    @Giles it could well have been at the vendor's end. I've dropped the company an email, and I'll see if they come back. Their site runs on the Shopify platform, so I'd guess that would do it all automatically.

    Regardless of whoever made the mistake, it's annoying that I have to carry the cost.

      It turns out that the customs declaration didn't have the discounted price I paid on it, and the Shopify software was also doing something funny with prices.

          @Mizmazzle unfortunately the charge cannot be refunded by the Australian border force once paid. 😢

            But the shop that fucked up should refund you.

              @steelworker The disconnect in corporate culture between profitability and humanity is definitely troubling.

              Elon Musk said something on Twitter to the effect of a CEO’s role being to maximize profitability and returns to shareholders at all costs and ruthlessly in relation to the assassination.

              He’s too dumb to realize the logical takeaways from that statement. I won’t say what they are due to the no politics rule but it should be obvious.

              Think it, be it.

                @mclaincausey and how well did that cost-cutting approach maximise shareholder value at Twitter/X? 😆

                I heard an argument that cutting public sector costs will be harder for Musk and DOGE because the sacked employees will remain on the government's books as social security recipients.

                  Well they want to cut that too even though we paid into it. One of the ideas floated by Vivek was to base the firings on social security number prefixes and suffixes. That is an incredibly braindead idea for obvious reasons I won’t get into.

                  These are not serious people.

                    So tomorrow for lunch, we have a couple coming. One of who is vegan, and the other other who does not eat spicy.

                    And Christmas, we have some of my French family coming for a few days. One of the kids is vegetarian, and her partner eats nothing with Eyes.

                    FFS....

                          It seems really inhumane to gouge the eyes out of an animal before you harvest it

                            @Giles I prefer to eat potatoes!

                            Also “eats nothing with eyes” could be fixed by modifying the guest rather than the menu - not a recommendation, just an observation - and picking up from @mclaincausey it could be the more humane option!

                                  @Mister_Brue I had to kind of go off on a kid today. Always makes me feel bad. But its been bonkers school wide! Come Friday the whole place may be in rubble.

                                  @SKT I clock out at 3:45...right about the time you're clocking in!! 🤣 🤣

                                      @SKT Sounds like you been "dadding" for awhile to pull a pro move like that! Maybe I'll try that tomorrow morning myself!

                                          @Giles honestly was thinking you should make food along what he's thinking; potatoe and black eyed peas and whatever else you can think of. Maybe strawberries for dessert. Or make cupcakes that have one single eye on them.
