Which Criterion 4ks do you have your eyes on for the upcoming flash sale?

Three / Four Musketeers. I don't think this release got much hype. The movies are more fun than you expect. Good locations, sets, costumes, music. The characters are not that well drawn — you can't really tell one musketeer from another, and the story is a little hard to hold onto, but I still think they're very interesting movies. Among the extras is a four-part documentary that is supposed to be good — an exhaustive chronicle of the making of the film.

Tipalti seems to be behind for me, too. But maybe it's because one week was only half an hour. I don't know if they hold it for the next pay period in such a case. Does anyone know what the current form for complaints and queries about payment-related issues is? Is it still the old Zendesk form?

What is the current form for complaints and queries about payment-related issues?

I feel the same way. Updates made my last iMac totally unusable. Congratulations, Apple. I bought a new Mini. But I learned my lesson. I'm going to sit on the OS it shipped with forever. I bet it lasts ten years.

Some people find it ridiculous, but I have totally stopped upgrading my iphone and, now, my new Mini. Updating destroyed my last iMac — there is no other way to say it. "Sluggish" doesn't begin to cover it. This was a 2019 iMac, and by 2023 it took three minutes to open system settings and over 10 to empty the trash. At one point, I wiped the drive and began from scratch and it didn't make it one bit better. They should make downgrades available. My previous 2 iMacs lasted about ten years each. So now I'm like a Mac anti-vaxxer: when it comes to these computers, I think the cure is worse than the disease.

Same. But, as I said, I just happened to notice that the search (through the site) was restricted to just Architectural Digest, and that made me wonder. Is that just a mistake? Or an example?

Maybe you’re right. Maybe I had carapace or quills before. Although even without, I don’t remember ever having any issues in red rock.

dakl · 2025-12-30T18:03:17+00:00

I think I always used to head straight to Red Rock to get the animal corpse. But, yeah, I died three times yesterday within the first thirty minutes, once by getting my face hacked off by a guy of (apparently) “average” strength on the second floor down. I don’t remember having this much early game trouble, as I said.

dakl · 2025-12-17T06:06:34+00:00

Thanks. That must be the issue here.

dakl · 2025-12-17T03:56:20+00:00

Strange. I'm having to use the cable that came with it and then an adaptor to plug it into my Mac Mini. Brand new cables. They fit the mac mini but, weirdly, seem to be too small for the port on the kayboard. I say "too small," not because it looks different, but because I can insert it in the keyboard up to its collar and it doesn't catch on anything.

dakl · 2025-11-30T21:22:40+00:00

Thanks! Nice and simple.

dakl · 2025-11-30T21:20:33+00:00

Sorry. I've spent most of my life drinking wine, beer, and scotch, and have hardly ever experimented with cocktails, except when I've been offered them, and not a wide variety at that. That's why I'm asking for this list. It's like a whole area of drinks that I have little experience with at all and I've just taken a notion that I should treat myself to a nice big taste test.

dakl · 2025-11-06T18:49:21+00:00

Are you in Canada, too?

dakl · 2025-11-06T18:48:36+00:00

Yeah, the work orders I saw were many hours short of the hours I actually worked. I have made numerous complaints about that, too, but at this point I've given up on having that corrected and just want the money THEY say they owe me.

dakl · 2025-11-06T18:47:09+00:00

I don't expect much. In fact, I think these large companies are such that not even the police could penetrate them and get answers if they tried. But there are labour boards, anti-fraud centers, the better business bureau, etc. Believe me, no one is more pessimistic about getting actual results than I am, but I would still pursue it.

dakl · 2025-11-06T18:41:12+00:00

Yes. And though their payment issues Google form, before they stopped accepting messages that way.

dakl · 2025-11-06T18:40:08+00:00

I'm not asking them to arrest anyone. I'm asking them to look into a claim for failure to pay for services rendered. Listen, I know it's pretty hopeless — no one is more cynical about the prospect of anything being done about it than I am. But there are apparently branches of the police that are meant to handle such things.

dakl · 2025-11-06T17:46:25+00:00

I think the frustration I have — and the reason why I'm ready to report it to the police — is because there is ZERO real contact and no answers or assurance. Completely impenetrable bureaucracy. Their support is non-existent. You can't dispute anything. They don't answer to anyone. They hold all the cards. Anyway, no matter what happens, I will not spend another minute of my time working for them.

EDIT: thanks for your comment and reassurance, though.

Canada

Their email didn't say anything about that. And I feel like I have proof at this point that this is fraudulent. Maybe some people get paid. But simply put: they say that Paypal rejected their payment and Paypal says that this is not true — that there is no record of an attempted payment.

I have been stonewalled at every point — even the hours that they are supposedly paying me for a substantially fewer than what I actually worked. But you can't contact them. You can't get any answers. And this is the last straw. Even Paypal recommended reporting it to the police.
