Just got done with a chat session that was 2 hours and then a phone session following that was about 30 minutes.

i’m convinced that Xfinity associates are trained to delay and slow down any customer service interactions and pepper them with attempts to upsell especially the mobile line. What should’ve taken 30 minutes took about two hours of talking to multiple different people on chat, and then once I connected to someone on the phone to verbally confirm removing a landline on my Wi-Fi, that person also attempted to upsell me the mobile line promo. Just a really sorts customer service experience, especially in this day and age where you’d think they have it down pretty smooth by now. granted the second or third person on the chat was actually really helpful after the notice that I had myself to two different people and that the chat had been going on for so long and having to reconnect, etc. But the person on the phone had no idea what the follow up was and I had to again explain everything to her and bunch of upsell attempts.

The Ultimate Doors were awesome last night

They had the sound down to a T. Including Jim’s mumbling style of talking, and trippy blurbs of poetry between songs. ALL of the gear on stage was period-correct. The guitarist switched between several vintage guitars during the set.

If NYC has 5 boroughs, how many does SF have, and which ones are the SF equivalent of NYC boroughs? Or would you spread it out across the entire bay including OAK, Alameda, South City, MarinSonoma, CoCoCo, etc.

Name the boroughs in SF that would be sister boroughs of the ones in NYC. Or describe the city as if it were grouped like NYC is.

New England Piggy Bank bottle with metal coin cap

Not sure when or where it’s from.
Edit: apparently it was a maple syrup bottle with a slit in the cap, which doubled as a piggy bank when empty.

Do expired shipping orders (label not generated/not manually cancelled) count as a strike against your seller profile?

An item sold locally then at the same time someone clicked order before I could mark it pending or sold. The buyer is ok with canceling the order but they can't seem to be able to request a cancellation. I can't cancel it cause this has happened a few times and I don't want it to go against my seller standing.

If I simply allow the order to go without generating a label and lapse the 7 day shipping dealine for it to auto cancel the order, would it still mark as a strike against my seller profile standing? Or just harmless "label not generated, order automatically cancelled after 7 days" and business as usual?

I get the feeling many of these mudlarking/arrowhead/metaldetecting etc YouTubers or video may be staged for “content quality” and clout

Sometimes you just get the hunch that a “discovery” video is staged with “wow” pieces to keep the video interesting with action. Won’t name any names but it seems it’s not authentic genuine finds where they lie, but some of them possibly staged not unlike a reality show where some may be authentic but it’s scripted.

Suggestion of a magnet that is not amazon but also not a YouTuber shill (bondi) or a sponsored redditor spamming people with affiliate links through DMs. Thanks!

I’d like to get my son his first Magnet Fishing Magnet. I can get the rope, grapple hook, and accessories myself. So far I’ve looked at a few brands that specialize in the hobby. And laughed at Bondi Magnets and the obvious YouTuber Shill of their website that has fooled whatever suckers have bought those. Any info is appreciated. And if you’ve got an affiliate link to spam in comments or DMs but play it off as casual advice then don’t @ me. Thanks!

How does one know if some of these posts are just staged videos of a planted piece before pressing record video?

A lot of these posts are video of people finding a surface find which could’ve easily been planted right before they pressed record and not necessarily organically found where the video alludes that it was. Is this a common possibility here with some of the posts? I just can’t see a cell phone video being proof that an arrowhead is real and that it was found where it was lying when the video started recording.
