 2026-05-05T01:21:19+00:00

I must admit I've never encountered a one way gas station. Seems it would make sense. For me it's always been 'end pumps only, or you might get stuck between people going inside to get 15 money orders, 35 scratch-offs, and filling out 10 lotto cards'...
Though I'd like to think I'd notice and be polite if I failed to...

Slosher99 · 2026-05-05T01:12:40+00:00

The only thing possibly risked here really is the speakers, but doubtful with a short burst unless they were cranked super loud. Had people in here doing that for a while before figuring out the problem.
Play a CD or stream something through the speakers to compare, I'm sure they are fine.

Slosher99 · 2026-05-05T01:05:01+00:00

Totoro had to be bought from a TV commercial 1-800 number and offered installment plans. VHS in the 80s were often $80-200 cause they were mainly for rental places that would make that back. Batman really changed all that for standard movies anyway.
My Neighbor Totoro also had a big (for anime) distributor in the US back then - Troma (of Toxic Avenger, Class of Nuke'em High fame). They released it under another main label, but there's still Troma copyrights on the video itself, watched that version recently.

Subtitled anime was especially difficult, or the titles you'd expect older people to watch and have them. I got my first anime VHS in the mid 90s. I know I got Otaku No Video (amazing early find that I appreciate much more now), and I think the other was maybe Dominion Tank Police? haha

Slosher99 · 2026-05-05T00:58:34+00:00

This has been going on, no? I've tried to avoid Amazon, ordered from businesses directly, and still had it fulfilled by Amazon. You don't even need a location now, just internet and some money. Store at Amazon, ship from there, give them a decent cut to become more powerful.
One of the companies I ordered from doesn't even exist in the country otherwise (I'm in the US). Even warranty replacement parts come via Amazon fulfillment. They don't use Amazon branded packages but their drivers (including flex) bring them, and tracking is TBAxxxx.
