That's so true. Well before the 20s is up I'm already making edits to the code to preempt the imminent runtime error then recompile and continue the cycle...

Yes, all weakened and then blown over in a recent storm. Corrosion from sea-salt in the air maybe? There are tens of them about, which does not seem normal

I expect that I 1. underestimate the forces of nature and 2. overestimate the quality of British manufacturing

I found this damage interesting because

  1. There are high winds here (coastal area) but the frontal area of a sign seems pretty small
  2. I thought they would make signs out of more corrosion resistant materials

These are only a few of tens if not hundreds of downed signs in the area

Yes, the original tickets were from Ticketmaster and refunded. But StubHub (separate selling site) still want a cut even though I obviously can no longer sell the tickets, if that makes sense? Which is ridiculous because obviously it's not my fault the concert was cancelled.

I have no plan to pay it currently... see if anything comes of it. Would be interested to know if anyone else has ignored fees from them

no sale selling fee (lemmy.world)

I sold tickets to a concert on stubhub last year as I was unable to attend.

The concert was cancelled so no sale. Now stubhub wants me to pay a fee for failing to deliver on my listed tickets...

When Amazon starts a garbage collection division "Amazon Waste & Dispose" we'll know there's a conspiracy!

That's the thing, I'm always hesitant to give negative feedback on the delivery given I know it's more than likely that the driver is both overworked and poorly paid.

The best part was that I just opened the package, took out the item, and left the envelop there. Efficient recycling!

Fortunately remote enough not to have to worry about porch pirates. But maybe that's what the driver was thinking

My instructions were "On the porch or under the shelter by the bins"
