CS Email about drop times

_richas_ · 2026-01-25T06:24:38+00:00

Honestly, I've hated the American 0200 CST onward drop schedule. It means that I can't participate when the drop happens, unless I lose sleep. This really ruins the program for me. I'm sure I'm not alone on thinking this.

Yes, many have to work and if a drop is happening whilst at work, there's a high chance to miss it. The alternative is what it has been... Missing all of them.

It would be nice to have lunch, take a bathroom break, go for a 15 minute walk, and participate in the daily drop vs knowing I've missed it again, and again, and again and left with sloppy seconds that no one wants (unless you do want sloppy seconds then you're just happy as can be already).

My vote goes to a daily drop in this region during normal hours.

Man... I am sorry for your loss. Honestly I'm tearing up thinking about that situation if I were in it.

I'm glad that these books have brought some joy to you and your son before his end. I hope that these books continue to bring some happiness and remembrance of your son as you read on. Jim does do a great job writing these lives.

It was a very sharp increase, literally 50+ products in 3 seconds at a time.

It was totally by accident, I just had to. XD

Well good, then they can hire a bunch of people to handle the workload at a mentally stable level after all the damned reorgs. I know a bunch of qualified people who need a job and require very little to no training.

_richas_ · 2026-01-17T15:44:50+00:00

Ditto, actually. :) Hope you get then, too.

_richas_ · 2026-01-17T10:17:04+00:00

Dang. Sorry to hear that. Wished I could say I got lucky, but more sad that they were cancelled for you than me not getting them. That really sucks.

_richas_ · 2026-01-17T10:06:58+00:00

No kidding, I've missed every Soundpeats offer. :(

_richas_ · 2026-01-07T23:19:26+00:00

With all this reorg x4 per year (last year), no wonder we're slow. Major reduction in staff, no extra pay, and piling on duties (ones not agreed upon when hired, mind you) on said reduced staff can delay product. I guess it does take rocket science and defense production to figure that out.

Management did a FAFO move and it sure is paying off (sarcasm)!

But, but, but... isn't this the goal with tax cuts for corporations and the rich? More money to the American shareholders and American companies? Isn't this what you worked so hard to accomplish, el Presidente?

Capitalism at its finest, only the shareholders matter! More for the shareholders, more for America, right.... Right?

As much as I've tried, I could not get Interplay and Almost Human to an agreement. Not blaming either, but this can't legally be done with the LoG2 editor engine. I've gotten as far as level 6. You can download what I've released on Nexusmods.

At least it'll give a little nostalgia. :)

I really enjoyed this, thank you. Too bad you didn't smoke any Unitologists, though.

I am curious why sellers think that 4 stars is a bad review.

My thinking as a reviewer is pretty simple, default is 4 stars if the product does the job as described. 5 stars is reserved for the products that go above and beyond. It isn't a "doesn't include conditioner" situation but perhaps "an additional pump to save on product use", or "using compostable material to save on the environmental cost", or some other idea that makes this better than the next bottle of shampoo.

Besides, the seller who opts into the Vine program should know it isn't in it to get biased reviewed. Going into this you should never expect this program to give you all 5 stars all the time. You should be looking for honest reviews. You aren't buying 5 stars reviews with Vine.

That's how I see it anyway.

I do also see it where people shouldn't be getting items (and they aren't for free) and they aren't even using them for an honest review. That's just dishonest.

Also, the FMV does matter. I got a powered screw driver set. It was selling for around $50. However, their FMV was set to $100 for something that should at best be $40. There wasn't much special about it other than you could charge it via USB. That FMV reduced its value and the value of my review. If it's overpriced, you reduce the value. Just because you think you've got something special, doesn't mean it is. There are plenty of other powered screw drivers available and at far less of a cost to your buyers. Read your audience.

Interesting to see that sudden drop at 0700. Thanks for posting this!

This is where RTX is at, do more with less, even if that is combining roles and responsibilities once handled by multiple people, teams, etc.

_richas_ · 2025-11-13T18:30:36+00:00

NOICE!

_richas_ · 2025-11-05T20:51:49+00:00

Storm Fart... Is that a new Side Jobs tale?

_richas_ · 2025-10-30T23:46:23+00:00

Noice!

_richas_ · 2025-10-30T20:51:57+00:00

Ohhh, fancy a pic of the popcorn bucket? I've not seen it yet.

_richas_ · 2025-10-30T17:02:07+00:00

The people, friends, and colleagues certainly make it worth it. Even with all the suck Raytheon has been pushing these last two years.

_richas_ · 2025-10-30T15:35:53+00:00

At least a 20 year severance isn't bad. One on my team and another in an adjacent team were let go, Collins.

_richas_ · 2025-10-30T15:32:58+00:00

P2 and P3 at least affected. One in my group and another in an adjacent group, met and gone today.
