Id assume they dont push it any more than they do because most people want their orders asap. Member the big selling point of prime originally was free 2 day shipping.

Lot of people could do with being told they can't get their new vibrator immediately.

I realise I'm way late with this but tomato juice works miracles for washing a dog that got sprayed by a skunk. Just dump a couple of large cans on em, work it in the hair then give it a regular wash.
Source : I used to have a dog that loved to get in fights with skunks and porcupines.

In a long boring conference call on MS Teams. I can't watch YouTube because when Teams audio is going to the headset, that is the only audio that goes through.
Edit: nm, figured it out. The speaker icon on task bar will have two versions of your headset. One is Teams only audio, the other is all system audio. All system will have both Teams and YouTube
Edit2: now I'm rustled that I didn't find this out for ages

Can't wait till the inevitable meeting where you mix the audios and everyone else hears the porn you're playing.
Oh sorry "youtube" video. *wink*wink*nudge*nudge*
I'm a dinosaur. I still have 2 computers. If I was still playing MMOs, I guarantee I'd be crafting or questing during all meetings.

Bought Mint Mobile unlimited monthly data plan.
first month goes fine, second month my service has suddenly slowed down.
Eventually come to find out that if you go over 35 gb a month you get throttled. So technically it’s “unlimited,” but the same thing happens when you purchase their 5, 10 and 15 gb plans. So those should all be advertised as unlimited as well right?
I dont know why it can’t just be called a 35gb plan.
but any any rate, I’ll just have to be more careful in the future
buuuuuuuuut…
when I check to see my monthly data usages to make sure I don’t go over….the meter just says unlimited….
….because if there were a meter….that would remind you your plan isn’t unlimited….

When I was working from home during the lockdowns I rarely activated video during meetings and used to maximize my time with headphones and:
(1) working out
(2) playing video games on second computer or tablet
(3) once I deconstructed, moved, and reconstructed a queen sized bed
(4) actual valuable work on second computer
I would occasionally chip in with a comment or question just to let everyone know I was paying attention.
I fucking hate meetings, specifically the bureaucratic ones that accomplish nothing. So wasteful. I would have one a week with my group to go over important shit from last week and the important shit to get done this week. Otherwise come see me directly.
I am rustled by meetings. And bureaucrats.

To the best of my knowledge all cell phone plans are like this now. With my carrier, I got true unlimited for a lot longer than most because I stayed on the more expensive legacy plan for years. Then eventually I found out the legacy plan was being throttled too so I switched and saved money. I looked at all the major carriers at the time and they were all doing the same thing.
Where do you check? On the website, on an app or on the phone's settings? The data usage in the phone's settings should give you a true amount. It's just shitty design if the website and app don't give it to you. I see everyone's usage on my bill every month and I can log into the website and see it for previous months.

I check through the app itself. Funny enough though, I went to check today, and this was waiting for me:
Glad to see I can monitor data again, but like I said, a meter reminds you your plan isn’t truly unlimited

Meetings are useless and terrible.
Zoom meetings are 10x worse.
Zoom meetings where every fucking person but me is wearing a mask (solo, alone in their offices): WHY THE ACTUAL FUCK ARE WE DOING A VIDEO CALL IF YOU ARE COVERING YOUR FUCKING FACE

Asking a very specific question and getting a non response back.
"What time do you get back from lunch?"
"I usually dont go to lunch until around 1pm"

Get a written quote.
Not always dishonest. I work as an apprentice plumber. Something ALWAYS goes wrong or there is more to the problem than we thought. Always.
Always takes more time and material.

And each update breaks something. This time around, messenger keeps opening itself whenever it wants while using other apps and it then closes those apps: YouTube, Google Maps, Pandora, etc. Infuriating.

I had my backup of my backup credit card number stolen today. Why does that rustle me?
I've literally used it once in months and months. I have no clue how they could have possibly got the info. Luckily it's the $300 limit one I keep around for internet purchases so the harm is small. The big upside, going through the other cards I found out my biggest one was also stolen but the only purchase was a cheap ass glam bag. Sounds like mostly upside right?
I found out minutes before leaving on a hunting trip. Now all my cards are burned. Fuck. Lesson learned, keep some sort of cash card with a grand or two on it in a drawer somewhere.

One of the advantages to being broke... I have nothing to steal.
