If they tell you that you can send them all back, then what is the problem?

The discount thing discourages me even more though as it means they will lose money in the process.

Trust me, even though I raged hard about the problems, I still really want this monitor. Having checked out other monitors, this one is simply the best. Perfect merge of good colour, awesome black and refresh rate. More than amazing in general and well suited for gaming. It fucking spoiled me in terms of image quality, which is why I am willed to dig through 8 monitors just to get one that’s ok 
I used to work for Target.com, and most retailers really only give a shit if they are being intentionally deceived, or suspect it. People who make similar orders and claim that they only got one when the retailer has confirmation of delivery or things like that. If you are actually returning them, I doubt there would be issues.
Blacklisted customers are always fun to see.

I was going to start one, even did a blog about it, but real life got in the way. That and a shocking loss of passion. I don't think there is anything out there that is being kept current atm.
Though they aren't explciitly podcasts, The Late Game, or Remax probably have an audio format somewhere.

Does anyone here have experience with bearded dragons? Specifically how to get one to eat anything other than its favourite types of worm?
I'd really like to get him to eat crickets but he is content letting them run around his habitat as new roommates. I have experience getting a picky ball python to eat but I have to feed this lizard every day and my local pet shops charge an arm and a leg for phoenix worms/wax worms

Why on Earth would Gmail not allow read receipt and high priority? Who seriously thought this was a good idea?

If I personally made that choice, it would be because high priority emails, or people that mark emails high importance tend to abuse it and mark everything high importance regardless of content.
Read receipt you got me though, that would be nice.

I'm not too familiar with gmail but I'm pretty sure they have something for priority email, though the problem someone else mentioned is true too. Don't think there is a read receipt option though. Funny considering they had that on AOL 3.0

Ok, another question: can someone give me various example of how much is 2 Gb of internet per day?
I was thinking something about: how many youtube videos/ hours of stream on 360/480 / starcraft games / lol games etc.
I have no idea.

If I'm correct 5 minutes of 480x360 mp4 video is worth ~25 MB. So with some calculations it would mean with 2GB you can watch 6,66 hours of 480x360 mp4 video. Now keep in mind that I have no idea how compressed mp4 is compared to streams.

In case I'm not the only dragon owner here, the solution is apparently to just hit him with the mixup. I had his normal food ready but instead tossed a few crickets in there and he was so filled with bloodlust that he ate the crickets anyway

Wax worms are like candy. Is he eating his greens?
Also the size of the crickets can be an issue (should be fine if they are smaller than the distance between his eyes).
He could also be lazy and crickets may just put up more of a fight than he's interested in. He should be having a day when he doesn't get fed also, if he always has food available than he's less likely to pick stuff he doesn't prefer.
3 days with nothing to eat other than greens and crickets and I suspect they will become more appetizing. Could just starve itself out of spite though, Dragons aren't really domestic animals despite them fitting in cages and not regularly biting humans.
Takes longer than 3 days to starve though, especially if it's been eating mostly wax worms.

Yeah, I've been trying to get phoenix worms but they are so hard to find around here. I'm aware that wax worms are fairly fatty and not great for a staple and have been trying to switch him off. Yes he eats his greens and I treat him with bits of carrot and squash too.
Pretty glad he's on the crickets now since, like you said, he's been mostly eating junk food and collard greens

Do Bearded lizards like Oreos, or do they prefer Hydrox?

Mine will only eat double stuffed oreos and only if you take two of them and make a quad stuffed oreo. Incredibly costly having to buy twice as many oreos

Yeah, whenever people use high priority, large font, all caps and that kind of things, I usually start skimming and skipping things.
The train of thought is
1) The sender wants to make sure people read it.
2) That means the sender thinks there is a risk that people wouldn't read.
3) There's a reason why the sender thinks that people wouldn't read it.
4) Most likely reasons are:
4a) Sender thinks I don't care about the content.
4b) Sender knows/suspects that people tend to not read his/her emails.
5) Both 4a and 4b means that I shouldn't spend too much time on the email.
There is ofc the possibility of
4c) The content is actually important, and needs to be read asap.
But once 4c is ruled out, I usually assume 4a-b.

Marked high importance when I was dealing with customers was tantamount to, this isn't important ever. I just sent you an email introducing myself, in no way can your reply be of the utmost importance. If you really cared about whatever you're emailing me about, you'd call me. I'd still let it go to voicemail, but you'd call.
Those were the emails you just leave pretty much until the SLA was maxed out. The same people tend to treat email like chat, sending 5 emails in quick succession rather than writing a concise summary of what they need. I'm going to let you get all you have to get out, then address it in one email.

I didn't watch much of the muppets as a kid, and wasn't aware of the Swedish chef until I was adult. He probably wouldn't be called the Swedish chef in Sweden anyway.
When I did hear about it, it was some kind of mild confused amusement. "Umm, why Swedish? Well OK, sure whatever you want, lol..." I don't see many Swedish properties in him, so it feels a bit random.
