@jeffca51 I came here to say the same thing!

@Enigma me too

Odd, because I need some As and AAAAs.

@saodell Do you seriously still have something that uses size A batteries?

@jeffca51 +100000 this

@lichme and a-salt

@lichme booooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo (tossing peanut shells in your direction)

@lichme That joke sux as bad as MEH batteries... My son give me some he bought before Christmas... THEY"RE ALREADY CORRODED.

@webender i lost my 8$ rc helicopter today i bought it outside too much wind and now i think it stuck on a tree im not sure=(

@webender this.

@tz304608 That happened to my son's $100 chopper he got for Christmas from a relative. Now he gets $8 choppers from meh.

@studerc I'm usually the same way. I didn't check at midnight so when I woke up this morning I saw "Sold Out" and was sad, but then I saw it was batteries and I was relieved. I don't need them, but I probably would have bought them. I think that's what @unixrab really hates sometimes.

@studerc @RedHot It's not hate...it's pity... like watching an addict get their fix... meh

@RedHot No. @unixrab hates a good deal. I'm glad I had VMP or I wouldn't have participated in this deal because $10 is too much but $5 makes it an awesome deal.

@cengland0 have you purchased anything else during February?

@unixrab I think I bought a ton of things in February but the orders section gives me "Something went terribly wrong" so I cannot confirm.

Anyway, once you buy one thing, why not pay $5 for VMP instead of shipping and then you get 30 days of free shipping on anything else. If you do not do that, you risk the chance of having to pay shipping twice during the same month. It is only logical and I know you don't use logic when making decisions.

Even Amazon offers Prime for free shipping and many people pay for that option for more money annually than meh charges ($60). You can cancel at any time and get your money back if you don't use it. Can you do the same with Amazon?

@cengland0

Because - I do NOT want the temptation of VMP bait items. How many things (including the batteries today) did you buy that you did not immediately need because "it was a good deal"?

You can cancel at any time and get your money back if you don't use it.

I don't want to have to remember to cancel it - and I've already used it when I purchase the VMP for the first time...so that month is out of consideration - then I have to wait (and endure VMP bait) for the second month and cancel it to get my SECOND $5 back!

Even Amazon offers Prime for free shipping and many people pay for that option for more money annually than meh charges ($60)

The comparison to Amazon Prime is apples:oranges! Amazon has literally hundreds of millions of items for sale at any given moment! By contrast, meh.com has exactly 417 items forsale in the whole of 2015! ONE AT A TIME (except Tuesdays).

Further illustrating your ignorant comparison: Amazon Prime offers free TWO DAY shipping whereas my "$60 for VMP" get's me free 1?, 2? 3 week shipping! Now, go sit in the corner and think about what you've done.

@unixrab "Because - I do NOT want the temptation of VMP bait item" So that means you are not in control of your own weak mind. If you could think for yourself, you would only buy things you wanted and use logic instead. I'm glad you finally admit that you're weak and cannot think for yourself.

@cengland0 you bought the batteries (you didn't need), Spock - thanks for proving my point

@cengland0 do you put your seatbelt on when you drive?

@unixrab Actually, I did need the batteries or I wouldn't have purchased them. Duh.

Regarding if I wear my seat belt, the answer is yes. I don't have faith that god will save me in an accident. Do you put your seat belt on?

@cengland0 no

@ekw But Meh has only been here for some 223 days, less than a year...

@DJP519 maybe it wasn't meh? Gasp

@Nexar precisely.

@TBoneZeOriginal I haven't done any specific comparisons, but they seem good enough. I still have well over 100 from the last time they sold these.

@TBoneZeOriginal Not so helpful reply: None that my husband or I have been using have gone bad yet. We've been using them for a while in several devices (RC helicpoter, computer mouse, etc). /Shrug. They don't suck.

@jqubed holding an apple.

@duodec I bought some last time too, mine however have been duds. Of the 4 that I pulled from the box they were all dead. Luckily I bought the blue Toshiba. ones and they are true workhorses. These fujitsus are crap.

@Headly I would star this one hundred times if I could. I just don't understand using primary cells for 99% of (A)AA tasks…

@Headly I would normally concur with you, however: These are already produced... they WILL end in a landfill eventually... I have a baby at home and most of his toys suck these batteries in less than a week... so, the way I see it: Get batteries dirt cheap like these, and do the responsible thing by disposing them at a recycling center.... BTW Eneloops are great! im using them as I type (mouse, keyboard combo) but I tried using them with toys and let me tell you that the supply/demand with eneloops will never be on par. just my .02 cents

@Headly Because I have done real-life testing with Eneloop batteries and they are very inconvenient. Forget about having to charge them because that's not the issue. They die faster than a regular battery so you have to replace them frequently. Using them in a bluetooth mouse, I can get regular batteries to last a month but with Eneloop batteries, I'm replacing them at least once a week.

You might be saying, "so what" because you can recharge them. However, you need to have a complete backup set already charged and ready to go or your computer is useless. Then, the problem with those batteries going out right in the middle of an important presentation you're giving to the organization and you having to stop to replace the batteries. Quite embarrassing.

I have had Eneloop batteries leak inside the charger damaging it in such a way that I can only charge 3 batteries at a time.

They may claim 500 charge cycles but they cannot claim that each charge cycle gives you a full charge comparable to a regular alkaline AA battery.

@cengland0 We use them in everything and yes you're right, they don't last as long a Duracells, but They keep my Apple Trackpad going for about 3 months, and the logitech wireless keyboard and mouse last about 1.5 to 2 months. we keep a set of 4 or 6 charged, and when we need to replace we just pop the new ones in and then charge the other ones. It's a little less convienient, but not as incoivient as storing the disposables then trying to find a recycling place for them... A lot cheaper than using Duracells in the long run too. I've never had an eneloop leak. I'm sure they can, but that can happen with any battery. It's like an electric car vs gas powered car. YOu have to adjust your habits. You have to remember to plug the car in at night otherwise you will have a problem on tomorrow's commute. But in the long run it's cheaper and better for everyone. The eneloop pro has a capacity of 2400 mAh which is getting close to that of alkaline. THe ones we have are all 3rd generation and they seem to work pretty well. They also support 1,800 recharge cycles.

@Headly sorry for the types. Not going to try to fix them in this tiny edit box...

@jareza The old "these are already produced and will end up in a landfill anyway" has been debunked countless times. But just to reiterate, just because THESE [whatevers] have been produced doesn't mean that buying [whatever] won't have an effect on production; consumption drives production. Also, regarding the "it's inconvenient to recharge them" argument, I have one simple counterexample: smartphones. People put up with charging them daily (or multiple times a day) when they used to charge their phones once or twice a week. We've changed our habits. We can do it for batteries too (if we want to).

@Headly recycle AA batteries??

@unixrab I don't really want to drive 20 miles to recycle batteries. That's one of the main reasons we switched to eneloops. We used to have a collection center in town, but they closed down. I have a box in the garage that's filling with used batteries and CFLs. One day after I have replaced all the lights with LEDs and the last of the disposable batteries is dead, I will drop the whole mess off. At lease we have electronics recycling where I can get rid of LED bulbs and toasters...

@Headly weird... I just toss dead batteries in the trash. Is it some sorta law for your location?

@unixrab Not specifically, no. It is in California. It's a bad idea to throw batteries in the trash. Ditto CFLs. There are chemicals in there that should be recycled that you definately don't want in the ground water in even the most minute amounts.

@Headly As someone who also tries to recycle a lot, I would highly recommend this for your broken electronics of all sorts: https://www.ifixit.com/Info/Device_Donations

@Headly I totally agree that they shouldn't end up in a landfill, however batteries are one of the most appropriate things to recycle. Many rechargeables are full of heavy metals that shouldn't end up in a landfill and thankfully are valuable enough to warrant the reclaiming costs. Disposable batteries can and should be recycled as well. I know of some workplaces that offer free recycling of their employees' lead acid, alkaline, ni-cad, nimh, and li-ion batteries. You just toss them in a bin and they get shipped to a company that sorts them, shreds them, and reclaims the materials. (You have to put tape over the contacts so they don't cause a fire by shorting out during shipping, so not quite as easy as simply throwing them away). You may want to check online to see if there is a recycling place near you and if you have to you can always stockpile dead ones for a while in a ziplock, at least they don't take up too much space. As for rechargables, I was sold on nimh AA's. I tried both the Powerex and Duracell nimh rechargeables and just have too many devices that need batteries for it to be feasible to use rechargables in everything. Their self discharge issues and re-charging time made them less than ideal for my applications, such as smoke and carbon monoxide detectors, remotes, kids toys, kids toys, and kids toys. Plus more than once, family tried to throw them out when they were dead... I digress, I bought 120 of these because they work well (bought 80 last time), have a good shelf life, can be recycled when dead, and the price is right for the convenience they offer, but YMMV.

@mehdaf I have a stockpile of batteries and CFLs in the garage. The nearest recycling place other than the landfill is 20 miles. Once my box gets full I will make the trip. I'm very happy with my eneloop purchases so far.

@luxman hippopotamus

@JT954 at the price, I'm not sure it matters. Even if they last half of what the other brands do, it's well worth it.

@JT954 for your 360 controller they'll be fine, it's what I use mine for as well :D (alongside a few other things). Last long enough, of course it also depends on use etc.

Scratch that, I still have 60 of these exact batteries left, for a total of about 90 AA batteries. I've used 20 in 2 months. I think I'm set for a few more months.

@marvelljones I bought one of these, and one Toshiba, so I ended up with 80 for half price last time...

@unixrab Don't like infinte loops?

@andrewe1 cancel and reorder.

@TBoneZeOriginal Or just leave the original order and put in another order for 1. More fun to get more boxes on your porch.

@TBoneZeOriginal It's already sold out! wtf lol

@andrewe1 This is one of the reasons I switched to eneloops. To recycle I have to drive to the county landfill and wait in line, or drive 20 miles to a recycling center across town.

@Pavlov me so honry now

@irishbyblood is that like being too ornery to be horny?

@saodell its not like we're preventing anything from growing out there in the sand.

@hchavers they're, not there

@juststephen I blame autocorrect, and you for pointing it out.

@hchavers DAMN YOU AUTOCORRECT!! DAMN YOU TO HELL!!

@Dorkfish92 Same here!

@pitamuffin It was definitely faster than last time, what with the crash and all.

@phatmass Drink orange juice.

@SSteve I already got one order through. If I had been fast - would I have been able to order more than 1 order with 3 packs in each, or is the limit per customer and not per order?

@lakridserne The limit is per customer, so no, you wouldn't be able to order 9 unless you have other accounts too.

@greengalore 48,000 (1200 * 40)

@belowi I'm wondering where they got the extra $232 from... Seems like a weird numberr considering shipping is $5 - unless of course they calculate based on VMP memberships and how many orders a VMP memberr have put divided by $5 (that month)

@lakridserne Sales tax. That's where the "not $5 increments" came from.

@narfcake Oh right...

@irishbyblood Are we talking about the size of your girlfriend's dildo, or the size of your girlfriend's _?

@Cinoclav I think we can assume both are of the same approximate size as said DC powered appliance.

@irishbyblood My sympathies to you.

@Cinoclav Hotdog in a hallway.

@irishbyblood Time to upgrade to diesel power.

@Cinoclav It's exactly what I always imagined using a jackhammer would be like.

@Headly I was thinking solar, but it's cloudy here in the winter.

@irishbyblood Get something like these: 3xAA to D adapter

@narfcake Brilliant!

@pkillboredom @irishbyblood

@irishbyblood did you get her a Sphero? They're waterproof and this one has a cover with pleasure nubs.

@bludgeon We're still on traing wheels.

@ACraigL Name brand, but not top quality. They're selling the made in China Duracell, not the retail made in USA ones.

@narfcake Just trying to offer an alternative for those that are Fujitsu-depressed.

@ACraigL 100 batteries for $29.95 + $5 s/h = 0.3495 per battery. The ones from meh were 40 for $5 = 0.125. Big difference in price and even if they only last half as long, the meh batteries still win.

@unixrab What bait? Sure, they're only $5, but I didn't need them.

(Now if it was a shirt, then guilty as charged.)

@narfcake well done!
