The crew 2 was $1 on steam. I use linux. The game has anticheat :(
One-size-fits-all batman cat mask was not so one-size-fits-all
For context - This cat’s name is batman.
That definitely looks 3d printed, and I bet the files for that are online somewhere…
Pretty sure I could make one in the right size if you post measurements?
Yeah the printing lines were not even sanded off the top.
I do want to thank you kindly for the offer to print one up. You Rock! But shipping to Canada would probably be ugly.
I hope to pick up a 3d printer this winter and if I manage it I will use this as a learning project.
A Creality Ender 3 can be gotten on sale for under $150 USD. It’s a great entry level printer if you want to learn the how’s & why’s of printing & like to tinker.
If you want to just push a button & have things work 90% of the time, I’d go with a Prusa MK4S, but those start around $800 USD…
Good luck on your printing journey! It’s a fun little combination of crafting and tech.
And not Catman?
Let’s not be silly now.

Tax refund.
I didn’t make enough money for the year to be taxed so I got all of it back.
I hope to get a refund for my train ticket from last Thursday where the train was just cancelled.
Online request didn’t work, so I have to go to the train station today and waste even more of my time.
Ordered energy drinks on Amazon because I couldn’t find the flavor at the grocery store anymore (Monster Nitro Cosmic Peach). The estimated arrival day got pushed back twice, and then the status changed to say that the item was late enough that I could claim a refund. I punched the tracking number into the UPS website and it said that a shipping label had been created, but the package was never actually handed over to UPS. My guess is that the seller ran out of stock and decided to do nothing about it and just wait for me to refund, but I guess it’s also possible that someone at UPS swiped the package instead of scanning it into their system.
Either way, I did get a refund through Amazon support.
$26 on broken wine glasses from Amazon. $7k from my 2021 taxes after having my ssn used by a stranger and then the paper forms getting lost in the mail twice.
Got diapers instead of a laptop from amazon.
That’s actually part of the shipping package for new Windows boxes due to Recall and all the other shit they want to stuff in there.
Lol… Yeah, don’t buy things like phones or laptops from amazon. Other gadgets seem to be a better bet (like bluetooth speakers, smart watches, etc) but for some reason laptops and phones seem to be the most scammed.
Well the main reason is that those are a lot more expensive and easy to sell.
Lesson learned indeed.

Ordered a pair of Moondrop Chu IEMs, mostly for the eartips that come with them. Pair was defective, so I contacted the seller and demonstrated that one ear doesn’t work. Got a full refund without return, ordered a new pair, and ended up with two sets of those eartips.
I gave away the second pair equipped with generic eartips to a friend who recently broke his earbuds. I also snipped the dead earbud, heatshrunk the wires, and I use the single earbud for when I’m washing the dishes or doing the laundry. Very nice outcome for me!
I guess technically a refund? I returned tools I rented from O’Reilly to fix the timing chain on my truck. 250,000 miles and still runs like a champ, just ignore the noisey lifter haha
A game I only bought because someone else wanted to play that together on a private LAN party. That person then announced that they couldn’t show up. And since I was terribly uninterested in playing that game on my own and only bought it for just that occasion, I refunded it after that news.
Kerbal Space Program 2.
Yeah it’s looking really bleak over there…
Train ticket!
I got it because I ended up being able to catch an earlier train, instead of the train I was expecting to catch and had bought a ticket for.
My refund was for a pack of tomatoes, boring! So I’ll tell you a funny refund story I heard today. Friends, mostly a bit squiffy (driver aside) were trying to book a hotel at their destination on booking.com. There were rooms available in hotel A. “Check the reviews” said Ms Sober. “Nah, just book it!” said Ms Squiffy.
Booking made, they tried to contact the hotel. No answer. Reviews were AWFUL. “Rats behind the bar” type awful. Fast forward to arrival aaaand the hotel was closed. They moved on to hotel B, where they learned that hotel A was shut because the owner was in jail for repeated violation of food hygiene standards.
So they called booking.com for a refund. “We can’t refund you until we’ve heard from the proprietor.” “The proprietor is in PRISON.” “Well we’d still like to give a chance to get in touch.”
It took them weeks to get their money back. Moral of the story is always try to book directly with the hotel.
I just had a look and apparently it’s back in business.
Review from this month: “Refused to stay, checked in 3 rooms & all checked out within 10mins of arrival, the disgusting place is a health hazard, taps not working, mould all over walls, the place needs closing down.”
Owner: “Sorry this not true just looking for refunds.”
Online grocery order had a like-for-like product substitution, but the substitution was from a producer that uses a slightly different set of ingredients, one of which I have an intolerance of. Sending it back garnered a refund… and might have helped train an algorithm somewhere.
That is, if they have some kind of semi-random procedure to choose which customer gets a substitution, someone else who’d be more likely to accept it might get it instead, and I’ll get the product I can eat.
I think those substitutions are picked by the person filling your order. We got a hilarious substitution from Walmart once. My wife ordered a bottle of thyme or oregano or something similar. They were out of stock so the worker went to the garden center and substituted it with a fucking potted plant of thyme or oregano. We both laughed our asses off at their choice but it wasn’t what we needed.
The place I use allegedly uses robots to pick the orders, so, in theory anyway, it’s a machine making the decisions. Or someone sat in front of one, rather than on the warehouse floor.
My grocery store ways texts a photo of what’s available and I tell them what will work.
I’ve been fixing up an old motorcycle, and the weekend I was finally ready to try starting it I discovered an issue in the electrical system. I discovered this by blowing both of the fuses I had for it. I ordered new fuses from Amazon that would arrive Monday, but then decided Saturday morning that I didn’t want to wait, so I replaced the existing fuse holder with a more modern one so I could get fuses at the auto parts store, and returned the older style fuses when they arrived
What are ya building? Old motorcycles are my jam!
I’m currently rebuilding my '73 triumph for the 5th time. This time as a bobber with a bolt-on hardtail.
Mine is a little different! It’s a '69 Honda CT90. Used to be my dad’s, and about a month ago I brought it back from my Grandpa’s and tore it down nearly to the frame to clean and rebuild it
Oh man. I had so much fun on these. Great project!
I’ve learned so much! I’m currently dealing with hassles around the title, but once that’s taken care of I’m going to use it as my daily driver
Bought an ECM for my vehicle. It didn’t work, truck wouldn’t prime the fuel pump or start. Returned it.
