I agree, as much as those comments annoy me, it’s probably better to leave them for a number of reasons. One upside is you get to see Giles’ responses, which are usually(always) worth it.

Would be cool if there was some way for the forum to detect what someone is about to reply, and suggest a link to a response about it, i.e. once you type misaligned or placket on that thread then it provides a link to the first place it was answered by IH staff before letting you post your reply.
Probably still wouldn't stop anything though

@Ikeaparty funnily enough, that’s how I use the search feature of the forum. Many times, it’s the first thing I do before I answer a question. I’ve also used it before when wanting to suggest a new item to be made, when is an item due to be restocked, etc.
It’s a powerful tool when used, albeit a bit quirky.

No wonder, it’s purple

Absolutely unrelated to anything I've read here, I'd like to share a funny story that I've experienced working retail in a brick and mortar selling outdoor equipment.
Customer comes in and asks for a very specific water purifying device we did not carry. We had however many (from my point of view superior) options that took me a long time to lay out in front of the customer. All options were for one reason or another rejected. I then called our suppliers if there was the off chance to get the device, so that I could sell that one unit we did't regularly carry to the customer. Unfortunately the item was not available for us. All I could do was to thank the costumer for trying to shop with us before shopping on Amazon.
The customer, however, was outraged that a reputable brick and mortar did not carry such an item. After apologising for the sake of politeness, she demanded that I ordered the Item from my personal Amazon account and then sell it over our counter.
I took a break a had a cup of tea.
Actual rant:
My wife's employer just told her and all the other workforce that they won't be paying them for the foreseeable future, in fact they don't know if they'll ever be able to
As of now, she's worked the last four weeks without pay as it turns out. I should probably postpone my plans to buy any nice Good Art in the new future..."Every day, once a day, give yourself a little present. Don't plan it. Don't wait for it. Just let it happen."

@RobeOfTheMagi. Let me get this straight. Your wife's employer said that he cannot pay the employees but he has no problem working them? Twilight zone for sure right there. I am pretty sure that is illegal in the US.

@RobeOfTheMagi I'm just imagining listing the CEOs stuff in Facebook marketplace and selling it to make up some of the funds owed, but of course somehow you'd get charged for theft for doing that if your a human, even though your time and effort was stolen

The stopping of any cashflow is just a temporary measure, I suppose.
But I don't read it as a good sign.
-
As I understand it, the company is in negotiations concerning restructuring over the next two weeks. Until that process is over, there won’t be any cash flow in any direction.

is it spirit airlines?

No, it‘s a way smaller company.

Due to construction I had to take rail replacement bus to the city, which is an 1h ride.
As if this wasn‘t enough this lady decided to sit right next to me on a half empty bus.
Why? Why???

@don_pipone some people are just strange

@Indigo-Alchemist there must be always that one strange person. If you can‘t spot them, you are the person.
