Tracking info saying ‘pending’ even when the parcel already arrived.

Recently, I have bought several items off of Vinted (from overseas), copied the tracking number into Auspost and it says pending even when I know for a fact that the parcel has entered the Auspost system because it literally arrived to my house.

In addition to this, Auspost has added unidentified parcels itself labeled ‘From Vinted’ and those parcels have shipping progress information and do not say ‘pending’. No matter how many times I delete the registered codes from Vinted and re-add the tracking codes of the items, it still says ‘pending’ when, due to parcels literally arriving and also other packages being automatically registered (that are clearly the ones I ordered) I am certain they are in the Auspost system.

Also, the items that have already arrived (despite the post app still saying pending) don’t register as delivered in the actual Vinted app.

What is going on?

Question about The Good, The Bad and The Ugly

This contains spoilers just in case.
For the sake of clarity and brevity, I will refer to each of the 3 main characters as Good (Clint Eastwood) Bad (Angel Eyes) and Ugly (Tuco/fake Bill Carson)

I have a question about the following scene:
Ugly is digging up the buried gold from the grave of Arch Stanton, which is the name that Good falsely gave to Ugly and the wrong grave. Then Good comes up with a gun, tosses a shovel and instructs Ugly to keep digging. Then, Bad shows up, aims a gun at Good and tells him to start digging alongside Ugly. Good then basically says “you won’t kill me because this is the wrong grave, I lied and you still need me to tell you the correct grave where the gold is actually buried”. Then Good writes the correct name on the bottom of the stone and they duel.

My question is, if he knew it was the wrong grave, why did he tell Ugly to dig it up. The possible outcomes/reasons of this are: A: He didn’t expect Bad to show up, and so Ugly would have dug up the grave, then Good would have said “that’s been the wrong one the entire time” and then dug up that one and split the gold, as they do later; or B: He did expect Bad to come, and (knowing Ugly had no bullets in his gun) Good could have just waited for Bad to arrive and said to both of them “I lied earlier, let’s duel” and the movie would have played out as normal.

How practical would it be to wear a wool poncho?

I am looking to buy a wool poncho like the one in the pictures, and I wonder how practical it would be to actually wear (because I don’t want to buy one if I can never wear it). There was already a post here asking almost the exact same thing, but I am talking about modern practically not how they were used historically. I live in Australia, and if you aren’t Australian there is a lot of fluctuating heat and rain (though it can be almost 0 Celsius. in winter, very occasionally). I understood wool is water repellent, so it would be good for rain, but would it otherwise be practical?

Where can I buy a replica of Clint Eastwood’s poncho in the Dollars trilogy

I am looking for a replica of this, made of real wool and with an accurate design. On websites like eBay and Etsy, there are tons listed that are cheap replicas that have inaccurate designs, and it is hard to determine details and if they are just scams or using fake pictures. If this is the wrong place to post this, please direct me to the right place

Is there a reason the item I bought is ‘pending’?

Just over a week ago I bought a jacket off of Vinted from the UK. I live in Australia and usually when I order from Vinted the item usually registers in Aus post within a day or two and arrives in about 5 days from purchase. However, I am using the Auspost app to track using the shipping label, and it says ‘pending’, which according to google means that it hasn’t been registered in the Auspost system yet. On the Vinted app, the status is ‘Order sent and on its way’, and has been this way for about a week. Is there an issue, or do I just need patience?

How can I view my old liked videos?

If you scroll down far enough in your liked videos, they stop loading (not like the videos are there but they don’t load, I mean you just reach a false end where there aren’t any videos below it) Apparently this is a feature of TikTok to save space or something. I want to go back though and see my oldest likes because I’m trying to find a creator who I don’t know the name of, but I can’t do this because they aren’t there. Is there anyway to view my oldest liked videos?

Man shoots criminal in revenge, on live tv

It’s a clip where a man, on I think live tv, is walking past another man who I believe assaulted his child and got away with it, and then pulls out a gun and shoots the criminal in revenge.

Tips to learn to cut my own hair?

Please help me find a jacket exactly like this

Im in Australia btw, but can ship from overseas. Even just key terms to search with or places to look will help. Or, if anyone has one they want to sell to me.

Pretty simple, I am looking for a jacket that looks as close to this as possible. The guy in the picture is Dean Winchester and it is a Wilson’s car coat style jacket. I am a fair bit shorter than he is (5’9”-10”, he is like 6’1”-2”) so an exact match would also be a be more like a trench coat, but I still want one large and oversized. I bought a similar one online (second hand, not from a retailer) but it was smaller than expected (fits more like a regular leather jacket).

I’ve scoured sites like Vinted and Depop, I’m not looking at eBay or Etsy though because a) everything is expensive and b) the only ones they sell are replicas that aren’t good quality.

I don’t want a jacket that was designed to look like this, i.e. a deliberate replica, but just one that looks like it. The reason I am avoiding replicas is because they won’t be made from real leather or made well, they will just be made to fit the look. I want one that has the same patina and is real, solid leather. Also, when people know that it is Dean’s jacket, they price it at like 600 bucks and my budget is a fraction of that (maybe 140-180 USD max).

Edit: to people saying I won’t find one in my price range, I already did as I stated, it was just too small.

Can you make a jacket longer?

I got a leather jacket a while ago, and it was a fair bit shorter than I expected it to be (it was generally smaller then expected but jackets will loosen a bit to fit better in other aspects). Obviously it can’t be by a lot without adding fabric, but is there any way to stretch it a bit to make it longer?. It’s real leather by the way (99% sure based on weight and texture). Ideally I would add about an inch of length, maybe a little more

How do I fade a leather jacket?

How can I get my leather jacket (picture A is not mine but the one I have is basically identical) to look like the one in picture B (Dean from Supernatural)? It’s real leather. I’ve seen techniques online but they all look like they destroy the leather/aren’t used on real leather/just sun fade the whole thing. Any advice is appreciated

Question about where Dean lived before the pilot

The famous line is “Dad’s on a hunting trip and he hasn’t been home in a few days.” He is obviously being euphemistic in front of Jessica, so when he says “home” I might assume he just mean “he hasn’t come back”. But this still begs the question of where they lived. Do they just live as he and Sam did in early seasons, staying in motel rooms and solving cases? Did John have his own car considering that Dean has the impala in the pilot? If, alternatively, he inherited the impala after John went missing, that would mean that Dean was just hanging around somewhere while John went on a hunting trip. Did they have a primary location? Am I just being stupid? I swear I’m not karma farming. Also I’m only on season 10, so no spoilers please

Edit: Also, Dean has to clarify; “Dad hasn’t been home in a few days…Dad’s on a hunting trip and hasn’t been home in a few days”. If they were going around perpetually hunting like he and Sam do later, surely Sam would automatically assume that he was on a hunting trip?

How do I avoid looking like a Lumbersexual hipster?

Everyone knows the stereotypical hipster/millennial with the boots, flannel, workwear etc. What I usually wear is brown leather laced boots, straight jeans, a plain t shirt, and if it’s cold and flannel or over shirt and some kind of utility jacket. For reference of the general style and color palette, look at any generic male character in the show Supernatural. Sometimes I feel I look like I’m trying to cosplay a lumberjack or something. Any specific tips on how NOT to look like a lumbersexual millennial hipster? (e.g. I don’t roll the bottom of my jeans).

[TOMT] Word for fetish involving cannibalism

It’s not gynophagia. The word isn’t just about cannibalism specifically, but if you looked it up/visited a community about it, that would be a significant portion of the contents. Also, the cannibal aspect is more about eating people than being eaten (like vore). It’s sort of a word for a specific portion of very extreme and dark fetish/es, not just cannibalism. I heard about it probably a couple of years ago believe in some YouTube video about dark internet places/incidents (like those about Cannibal Cafe or the Joy Junction/Ronald William Brown incident).

Edit: please don’t focus too much on the cannibalism aspect. It’s just some kind of genre of the most extreme of the extreme and dark. It doesn’t end in ‘phagia’ ‘philia’ etc because it’s not just one concept or pathology.

I have a theory; what colour do you see the gold&white/black&blue dress as?

You all know the image I’m talking about. I genuinely see it as gold and (blue-ish) white, and I have blue eyes. I’ve seen things of people changing the brightness/contrast/tone and can understand how people might see black and blue. I wonder if this is somehow related to eye colour, like people with blue eyes vs brown absorb more light and maybe that’s why people see it differently. Please comment what you see and your eye colour.

Any recommendations on scientific/critical books on the occult?

Scientific books on the occult?

I am interested in scientific books on the supernatural and adjacent ideas (ghosts/demons etc, afterlife, consciousness, religion, magic, etc). I certainly don’t mean fear-mongering books from 1567, or those about how to do ‘real magic’ or about ‘spookiest paranormal encounters’; I mean relatively modern, peer-reviewed criticisms/fair discussions. Scientific experiments, logical arguments in either direction, things like that. I am not particularly interested in astrology/manifestation/crystals and things of that particularly variety, but any book suggestion is greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

[TOMT][Movie] with Steve Zahn not listed on Wikipedia or IMDB

He plays the past/younger version of the main character. He is probably in his 20s at this point, and I believe he has glasses and longish hair. I thought it was the movie Chasing Christmas (2005) but he isn’t listed anywhere. I remember him making out with a girl on a pool table.

There is a scene in The House That Jack Built in which he is preventing (I think) Jacquelin from leaving by standing over her at the door and he is screaming at her, and then immediately becomes calm and apologetic/remorseful (at least he acts that way). This strongly reminded me of an almost identical scene where a couple is fighting, the woman is scared and trying to leave but the man blocks her from opening the door and is screaming in her face, and then realises how abusive he is being and becomes extremely remorseful and lets her leave. It could be from You? I really have no idea.
