Amazon must have too much unused data center capacity.

Thanks for reminder. I often leave >$100 stuff in my cart for a week because I usually get a better buy offer since retail wankers all have a focus on trying to move carts to purchase.

1 use MVS link to load cart
2 wait for a week for offer
3 get offer
4 empty cart, wait requisite CPU cycles
5 reload cart
6 buy now !

It's a bit laborious* but I do it to things outside that 24 hr window.

Copy item name
Remove item in cart
Go to MVS and click MVS-Amazon icon (fires new Amazon page)
Paste item name (search) and add to cart

I'm allowed to buy stuff with my discount (generally 4% of item pricing).

* a Colorado gold miner from 100 years ago would look at me and say "You mean to tell me you tap a metal box with a screen a few times and say that's 'a bit laborious'?"

This is excellent to have around. It vaporizes weeds (1:1 with water), it's a very good cleaner, and it's amazing at killing odors. I've had my gallon since June and it gets used.

I dilute it 1:1 or greater for everything. It's very strong.

This book was excellent: Project Hail Mary.

A little E.T., a little Apollo 13. Themes: DIY, the scientific method, friendship, loyalty. There is quite a bit of science in this one.

5/5 wrench rating

and here I figured "Amazon" was an early production name for a 122 ! Volvo ran into a legal issue becaue there was a bicycle manufacturer of the same name, thus the name 122 or 122S

I needed a shirt for a wedding two weeks ago, bought this. Great fit, nice fabric, sizing was perfect. 5/5 wrenches.

I bought one of these in August. It's a bag. It holds my towel/jeans/sunglasses when I go to the rec center. It holds things like bags do. It looks good despite living its life as a bag. https://amzn.to/48xpAXa
