Would they, though? Wouldn't they just write it off? I mean, I have no idea what it costs to ship a vehicle from the middle east, but if it involves cargo ships and freight trains, would they bother? Has he got to arrange and pay for it himself and get reimbursed? Just buy a new car. Trying to get it back at this point is over the top. Maybe don't buy a douchemobile next time.

Who does he expect is going to pay to ship it back to him?

Commas exist for a reason...

Not have any expectations about excelling in my career, nor any expectations about having support in serving the public, although that is entirely what we do.

Paywalled.

Probably the best way would be eliminating reliance on cars and creating walkable neighborhoods with stores, restaurants, and services within walking distance, in the US anyway. Did people ever, throughout human history, just stand around the house?

Right beneath the main listing, under "Frequently bought together" it was shown with the $9 price instead of $20. Then, over in the right column, next to the main the listing, underneath the "add to cart button," "add to lists" button and "X available from other sellers" (at the same price) was something like "one available at $9 from (whoever the seller is). I could have added it to my cart from there, but went and searched their storefront, 'cause I wanted to give you the direct link to the product.

Here. $9 for a box of 80, extra strong, and in stock.

If you doubt the purchasing info would be that great, I doubt you've been to a library with trained librarians.

Where can a Boomer catch up on current computer/software technology? What are the most reliable ones now? Do I need a desktop for CAD? Pros and cons of operating systems (and where do I find them?) Browsers ditto? Where do I find answers that aren’t just product marketing?

The library is where OP can find answers that aren't just product marketing, to all the above questions, including catching up on technology, and there's absolutely no reason he needs to physically be in the building to find them. However, if he's in my city, and can get to the branch, we have workstations created in partnership with Easterseals that likely have many of the accessibility technologies and tools he's used to using at home as a person who is paralyzed.

No, Indiana.

The library.

I came into this thread expecting to see toilets all the way down.

You can fax at your local public library. It was only about six months ago that my state's social services dept. stopped requiring faxes.

Fucking UNIONIZE.

No, that's what I'm saying. Those turning 60 this year are not Boomers. They are the generation that came between Boomers and GenX. Yeah, even this Wikipedia article lumps them in with Boomers, but they weren't considered Boomers as they were coming of age: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Generation_Jones They shouldn't be now, either. Ask any of them if they consider themselves Boomers.

"Decided." I wonder how much deliberating they actually had to do, or if they immediately just turned around and said fuck that shit.
