the tale of the kawaii baby little moth plushie
To recap, I ordered this at the beginning of December from a storefront I didn't immediately recognize as suspicious because I was too excitable about a plush moth. Two weeks later, my one other braincell caught up and noted how many red flags there were, and I filed for a refund (which I got) based on the fact that the tracking number was not recognized as valid by any ePacket tracker.
On the 26th of January, to no fanfare at all, the tracking number apparently came to life and the shipment made its way over, despite me having disputed the order and obtained a refund.
A few days ago, the storefront sent out an email saying they were supposedly hacked, which was an obvious excuse for them terminating the domain name and moving on.
Now, when I received it, I had a moment of conscience and wanted to pay them what was owed--which was apparently $5 USD + S&H based on the customs form, rather than the $35 they charged--but since they don't exist in their current form anymore, I can't really do that. Can't say I didn't try.
aaaaaand I just realized I posted all that for the sake of being indexed by search engines... without setting the posts as public. whoops!
Today's been interesting. Guess what showed up?
Plush looks kinda weird so putting it as sensitive
my old solder was probably decades past its expiry and was just not wetting anymore
tfw you suddenly remember one of the oldest tricks in the book for desoldering a week after struggling with shit

indigenous land destruction, current, action links
"A Judge. In 2021. Just said it was the right of the US to extinguish Indian title by treaty or SWORD.
When Natives say the system’s anti-Native. We mean it. To this day US enforces laws specifically attacking & discriminating against Natives.
And it’s allowed b/c we’re ignored."

Okay so maybe I got my hopes up a little early. I might have to fiddle with my IOMMU stuff again before I can get windows running
caps, computer troubles
GODDAMMIT ZOOM.
I should just focus on updating my system and fixing whatever inevitably breaks.
Maybe nothing will! Maybe the extant issues would just be fixed. How lucky would I be for that
