Re: Amazon return - Today
Quotecyclemax Several years ago I received a package from Amazon with my correct name and address. I opened the package and it was a bag of insecticide specifically used to treat crops for some specific type of insect. I called Amazon and they could find no record of it being shipped to me or anybody for that matter. The woman said for me to keep it. I said I don't need it or want it. She would nby Buzz - Tips and Deals
Re: "DOJ moves to block Purdue Pharma deal shielding Sacklers" - Today
Leave the Sacklers alone. Work on a genetic modifier that cures addiction. Do we sue the automakers into oblivion because of all the drunk, doped up, unlicensed, sleeping drivers that abuse motor vehicles? Opioid addiction is bad. Most addiction is bad (though I hereby reserve a personal exemption for chocolate). The Sacklers are merely a convenient enemy in the "war" againsby Buzz - 'Friendly' Political Ranting

ISO: Accurately sized archival print. - Yesterday
Follow up to previous thread a ways down.... I'd like a decent archival quality print, but also a print that is true to size! Walgreens print is true to size, but Costco print is (noticeably) better looking...., though its sizing is off both vertically and horizontally....., and oddly enough, it's stretched more %-wise horizontally than vertically, so a straight % correction won't work.

Re: Is there a 'pre=paid' SIM for iPads? - Yesterday
I've been splurging w/ T-Mo's $10/mo iPad plan.... it has limited GB's of full speed LTE general data, but 480p streaming is unlimited and doesn't count against it, so we watch a lot of stuff on the road. Hotspot is backup option if GB's run out and iPad gets throttled back, but that's only happened a couple of times, and throttling isn't too bad if you're not doing anything intense.

Re: Should Hospitals treat AntiVaxxers like DNRs - Yesterday
Set up "Non-Vaxxed" wards in parking lots adjacent to hospitals, and treat the idiots there after the vaxxed patients inside the hospital are taken care of. IOW, let patients self-select their level of care. Select not to vax, and you know where, and how you'll be treated if you end up in the hospital, er, in the hospital parking lot's Idiot Ward.

According to Mrs. Buzz after chowing down on a Papa John's "Shaqaroni" pizza. I can only best describe it as Costco pepperoni pizza on a thinner crust, and the pepperoni gets much closer to the edge than Costco's. The pepperoni is also sliced a hair thinner than Costco's, and is more liberally applied by pepperoni slices per square inch. It's $3 more than Costco for the same size pieby Buzz - Tips and Deals
