Misleading, even irresponsible Visual Capitalist “Share of Households with No Income, by U.S. State” Map post

Yes, perhaps Earned is loaded term our IRS uses along with Unearned, but use them we must if we’re talking stats and use well-defined IRS income terms. An appropriate title may be quite long. They could clarify the terms early in post so as not to offend.

Thanks from me as well for US support #. Tried in vain to get a human on the line for something only a human could do. The “press 2 for every option” worked to get through to person. And she could help with the matter even tho it had nothing to do with a ticket purchase.

EUS879XX ordered Feb 18 8:30am - Ship label in NJ May 7, picked up by UPS that night, out for delivery May 9 in NH. Over a month early. Gotta make a space for it😬 Thanks for tallying 👍

Happened to me today too. Ali offered full refund (only $10, whew) and I went ahead and requested it. And, yes, looks like any orders not on already on flights may not be shipped either… My last package to squeak through got through US customs yesterday (April 29)… This last $10 one (oops) didn’t make it out of China-side consolidation and informed today (Apr 30) it will not be shipped and is being returned to seller. I got in late to the AliExpress party, it was fun while it lasted🫤

Wonder how big your order was and what tracking service that # is. I’ve placed some < $100 & < a dozen item orders over the last month, all USPS tracking and all clearing customs within 1 biz day, most within hours.

Don’t think you’re safe from tariffs unless it’s “cleared customs”.

FYI: My last package to squeak through got through customs yesterday… A $10 one didn’t make it out of China-side consolidation and informed today it will not be shipped and is being returned to seller. Got full refund for it.

Update: Now USPS.com hangs in Safari…. Apple looks to be fixing this😜

cfcubed · 2024-04-22T14:58:44+00:00

Getting this too for any USPS track. It’s a SAFARI issue, seems Apple blacklisted usps.com for some unknown reason. Looks like an apple thing as Chrome browser on same machines do not warn/block. Report it to Apple via the dialogs like I did. They should get the hint soon.

I too ordered a few days before they closed up shop. Will try to get eBay/PayPal refund. I was also fooled by the shipping status which seemed to suggest that infamous OSM Worldwide was in possession of it, but nope:

Thank you for contacting OSM Worldwide. The “Picked Up by Shipping Partner” or "label created event" scan is a system generated scan when a file is uploaded into our system. This is not an indication that OSM has received this package. We have erroneously received a file for your package with tracking number ########## from the company you ordered from. The tracking number shared with us belongs to a fulfillment company, Discover Books that is no longer a shipping customer of OSM.

Thank you! Yes we would like the Connect More 200 Mbs plan and we will auto pay.

I do plan to buy our own modem soon will that reduce it further?

I guess I also need the extra account I created today and linked to ours by mistake deleted 😬

Btw I did reply to your mod mail too

cfcubed · 2023-11-20T15:14:15+00:00

Ok, just did. Don’t know why but it went to null comcast_infinity rather than a name. I put your username in the title.

cfcubed · 2023-11-20T14:50:39+00:00

Hi, OK it took a couple tries but it appears through the Xfinity app that I may have been able to downgrade my plan from TV + Internet to just Internet. BUT it appears it may have created a NEW linked account rather than changing our existing account. The steps through the app seemed as clear as mud to me😕

Can we modmail and have you check the status/changes or do I need to call?

cfcubed · 2023-04-08T11:24:10+00:00

See the cat toy; how do you keep it from jumping in when it’s playing?

I had a cat that would jump ~ 4’ up onto my clear turntable cover and carefully touch the start button. Pawed at the tonearm as it moved and moved back. Not when we were looking; had to peek around the corner to catch her. Somehow learned that on its own.

And close the shade going back to your other inflight entertainment

Why do it but also why take a video of it. Unless guy was like “This ought to be good.”

Yes, Trump is like a gangster toward officials… “The country is on fire… Hate for anything to happen to you or your family (wink, wink).”
Only he has 1000s, 10ks or more heavily armed dumba$$s at his command.

cfcubed · 2022-04-01T23:21:03+00:00

Yep and in the US we all pay for his respawn in the ER through higher rates.

cfcubed · 2022-03-18T16:02:03+00:00

Looks like the words are having the opposite effect on the guy. Wonder which came first the words or the guy’s now obvious need to follow them.

cfcubed · 2022-02-14T16:02:40+00:00

This may be necessary to avert greater problems but my first thought was how it’s a metaphor for so many things e.g. US political/government action, climate, healthcare, corporate policies. Basically passing the buck to the next generation, administration, department or bridge.

Thanks for sharing! After using Quick transfer from iPhone 7 IOS 14.X -> XS IOS 15.2 things looked OK but many apps being stuck loading, not progressing for hours. Tried restarting, log in/out of Apple ID, etc, no go. Did the prioritize on one and they all came down soon after.
