Venting.

[KaiserSosay]

Running on two hours of sleep, zero coffee or food intake, the promise of a paycheck, and pure spite.

And not so much as a thank you. People suck.

 I wanted to reply and give you my sympathy immediately after you posted this.
I didn't because my first thoughts echoed Darth P's. "Did you join the military?  Must be the airforce or navy because you didn't mention people shooting at you!"  
  I'm sorry. It is my nature to be an Ahole.  I have felt the same  far to many times. You have my sincere sympathy!

 "The calendar may have changed, but it still feels like 2020".

The most accurate thing I've heard so far this year.

No military service for me. Anxiety and asthma would make for a poor candidate. Instead I support those more brave and able than I

You still might have made one heck of a drone pilot.

Funny you should mention I plan on getting my drone license this summer

Only going to become a more desirable/growing field commercially in the years to come...

People who get impatient with UltraSabers when the entire state of Texas is dealing with winter weather that most of it is COMPLETELY unequipped to handle, and when power in the state is unreliable at best...

Wow.

Too true, if anyone posted about being confused about any delays in the last 2-3 days... or for the next like 2-3 weeks, they obviously live under a rock or don't watch the news. For reference, Texas doesn't generally get snow annually! They are (obviously) one of the most southern states, with a largely arid almost desert or prairie climate. They see snow like once every 5-7 years and it's not generally across the whole state by any means. It certainly doesn't coat the ground for long, or persist for more than a few days/a week tops. So they don't have plows, salt stockpiles, and frankly the majority of it's residents don't have knowledge/experience generally required to drive proficiently in it (that's not a criticism, just a fact. It takes experience to accelerate and break efficiently/safely on snow and ice). So yeah, it's a bit self centered or naïve to be super concerned about your order status when people are without power, freezing, or getting in car wrecks amid this unnatural chaos. I suppose I could cut slack to the international crowd for being uninformed up to a point, but I'd think this craziness was enough to hit even international news to some extent, and oh yeah the internet.

One of the few occasions "Please excuse us the State is broken" is applicable.

No kidding; people are literally freezing to death in this craziness.  The last thing Ultrasabers needs is a bombardment of emails asking about orders.

True, but had I not been on this forum and went to look it up online afterwards, I wouldn't have known. Somehow, French media took their time to talk about that.

To be fair, unless it’s a slow news day, I wouldn’t expect the French media to cover this; other things affect the French people’s lives far more than ice and snow across a huge portion of the US.

True. But still. Explaining why they have trouble shipping/answering/working is the good method. Since all US customers do not live in the US/know about the situation in Texas. =)

It is a sad time when the state where I live makes news on the other side of the world for this kind of event.  2020 part deux

I've got a general gripe about watching series/movies online. I'm bothered by the people whom wrote out the titles for episodes (originally or on sites), the descriptions of movies/episodes before you watch them, and especially by the suggestions that pop up showing all these scenes from whatever it is. Meant to get you interested or "bait" viewers into watching but ultimately showing things that will happen. I mean it's just ridiculous sometimes! It's like they blatantly ruin plot points as you're loading up an episode... For vague example "last week on the show Terrance gets lost in the woods... what will happen?" or they make it look like he's dead and eaten by wolves. Then right off the bat, while the episode ends, or as the new one is loading... There is a preview of a happy reunion, a still shot of mom hugging her lost boy, or the dang title is Terrance returns or Reunited just spoiling the surprise, suspense, plot, or anticipation outright. It's just viciously annoying that such stellar script writing at times gets shamefully undercut by spoilerific missteps such as this. Like some people's lack of forethought or higher thought capacity can perpetually ruin the experience for every viewer interested in the story progression before it even has a chance to get going.

I was watching a series where this happened, and it made me turn it off immediately. I rage quit something I was seriously enjoying watching overall because this foolishness just sucked all the mystery out of what was unfolding. It's just a shame.

If its a show that aired first on television the titles are made for the studio/editors since the audience doesn't see them, of course that goes out the window once its put online/streaming.  Just do what I do (even though spoilers are not an issue for me)..don't even bother with previews and titles.
