Satellite Question

[ousdahl]

to clarify:

when I say the Dick thread, I mean the Big Dick Energy thread

not the one one the nsfw bored

[pdub]

Snowblower has been waiting for this moment since last Spring.

[ousdahl]

for real, how come I get so many "500 internal server error" messages on this site?

[TDub]

to save you from yourself. The universe is looking out for you.

[jhawks99]

I don't get any. 500 errors that is.

Mjl what happened?!

[Mjl]

Yeah, sorry bout that racist rant, my bad

[jhawks99]

That dude went off the deep end. I haven't read Dilbert in years but I always like it. Even watched the teevee show when it was on.

So say you are going to sell your table and benches on FB marketplace but before you do, offer it to a friend who just moved.

They take it.
It doesn't fit and then they turn around and get rid of it via Craigslist.

Thoughts?

[KUTradition]

shit happens

[pdub]

For sure.
NBD.

However if the roles were reversed, i'd probably say, "hey, this actually doesn't fit, i'm going to sell it via the interwebs and give you half," or something along those lines.

interesting enough this just happened to me...but reversed and with a big wood bed frame and headboard.

It was given to us (i think mainly because they didn't want to move it...so...kind of as a favor)....

we ended up hating it as it takes up so much damn space...so....we asked them if they wanted it back (they didnt). Then...I sold it for 550....and sent then 300. Even though I had to do all the work of disassembling it, hauling it out of the house, loading it in a truck, delivering it to the new person, and unloading it.


Because.....we'd only had it a month and it didn't feel right to sell it and keep it all.




I see both sides though. Im your scenario, I dont think I'd be too upset if it happened to me, I wouldn't argue or start a fight over it....but I would be a little...non plussed.

[pdub]

Yea, for sure, no fights, no arguments, more just, huh, that's not what I woulda done.
You did the right thing TDub.

[ousdahl]

Oh come on bro, it’s not like we’re talking about a donut here.

[pdub]

How much would you pay for half a donut if you knew it was freshly and cleanly cut? 25 percent of original?

[ChalkRocker]

I've said it before. I'll say it again.

There's nothing wrong w/ a half doh-doh.

No discount. I'll pay a full 50% of previously advertised value. Not a penny less.

[pdub]

Oh shit.

[ousdahl]

Damn, CR going full QT.

The satellite bored rules!

And to think, I was gonna respond to Pdub’s half donut question with some pun like how only the scum of the earth cut donuts in half. You know, real bottom crullers.

[pdub]

Booked flights to a relatives wedding across the country. Said no kids at ceremony or reception. But there'd be a sitter provided off site. OK. Cool. We'll come ( this includes bro/sister in law and their kid ).

Learn this weekend, scratch that, no sitter, sorry, we don't know of any either.

How acceptable would it be to have the blood relatives ( two lady cousins ) go and for the dads and kids to cancel and sit this one out?

[KUTradition]

in my immediate family such a thing would be totally acceptable…my extended family not so much
