I used to list things rounded up a bit just for that. If I list something for $500 then I likely would take $400 for it. But when someone walks up to my house loads the thing in their truck and then knocks on my door and tries to force a $20 into my hand to buy the thing… Yeah fuck that.

No that is what you are missing, there is a bunch of people who do nothing but gaslight to get things for next to nothing then resell later.

For example I sold a car last year for $1500, I could have maybe got more but eh that was fine. I know what the market price is more or less but I when I listed it I got about 50 offers under $100, keep in mind I could scrap it for $300.

This is a scam that has come up from online listing, these people put bullshit offers in across many many listings and some even try to threaten and trick.

Ha!!! The issue is that people are not willing to pay the price that matches demand. You could list it for 20% of the going rate and still have people offer you pennies. This negging method has become a side hussle.

The last 3 things I sold online all got sold in a day for roughly what I asked for, but for every good offer there are at least 10 of these scams. Its why I now use a local auction to dump unused stuff, I don’t need the threats and bullshit.

The solution to this mess is not simple, but it will not be to hide things that may offend people, to stick heads into sand or control speech.

The very idea that someone needs to follow a “non-offensive” guide in political commentary is very much a part of how the us is in the mess it is.

Manitoba remains my least favored province. But the snakes are cool at least.

9? maybe in a few months…

Also sunk cost and all that. After all if they admit they are wrong on this what else could they be wrong about? Nope better to just keep “winning”

I have a store in a small town that ONLY communicates though the book of faces. It is frustrating to say the least, but it seems like people on facebook assume that everyone is on facebook and the things on facebook are reflective of reality (they are not).

Try sleeping just north of them.

(edit: also the “launch codes” for most of the time they existed where just set to all zeros.)

Bold of you to think I have any expectations of Microsoft to not suck. I will wait until 9 comes out before I put another windows OS on my machines. Since why after all this, would anyone trust a software company to do anything well that can not count to 10?

When windows 9 comes out it will all work again.

That is not a bread box, more of a travel bread case. I use one for eggs and bread stuff when camping as well. But this… thing is a counter bound thing that is heavy and artsy.

The box being “good” is wild. That is where bread goes stale unseen and uneaten. Its gotta be near the top of pointless kitchen things that only people with more money then sense have.

Like a plague on places to eat these days. The drive in getting served over people in the restaurant was always bad but now it is a new sort of hell with the lobby filled up with dashers and the like all butting in front and such.

Real sad part is talking to a few of the non chain places, it seems like you don’t really get a say about if you want to use ubereats/doordash/skip etc. they just kinda list your place and then drivers start showing up and unless you want to fight each one it becomes easier to just go along with it. Only place I know of that made a fight out of it was a pizza place (with their own delivery drivers), it was a mess. They even had a large sign on the way in that they will at no time give an order to any delivery app service. But it was was like they could not read and just plowed in anyway, butting in line and doing the yell the order number thing out they do. Last I checked they started trespassing people and are trying to sue skip/doordash/uber.

Sad to say gyros in my area are $16 to $20 bucks. Still since McDonalds is the same price I do eat the overpriced wraps on occasion.

If you want a lot of fun at the range, blackpowder is a riot.

Bad news on the religious beliefs of deer…

Dust? (but really its not Linux or windows anyway)

That’s gotta be one hell of a moist machine salesman. It would be like trying to sell me a dehumidifier.

They are still around here where I live but they are kinda needed since its dry here (under 20% mostly). Without them the produce desicates. But in moist places? Why?
