I got banned from Amazon a few months ago with no explanation as to why, and it took nearly a week of back and forth with support to get it reinstated. None of them knew the reason why, they said my ban reason was "user requested" and that they would look into it further. Then the news came out a few months after that that thousands of others had gotten banned for leaving paid reviews so I guess that's the reason I had so many issues (I used to leave reviews for discounted products, but I was ALWAYS objective and never increased my rating just for the discount). So I feel your pain.
I proxy anything including keyboards (キーボード / 鍵盤), from both Japan (日本) and China (中國). For more information, you may visit my dedicated webpage here: https://www.keyboards.es/proxying.html

Someone must've hijacked ur account to order/ship Naughty stuff to different addresses..

Then they instituted a ban which may erase some internal records..


Remember lydia from Breaking bad ?


Amazon moves Meth.. !!


This is prevalent in large logistic systems, whereby criminals enter the organization and mooch on the resources to easily cover their tracks in the immense volume..


Given that amazon is now the biggest mover around,  it's really not a surprise.

Wasn't a storage container of OLD nes games found, and after some people got them, turns out the game cartridges had packs of synthetic heroine in them?


Either way, to Blaise, amazon account deletions happen when the same credit card is used on multiple accounts, even if they are sent to the same address. It was a real pain for me as well until I figured that out. Overaggressive fraud protection.

About to lose my mind. There's been no one to talk to in the office all week.

I mean sure it's only Tuesday but 12 hours goes by so slow without human interaction.

I mean sure most of the time I prefer doing things alone but there's usually one or two people here I actually don't mind sharing the usual banter with for 10-15  minutes to break the monotony.

so the xrays were moved to today, as they processed them i seen the computer screen from where i was standing, it wasnt an up close view but it was an unobstructed view, as far as i could see it appears not to be a tumor but as i said it wasnt up close, lets hope it isnt one and hope its just a swollen lymph node

I had a lump on my upper back / lower neck area for almost 2 decades before I had it removed. It was just a cyst, but it was fairly deep for such things.   You can see a picture of it here:

My frequency of headaches and migraines reduced drastically after getting it removed.
Perhaps your experience will be just as helpful!

Today I am venturing out to go shopping because the cupboards are bare, so since I last posted the total isolation time has been about 12 days.
(I did talk to my mom on the phone for about 20 minutes on one of those days, but no face-to-face for 12)

it was apparently used


I read an article by a guy who bought 100 used hard drives on ebay just to see what people left there, and the majority had not even been erased.

One was from an ATM machine!
"The Trump campaign announced in a letter that Republican candidates and committees are now expected to pay “a minimum of 5% of all fundraising solicitations to Trump National Committee JFC” for using his “name, image, and likeness in fundraising solicitations.”
“Any split that is higher than 5%,” the letter states, “will be seen favorably by the RNC and President Trump's campaign and is routinely reported to the highest levels of leadership within both organizations.”"

There's no way in hell I wouldn't dismantle my HDDs to play with the pretty mirror disks/magnets inside.. but.. let's say I messed up and didn't keep my precious mirror disks..

I would not respond to some random person that contacted me through LinkedIn to give me a lecture about my HDD data habits.

Maybe they didn't respond because they were.... dead?  And their pc was just sold off by relatives or the estate? 
(Unless you did purchase from them directly.)

I once bought a copy of the book Cosmos by Carl Sagan on eBay.  Tucked away inside was a very interesting letter from a woman to the owner.  She had given the book to this person as a gift, and reading between the lines of the letter it really seemed like they had some kind of love affair.    I found the letter quite touching and was fascinated by it.  I emailed the ebay seller, trying to find out a bit more info or if the letter was important to someone - but it turns out the seller had just picked it up at an estate auction.  Apparently the owner had passed away.   So a book about the Cosmos, that was once a token of potentially forbidden love between two people, was now in the hands of a stranger.  I felt a bit of profound sadness knowing that no one else in the world probably knew or cared about this significance.   I still keep that letter in the book to this day.  It seems fitting. 

Though, that sort of romanticism aside, if I were in your shoes I would just totally format those drives and not dig too deep to see what's on them.  Just my luck, it would be a bunch of **** pics or something.

Humility/Conservatism/Temperance are tools invented by humans to divert and focus energy on things OTHER than primal instincts.


As technology provide ever greater time-resource to all individuals,  we the animal fall back into simple primal hedonistic loops..

That is because in face of incessant mental stimuli which (Press) the urges,  Self-Control is simply exhausted.



Not sure if this is good or bad,  but this is the best way to comprehend population aging and low replacement rate..  Most humans are not thinking further ahead when they can experience unlimited pleasure now.

I once bought a secondhand PC and the previous owner hadn't even bothered logging out. I booted right into Windows and had full access to everything. I tracked them down on LinkedIn to try to prevent that from occurring in the future and they wouldn't respond.

They were probably freaked out.

There's no way in hell I wouldn't dismantle my HDDs to play with the pretty mirror disks/magnets inside.. but.. let's say I messed up and didn't keep my precious mirror disks..

I would not respond to some random person that contacted me through LinkedIn to give me a lecture about my HDD data habits.

The purpose was not to lecture, but to potentially return the approximately 3000 family(?) photos I found. Since they didn't respond I ended up just wiping what was potentially the only digital copies of their photos.  :-\

Maybe they didn't respond because they were.... dead?  And their pc was just sold off by relatives or the estate? 
(Unless you did purchase from them directly.)

I once bought a copy of the book Cosmos by Carl Sagan on eBay.  Tucked away inside was a very interesting letter from a woman to the owner.  She had given the book to this person as a gift, and reading between the lines of the letter it really seemed like they had some kind of love affair.    I found the letter quite touching and was fascinated by it.  I emailed the ebay seller, trying to find out a bit more info or if the letter was important to someone - but it turns out the seller had just picked it up at an estate auction.  Apparently the owner had passed away.   So a book about the Cosmos, that was once a token of potentially forbidden love between two people, was now in the hands of a stranger.  I felt a bit of profound sadness knowing that no one else in the world probably knew or cared about this significance.   I still keep that letter in the book to this day.  It seems fitting. 

Though, that sort of romanticism aside, if I were in your shoes I would just totally format those drives and not dig too deep to see what's on them.  Just my luck, it would be a bunch of **** pics or something. 



Humility/Conservatism/Temperance are tools invented by humans to divert and focus energy on things OTHER than primal instincts.


As technology provide ever greater time-resource to all individuals,  we the animal fall back into simple primal hedonistic loops..

That is because in face of incessant mental stimuli which (Press) the urges,  Self-Control is simply exhausted.



Not sure if this is good or bad,  but this is the best way to comprehend population aging and low replacement rate..  Most humans are not thinking further ahead when they can experience unlimited pleasure now.

I live in fear that my mini-USB port in the keyboard will break off one day due to rough handling!

I've broken the B ends of two USB cables on my Moon keyboard because the USB port is about 1mm lower than the base of my monitor stand; the slight height differential between the inserted portion of the plug and the external portion caused a break under the weight of the keyboard.
Maybe they're waiting for gasmasks and latex to get sexy again.

The world has become a weird place.
