sending it, it costs more, and their feedback system is unclear.

If it's Prime, it's 'free'. They will often point out that it's cheaper
from other sources but often the shipping costs make up the difference.
Also the third party sources don't have the world by the balls so the
delivery time is a week to ten days rather than two days.

I've gotten some obvious Chinese knock-offs from Amazon sellers; one
email and the problem is resolved. usually they tell me to keep the
crap, refund the price, and kick the seller off their marketplace.

Hey, I'm an American and I want instant two day gratification, not
waiting for a slow boat to China so I'll forget why I wanted it by the
time it arrives.

I have gotten some stuff from eBay, generally strange stuff like laptop
keyboards that normally don't show up for sale.

Never met one, don't want to. The few American crocs in southern Florida

As far as alligators most of the problems with humans are like the

I am aware of the basement thing but a lot of them still have water

Most of those "bedrooms" are illegal since they don't have proper

No, SOME of them are illegal - but many if not most have proper
egress. Does not need to be IN the bedroom, but needs to be easily
accessible from the bedroom. Bedrooms DO require minimum window area
based on floor area though.

The "window" in a bedroom is all about egress. (at least in the US 1&2
family building codes) It is called an "Emergency escape and rescue
opening".

The "window" in a bedroom is all about egress. (at least in the US 1&2

Canadian code requires light AND egress - but in a situation where
it is not a rental unit, only 2 exits are required in an average sized
basement - one of which MUST be direct - either a door or "egress
window". If it is a separate living area the rules change and at
least in Waterloo egress is required from each bedroom. You can NOT
have a bedroom without a window, and the size of the window, if not
egress, is dictated by the floor area of the room - or to put it
another way, if you are adding a bedroom in a basement it's size is
limited by the size of the existing window unless you are willing to
enlarge it.

My living room and dining room are over a crawl space (the rest of the house

We had our crawlspace lined (with really heavy PVC tarp-like stuff) some time

But then I'm not a pessimist and don't require two forms of exit.

It is all about what happens if the house is on fire and you wake up

Well in my standard bedroom on the 1st (USA) or ground (UK) floor, I can still only get out of the door. The window only opens at the top. And anyone with a 2 storey house who sleeps upstairs has the same problem. Unless someone provided a ladder for you to climb down, you're ****ed.

But the percentage of arseholes is vastly different in other races.

I think the world would do well with just caucasians, Orientals, and Latinos. Orientals are intelligent and cute. Latinos are exceedingly sexy. Caucasians are a good mix of the two.

I was watching Andromeda. Netflix had the first season but not the rest.
I got up to Season 2, Episode 8 on Amazon and it wouldn't play. A popup
said I needed a ComicCon subscription, $4.99 a month after a 7 day free
trial. I think Season 3 is still available.

A guy was bitching about another scifi show he had been watching that
suddenly required a subscription. Apparently ComicCon bought the rights
to some of the old shows and are trying to capitalize.

What ****es me is I'm guessing the buck stops at Lionsgate; I doubt Lexi
Doig and the others are getting big royalty checks.

Google "piratebay"

I'm pretty sure Lexi doesn't get dime one from TPB either...

Who or what is Lexi?

Intellectually I'm glad places like TPB exist; practically it's not
important enough to me to bother.

Snob!

I have no desire to pay a large amount of money just to get freepost.

They will often point out that it's cheaper
from other sources but often the shipping costs make up the difference..

If I search on Ebay for a widget, I can sort by price. Where the price includes the postage. So I don't get someone selling something for £50 + £10 postage listed before someone selling at £55.

Also the third party sources don't have the world by the balls so the
delivery time is a week to ten days rather than two days.

I've gotten some obvious Chinese knock-offs from Amazon sellers; one
email and the problem is resolved. usually they tell me to keep the
crap, refund the price, and kick the seller off their marketplace.

Hey, I'm an American and I want instant two day gratification, not
waiting for a slow boat to China so I'll forget why I wanted it by the
time it arrives.

I have gotten some stuff from eBay, generally strange stuff like laptop
keyboards that normally don't show up for sale.

Same here. Especially Li Ion batteries rated at 2500mAh that I tested to be 500mAh. If I try to use them in my camera, it tells me they're empty when they're full, as they have a ****ty output current.

But I can easily tell which sellers are con merchants. The Ebay feedback system is good for this. I can instantly see how fast they tend to ship, whether the quality is good, etc, etc.

If I need some more of something some time in the future, like some more superglue, I'll get it from China if it's cheaper.

If I need a replacement part to repair something I need to use soon, I'll get it from the UK.

keyboards that normally don't show up for sale.

I used to buy large quantities of those for the spare keys, as I worked at a school and the kids would keep pulling the keys off. Before I worked there they used to replace the whole keyboard, replaced by Dell at great expense. But I just started buying second hand or broken keyboards for **** all on Ebay, and using the keys to replace the nicked ones. They seemed to stop bothering once they realised it wasn't causing anyone that much cost or hassle.

Once a kid thought it would be funny to change the code on the numeric padlock to lock a trolley full of laptops. I cut the padlock off with a rather large bolt cutter in front of the class and nobody bothered doing that again.

Never met one, don't want to. The few American crocs in southern Florida

As far as alligators most of the problems with humans are like the
problems with rattlesnakes; they start with "Hold my beer and watch this."

I can't tell which is which, so I'd shoot either on sight.

I've never been much of a TV watcher but I can't remember ever living
anyplace where there were more than five or six broadcast channels. We
used to have 6 but the sixth was some sort of Christian thing that never
figured out how to do digital.

You can get about 100 here through an aerial with "digital freeview". Sure, you're supposed to pay the thieving license fee which only funds one TV company, the BBC, but apart from that they're free, no subscriptions, no encryption.

Cable has a lot. When I'm traveling it sometimes takes me ten minutes to
spool through the hundred of so channels on the motel TV before deciding
they are all utter **** or show stupid ads every five minutes.

Don't they realise showing 6 minutes of ads doesn't sell twice as much as 3 minutes of ads? People get ****ed off and leave the room or fast forward it. They should just have one or two ads per break, then people might just sit and watch them.

The best you can hope for is EWTN (Eternal Word Television Network).
They feature nuns praying the rosary; very soothing and no ads other
than the implied ad for the Big Kahuna.

I'd only watch that if the nuns were naked.
