@ruouttaurmind@sammydog01 I missed out on these, because the dog wanted to be fed and then walked. But it’s not a bad thing, I really didn’t need them.
@Barney I use them all the time in my business though. I just ordered a box of 2,000 checks in February. That will probably last me until Thanksgiving.
You know I think i might be at least part robot. Just yesterday I was opening my 2 pack of monster power strips and considering all the many power items in my pile from meh. I discovered 8 lipstick usb chargers and 4 emergency lights with built in phone chargers. Who knows how many more things I have bought and forgot since the dawn of meh.
@DLPanther oh yeah I forgot the outlet plug that has 3 outlet plugs and 2 usb, and the outlet plugs with 2 plugs in each side that was supposed to detect if a device was being used that almost worked, and that one time I bought a gross of AA batteries that almost didn’t explode
This might have been record fast delivery of a Meh order for me. Bought Monday, 4/1/2019, near end of business day in Meh-RATHON VMP hour (4-5pm), delivered Friday, 4/5, same week.
Seem to be solidly built. Collapsable prongs + 100-220 volt 50/60Hz good for travel.
Voltage across 4 USB ports (two devices) tested OK at 5 volts +0.09/-0.05 volts, under less than 0.5 Amp load.
Didn’t have a discharged device handy to test the claimed 2.4 Amp current capacity.
Not that we really needed these, but at a buck each, why not?
I haven’t paid a lot of attention, but it seems like the hybrid methods can sit in the transition point or a day or so… or can do some really odd zig-zag routes on the way, even more so than with a single shipper.
@Goodge We aren’t the right kind of VMP’s. This hour is for those who came in the before time and continue to tow the Mediocre line. We shall never be enough to be considered part of the chosen but must bear witness to their trials and triumphs.
@BerMM You are (maybe the first) person in here with this question who actually is a VMP.
It sold out long ago. I’m not sure why you’re seeing the Except for VMP part unless you weren’t signed in. But mine just says Sold Out - there are no more.
@medz Feeling rather hijacked - and it looks like the same is felt by many on this page - I would like to know when and why was my VMP status changed? It was something I was glad to pay each month for
@jmhsrv Sure. I would assume at some point your payment method on file expired or otherwise stopped working. These days, you’ll get an email if that happens. In the olden days, they didn’t have email notifications set up for such things. Contact support and they should be able to look at your account history to see when the last charge for VMP was made, when it expired, and when you started paying for normal membership.
@jmhsrv@medz This is why I asked to keep my VMP badge instead of my Goat Emeritus badge. I’m paranoid that it will fail to renew and I will go blissfully unaware of my status if I have a dead goat hiding that fact.
@uninflammable Ah. I was VMP at one time, and let it lapse. I confess to not following the discontinuation of it, or the distinction, until this moment. Got it, thanks.
@dino2269 not safe at all. 223 (now) sold, with multiples included, and not all VMPs bought.
So the only safe assumption is that there are more than 227 VMPs left. And probably quadruple that clicking the button asking why it won’t let them buy.
Membership ≠ VMP
@Ignorant You should have someone put that on the sale page.
MEH - not USB C
Was going to say not even at 2 bucks.
But suckered in. Yep at 2 bucks, I feel both helpless and regret at the same time.
/giphy helpless-tyrannical-regret
… and as that giphy shows, Meh is dumping all their crap and making us pay them to accept it.
@RedOak I regret that I keep watching this and laughing. Gotta kick this schadenfreude thing.
I have no idea why I bought these.
@ruouttaurmind You know exactly why you bought them. Two bucks.
@ruouttaurmind @sammydog01 I missed out on these, because the dog wanted to be fed and then walked. But it’s not a bad thing, I really didn’t need them.
@Barney Did you know if you got yourself a cell phone you could keep up on the meh-rathon even when you’re walking the pup.
@ruouttaurmind Wow! Really? But look at all of the money I’m saving.
@Barney I’ll PayPal you the two bucks next time.
@ruouttaurmind Thank you so much, mister big spender.
@ruouttaurmind On second thought, would you write me a check?
@Barney I’m sorry, but I don’t even own any personal checks. I wrote my last one… cripes, maybe 10 years ago. I never bothered to order more.
@ruouttaurmind Yeah, I figured that much.
@Barney I use them all the time in my business though. I just ordered a box of 2,000 checks in February. That will probably last me until Thanksgiving.
I’ll buy anything for two bucks. Anything.
@sammydog01 how about a bag of dicks?
@jzmacdaddy If you’re selling I’m buying.
I like UBS ports
@gsrivast bot is under alot of stress and using all his memory taking over meh… silly ol bot!

@DLPanther It’s easy to check. Just look up your past orders under your account icon…
These are the times that I’m glad to still be VMP.
/giphy funky-blurry-back
These will come in handy at the ER I work in to help recharge phones for patients that we discharge that need to call their rides …
@chienfou stop using patients’ phones. Not cool.
Edit: Ooooh discharge as in release from the hospital not drain their phone charge… gotcha
@medz
Dollar store comes to meh. (or vice-versa?)
I like it!
These are probably too meh to safely charge my expensive devices. But I got plenty of meh devices to charge.
That was harder to buy than an IRK.
/giphy adventurous-aspiring-bedbug
@djslack No doubt… I didn’t get one. I blame the non-VMPs for clogging the order process.
Still pissed that I lost my vmp because some prick stole my wallet and I had to cancel my card right before my subscription renewed
/giphy angery
@uninflammable Did you check with customer service? They can help out with stuff like that.
@sammydog01 no, but this was also like 9 months ago so it’s a bit late for that
@sammydog01 @uninflammable
Yah, @uninflammable, your VMP was burned up long ago.
@RedOak [inarticulate screaming]
Silly bot:
“Each has a to UBS ports”
I screwed up and thought it said $12. Woulda grabbed otherwise real quick. Note to self wear my glasses…

@RedOak the parcel select mail might be better than sure post. Who knew.
@RiotDemon confusing. But I’m sure it helped that Meh got the package going out the door quickly as well, 8am the next morning (4/2).
BTW, Texas to the state with the second-longest shared border with Canada after Alaska (and longest Great Lakes shoreline).

Not fast charge
@heartny they’re literally a dollar a piece, WHEN WILL YOUR THIRST BE QUENCHED
@uninflammable Will be quenched when they are fast charge. Already have a gazillion slow charge.
I’m confused, I have VMP but it’s telling me this is only for VMPs when I try to buy it? It even says "shipping: free (because you’re a member).
@Goodge same
@Goodge Ok, cool so I’m not the only one…
@Goodge me too
@Goodge Me too
Not good.
@blackfaerie73 @Goodge members are not vmp.
@Goodge you are a member, just not VMP according to your ‘badge’
@Goodge That’s because you may not be VMP. @mediocrebot is stupid in general but not with these things
@Goodge @TheDonFelipe Heart-badge members are not VMP members.
@Goodge Me too!
@Goodge We aren’t the right kind of VMP’s. This hour is for those who came in the before time and continue to tow the Mediocre line. We shall never be enough to be considered part of the chosen but must bear witness to their trials and triumphs.
@Goodge You’re a Member, not a Very Mediocre Person.
@Goodge You are a member, not a VMP (compare our badges). The VMP program is no longer to new members.
@Goodge @rpstrong I’m getting the same thing. Sold out except for VMP, which I am. ???
@BerMM @Goodge @rpstrong they are currently sold out. VMP has nothing to do with that.
@BerMM You are (maybe the first) person in here with this question who actually is a VMP.
It sold out long ago. I’m not sure why you’re seeing the Except for VMP part unless you weren’t signed in. But mine just says Sold Out - there are no more.

@bfg9000 @salpo You’re not either.
@bfg9000 @sammydog01

@pacoffeegirl Yes. It’s almost over.

@medz Oops, sorry. We’re sold out.
boo…sold out immediately
Telling me Im not a VMP memeber and I have been once since day one. Also had to re-sign up last night for VMP because it thought I wasnt -
@jmhsrv your profile shows you’re a plain ol’ member since March 2019
https://meh.com/@jmhsrv
Shouldn’t have let VMP expire, bruh.
@jmhsrv it’s not vmp anymore, it’s membership.
@jmhsrv If your VMP elapses, you can’t sign up for it again. They offer Membership instead now.
@medz I never let if expire - if it expired it was not by my doing - I have had auto pay since the day I sarted as a kick start member
@jmhsrv… yes… even for kickstarters…
@jmhsrv you could try contacting support with your sob story, but since you’re just a lowly member, don’t expect any special treatment.
@medz Feeling rather hijacked - and it looks like the same is felt by many on this page - I would like to know when and why was my VMP status changed? It was something I was glad to pay each month for

Site wouldn’t allow me to buy even though I’m a member, and now they’re gone. smh
@windfish113 You’re a Member, not a Very Mediocre Person.
@windfish113 they must have screwed your VMP up as well
Also got bit with the VMP bug. What gives?
@kfdavila you’re a member, not VMP
VMP is old-school membership
@uninflammable Ah. I was VMP at one time, and let it lapse. I confess to not following the discontinuation of it, or the distinction, until this moment. Got it, thanks.
Just barely got it!
/giphy smooth-historical-room
who do i have to troll to become a vmp member
@sliksetroc Doc Brown would be a good guy to start with.
@sliksetroc ain’t happening, sorry.
@sliksetroc
It might be fun to see you try… but no, don’t bother trying.
227 of those sold so is it safe to assume there are only 227 of us vmp’s left?
@dino2269 no, because some of you ordered more than 1 so I didn’t get any
@dino2269 at least 227. There’s more that bought irks earlier.
@dino2269 not safe at all. 223 (now) sold, with multiples included, and not all VMPs bought.
So the only safe assumption is that there are more than 227 VMPs left. And probably quadruple that clicking the button asking why it won’t let them buy.
@dino2269 Not everyone will buy something they don’t need because it’s two dollars. Just special weirdos like us.
What is VMP?
@francies40 it existed before membership.
@francies40 old retired Membership program, you’ll notice the people with a V inside their shield those are VMPs, a heart in the shield is a Member.
@francies40 Voldemort’s Man Panties
@francies40 @Ignorant I wasn’t aware of that. Thanks
@warpedrotors
Nah, I’m pretty sure it stands for Voldemort’s Massive Pe… <insert dramatic pause and crowd gasping sound fx> …rsonality.
Can I sell my VMP to an unsuspecting member?
/giphy Miss the old days
@MrMark
Yes. But I recommend wiping your address, email, & credit card info from your account first.
Use these bad boys to prop up your phone as you charge it
I think I bought these…
I got the confirmation popup, but it doesn’t show in my orders. No confirm email either.
