There are cases where you can order products from Amazon with less “packing” material. I forget what they call that but I’ve gotten items that have very little packaging beyond the box it was shipped in. In once case the shipping label was slapped on the box the product came in, no additional box used.

I see a couple issues with this. First, if I order different items that have to be delivered to different brick and mortar stores then I have to make either multiple trips (if they don’t come on the same day) or I have to drive to multiple places on the same day. Amazon can ship all those items in one box to my house.
Do you have any response or are you to fucking stupid to offer any actual debate?
That’s kind of the point though. You think they are trustworthy but they are not. There’s no basis to believe a charity organization will be any more or less trustworthy than a private equity firm. We can check on the big charities as there is a means of finding out where their money goes but what about all the small…
Has anything bad happened with a non-profit charity? They always operate above board and without reproach, right?
+1 to that. I have a couple of .org domains for exactly the reason you state. I don’t want anyone squatting on my primary domain with .org.
I’m sure it’s a money thing. If we can extend the story we can generate more income. The start up cost of a show must be high and adding a second season is probably less expensive overall. For some shows this is OK. For Carrie? Doesn’t seem like a good idea.
Has anyone had good experience with Chrome Remote Desktop? I tried it but it seems like you need someone to start up Chrome on the remote end before you can use it. I don’t want to have Chrome always running on the remote machine so we used Team Viewer instead.
Thank you for that. Under the Dome had so much promise and they totally f’d it up. There’s no reason these shows have to run 3 and 4 seasons. Give me one good story over one season and I’m good.
There is a Lowes though it’s a bit farther away. We used Lowes some years ago when we did a house remodel and they were OK, nothing really bad although they screwed up the carpet order, installed it and had to come back uninstall and reinstall. The manager tried to get me to keep the wrong carpet, and I’m like, dude I…
I think there will always be a demand for certain items to be sourced locally, if for no other reason than needing the item immediately (parts to repair leaky faucet for example). Now if Amazon or someone else can figure out how to deliver quickly (1 hour or less) then maybe local shopping will go the way of gas…
Your definition is one definition of conflict of interest but as I pointed out to you there is another definition.
Agreed. There were a lot of things that contributed to the failure of many small businesses, long before Amazon came along. In a way some small businesses failed because they failed to adapt.
Yes overhead is higher for small business, no question. But, to be fair, a big building like a Walmart or a Home Depot also cost a lot and I would argue Home Depot does have competent people.
Yea I did look it up and it is fucked up, though according to what I read they stopped that nearly 20 years ago. I’m also not sure this is what killed small business. That’s a longer conversation than I think you or I want to have.
Not really. First a car is a lot harder to steal than a package on a porch. Second, a car is a lot harder to get rid of than the items you’re likely to order from Amazon. Even if you don’t want it you can use it as a gift for someone else or pawn it.
WTF?
I do visit my local store on a regular basis, but there are some things I just won’t buy there because their prices are significantly higher. For big ticket hardware items (tools, appliances, etc) I usually go Home Depot or Amazon
Stay in school young man, you’re going to need all the education you can get and to help you on your way let me share the definition of conflict of interest.
