Not really defending Amazon, but that’s not really shenanigans either. If you’re expecting 100% completely free shipping without prime, they’re going to wait to send it with a more cost efficient larger shipment to your region while prioritizing prime orders. Sometimes the distant warehouses are used even with prime because that’s where those items are, they don’t keep them stocked everywhere, especially when they process third party orders. I can easily expect to wait 2 weeks or more for something if I don’t pay for shipping.

Everything worth seeing can be torrented anyway. I canceled a year ago and haven’t noticed a loss of anything as long as any orders are over $35 for free shipping.

I have the GL.inet Beryl router, absolutely the best addition to my travel tech. I’ve considered upgrading to a newer model for faster vpn for torrents, but this can still easily run off a 2.4v usb battery pack and handles everything reasonably.

sorry, I have no idea. I’ve never had an account, only used it before accounts were required, then got locked out and keep missing the open reg windows. Assuming I have the right url, it’s demonoid.is

No, it’s still there. They had registrations open a couple of months ago but I missed it.

Piss Screen of Death?

edit: oh nvm, I mistakenly thought this was in reply to the suggestion for dark yellow.

That almost sounds soothing.

They could have gone with the “Red Screen of Wrath” or something.

Seems like some kind of sacrilege.
