@Ignorant @lichme
If only @wootstalkerbot included a feature to search for active deals watching a search term.
Oh… Wait…
That didn’t end well.
/wootstalker https://home.woot.com/offers/natural-red-pine-cones-4
Natural Red Pine Cones for $0.50 (New)
I bought this, just because it’s crazy that I can buy something and get it shipped to my house for $0.50.
[edit] $0.52 with tax.
@dave
I got a $5 coupon, and was REALLY tempted to buy 10 of these pine cones so that I could make Woot loose out.
I’m kind that way.
@dave @PlacidPenguin Lol Limit 3 per customer
@dave @lichme
Buying 3 packages is a waste of my time.
Buying 10 packages, however, is not.
@dave Didn’t JonT get a bunch of PVC fittings because wedding registry be damned, those were the cheapest items Amazon shipped free with prime?
@dave @narfcake @JonT @marklog

@PlacidPenguin was there a YouTube video?
@RiotDemon
Dunno.
@PlacidPenguin sad.
@PlacidPenguin @RiotDemon I think there was a Periscope. Do those survive?
@RiotDemon @sammydog01
So… I found the follow up thread.
https://meh.com/forum/topics/live-on-periscope-jont-opens-wedding-gifts
The Periscope video, I am sorry to report, did not survive.
Apparently, there is a time limit, as @thismyusername said.
@JonT said that he would upload it to Youtube, though I dunno what happened with that.
I don’t get it. Why wouldn’t you discuss woot’s products on woot, rather than fracture the conversations?
@ACraigL Because they don’t have a search feature?
@ACraigL For the same reason we discuss the derby entries over here. Exposure
@ACraigL This makes it much much much easier to link relevant shirts.
/wootstalker https://shirt.woot.com/offers/inevitability
Inevitability for $19.00 (Probably New)
@narfcake I get the value of the slash command (and the value of the referral link for @lichme), but just didn’t know why we’d discuss the products, specifically. But hey, I’m easy. I’ll play along.
@ACraigL @lichme One big difference - we can fully swear here. The
worstbest that can be said at Woot is “what a piece of shit!”. Here at meh, we can say “what a fucked up piece of shit!”Any major discussion is probably going to be incidental anyway. I mean, three posts into any topic here and it’ll start to drift off-topic already.
@ACraigL @lichme @narfcake
I have yet to see a thread on Meh do that.
@PlacidPenguin And I’ve never
botheredpestered @snapster about the lack of catshirts here, right?@narfcake @snapster
“Pestered” is being too kind.
Commission links! Woot declined my application…
@medz Did they give a reason?
@Seeds not that I saw
Speaking of catshirts, shirts from the catalog are 20% off today.
@sammydog01 I think it’s only select black cat shirts. Because Friday the 13th.

@lichme
Have you added this info to the “slash commands” and mehdown topics? If not, please do. Thx.
@f00l The slash commands was updated already. I believe the mehdown topic is more for plugins vs commands.
@lichme
K thx.

I originally visually parsed that as “plights vs commands”.
I could use some help for plights. It’s a chronic affliction.
So I’ve never heard of these shoes, and they are on sale (woot prices) for more than what I typically spend on shoes, especially if there’s a BOGO sale. Are these any better than the 6 month throwaway shoes I get now are? I do like the Dark Shadow - True Blue color though.
@lichme Heard of the brand, yes. Tried, no.
Shoes are something I have to try on. Doesn’t matter if it’s $5 or $100; if they’re not comfortable right off the bat, it’s a pass for me.
@narfcake I bought some shoes online recently, because I use the same brand all the time and normally they are fine. The ones I just got a couple months ago were a half step up in size, but they are way more snug and uncomfortable to wear. Most likely they will be the shoes I wear while I mow the lawn.
@lichme
So now shoes can cut lawns?
@lichme That’s my fear – so for shoes, I buy them brick-and-mortar.
@lichme @narfcake
@PlacidPenguin No, shoes are for feet silly. They can’t hold scissors.
@PlacidPenguin Cut, I don’t know. Aerate, yes.
/image lawn aerator shoes
@lichme
/image shoe knife
@narfcake @PlacidPenguin I actually looked at them before, they seem to just compact the soil. Maybe better than nothing, but not as good as a good core aerating.
@lichme @narfcake That’s why I buy my shoes at the Zappos outlet store. Their selection of men’s shoes is about a tenth that of women’s, probably because men aren’t as likely to return shoes they don’t like, but all I need are black shoes that fit, and I get crazy good prices.
@craigthom @narfcake For some reason I thought they were online only.
@lichme The Las Vegas, Nevada outlet has since closed, but the one in Shepardsville, Kentucky remains, operated under 6pm.

@lichme @narfcake I have bought Asics from Woot, and I like them a lot, but not familiar with this brand.
