I have no plan to pay it currently... see if anything comes of it. Would be interested to know if anyone else has ignored fees from them

Yes, the original tickets were from Ticketmaster and refunded. But StubHub (separate selling site) still want a cut even though I obviously can no longer sell the tickets, if that makes sense? Which is ridiculous because obviously it's not my fault the concert was cancelled.

When Amazon starts a garbage collection division "Amazon Waste & Dispose" we'll know there's a conspiracy!

The best part was that I just opened the package, took out the item, and left the envelop there. Efficient recycling!

Fortunately remote enough not to have to worry about porch pirates. But maybe that's what the driver was thinking

Where is the cancel button?
That's so true. Well before the 20s is up I'm already making edits to the code to preempt the imminent runtime error then recompile and continue the cycle...

So sad when it happens
But think of all the programs that don't even exist on Windows:)

That's the thing, I'm always hesitant to give negative feedback on the delivery given I know it's more than likely that the driver is both overworked and poorly paid.

I expect that I 1. underestimate the forces of nature and 2. overestimate the quality of British manufacturing

Asking a Linux user to recommend a printer
I don't know, my Brother printed definitely has DRM/lock-in toner cartridges. And if only one of them gets too low the whole thing stops working. Still can't get double sided to work reliably
So I call bs on their fandom

Yes, all weakened and then blown over in a recent storm. Corrosion from sea-salt in the air maybe? There are tens of them about, which does not seem normal

Haha, astute observation. It's communal. Someone will have to squash it all down before long!

Maybe I need to erase the word "bin" from all delivery instructions. Too suggestive perhaps

The longer I look, the more confused I get. What is this marketing?

Yup a Windows update messing with the bootloader before gracefully failing (blue screen) was the nudge for me to remove it once and for all

I had this setup but during a reinstall/update Windows still destroyed Grub. You have been warned!

unplug your primary ssd
A worrying thing is I think Windows can even muck with (your Linux) bootloader files during updates i e. after you have reconnected your primary ssd.

This makes sense, maybe I should remove my note (to leave under shelter by the bins) entirely
