Shit, I have an inactive wow account with a character who got server first sulfuras before achievements existed in the game. How much do you think it could go for?

I feel like Smith at least tried while he had his hands tied by the people who were supposed to make his job easier.
History will not be kind to any of them though, circumstances be damned. I hope at least some of them have to live with the consequences of their own actions, but I feel very sorry indeed for the millions who had no hand in the decision.

Almost any and all "tracking information" is fictitious. Many, many companies use estimates and present those as facts. Some are a lot more egregious about it than others. In my neck of the woods, I've noticed that PostNL's tracking info is often made up whole cloth, telling you your package will be with you tomorrow while it hasn't even entered the country yet, much less cleared customs.
Something tells me the people of Taiwan also better be prepared for the coming 4 years. Trump is liable to just hand it over to china on a whim.
