At least you can uncheck "ask me every time"

The last time Amazon Prime Shipping actually took 2 days for me was pre-COVID. Now, it says 7 days but last time I ordered, it took 9 days.

Last time I bought from AliExpress, it took... 9 days. It just depends on where you're shipping from and the available shipping options. They're advertising free 12-day shipping and I've had multiple instances of items arriving early.

I've effectively stopped shopping on Amazon. Almost everything is available by another, smaller website that has way faster shipping since Prime Shipping is a complete farce now.

Even the weird niche stuff can be found somewhere like Walmart. AliExpress, too. Which, at the rate Amazon is going, will soon have faster ship times too.

He is no doubt going to try spinning this into a talking point for his election campaign. The same old "they're only punishing me because they're crooked demonrats" and all that shit

Except Chromium can still access the Chrome extension store. The VSCode extension store is not included with the OSS version, which seriously hampers the usefulness of the app.

The better question is: do they care?

It's pretty obvious they don't

I was like "oh yeah, I kinda remember that" until my brain STARTED SINGING ALONG WITH THE FUCKING SONG.

I caught a lot of flak for buying my Black and Decker Matrix set but it's been very solid for me for a few years. Granted, I only use my tools a couple of time a month on average. But it sure is handy to have a drill that's also an impact driver and also an air compressor and uses the same batteries as my weed whacker and leaf blower.

I made sure not to use my real name this time. I had too much karma when I realized how dumb a move that was.

How many people had heard of Bending Spoons before they bought Evernote? They're a software company but I'd never heard of any of their apps before, either.
