Just tried to do bottle returns at a Walgreens (Arizona 34 floz plastic) and was told they can no longer accept those since NY isn't on the bottle deposit list (CA, HI-ME, and OR are on there) even though I bought them there and they've accepted them before.

I've had trouble returning these for bottle deposits before (various machines reject them) so... IDK what to do. I'll just dump them in the bin if Ihave to, but it would have been nice to get a dollar or so back.

Any advice?

EDIT: Okay, no real way to make this work, I'll just be recycling them normally.
The reason for my confusion is that I'd previously been able to return these at Walgreens, and on a different occasion prior, while trying to do so at a Costco, had been told that the specific reason they couldn't take them is because it was not a product they sell, and they could take bottles/cans for any product they personally sold. I assumed that applied to other chains, and that the general rule was "a store can only take it as a return if they sell the product." I also thought that deposits were included in the cost of a product, and never bothered to check the receipt for it as a line item because it's not been an issue before. These assumptions came from experiences with stores directly, and it just turns out that those assumptions were based on abnormal experiences. Please don't be rude to me.

Might be using "backlogs" wrong: here I'm using it to mean the content libraries that a creator has on YouTube that predate their joining Nebula.

I've been bingeing a new set of creators (new to me) recently, and have run into an issue I've had with a few other channels: they tell you to go watch XYZ video for more context on something, but that older video isn't available on the channel. In this case, it was Extra History (they don't have any of their series from before 2018, which means I can't watch their overview of WWI or their video on Mali, which they've referenced several times).
Another thing would be that none of Tom Scott's main channel is on there, just his collaborations, the roadtrip around England, and that gameshow. I know that other creators have uploaded their older videos after joining Nebula (FD Signifier comes to mind), so it's definitely doable.

I'm avoiding YouTube for the AI age verification situation, so I'd prefer to watch everything I can on Nebula. Is there a contract issue that prevents some creators from uploading those older videos while others can?

Or is it just that some creators have such extensive libraries that it's way more of a hassle to bulk add everything to Nebula now, years into a weekly upload schedule?

My go-to backup shoes for weddings and the like are the old Taos Mary Jane pumps. Super comfy, but I've had them for so long and worn them so much that they're showing their age.

I've seen Miz Mooz ads for the Flynn recently that look similar, and heard good reviews of the brand in person (though that was for one of their fall/winter boots). Are any of their closed-toe pumps a good replacement for the Taos Mary Janes in terms of comfort and durability? Kettle, Franki, and Robyn also look good visually, but again, the real question is comfort.

I got the lantern this morning, but it's gone from my inventory now (checked my sdb, it's not there), and revisiting the shop like I do when the pant devil steals it isn't generating a new one. None of my worms are generating, either.

I definitely didn't already do the daily yet (9 of 10 worms generate in this fifteen-minute window around bedtime so I always do it then), so I'm not sure what's causing this.
