I ask for counsel from the nerds of Thumped (1 Viewer)

If you genuinely owe the money, and you have it, I'd pay it. Take the pain once and move on.
I personally don't like storing up trouble for myself.
Are any of us going to live our whole lives without needing a FedEx delivery again?

If it's them playing silly buggers, I'd fight them

They tried to stiff me with 'admin charges' on a customs invoice and I told them to get fucked. Paid the tax but said I never requested your admin work.
Never heard back and have had fed ex deliveries since

 

[magicbastarder]

They had already delivered at that point?

Yeah. I think they pulled it twice with me. God knows how many naive people they get to pay it

I currently have 9 packages in Santry with fedex. I'm wondering how many of them they'll fuckup and I'll need to do extra work for, the count is actually already at 1 as they lost the invoice from the seller apparently.

Recently had a package with them that went missing and somehow travelled through Germany and France before it got here which is unusual as the normal fedex route for the supplier is Green Bay - Memphis - Gatwick - Santry - here.

what is "Disbursements out of the scope of EU VAT"?

Where did the package come from? Could be a Brexit thing.

A couple fo books I should have bought when I was there last year are now going to cost me over a hundred quid because I bought them online

Anyone know the quickest/easiest way of checking your PPS number?

I know my number, just don't know my government name

I go by the Irish version of my name, and I can't for the goddamn life of me remember if the name with Revenue/Dept of Social Protection is the Anglo or Hiberno name
Been on hold for forever here with Dept Social Protection

Hey older people. It's time for me to get new glasses..I expect. If I go to specsavers can I bring frames with me so they can put the new lenses in?

What is the procedure?

How big a request would it be to ask IT to giv me an extra email address?

Like my current email is firstinitialsurname@

And I would just like to tell people on the phone firstname@

Can I have both and still get all mails to one inbox?

What mail client do you use? Outlook? No issue there in having multiple accounts on one instance of a programme.

Or even something could be done to forward all of one mail address into the other before it even hits your computer.

Of course, there is the factor of the IT person hating you for requesting uneccesscery work,

 

[magicbastarder]

There may be a standardised email address format in place too. Many companies won't want a firstname@ format because that opens up too much 'competition' for the same email addresses.

This is the bit that I will have to finesse

I'm coming up on 15 years here so gonna couch it in that context
And assure her that I won't be telling everyone I have it so she's not inundated with similar requests

Working on an elevator pitch
Accepting already that it has a good chance of failure

Guys, I have another technical question

I am not a super smart man


How would it be possible to rip/download an episode from a radio website and then edit/clip the audio?

Like there was an episode of HUW Stephens last week and he had Adrianne Lenker on and they did a whole thing on time signatures before it

I want to get the full show and then clip it into just the pieces I want. Like in an mp3 or something.

Every bit of software I've tried to use is from China or Russia and I am afraid of malware.

If this is illegal, please DM

Thank you

Most straightforward way I can think of would be to do a screen recording on your phone of the audio clip, then see if your video software on your phone will allow you to rip the audio.

I saw a criminal doing that with an open source program called audacity once. I ran away tbh.
