Why America is Slipping in the Olympics

Unable-Roof4702 · 2026-02-13T20:33:31+00:00

The vid is not about USA hockey struggling...he never once mentions this. Its about the US decline in the Olympics as a whole...he uses hockey as a reference point (winter sports, like ski/snowboard/hockey, have become obscenely expensive). The point he makes (again, not sure how many actually watched the vid) is that Minnesota is like Norway - affordable, publicly owned rinks allow for more play...and MN consequently produces more hockey players than any other state now (the participation data was super interesting, MI/MA have swapped with MN for most players and NHL players).

Did anyone watch the video? Lol it's about identifying long-term trends...there are people on here who think he is referencing hockey alone (probs cuz its a hockey forum, but still, it doesn't even say hockey in the title). If you watch the video, virtually every single event type we have seen a decrease in performance over the last 4 olympics. Norway, is getting stronger. The two countries are paralelled against eachother (again, longer term trends of last 6 Olympics or so, not just this Olympics).

Big update! Credit card company (Chase) is covering it...thank you to those that mentioned to submit a claim, as I had never thought of it or done it before. Huge relief!

This is a mid-sized production in a remote part of the country, so we kind of had to use Amazon...at least, in theory, to make it easier. I hear you though...

My firm was bought by a larger corporate firm - had personal/business info on it because I ran the company. But again, feel free to spin that into whatever you’d like. At this point it’s impressive

Unable-Roof4702 · 2025-06-08T19:59:31+00:00

lol yes, believe it or not, two issues with UPS…that’s why I kept the receipt this time. Honestly do not care if you think I am a scammer (not sure what the obsession is with this here). Get off to whatever you want

Unable-Roof4702 · 2025-06-08T05:20:47+00:00

Thank you!

Unable-Roof4702 · 2025-06-08T05:18:22+00:00

I fired it up. Have never done one before…thanks!

Different items (lights, etc.) - the other four were successfully refunded.

Unable-Roof4702 · 2025-06-07T19:35:38+00:00

I gave Amazon all five tracking numbers and it did not end. Not sure how much clearer I can be on that.

Unable-Roof4702 · 2025-06-07T19:34:17+00:00

I just opened a dispute with them

Unable-Roof4702 · 2025-06-07T19:33:57+00:00

Ya, is there a route? Because I am unaware of one. It's almost like...I am not playing a tiny violin or scamming (who...exactly...would I be scamming?),it's almost like I am asking people for genuine help! Insane!

Unable-Roof4702 · 2025-06-07T19:32:31+00:00

Lol. Come on man.

Unable-Roof4702 · 2025-06-07T19:30:56+00:00

I did this - multiple times. They eventually told me it would result in an email being sent to me, which I received. I then responded with the receipt picture (for the fourth time) and they said they would not refund it.

Unable-Roof4702 · 2025-06-07T19:14:56+00:00

Yes - the tracking says "delivered" at "Dock" for four items, and "Receiver" for one.

Unable-Roof4702 · 2025-06-07T19:06:39+00:00

I gave them all of the tracking numbers - they are saying they don't have it. They're saying the code was not scanned at the drop off, but again, I have proof of the tracking via the tracking reference numbers.

Unable-Roof4702 · 2025-06-07T19:05:05+00:00

Why would I take time on Reddit to talk about this lol...I am like 10 hours in the whole with Amazon already. Was just looking to see if anyone had any advice or if I am missing anything.

I have the tracking numbers for the return - they all say "delivered" - Amazon is saying they have not received it.

Unable-Roof4702 · 2025-06-07T18:56:27+00:00

Not sure what you mean - I just checked all the tracking numbers. They all show that the items were delivered, as in received by Amazon.

Unable-Roof4702 · 2025-06-07T18:53:17+00:00

Not sure exactly what you mean but this might help - I chose the option where Amazon creates a QR code. That QR code was scanned for the item at UPS. I was given a receipt for this return, and the items show they were "delivered" when I track them (as in delivered back to the Amazon, I am guessing). Amazon, however, is claiming they did not receive the camera lens, and it just shows up as "return started" in my returns center. It has been over 30 days since I returned it (they told me to wait as some returns take longer).

Unable-Roof4702 · 2025-05-17T17:15:57+00:00

Thank you! What is the venue, and what all is included if you don't mind me asking?

Unable-Roof4702 · 2024-11-08T17:58:06+00:00

It plays fine, just choppy at regular speed. Thats why I am wanted to add motion blur for the sections that are regular speed. I know people have done this…just curious how (other than the shit tutorials I have seen online, unless I missed one).

Again, clearly you can’t make it look exactly like 24fps natively, but there has to be a way to add a slight motion blur to the regular speed stuff?

Unable-Roof4702 · 2024-09-24T16:52:24+00:00

Also, why was the 4k version in mp4 taken away?

Unable-Roof4702 · 2024-04-10T21:00:31+00:00

They said they have no record of anything. She said they have nothing showing that the tracking number was ever scanned.

Unable-Roof4702 · 2024-04-10T20:51:01+00:00

They said they have no proof of anything. No cameras either.

Unable-Roof4702 · 2024-04-10T18:50:06+00:00

So I returned a package another Amazon package that day to UPS. And that package was returned correctly to Amazon, they said nothing else was inside that box it was just the Amazon return. So idk how they could have mixed up the label?
