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.

All hail lil onion.

That looks super cool. What is an oxbow lake?

Nice try 9 out of 10 dentists. /s

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.

Just cancelled my prime subscription today. It was set to renew on Friday. I’ve been with prime for close to 10 years.

I don’t see any value. The price has nearly doubled since originally signing up. The free two day shipping was nice but more and more 2 days is 3-4 and I can get free shipping anyway on any order over $35 without prime so I’ll just build up my cart and be patient or order from another place.

The video content was nice but they’re fucking joking if they think I’m going to watch ads or pay $3 more per month to not have ads. I can easily pirate most content including live sports and they’re making it far less convenient to be part of their ecosystem.

I get my books from the library and store my photos locally.

The literal only downside i see is my buddy won’t get his twitch prime subscription from me every month so I guess I’m costing him like $2/month but he’s got several hundred so he’ll do without.

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?

In other news, Nigerian cinemas go bankrupt.

Interesting. I hadn’t seen that. Dude looked like he was on some kind of upper but the supercut didn’t do him any favors.

That’s really cool. I already foresee Americans intentionally breaking them and finding ways for people to get their phones stuck in there to be assholes and for internet likes.

Craigslist for basic stuff is pretty chill these days. List as local pick up only, ignore anyone asking you to ship it or doing anything weird, and arrange a local pick up in a police station parking lot or in the middle of the day at the gas station of your local mega-grocery chain. 60% of the time, it works every time. I give a lot of my old crap to goodwill and may occasionally sell something on eBay but that’s rare, like mr. clean with hair.

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.

And now my watch has ended.

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.

Human. After all.

Reddit: I’ve done nothing wrong, ever, in my life.

I’ve had a few drivers do this in the US and it has always been a huge cost savings. Uber gives a smaller and smaller cut the the drivers from what I’m hearing. I miss the early days when rides were cheap, driver kept the lions share of the fare and no one was expected to tip.

I want to know why they were using Halo 3 as a benchmark in 2015. Reach, 4, and MCC were out by then with 5 coming soon. Not disputing the legitimacy of Halo 3, 2nd best Halo imo after 2, but add odd choice.
