We got very lucky in SE Indiana. Drive which is normally an hour (we went to in laws house) was 1.5.
Clear skies the entire time and a beautiful day in the mid 70s.
My parents flew in south TX thinking they would outsmart the weather and ended up being covered in clouds.
That looks super cool. What is an oxbow lake?
This is your mom and you are not my baby.
It depends on the company for sure. I’ve noticed a much better delivery time for most things I order nowadays through other companies. 5-7 years ago it would take at least a week for pretty anything to show up. Now most items are 2-3 days.
Fully agree though, it certainly depends on where you live.
Like others have said, they don’t guarantee two days shipping however. Their thing now is if you spend $x per order or pay more, even if you have prime, they’ll overnight it (location dependent).
I live a 20 minute drive from several large amazon warehouses and one of their largest air hubs. When two day shipping was guaranteed, we’d often get most items the next day since it goes out almost immediately and we’re very close. We noticed the last few years most deliveries take two days at least with many being delayed to 3 or 4.
Finding prime less and less of a value I cancelled at the beginning of this month as I was set to auto renew. We’ve ordered two things since. Both items we have received in the past in 1-2 days. Now they take 5-7 days for free shopping, which is fine mind you, but it shows me that rather than shipping the item they are intentionally holding back the order from being picked from the warehouse to create the delay.
Rather than prime adding value, it’s simply providing the regular service, while they intentionally give non-prime members a manufactured worse service to entice them to pay.
Nothing else on prime is worthwhile. Thursday night football sucks and when I do want to watch it if my team is playing I’ll just pirate it. Same goes for anything on prime like The Boys will just get added to the Plex server.
Haha I have never heard of this place. What am I missing?
Is it just me or does that ski lift look tilted like it’s going to slip down the mountain?
Haha. Yeah you’re like a lot of my neighbors. Fill your garage with shit you don’t need so it looks tacky as fuck and park your car in the street to make sure you’re in other people’s way.
One morning around 2014 I got up early, scrapped the ice off my windshield, ran the defrost so I could see clearly out of the window (this was not the norm for me back then) and promptly slid down a 2-3 ft hill (I’m using hill VERY loosely here) less than 200 yards from my front door into a small fence going like maybe 2 miles per hour because the apartment complex hadn’t had the parking lot salted the night before or plowed that morning. Still got to work on time though, though the body shop bill was about $350 for the repairs.
For YEARS my dream was to own a home mainly for the garage so I’d never have to scape my windshield again.
Oh monster was the worst! I signed up well over 10 years ago and had unsubscribed several times over multiple months once I found a job. They still would send emails 5 days a week. I blocked them and will never ever use them again because of their awful spam. If anyone’s curious, I did not find the job through monster.
I’ve refused to hook my TV up to the internet. Massive bloatware and spyware machine. I bought high end. Samsung 70" top of the line last year. But everything I watch is though a jailbroken 4k firestick or straight up on disc.
It’s a pain in the ass to switch inputs. THERES NO INPUT BUTTON. It wants to choose FOR ME what input I’m using based off the most recent input. Lick my balls. I’ll switch from the first stick to the Xbox but if the fire stick is still streaming I’ll choose the Xbox and it’ll switch back to the firestick. Fuck you. I can’t even imagine if I let that thing connect to the internet. It’d probably want a huge update, send everything I watch back to hq, and then try to show me ads. Fuck you Koreans.
It’s a great tv. Top of the line picture quality. But it’s about as good as it gets in this age. If I was more tech savvy I could probably make it better but I’m not.
Yeah it really varies. I paid over $5 gallon when I was in Vegas last month topping off the rental.
Prices in my area were pushing $4 per gallon a few weeks ago. Most stations in the area are now below $3. I saw $2.89 yesterday.
I try to patronize my local game shops as much as I can. I’m not into card or board games which limits where I go but I’m lucky enough to have a few local game stores that sell a lot of retro games for fair prices.
Of course with new games (I still like to buy physical quite often) I generally have to buy from the big stores but I make it a point to avoid gamestop.
Return that immediately. I worked for gamestop for about 6 years from 11-16. It was a horribly run company that should be a relic of the past like circuit city and blockbuster. Executive management would rather make tiny profits than make pro-consumer changes that would draw in gamers (things like tournaments were actively discouraged).
I really hated that gamestop became a meme stock. It meant executive made a lot of money from no effort on their own. I would have much rather seen their shares go to zero and then get bought for pennies on the dollar, leaving the top brass on their ass.
My HVAC system does just this. It just reverses in the winter.
My wife and I stayed outside of Agios Georgios this May. Absolutely beautiful. Some of the most down to Earth, nicest people on the planet. The raki is also a huge perk.
I am the liquor, Randy.
