Dear Amazon,
Shipping label created ≠ Order shipped
Order shipped means the order is actually in a box with a label affixed and in a truck moving from one place to another.
That is infinitely more true when FedEx is the shipping company.
Thank You,
The rest of humanity.

It's not just Amazon...
Awesome amazing concert coming up, the outlaw music tour with Billy strings, Willy, Bob Dylan, and I don't care who else but a bunch of groups I actually like. Got approval to buy tickets because it's the weekend before our anniversary.
I figured it would be pricey. $80 a seat isn't terrible. But the Ticketmaster bullE36 M3 fees almost double the price and make it undoable after factoring in the 2 night hotel stay, gas, tolls, and paying for meals.

An eBay seller did that to me recently. Purchased mid day on a Wednesday, shipping label created on Friday. Thereby marked "shipped" It wasn't dropped off to a post office until the following Thursday.

This seems to be SOP for about half of the vendors that I have ordered from over the last couple years. Honestly, Amazon seems to be better than most.

Well, if you're talking about the crashing all the time, I still get that several times a week/day. Frequency has steadily increased for the last 3 versions IMO. I'm on 2024 sp5.0.
He was saying it used all the resources, and I was offering a counterpoint.
If you were to look at me, you would think I am at work.
You are wrong. I am seething at the ineptitude of the DMV, while waiting "in line" for Hoop-Tay's title transfer. At 1140 I was #27 in line. Now I am #20.
Someone queue up the Primus.
Was out walking just before dawn in my suburban (grid streets) neighborhood. While I am crossing the street in front of my house (4 way stop, on the crosswalk) my neighbor from 3 doors down on the other side of the street backs out of his driveway, comes down the street, hesitates at the intersection (again, 4 way stop) and cuts the corner close while making a left hand turn, nearly flattening me before stopping. I glare at him as he rolls down his window admonishing me "You should put on some reflectors!"
I won't repeat what I said to him, but use your imagination. I was wearing an open flannel over a yellow shirt, and our corner has an overhead light like you would find on a main thoroughfare in the city.
This was over a week ago and I'm still steamed.
In reply to Mr_Asa :
Oof, which location?
The one that was closest to me, the N Falkenburg location, was awesome. Organized, efficient and friendly.
However, the location by the Trop, was horrible. I had to meet the buyer of my Kia at that one. It was chaos; poorly organized, crowded and the clerk was pissy. We actually had to go back twice because the buyers insurance policy on the car didn't start until the next day. The clerk refused to let him register it "since it didn't have insurance on it". I took off a day of work for that.

Falkenburg, yup.
I heard rumblings that the system was down when I got there. At #11 now so I might head back up there.
If your unleashed German Shepherd is standing in the middle of the other lane, the one that you are not blocking, and you hit my truck with a crowbar as I am attempting (at about 3mph) to not run over the stupidest dog I've ever encountered, be glad I hadn't had a slightly worse day. Silverado in reverse trumps crowbar all day long.
In reply to Pete. (l33t FS) :
Down under the first of the obviously fast Holdens, the Torana XU1, had a similar problem. I recall an article several years after their release that, statistically, every one made had been stolen 2.something times ...
I looked to buy a three year old one that had in excess of 20 owners in the mid 70's and the papers read like a who's who of NZ Motor racing.
Russian Warship, Go Berkeley Yourself said:...cuts the corner close while making a left hand turn...
This irritates me to no end. It's a pandemic in Pittsburgh. Everyone cuts their left turns. If I'm pulling up to a stop sign, I pull to white line at the stop sign. Very often, a driver making their left towards me completely comes into my lane almost taking my nose off. And they always give me the eat E36 M3 look like I did something wrong.
I learned how to square left turns on day 1 of Driver's Ed. Basic driving skills are lost on the majority of the population unfortunately.

I have a theory. Not just that most drivers have no clue, although the theory stems from that.
Many times, I will see a car make a cut left turn when they are trying to beat oncoming traffic. Apparently by turning sooner, the cross street will be closer.
It is not.

Oh goodie.
He signed the title. Did not put the amount on it.
He put the amount on the bill of sale, he did not sign it.
DMV needs both on one document.
Paranoia?
I watch Youtube on my firestick. I do not sign in, because reasons, rational or not. Last night, everything was in Portugese, and I could not de-select it.
"Yes, sir, if you allow us to data mine you more efficiently, and pay us to delete the commercials, your video will be in English again." Or maybe not, I don't know. All I know for sure is that Grady from Practical Engineering and Eric O. from South Main Auto are not nearly as entertaining in Portugese.
For once, a fairly minor rant.
For pretty much the entire time that we've been together, The Dancer has made me a custom birthday cake for my birthday and for almost that long (I think it started after we got married) I have made her one as well. Neither of us are remotely professional bakers, cake artists, or anything of the like (she's closer, being more traditionally artistic than I am) but we've made some pretty fun and funny cakes over the years (she still holds the record IMO for the best one- a cake inspired by the Netflix show 'Nailed It!' which was an absolute masterpiece). Her birthday is coming up very shortly- and unfortunately due to a very limited availability of dates at the theater her nonprofit's winter show is taking place over when her birthday is. And as a result, we've both really busy and when I asked her about what kind of cake she wanted (flavors are the only input the recipient gets) she said that we were going to be too busy and stressed and she didn't want me to worry about it.
But I really don't want to break this tradition, and I have a pretty good idea for what to do for the cake this year- but have NO idea when the heck I'll be able to make it since while we do have time when we're not working on things because it's a show week she doesn't have her usual classes and outreach sessions to run- and thus is at home pretty any time we're not at the theater for things with the show. I'm hoping that I'll be able to get her Mom to get her out of the house for a couple of hours between the morning and evening shows in a couple of days, but am not fully confident that I'll be able to make that happen.

Got a 30 day temp tag.
Was doing storm prep tonight, mostly filling a few buckets with water in case we lose power with the ice storm looming tomorrow.
I noticed that the well pump seemed to by cycling a lot for a five gallon bucket, so I checked the well tank and drained it. Two year old tank (nominally 50 gallons) goes from full pressure to no water coming out the drain valve in about a gallon. That'll be the reason for the pump cycling then.
Of course the tank has a one year warranty. berkeley.
Time to call the plumber tomorrow, see what they have to say. Not expecting a lot of goodwill from them, but it won't hurt to ask given how much money I spent with them over the last few years. Either way, I probably want this looked at and fixed ASAP before it burns out the well pump.
It's days like these when I'm wondering which deity I pissed off this time around.
Not seeing your well set up... but if you have a little Schrader valve on the inlet side , if its clogged you won't be getting the air in the tank you need with each cycle.

There is some sort of valve thing on the inlet side that is supposed to draw air in for the iron separator, is that the one you are referring to or am I looking for something else?
