Hugh Mughnus Posted June 27, 2016 Share Posted June 27, 2016 I realised I hadn't received an item I ordered from discogs which was marked as 'shipped' 15 days ago so contacted the seller. Turns out someone blew up his local post office. http://www.bristolpost.co.uk/PICTURES-Shirehampton-Post-Office-blown-overnight/story-29177877-detail/story.html I am STILL trying to get a refund on this. Seller is a non-responder so I had to report him as such. He got back to me and apologised and refunded me via a paypal echeque which would take 10 days to clear. Like an idiot I confirmed the refund as received on Discogs. Today the payment failed So now I've had to message him again and insta-report him again. :catrage: If you paid by Visa, you can get a refund administered through Visa? I paid for goods on Amazon with my visa that never showed up, almost $700 worth. I called Visa directly and they sorted me out. Is that an option for you?

eugene Posted June 27, 2016 Share Posted June 27, 2016 i also started learning and doing a bit of programming for some data preparation jobs i'm doing recently in stata, i don't even know if you comp.sci hunks consider stata stuff as programming but i do so fuck you. didn't even realize that i'd like it so much, it's so satisfying to make some logical contraption do what you need it to do perfectly. here's the creation i'm the most proud of so far (i'll even put it in code formatting like a pro): sort pid syear cum cum cum replace cum cum cum drop cum Eugene cum max (cum) cum (pic) replace cumu cumu replace cumu3=D it basically counts the number of times a person was disconnected from the labor force in the last 3 years and creates a variable that signifies it for each year. i nearly came when it actually did what i wanted after hours of frustrations. Cool code lol i very much consciously decided to add the extra "u" letter after "cum" as other people will see and use this code, it's short for cumulative. i do have one variable about the importance of person's success in his job, it's "job_succ" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
juiceciuj Posted June 27, 2016 Share Posted June 27, 2016 mother has been unwell now for months with various things. every time it seems she may finally be on the mend something else pops up. first neck surgery, then oral surgery because of infection now she's having severe gi issues. she's been mostly housebound and it's 'causing her already severe depression to worsen. was hoping to get her out of the house this weekend for the fourth but now she's too sick to be away from a bathroom for more than a 15-30 minutes. she's barely sleeping and i have no idea what i can possibly do to help her feel any better. her gp sounds like a total prick also my back is hurting all the time and i'm perpetually 20-25 pounds overweight even though i exercise more than anyone i know. well... all but one person i know and he's lost 90 pounds in less than a year.

I haven't shopped seriously in years and I need a decent wardrobe. i spend about $200/yr on clothes maybe. probably much less but we'll average that with the very occasional cheap suit i buy. that's 25 years worth of clothes your budgeting for or did you mean like, yen or rupees or something Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ambermonk Posted June 28, 2016 Share Posted June 28, 2016 Apparel shopping...I used to try and buy the newest, most expensive clothing I could find in my late teens and early 20s. Anymore though I go to thrift / second-hand shops when I need new shirts or something.BTW Juice sorry to hear about your mom's condition. Hope she pulls thru.

Whole setup is "vintage" aka old as fuck, will have to troubleshoot. I'm kinda scared to though, as a number of weeks ago I plugged in an old FM radio and the cable fuckin exploded with the loudest BANG and all the lights in the house went out, gave me a heart attack. That + ignorance about electric stuff makes me scared of tinkering with cables and current Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
