Goober Peas posted:Hooboy, Wal-Mart chat. I hate Wal-Mart, and you guys caught me on the night I tried to go to Wal-Mart for the first time in 3 years. I don't know how they stay in business - hateful customers and employees, empty shelves, 2 registers open and 20+ people in line. I don't know how people function in areas where Wal-Mart is their only local shopping choice. I might just choose to stave to death and resort to using junkmail as toilet paper. Yeah, I went to Walmart a few weeks ago; our TV died and they happened to have a better price on one we wanted, and was actually in stock. Between being ignored when I got there to pick it up and then being treated like I was trying to shoplift a TV when I was leaving (accompanied by an employee pushing the TV on a cart)... gently caress that place, forever.

A lot of music programs are using piano as a sort of weed-out technique. "Oh, you want to play percussion? You need to have 2 years of piano under your belt first. Why not play... trumpet instead? No piano required!"

Bean posted:... what? Some programs like percussionists to study a little bit of piano to make them better marimba players, but it's not a weed out technique. I know of at least a few elementary schools back home that require 2 years of piano if you want to play percussion. Not exactly something a 2nd grader is going to think about. It's really lovely. Keep in mind these are small towns in southern Michigan.

Yawgmoth posted:I think we can all agree that no matter what your region has in terms of USP/Fedex/USPS quality, DHL is far and away your worst option. Every single time they deliver something here, it's "repackaged" in a hideous frankenbox made of other boxes that were only ripped a couple times, about 15 yards of their lovely packing tape, and last week's coupon section. And no matter what they'll try to just drop it and run, even if you specify "signature required". Holy poo poo yes. The store I used to order scrubs from used DHL for shipping, and those mother fuckers must have been driving by and just tossing the packages at my house, because every one of them wound up in the middle of the front yard. Often in the middle of a puddle if it had rained recently.

GPTribefan posted:the vast majority of people who get meds through mail order can’t stand it and only do so because they’re forced to. Nope. The vast majority of the patients I see like mail order. They get a 90 day supply, it's slightly cheaper, and it comes to their front door. The only ones that don't like it are the ones who wait until they've got a 2 day supply left before requesting a refill.

Brookstone files for bankruptcy #2 in like 4 or 5 years. https://www.cnbc.com/2018/08/02/brookstone-files-for-bankruptcy-to-shutter-100-stores-in-malls.html I'm surprised they lasted this long - I remember the stores were always busy, but I'll be damned if I can remember anybody actually buying anything.

Ghost Leviathan posted:Came up before, but even well before corona, business attire stores were dying because basically no one buys a suit for over $100 or under $5000 any more. I don't feel too bad about this, but I'll admit that, to me, there's nothing a man can wear that looks as sharp as a nicely tailored suit. I am also "old and stupid" per my son.

I think I posted this in a GBS thread, but my family has a pretty reasonable solution: public auction for everything. You want it, buy it. There are a very few things that any of us get outside that, and it's generally something small and personal - for example, I got my grandpa's coffee mug and the small thermometer/barometer that I used to goggle over as a kid. Everything else goes to public auction, nobody gets butthurt about who got what, etc. My wife and I cleaned out all the bullshit we got from our wedding - crystal, dishware, all of it, donated it, and bought stuff we like better. If we still have it when we croak my son can take a bat to it if he wants, who cares. In retrospect all that formal poo poo is so stupid.

Segmentation Fox posted:Likewise. I think I've been on Fi for like 5 years now? Sure the phone selection is a bit limited if you want all the features but it's not like they force you to get the super premium flagship phones. Same, about 3 years for us since ditching lovely ATT. There have only been a couple of places with poor reception, and those are in rural Michigan. I'll hang on to Fi until they shut down or service gets crappy - for the price, the service has been great.

I just don't get the reasoning behind that at all. I bought a product, I can do what I want with it, including showing it to other people. Drum Workshop wouldn't sue me for playing their drums on a youtube channel, and I sure as poo poo wouldn't pay them so I could.

Haven't messed with an ATV in awhile, but we use Smart Youtube (plus our own Pi-Hole) on the Shield and it works perfectly. I need to get a Pi-Hole kit. It's easy enough to block ads per device for the most part, but it'd be nice to just have something that plugs in and kills them all house-wide.
