Looks like you're using ups. Try a 3rd party tracker. (Sorry i can't remember the name of one - its been years since I had something shipped from out of country.)
At least with a brick and mortar store you actually know what you're getting*
*to a degree. You still won't know how well it will actually hold up in the real world - but you can at least get an idea of it's construction (Materials/stitching and so on) that you don't/can't get via an online shop (especially with all the bogus reviews nowadays)
"The reason that the rich were so rich, Vimes reasoned, was because they managed to spend less money.
Take boots, for example. He earned thirty-eight dollars a month plus allowances. A really good pair of leather boots cost fifty dollars. But an affordable pair of boots, which were sort of OK for a season or two and then leaked like hell when the cardboard gave out, cost about ten dollars. Those were the kind of boots Vimes always bought, and wore until the soles were so thin that he could tell where he was in Ankh-Morpork on a foggy night by the feel of the cobbles.
But the thing was that good boots lasted for years and years. A man who could afford fifty dollars had a pair of boots that'd still be keeping his feet dry in ten years' time, while the poor man who could only afford cheap boots would have spent a hundred dollars on boots in the same time and would still have wet feet."
Harry's Law: working on season 2 now - I much prefer season 1 despite it's "roughness". 2 isn't bad - it just doesn't quite have the charm of season 1.
Started re-watching Castle because I wanted some Nathan Fillion and I dropped The Rookie seasons ago because I hated what it was turning into.
I wish they would let us do custom words/ sentences.
There's a few words (I cant think of them now) that i tried that even after gliding multiple times I couldn't even get the correct word in suggestions.
I would love being able to type them in and then glide them to train.
Its kind of already happening here - just for different reasons.
There is very little engagement on Lemmy besides in a few communities. What little engagement there is - is driven by a few users.
Even broad conversion topics get very little engagement.
I get not everyone wants to be a topic "starter" (i know I don't), but they can't even bother to either:
1: just post a tiny comment (look at "what are you watching" in the movies / TV subs on piefed.Social; seems like a real easy topic for anyone to engage in and yet there's only ever like 10 posts and zero upvotes)
2: upvote topics or posts; While the points don't matter - they still show and promote engagement.
