People knowing about (and using) torrents are not required to be tech-savvy. They just need to know how to install a torrent client and click on stuff. Slightly smarter people use private trackers, no TPB stuff.
What would be the software availability? My Steam library has around 200 games, out of which exactly three have VR support. I am not interested in VR tech demos (like those 5 minute "spiders everywhere" games) nor VR porn (can't for the life of me get used to looking down and seeing a differently colored dick).
Thank you - that's exactly what I meant. It's like this:
I have 5 dollars. There's someone I know, a neighbor, in need of 1000 dollars, and I can contribute with 5. And then there's Puerto Rico, 10K miles away, in need of 5 billion dollars, and I can contribute with 5.
My choice is to ignore Puerto Rico and give the 5 dollars to my neighbor.
Because you AGREED with the delivery person on a date and time and you weren't there. Or have it delivered at a neighbor, at work, etc. Or even have it thrown on your lawn and support possible consequences. Your choice:)
It's irrelevant. A town with nothing around for hundreds of miles should have a local parcel center, even if it's a small room with shared purpose, like "local bar backroom". For only 2 dollars extra, pick this option and there you go, problem solved.
- If you live in a densely populated area, local pick-up centers should be no problem. - Small town? Arrange with the local bar/church/school/mayor's office to share a room and an employee and take care of that. - Living in a farm out in the middle of nowhere? Build a shack and have the deliverer drop the parcel there, it's not as if there's 10 people an hour passing by, ready to steal your parcel.
Seriously, why are we even debating this? Solutions always exist.
Seriously though, I assume it's many pages of typing machine written documents, scanned and saved as.TIFF files. Probably something like 20-25K pages of shit.
How about "not leaving the parcel wherever the fuck the delivery dude feels like"? Before delivery, contact the recipient and establish a time window when they (or someone they empower) are home. Then go and deliver the parcel during that window. Owner's not home? Coolio. Notify them through text or whatever and have them go to the local pick-up warehouse.
Somehow this method works very well in most of EU. In my country, the delivery company has to provide proof they delivered the parcel into my hands, otherwise I could file a claim and they would have to pay for the declared value of the parcel. I'm simply amazed this is not a thing in the USA.
It's not the ocean, it's the hundreds if not more issues closer to me which I could donate to. Last week we gathered money to help a neighbor whose daughter died - he didn't have enough money for the funeral. Puertoricans on the other side of the globe need to wait their turn.
I admit I didn't give a flying fuck. Reasons: - I can't provide meaningful help anyway, living on a different continent an ocean apart; - There are other things closer to me which need to be prioritized higher. - There seems to be more than enough people offering help there anyway.
With that being said, I don't expect anyone from PR, US or wherever to give a flying fuck when my country is struck by disaster.
No. The only thing that matters is that the customer was made right. He got his "eye" in the real biblical sense of the term. Nothing else really matters at that point.
Um, I'd argue that whether the shady seller still got his money and therefore has a great incentive to continue his shady business DOES matter.
That means nothing. Amazon might have eaten the costs and the seller could have walked away with the money. Sure, that seller would have been banned from Amazon... until they created a new seller account and did it again.
In retrospect I should have been more detailed in my answer.
What I meant was: a bar conversation doesn't usually require a quiet environment to take place, because it doesn't take large amounts of brain power. Work, on the other hand, does. There's a reason you can't develop code in a bar (other than the availability of alcohol). It's the need to focus and not be interrupted.

I will not leave a will, because I laugh inside just at the thought of my family bickering about who should inherit my shit.
Thank you - that's exactly what I meant.

Amazingly, that "bullshit" works in the EU very well. I wonder why.
Because you AGREED with the delivery person on a date and time and you weren't there. :)
Or have it delivered at a neighbor, at work, etc.
Or even have it thrown on your lawn and support possible consequences.
Your choice
So? If you weren't there during the agreed pick-up period, be ready to drive for an hour. Maybe next time you'd fulfill your part of the agreement :)

What I meant is "because of the distance" - meaning there are more important issues to attend to closer to home.
It's not the ocean, it's the hundreds if not more issues closer to me which I could donate to.

You forgot the ones who only have humility. What, you can't connect to them? :)

Could be a part of a deal made with the EU: "remove previously installed WMP to become compliant" or whatever.

What happened to shirley's other limbs?
I assume shirley is a pet of sorts, or a doll, judging by "it" instead of "she".
...because it was bundled in the first place and now they unbundle it, so-to-speak.
I'd wager the reason is the (still ongoing?) Microsoft Litigation with the EU around bundling Windows Media Player with its OS.

Also, "believe in me".
After all, it's what created all religions.

Yeah that works very well in Wikipedia... but for references.
