That's funny stuff right there.

Never had an issue with Amazon returns. The kids got the Amazon Kids Kindle for Christmas a couple of years ago. They came with the "no questions asked replacement warranty". I didn't really beleive it, but sure enough, when my oldest busted the screen 18 months into the 2 year warranty, he had a new within 3 days.

We order a ton from amazon. A few years ago I ordered a protec tuba gig bag. It was way to big and came in a huge box. When I returned it I put as my reason "it's as big as a house asbigasahouse."
'Someone" emailed me and said "lol, that made my day"
I had a damaged graphic novel (the rocketeer collection) it has a razor slice on the back. They swapped it out no questions asked.
I have had no issues with them or with prime.

My wife asked me why I carry a gun around the house ...

I told her, "Fear of the NSA".

She laughed, I laughed, Alexa laughed. I shot the Amazon Echo.

Sorry guys. Mea culpa. I was in my cups.

I deserve the ridicule.

I had two previously purchased items completely disappear from my Amazon history. Trying to figure it out now via my AMEX statements. They disappeared when I called in on a warrantee issue. 400 dollar items.

Back to my cave.

PS I know a couple of AMZN guys and I will never ever have Alexa in my home. You are inviting the devil in your home.

Off to bang a few Advils. Sorry.

Sorry to waste your bandwidth last night.

Demon rum.

The Amazon issue is real, however. Go to the website and look at job openings for machine learning. This company will know more about you than your spouse, some day. Don't give them a foot in the door, I say.

Yes, I know this sounds paranoid, but I am sober now, and I do know what they are working on. I have friends there, and I live 5 miles from the campus. Don't buy Alexa is all I can contribute.

Sorry Para

I was drunk last night. I admit it.

I am sorry for wasting time.

I am now sober and I regret what I posted.

Won't happen again. I imagine a few of us have posted after drinking. I will not do that again and I am sorry for wasting your time last night. I also apologize to the members.

Yea, drunk posting is on the boss's list of things not to do. You might get a one time pass cause it was some funny shit on a slow night.
I was laughing hysterically last night while I was reading the posts but did not chime in due to hanging out with capt Morgan.

You should get your CUT changed to "Channels Bendable when drunk".
