- @Kyser_Soze This is the first IRK I’ve got using my trash reclaimed laptop. It was thrown away and looks like crap! I cleand it up a bit, threw in a new ssd and loaded it with Linux Mint. My daughter is using my laptop with MS Office, so I’m using the junker, and it’s working!

Not sure what I’m doing wrong.
I check the box only humans can check, hit buy.
I get the scrolling green bar of doom.
It times out and says try again.
open a new window, hit buy again
again, check that i’m human.
hit buy, scrolling… sold out.

grr.

My St. Pat’s IRK arrived today. I am truly underwhelmed.
- Some sort of purse; too bad it’s not purple
- A facial brush; might use this out in the shop for dusting things off
- A USB wall charger that I will trust to recharge flashlights. Maybe.
- A nose hair trimmer. For big noses, it would appear. How’d y’all know?
- A spiffy green bag, nearly worth the price of admission!
