I’m not sure if it’s different on warehouse, but they still do that on non-warehouse purchases. I had something that came with ~1/4 of what it was supposed to about a month ago and they refunded and said keep it. Alternatively, I had something that just didn’t work and they paid not only return shipping, but scheduled pickup return shipping.

shy boy from chess club posted:So if anyone isn't up on banana history before the 50s the kind of bananas imported were Gros Michel or "Big Mike". Then what's known as Panama Disease wiped them out, it's a fungal disease that rotted the plants from the inside out. Since bananas are all genetically identical they were almost entirely wiped out. The ones we get now are known as Cavendish and are immune to the disease so far. I'm so glad you posted this, I ordered some bananas from them yesterday to give these a whirl. In other news, some rear end in a top hat decided that one of the canals by my house was a good place to dump transmissions. I made my dad and my sister help me pull them out, and we turned them into a local shop for them to do whatever the hell they wanted.

First thing I did this morning was check the box but they are still really green, I'm dying to try one but it might not be until next week

I've had similar situations where the sane solution is "knock off a few bucks to cover missing parts" but no, they want the whole goddamn thing back. I spend who knows how much on Amazon a year for business and personal, I mean 20-30k, and I return stuff that isn't right, I am talking maybe $1k worth of stuff a year. Used to insta refund as soon as the return label was scanned, now I have to track it down, get the tracking #, call or chat and tell them you have had this for a week where is my GD refund and it takes multiple times to get it issued. F them.

Trucks showed up insanely late (midnight... they usually drop off around 7-8pm, we start at 10pm). One truck was mostly for me - I worked paper last night. 26 pallets of toilet paper and paper towels. About a pallet leftover. Plus 3 pallets of napkins, garbage bags, ziplock bags, foils, etc. Okay, yeah, it's all light bulky poo poo aside from those 3 pallets, but that's still a LOT of poo poo to work through, and I have to basically rock climb the toilet paper shelving to face everything (we have a rolling ladder, but the wheels are jacked on it; I don't trust it not to tip over again, so I pull the rolling ladder out and park it nearby while I mountain goat up into the shelving by hand). The overnight lead was shocked that I only asked for help with one small section; that many pallets is normally a 2-3 person job. All of us clocked out +/- 15 minutes of our scheduled ending time. Not bad, especially given how late everything showed up. Patting myself on the back with a very sore arm/hand, because I'm too drat old and out of shape to pull the mountain goat poo poo with one hand. But it shut up the new guy who's always bitching about how everyone is "so old and slow" (yes, many of us have gone to HR about him... they're waiting for him to be stupid in front of a manager or someone to get a recording). He started to say "how are you going to front that, there's no way you can ge" *jumps up, lifts self with one hand, has one entire shelf faced before he can finish sentence, lift up onto next shelf, finish about the time he finishes saying "t up there wihat the gently caress?" I'm literally double his age, and I'm one of the youngest on overnights.  (I also do indoor rock climbing off and on, so. you know. there's that)

STR posted:You're thinking of the Chevy Volt, where the engine works solely as a generator. On the Prius, the engine does drive the wheels, in tandem with the electric motors. This is true for most hybrids. The Volt can drive the wheels directly with the gas engine. I think the BMW i3 REX might be one of the few where the fossil fuel engine is considered an APU.

I think that's just the second-generation Volt, the first-gen is definitely an electric car with a range extender. e: nm, seems like the first gen is too but GM is playing semantic games about it. quote:There is no "direct" mechanical linkage between the Volt's gas engine and the wheels, rather there is an indirect linkage that is accomplished by meshing the power output of the engine with the power output of one of the other two electric motors.

Just spent 14 minutes on the phone, 5 pending returns and yes they show they have all been there for 2+ weeks but she could only issue one refund because the others weren't processed. Pissing me off. This is$150 total I've spent $3k+ this month for work stuff just refund me like the old days.

Amazon refunds are hit and miss it seems. I have had stuff arrive in the padded envelopes that were never sealed so arrived empty. Not had issues with replacements or refunds but they did kill price matching when they reduce the price on something after you order it but before it arrived.

Two wisdom teeth extracted ~2.5 hours ago. Bring on the happy pain pills and chill weekend. Going to melt into the couch watching movies and playing video games. Finally broke down and bought a new (refurb) gaming laptop after gaming on school or work supplies laptops for the past 15 years. What a difference it makes. This will replace the 5-6 year old Dell laptop as well as my simulator. Lenovo Legion Y545. yes I know gaming laptops are stupid but for my use and travel, if it's ever safe again, it works great.

Had a crown build up today, not quite wisdom teeth but yeah dental work sucks. Gaming laptops are a better idea now than a few years back since they have some decent power. I am looking to replace my 5 year old desk top with one as long as I can get enough monitor outputs.

Gaming laptops have less sacrifices since the 10 series Nvidia cards came out. Depending on the exact version of the card they're 80-95% of the performance of the desktop. If you don't game on them unplugged they can get something resembling battery life, too.

I have a gaming laptop with an i7 Broadwell and 970M in it. While it's obviously not as powerful as my desktop 1080ti, it's still shockingly good with 1080p. It's got to be 5 years old now and still has tons of life for when I'm on the road.

Goddamn it this is gonna be a titanic mess and all that diesel in the exhuast...... this is NOT good. But on the positive side, filling a H6 with 30 litres of diesel does in fact unlock the rings and let them set again.

New alternator fixed my problem! No need for the dealer dude with the Tech2 to clear anything so saved a few hundred there... Also replaced the hatch struts while in the back charging the battery. A few celebratory beers whist driving ensues... https://i.imgur.com/jEDjodm.mp4

We got up on a rooftop in brooklyn with my wife's coworkers and watched fireworks going up all around us. It was pretty chill. Oh yeah, I did a 3 hour bike ride this morning. 25-ish miles, circumnavigating Manhattan north of 30th st. That's an aggressive distance for me, so I basically snoozed all afternoon while my legs ached. Safety Dance fucked around with this message at 04:13 on Jul 5, 2020 |
