I don't think they are. When the parent commenter said reserved for pickup, I assumed they meant some way to say "hold these at the counter for me to come purchase". What I am saying is that in my experience, you are making a

I feel like I'm using a different homedepot.com than everyone else on this thread. I'm not aware of an option to reserve things for pickup at the store, only to purchase them and pickup at the store. Every time I have done this th

I'm really surprised to hear so many horrible experiences with Home Depot ordering online. Over the past 2-3 months I have placed multiple orders for things that are shipped to my house, and that has gone off without a hitch. I've

Maybe not the type of items you are shopping for, but I just ordered a sink and faucet from build.com and got free 2-day delivery.

It's also just a fun activity to do with children to keep them occupied since schools are closed.

The problem is that the media often does lie to us or at least cherry picks the bits that align with their narrative. It’s basically become a boy who cried wolf kind of situation. Many in the mainstream media have cried wolf so frequently t

New Seasons Markets in Oregon and Washington are doing all these steps as well.

Agreed. Or an additional option is to let businesses fail. The value of a viable business doesn't instantly go away just because they are insolvent. Let another better managed company buy up the failed company.

And that is certainly your prerogative to do. My family is getting takeout a few times a week to support our favorite local restaurants. Just providing a counter point that there is still money going into some restaurants (although I'm

I don't think photography depends on travel. I bought a Nikon Z6 at Christmas time this year. My main use is to take pictures of my kids. I'll still be doing that regardless of if we are on a trip to Europe or hanging out in the b

Thank you for saying this, it's been bothering me for days. Sure all of us computer people can lock ourselves in our houses for long periods of time. Some of us, like me, have already been doing that for years, but there are so many jo

If the immunity period is unknown/short then isn't there some logic in trying to build heard immunity amongst the entire lower risk group before the immunity would be lost. If we shut everything down for a bit, then start returnin

It's also just a disturbing use of language. Human beings are social creatures and derive a ton of benefit from our relationships with other people. If anything we should all be coming together socially to support each other through a

How long do young healthy people, who have been put out of work by shutdowns put up with this? Some number of weeks seems workable, but until 2021?

Your not wrong, but it's also a bit depressing that we live in a world where giant companies can just wait until they see something becoming successful enough and then use their essentially unlimited resources to copy it and put the or

This isn't exclusively an Indian outsourcing issue. I used to do work for a small US based contracting company. At the time I was mid to senior with about 10 years experience. On all projects they would present me to the client as the

This is a fantastic idea. It's kind of the opposite or at least going in a tangential direction from something like Wirecutter. Instead of recommending the solution that will be merely adequate for the majority of people you would reco

Would it? Seems like a lot of Wrangler owners are either people who strap extra gas canisters to their vehicle for extra range in adventure scenarios OR people that at least want to think they have the option to do so (not meant as an insul

Also the ability to drive the truck, at least to some degree from controls at the back of the truck. In my neighborhood there are too many parked cars to be able to let the robotic arm do everything. I often see the driver at the back of th

Unfortunately no. Had I realized this companies return policy, I never would have shopped with them.

by markkanof 7y ago
Agreed with all the examples you list. The flip side though is I have been dealing with a clothing company (Zanerobe) who's return policy is store credit only. The main problem with that is their product line is really small, so basica

Yes, it is like eBay in the sense that you really have no idea what you might actually get. However, Amazon still has an excellent return/refund policy, which in some cases makes up for the inventory issues.

I think you might be surprised how little of a deterrent surveillance cameras are to package theft. This likely depends on where you live, but in many cities the police won't really do anything about thefts in the value range of a typi

If you look into power over ethernet surveillance cameras there are lots of options that are standalone devices not associated with any specific cloud service. You then have to get some software that can receive the stream from the camera a

Unless there is actually a build up of high pressure steam being created by this heating it still should be mitigated by a properly plumbed building.

Thanks for the first part of your response. Those uses seem potentially interesting. The second part of your response is somewhat frustrating though. It absolutely does matter what the tax is used for. This can’t just be an excuse for the t

Where does this carbon "tax" go? For example if the U.S. federal government imposed this tax it's just gets paid to the government to use on whatever?

There are a lot of things that government spends taxes on that many of us don't agree with. Better to spend that money employing someone providing a useful service than contributing to fund things that you find immoral, such as fightin

You might get tired of it, but it's a pretty strong argument. If I know what real bacon tastes like then eating some vegetarian facsimile of bacon is going to lead to massive disappointment and drawing the conclusion that eating vegeta

In my personal experience with Fedex while living in multiple cities, it seems like they aren’t enthusiastic about residential deliveries at all. Delivering to the wrong address, throwing fragile items over a fence, putting packages in hard
