I lashed out today and bought another mobile phone to use as a spare. I have also spent $15 for calls & data for that phone, it has a useful 12 month expiry period. It actually has $22 of credit because in the preceding 12 months, I used $23 out of a $30 credit. The unused credit was rolled over into the next 12 month period.
Totally disgusted with the inoperable digital camera I bought on eBay. I also had to pay an excess postage charge because the seller sent it via express post but only paid the standard charge. I've let him know (nicely) of my concerns, if nothing happens by Tuesday, I'll escalate the issue with eBay.
Either way, this scumbag's 100% satisfaction rating on eBay will get a hammering. CUNT.
Crunch time for iur Mac User Group. We can't (at present) stay ahead of our costs. The only way to keep going past Xmas will be to change the way the monthly magazine is delivered. The options are: print one every second month or stop the printing altogether & just use the colour PDF form. Printing costs around $2300 per month & mailing them is $500 more. We're losing about $1400 per month, so a bi-monthly print run will bring us back on track. The problem is the acerage age of the 600 or so members, it's around 73. A certain percentage aren't going to appreciate the loss of a printed magazine.
Committee crisis meeting next Tuesday night.
We may consider a print-on-demand deal if the price is favourable but that's looking dodgy, too. Plus the ancient X-seeve that runs our BBS needs replacing with a rack-mounted Mac Mini server, that's another $1500 needed. Looks like the club may make it to 37 years old.
@streakmachine Amazon? https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B007PR8NQO/ref=mpsa110?ie=UTF8&qid=1469734454&sr=1-10&refinements=pnfeaturekeywordstwobrowse-bin%3A4929542011&pi=ACSX236SY340QL65

That was a tad dramatic: the sound of a safety razor weighing almost 5 ounces falling from a height almost 7 feet onto a ceramic tiled floor. The razor disassembled itself. Only three parts, the body, blade & top cover, the latter is a snap-off/on to remove/refit, so there's no damage.
Damn cat got out the front when I took the bins out earlier. Had to lure it back inside with a laser pointer.
@jextxadore Buy it. The price is quite reasonable. Unlike lard, that's pricey stuff.

@jextxadore Nonsense! Deep frying IS boiling! Just using a different medium to water. My own preference is beef dripping, aka tallow.
