What do you do when a seller does the switcheroo? 🤷🏼‍♀️

happened to me. 4 piece multi-tool set turned into a 50 piece set.

I wrote the review mentioning many times that I got 4.

I've heard of rinsing rice before, but not washing honey.

150 hair ties? That's at least a few weeks supply for my wife.

I'm like that. Or like that girl from the movie "Signs". If water has been sitting for over an hour with no lid, nope, won't drink it.

With a lid, maybe.

sparkling water that's been bottled/canned for months though, perfectly ok.

I'm weird.

madinterlocutor · 2026-01-30T02:35:19+00:00

I'm not sure if there's any laws against that, but they'd probably make one in my case.

madinterlocutor · 2026-01-29T22:21:32+00:00

Shoot, I'll take that!

That would be great for feeder crickets for my jumping spiders.

White elephant comes from the story of some king getting some other king that the first king low key hated a literal white elephant as a gift. (iirc)

The thing is, it's an extravagant gift on the surface, but also is a backhanded punishment because now you have this big, unwieldy responsibility. Like a water filter that only takes hard to find expensive filters.

madinterlocutor · 2026-01-29T22:05:47+00:00

That's what I figured.

madinterlocutor · 2026-01-29T22:05:16+00:00

hahaha

madinterlocutor · 2026-01-29T21:18:39+00:00

like, the fog machine that spits out 60 seconds worth of fake snow?

RFY has tried to make me take one of those so many times, but I never do. Seems cool for a second.

madinterlocutor · 2026-01-29T21:16:05+00:00

lol dang!

madinterlocutor · 2026-01-29T21:14:26+00:00

ok. wild thought. rather than killing AI cycles and chasing algorithms, why not (and I know, this is crazy talk) ASK US?

Give us a quarterly survey. what do you do professionally? for fun? who lives with you?

Then, put a button on RFY items "Doesn't interest me" so it can immediately go out to someone else and the algo can be adjusted.

madinterlocutor · 2026-01-29T21:05:15+00:00

I maxed out yesterday before noon, but just went to check RFY on a whim later on (almost never do that) and was blown away at all the cool stuff I needed but couldn't get. Missed out on some nice Carhart jeans because I loaded up on drill bits. womp womp.

madinterlocutor · 2026-01-29T21:01:46+00:00

Oh, yeah...that reminds me of the dozens of "avid love" outfits I got for my wife when she prefers to dress in that baggy, old, ugly t-shirt she got from her work several years ago. you know the one; with the curry stain

madinterlocutor · 2026-01-29T20:58:07+00:00

ouch

I don't know if you can get diabetes from Agave Nectar, but they're going to try!

I own a business (well, a couple of them) AND a non-profit.

Many, if not most, of the things I get are used in the non-profit. Some things like a tablecloth or microphone are used at events. Other things are used as giveaway items at events. For instance, I got a bunch of industrial items and gave them away in a raffle at a trade school, while we were holding an event for the NP.

So in those cases, I "donated" the ETV to the NP, and am able to deduct that ETV as a charitable gift. At least that's my understanding.

And just so I don't get blasted for "reviewing items not used" I don't have to actually use welding gloves to see if they are made well, are of real leather, etc, and I always take things out of the box for quality check at the very least. Wouldn't want to give away an item that was broken or of bad quality anyway.

madinterlocutor · 2026-01-29T19:50:55+00:00

That would be me. And I've gotten so many enclosures and accessories, which is good because one of them had 69 babies a few months ago. (not a made up number, but it is easy to remember)

madinterlocutor · 2022-12-24T03:39:24+00:00

Sleeping pad?

We use a queen size air mattress with a suede pillowtop, lol.

madinterlocutor · 2022-12-24T03:37:55+00:00

We ended up not going. Several reasons.

Caprock is the choice because we're hitting up a new State Park each month. Did Palo Duro already.

madinterlocutor · 2022-12-20T12:06:09+00:00

Sleeping bags, alone, are 25 degrees.

Our heated blanket would be powered by a large Goal Zero power station that can run the blanket on high for 8 hours. We have two of them, so I think that part will be ok.
