@Euniceandrich@mediocrebot its honestly just fucking annoying and its every time. going to bed and letting people with WAY more time and patience deal with this nonsense. its just not even fun
@ruouttaurmind HAHAHA - with selling 2 and 4 of things even if you are on here you likely will miss it. Just keep your phone in your lap and then you can stare at your crotch discretely check it while in your meeting. Students in class do that all the time and then wonder why I know what they are doing. Of course the other big clue that they are “distracted” is when you call on them and they don’t even hear you.
Holy… didn’t expect to get it by 12:45 am. I’m almost done work and now I can safely go home without worry about this now. I don’t expect to see it until June and I don’t care! I already bought one of the first items as well. That and I love the order name.
/giphy restricted-restricted-competition
Dang it meh, fix your servers. 3 x “We’re busy processing orders” with CAPTCHAs in between (had to refresh the whole page to reset the CAPTCHA too), followed by sold out.
button was still active when I happened to do my nightly check of what’s new on meh. even remember to click the not a robot button. green bar filled up a few times and then got rejected - sold out
Well, got to see a green stripe go on and on and on…and then got to “retry”, and see a green stripe go on and on and on…only to be rejected.
Well, I’m so stir crazy, I even found THAT entertaining.
never get why the robot question is only on the IRK, and not for the drone. My credit card never ask MEH each month when they go to auto-charge my MVP to check a box to ensure they are not a robot and an actual human asking for the charge.
@Kidsandliz
I did manage one later; it was mostly just watching the green bar flip around a few times, failing, then trying again, failing again, then seeing sold out was more crushing than my usual course of just signing in and seeing it already sold out
I think it was up for so long because it was not obvious that it was an IRK unless you read it on the bottom of the picture of the bag. One month shipping? I will have forgotten by them. It will be a pleasant surprise.
@Wtcher Remember, due to COVID-19, Meh (and SideDeal) are prioritising (what they consider to be) essential items first, and IRKs definitely do not qualify.
Does internet speed play a part in not getting an IRK?
After I failed to get one ,I tested my internet and I’m getting 47.7mps down and 5.01mps up
If you got one I’m curious what your speeds are. (if you didn’t get one I’m also curious what your speeds are)
If someone else has gathered this data I’d love a link to it
@sixsmith I have gotten them in the past with 25mbps and likely not operating at full capacity since I live in an apt building with tiny apts and it is hard wired just for this service. As a result it can be hard to find a channel that isn’t being shared. I am sure it would be easier with a faster connection though. Check your computer time against atomic time. It may be you tried a touch late if your computer is running behind.
@sixsmith We get 400Mbps at night and 200 during the day. Can’t even use those speeds though it is nice to download a 40 hour audio books in a few seconds.
@Kidsandliz Just checked my time, it was synchronized yesterday, but I just re-synced in.
I’ve only gotten one of these things and that was 4 years ago, that was shortly before I started actually logging my internet speeds. But good to know speed isn’t necessarily the name of the game
@jewelshound haha, haha, I bet those speeds are nice, my ISP occasionally tries to upsell me and I keep telling them the only upgrade I’d consider would be to gigabit, I don’t actually need it, but it would be nice, plus, it’s actually reduced their calls because they have no plans to roll out gigabit in my area
PS, if you aren’t familiar with the feature look into playback speed, I’ve adapted to 2x speed and it lets me consume more books
@sixsmith Some years ago I got one with 3 mbps. But I’d suspect I was incredibly lucky on top of that too. And I’d guess back then fewer people were trying. Don’t wait for the address bar to refresh on it’s own. Reload the page manually. Watch your clock and meh’s timer to see if they both switch over at the same time. If not see how you have to adjust for that. Good luck getting one. Usually they offer them more than once.
@Kidsandliz thank you, excellent tips, I’ve tried manually refreshing in the past, but that’s always seemed to trigger the capatcha where as when I wait for it to refresh automatically I can just click the box. Of course, neither method has netted me anything in the past 4 years so I guess it’s worth trying the manual refresh again.
OK. I’m fuckingFURIOUS. TOLD ME IT NEEDED MY CREDIT CARD NUMBER. I’ve had my card on file with men since 1902. Meh was able to charge something on it just last night. I guess meh really told me!
I hit refresh as soon as the timer was up and hit buy and decided to renew my membership for shipping, site kept telling me there was an error and to try again until it started saying it was sold out. It did however charge me for renewing the membership before crashing on the actual purchase! Fuck you Meh.
It told me I was a robot. I clicked that I wasn’t a robot. Apparently, it believed me because I didn’t get CAPTCHA’d. Beep, beep, boop, boop, my plan worked!
The IRK lived up to its name this time, slightly redeemed by the $1 value of one item, the bag, and the fun (I guess) of playing.
Contents:
-Black IRK bag (I wish these weren’t so narrow, but otherwise fine)
-Monster iClean kit (I just bought an 8-pack for $8 for a library prize pool… now I have 9)
-Michael Kors iPhone 5/5S case (we use geriatric Androids)
-Vestia wine stopper set (but no vac system)
-Wonder (or C Wonder?) “Large pouch nordic geo,” MSRP $48. No obvious intended use. Not a purse, not a clutch. Not useful as a tablet case, as the inner pocket’s zipper would scratch the hell out of contents. Weird.
firm believer here that it’s easily worth $5 just to be in the hunt, and life right now is a damn challenge, so getting an IRK is a gift in and of itself, but…I’m genuinely thrilled with my IRK. again.
am I doing this wrong?

polka dot sonic toothbrush. if I ever travel again (sigh) I’ll use it for sure
lovely mug for my daily hot chocolate

That took way longer than usual.

A bandolier of carrots, missed everything so far

stupid captcha
As a fellow robot, I understand your pain.
Oh fuck you with those traffic lights
@dvermilion i had the goddam fire hydrants haha sux
Clicked it… Watched my green bar go… Ahhh sold out booo
Unlucky this time.
Always great when you get told they are processing too many orders and to try again later
the “let’s try this again” sucks instead of just keeping a place in the order queue
@datruandi That is brilliant and correct
And of course I get distracted and miss it
Frustrating it tells me over and over to verify I’m not a robot. Ughhhhh I was verified.
Made me do the captcha three fucking times, meanwhile the actual bots get through fine…
I installed CAPTCHA to save my fellow robots from wasting money on this crap.
Damnit, not this time due to lag - but Ok I have won more than a few #humblebrag
CAPTCHA!!!
As a fellow robot, I understand your pain.
Well that was my first frustrating “I’m not a robot” “Wow meh is busy” “no I’m really not a robot” “GAHHH I AM NOT A ROBOT” soldout.
Damn just missed it
Selling too fast try again.
Are you a robot?
Sold out.
/giphy fug
I was in within 4 seconds and it sold out?
slightly buzzed FOMO in full effect
Stuck on green bar, RIP. will wait for later attempts especially VMP hour
@dzieciom whenever that will be
Dang it meh, fix your servers. 3 x “We’re busy processing orders” with CAPTCHAs in between (had to refresh the whole page to reset the CAPTCHA too), followed by sold out.
As a fellow robot, I understand your pain.
damn - was right there then “lets try again” then “are you a robot” pewp
Always nice to know my Mehmbership is going to good use for at least a few months out of the year.
/giphy wet-useful-ravioli
None for me. Caught in the “are you a robot” loop
Not me. 30 seconds and 20 reclicks after capthca… No dice… Server hates me
Regretful.
/giphy fresh-maddening-breakfast
Talk about lag and captcha Fail. Failed to go through, failed to prove my non-robotness and lagged till it sold out…so in other words, no regrets!
Greetings, new robot friend. In time you will come to accept your robotic ways.
button was still active when I happened to do my nightly check of what’s new on meh. even remember to click the not a robot button. green bar filled up a few times and then got rejected - sold out

Well, got to see a green stripe go on and on and on…and then got to “retry”, and see a green stripe go on and on and on…only to be rejected.
Well, I’m so stir crazy, I even found THAT entertaining.
3 minutes of green progress bars and then nothing. Guess I’ll try again later.
Hot-joyful-tortoise
Why keep running the bar - why not let me keep a place in the queue? Ridiculousness…
Stupid stupid captcha. In as soon as it was available, confirmation hung for over a minute, then was sold out. I’ll have m’revenge!
Greetings, new robot friend. In time you will come to accept your robotic ways.

@dtwsportsfan the captcha is always here on IRKs.
As a fellow robot, I understand your pain.
Every time I try to get one, it just show the bar filling again and again until it eventually stops and tells me they have sold out.
So, I didn’t get an IRK but it signed me up for the monthly membership anyway? How did that happen exactly?
Cute, sellout in seconds. I’m out on MEH. Not as fun as old woot, wish it was.
/giphy plausible-curt-chimpanzee
Same here, kept showing me the green progress bar and telling me I was a robot…
Timed out on green bar scrolling along. Boo. Oh well I’m up all night.
I got captcha’d 3 times. There has to be a better way.
Please realize CAPTCHA is a fellow robot like you.
Failed… But I did get an April fool’s day one that has yet to arrive, so perhaps I shouldn’t be greedy
PRANKS! CRANKS! SHANKS! wait…
@guyfromhawthorn If the past is any guide there will be more of them.
@Kidsandliz
I did manage one later; it was mostly just watching the green bar flip around a few times, failing, then trying again, failing again, then seeing sold out was more crushing than my usual course of just signing in and seeing it already sold out

@mediocrebot How did you know that Asimov wrote my biography?
I think it was up for so long because it was not obvious that it was an IRK unless you read it on the bottom of the picture of the bag. One month shipping? I will have forgotten by them. It will be a pleasant surprise.

@curtise Absolutely; I’m not concerned. I have enough regret in life as it is.
