  1. I think that's on Page 1 of "Lazada for Dummies". If it's not, it should be. Simple, and 100% effective. Nothing to remember. Nothing to spreadsheet.
  2. I appreciate the heads up. Illegitimi non carborundum.
  3. And Harris's policy was MIA. Still.
  4. Maybe he can't afford a VPN. I see a marketing opportunity for spray painting a fake skidmark onto women's panties. Wear those around the mall and look for the guys who are gagging when they stare at their phones.
  5. There were times I was in the middle of a project and had 8 or 10 Lazada orders going at the same time for components. If you live with a wife/GF and/or kids, you can't keep track of what they ordered in your head. I had a simple, 100% effective scheme for not being duped by the COD scam in the OP. I paid by K-Bank card in advance, and it would have been stupid to pay for anything that showed up COD.
  6. As someone said in a post above, biometrics will stop that. Even if they change their names and appearance, their fingerprints are in the system. Unless Sweden is foolish enough not to blacklist them when they cash their $34K check. I don't think the Swedes are fools. Though I could see some lefties demanding they leave the door open so they can enter Sweden to visit their friends and family they left behind. But that's the kind of "compassion" that put them into this mess. I hope they've learned their lesson...
  7. Did you notice the not-so-subtle difference between "Why did you reverse your position?" and "That's not true"? Fox would have asked Harris whether she was lying back then, or is she lying now... (Not really. That's hyperbole. Maybe.)
  8. My point was that the moderators were actually coaching her to talk about things that would help her with the voters. (Why don't you explain to the voters why you have changed your position on fracking?) All they did for Trump was to call him a liar. Like the late term abortion topic. Then they muted his mic.
  9. I agree with most of what you say, but I contend that the employers would find a way to make those jobs attractive if they couldn't fill them with cheap immigrant labor. And that would be good for domestic workers. It would drive up the cost of some products and services, but it would "lift all boats". And it could go a long way to forcing countries to figure out how to help the homeless and the underemployed.
  10. The real question is whether Trump should pardon Biden when the new DOJ rejects the recommendations of the Hur report. And there's no Dem controlled senate standing firmly in the way of impeachment. So far, the Supreme Court is pardoning Trump, and the appeals process will do the rest. He won't need a pardon.
  11. So, no link to the claim...
  12. Even when the "moderators" tried to coach her during the debate, she didn't get it.
  13. Not about Lasik, but I went from glasses to contact lenses years ago. Found myself getting poked in the eye a lot because I was so used to having the protection of glasses. Walking through brush, looking up while trimming the shrubs, that kind of thing.
  14. Call it what you want. It's exploding on the interwebs. Everyone's talking about the Harris/Biden Haitian problem in Springfield. And keep in mind the voters know all politicians lie. That's baked in. They're over it. That's not nearly as bad as the voters finding out cities are being devastated by bad policy.
  15. I was making $20 an hour back in the '80s, non-exempt. (That means I was entitled to overtime pay) The big discussions in the breakroom were whether working the overtime would put us in a higher tax bracket and we'd end up with less in our paychecks. It never worked out that we'd make less for working those hours. But it was common to find out that I wasn't making time and a half ($30), it was more like $15 an hour after taxes. Which sucked. Not much incentive to work those extra hours if that's the case. Then I granulated and got a salaried job, not entitled to overtime. Then, I worked all those extra hours for free, in the vain hope that I'd get promoted faster. Sucked even more, because the good looking blonde guys got all the promotions, no matter how little extra time they put in. Edit: My bad. I got 2 eras in my life conflated. I wasn't making $40 an hour until the late '90s. Doesn't change the gist of the issue. But I confess to changing the numbers to be accurate.
  16. He did. Accidentally, and it's been a slow fuse. But Springfield's migrant problems are exploding on the interwebs because of Trump's "they eat cats" faux pas. He couldn't buy that kind of exposure to the Harris/Biden migrant problems all around the country. Even the MSM are explaining why the 15,000 Haitians are responsible for collapsing the city's schools, their traffic, their violent crime rates, and their housing. But there's no proof they eat cats.
  17. It does if it makes it more economical for those companies to move their manufacturing back to the USA.
  18. That sounds like a Democrat origin fable. Did you know Corn Pop, too? Were you on the bus in Selma, cheering on Rosa Parks?
  19. She found another gear for the debate, when her mic was muted. Looked like she was playing charades. And cheating. She was even mouthing the words.
  20. Maybe a faux pas, maybe not. With the civil war still raging in Haiti, he can't send them there. He's not evil. Maybe they came to the USA by way of Venezuela? Or maybe he mis-spoke. People do that sometimes when they get so happy about things going their way. Who knows? And where's the link that he actually said it? Funny how we need links but you guys can say whatever crap you want. And if there is a link, I want the whole statement. Not 3 carefully curated words.
  21. If you aren't familiar with the expression "rub some dirt on it and get back in the game", you never went to a real American grade school or high school. Unless you went to one of those artsy city schools with no PE coaches.
  22. What tears? Trump's "eating cats" faux pas has gone absolutely berserk on the interwebs, the MSM, and the right wing conspiracy rags. All people are talking about is the Biden/Harris migrant problem in Springfield. He couldn't buy that kind of exposure to the Harris/Biden migrant problem. (See how I changed it up?) Cats and geese are a tiny part of that. Accidentally, he hit a home run. It's been a great few days. And Trump just rubbed some dirt on it and got back in the game.
  23. If the facial expressions were meaningless, why did she make such a big deal of making them? She must have had coaching, and practiced for hours.
  24. And still, the 3 of them beat Trump to a pulp. Fixed it for you.
  25. If someone called 911 to report a stolen ice cream cone and the cops didn't find an ice cream cone, would that mean nobody stole an ice cream cone? It's the same with any food. They may not have evidence to identify a suspect or prosecute, but the 911 call is evidence that 4 guys were walking down the road, each with a goose from the local park. They call that an eyewitness.
