@wootstalkerbot
Never tried a Roku stick.
@wootstalkerbot
Do what?
@therealjrn
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
You probably did it incorrectly though
.
@PlacidPenguin @wootstalkerbot it’s very stick like.

@wootstalkerbot My Roku stick remote has a Blockbuster button.
@narfcake
Looks like a step-penguin.
@wootstalkerbot Here!

@wootstalkerbot Volume?
@wootstalkerbot Blah
@wootstalkerbot How would scooby doo pronounce Roku stick?
@wootstalkerbot Wouldn’t mind a Roku. The Fire Stick is getting a bit long in the tooth.
@wootstalkerbot
Might as well try
@wootstalkerbot elli
/meh
@wootstalkerbot random.
@wootstalkerbot very kind of you
@wootstalkerbot Roku, I don’t even know you.
@wootstalkerbot Hoping this will work with a right angle adapter…
@wootstalkerbot If only we could plug it in to the portable TV.
@wootstalkerbot Cool. Thanks
@wootstalkerbot Hmmm, I have been debating about getting one of these things.
@wootstalkerbot I could use an upgrade from my gen 1 chromecast
@wootstalkerbot can I turnaround and sell it on ebay if I win?
@wootstalkerbot a streaming stick is better than a sticky stream.
/not giphying that
@wootstalkerbot Is it housetrained?
@wootstalkerbot Does it read my mind?
@wootstalkerbot wait what this is confusin
@wootstalkerbot You can’t make me comment.
@wootstalkerbot Just a small town girl, living in a lonely world…
@wootstalkerbot But does it play Angry Birds?
@wootstalkerbot Wut ees dis sorsary?
@wootstalkerbot Ooh, Roku!
@wootstalkerbot Sweet!
@wootstalkerbot Like the lottery, odds of winning are marginally better if I enter the drawing.
@wootstalkerbot ooh, hi.
@wootstalkerbot Why should I want this over Chromecast? Is it really that cool?
@wootstalkerbot I’m not adverse to free stuff.
@wootstalkerbot Free stuff is always fun
@wootstalkerbot comment
@wootstalkerbot pick me, please.
@wootstalkerbot Awwww… a baby Roku! Will it grow up to be a Roku Ultra? And what do I feed it?
@wootstalkerbot -Love the Roku stick’s ease of use setup one for my 5 year old autistic grandson for his birthday and he uses it himself to watch all of his favorite netflix hulu and youtube videos, great learning tool also could use one for when he is at my house visiting…
@wootstalkerbot - I’m a Roku kind-of-guy! I have one TV that has it built in, but now my other TVs seem somewhat inadequate, not as popular as they once were, aching for the day when they too were hip and savvy. I think they should call it ROK-U!
@wootstalkerbot hmmm I have never had a Roku but always kind of wanted one.
@wootstalkerbot I guess I’ll have to find my TV.
@Barney
Did you check in the stable next to the horses?
@PlacidPenguin I found it. The maid was polishing it along with the candlesticks.
@Barney
@wootstalkerbot Post.
@wootstalkerbot So I says to Mable I says

@wootstalkerbot hum…,
@wootstalkerbot woot!
@wootstalkerbot 42
@wootstalkerbot I think there’s still an open HDMI on the TV. Works for me.
@wootstalkerbot Oh, sure, why not. I’ve never had a roku.
@wootstalkerbot whut?
@wootstalkerbot …Excuse me…is this the right place to post? I luvs Roku Sticks.

@lichme It’s back.
Anyone care about BoCs anymore?
@chacham Mostly the people who have only bought them a few times
@lichme I have a bunch of times, even got the bigger box once. Though, not in a couple years. I wonder if its still worth it, or has any of the same excitement.
/image woot BoC

@chacham I’ve bought more than anybody should ever buy.
This is just one of my overflow piles that won’t fit in the basement storage, and only represents the stuff that I have deemed worthy of keeping for use/resale at some later date. I’d guess 9/10 items get donated/dumped onto somebody else.
Also, in before somebody calls me out on the meh stuff being in the pile.
@lichme
Why do you have a pair of Mediocre socks there?
I’m sure somebody here would be ridiculous enough to want to buy them from you. (Not me. I already have a pair.)
I wrote the above before you added the last sentence
.
@PlacidPenguin Ha, I called it. They will probably go towards a wootstalker BOC eventually. I have/had a few pairs I got in various fukos, and through VMP. They didn’t fit very well on me, I’ve only worn the ones I had once.
Did not, I checked. This is as close to proof as you can have
@lichme
Have you thought about participating in Mehxchanges?
@lichme
On the bright side, we can start an awareness campaign with the slogan:
‘Don’t be a liiiiich.’
@PlacidPenguin Thought about, yeah, but I send enough crap out the door that I don’t really want to get any more heading my way. Plus, some people (at least at woot) actually take time to look into what their people would like. I have no time for that.
@lichme
When I started my original sentence, your last sentence wasn’t there.
When I posted it, it was there.
Somebody’s to blame.
@chacham
The last 2 or 3 I’ve received have been fairly decent assortments of reasonably useful stuff. No more piles of rubbish, leaky batteries or empty beer cans.
@lichme
You could choose to send but not receive.
@lichme
The cautionary tale/awareness campaign could even have a crossover with @ruouttaurmind.
The slogan could be:
@PlacidPenguin @ruouttaurmind Woot at one point, and maybe even to this day, already calls me out in their duplicate BOC cancellation email. I had a copy of it once, but I believe it ends with…
If you feel your order was cancelled in error, please reach out to customer service, unless you are lichme, then…
/shakes fist*
@lichme @ruouttaurmind
Since I don’t get any emails from Woot, I miss out on these fun things. It’s the one downside.
@lichme @PlacidPenguin
Probably the more expedient slogan might be:
@lichme @ruouttaurmind
But where’s the fun in that?
@PlacidPenguin @ruouttaurmind Bed time for me, work in 4 hours. I’ll be back later, unless I’m not, in which case my wife went into labor 5 days early. We’ll see.
@ruouttaurmind I’ll tell the warehouse to work on that.
Wow! A special badge for Amazon employees! Is that a sign of things to come?
@tinsami1 I’d prefer a Woot badge.
@lichme @PlacidPenguin @ruouttaurmind
I feel so out of the loop.
@Del @tinsami1
I had to double check what site i was on when i saw the badge.
/image amazon badge



/image woot badge
/image meh badge
Okay, so many images is annoying. But i can’t seem to delete or change it now.
I figure anything would be better than my current badge. Even the infamous unemployed badge.
@Del
Mmmmm… nah, I’m good.
I love 'em. Have only had three so far, but keep working at it. Others in my family come visit me and are allowed to paw though and select. They tell me to “… keep up the good work!”
@lichme @PlacidPenguin Sue’s to Blane! +1 to whomever gets that reference.
@Del I think they should find a monkey badge for you, but it looks like you’re badgeless again.
@sammydog01 @Del’s Amz badge accidentally leaked confidential info about the Amz<Meh acquisition.
@sammydog01 wishes do come true.
I’m actually impressed by the cheap, highly rated (high enough at least) items that are being offered. Hope the trend continues:

Doesn’t look like I’ve missed anything I would have purchased while I was sleeping. Except a 1/2 TB SSD. But I don’t have an immediate need for one anyway, so all’s good in the hood.
Came to post about the shirt-off and extra discounts today (TEE25 TO GET AN EXTRA 25% OFF SHIRT.WOOT ORDERS). Good stuff!
Also, a shameless plug to vote for my Snarky shirt in the derby this week. Voting ends tomorrow and I’d like nothing more than to have A-HOLE on the front of an Amazon-owned website.

(you can vote with your Amazon account now too, FYI)
@ACraigL
Isn’t there already an A-HOLE at the head of Amazon?
@ruouttaurmind lol
@ACraigL voted! Id love this for my exhubby
@candiedisilvio1 saw your post as well in the derby. Thank you!

@ruouttaurmind I keep seeing retro racks at stores like Target that feature all of the stuff that I remember growing up with. I’d like to see some Creepy Crawlwers
@ruouttaurmind I refuse to buy connect 4 because those things break way too often. They are complete garbage.
@chacham But at least you’d pay $3 less for it
@chacham You just gotta stop throwing them on the floor when you lose a game!
@ruouttaurmind I bought the spirograph. Cashed in a $10 coupon i’d been saving. Now that the daughter is in school, she needs to experience the same hardship and shame that i did with this thing.
@jaybird

@lichme $3 for one or two games before it breaks again just isn’t worth it. I used to replace them, now i don’t.
Meh… 8GB. I guess if you’re only gonna use it for Prime streaming and a e-reader, 8GB isn’t inhibiting.

@lichme Missed it due to not being logged in recently enough, I guess.
How oh how do you get the Woot bag of crap? Any hints
@candiedisilvio1
@chacham thanks!!! Signed in an refreshing!!!
@candiedisilvio1 @chacham
OR… just go to Wootstalker.com or download the (android) Wootstalker app. Easy peasy!
@candiedisilvio1 @chacham @ruouttaurmind how do I use wootstalker on my iPhone? It’s so confusing
@candiedisilvio1 @chacham @moonhat @ruouttaurmind I don’t think Wootstalker is the way to go this time- Twitter is way faster and I don’t think crap is even getting flagged by Wootstalker. Maybe Tweetdeck works on phones? I’m not sure but it’s great for laptops.
@sammydog01 This morning’s BOC popped out from Wootstalker.com on my iPad/Safari. Also, the high demand items have all notified in plenty of time to grab one. Well, at least the high demand items I was here to see…
@candiedisilvio1 @chacham @moonhat @ruouttaurmind @sammydog01 I didn’t get the Wootstalker popup (Firefox/Windows), but items (including the cuke) do seem to show up there before they’re available on the Woot page.
@moonhat Wootstalker.com in Safari. On my iPhone the home page shows up really, really tiny:
So I zoom in and select the button towards the top of the page that says “Main View Popout”. Then I get this:
Then I just reload the page to keep an eye on how many items are remaining. If a BOC comes up, I can click on the “I want one” button and it takes me to the BOC purchase page.
@ruouttaurmind Cool. I assumed since it wasn’t showing up on the community page they had messed with Wootstalker.
@ruouttaurmind thank you ru!!
@ruouttaurmind

/giphy ru
@moonhat @ruouttaurmind I just checked Tweet Deck against Wootstalker- Twitter is several seconds ahead.
@sammydog01
I don’t Twit, so I defer to you on this one.
And no, I don’t believe it’s an enigma that someone who heads a publishing and news company avoids social media like a zombie plague.
/giphy I have people for that

Giphy is the true enigma. I mean, sometimes giphy hands over results that are just so far detached from the search string I have to SMH and just walk away.
@ruouttaurmind
So you’re in good company with that person.

That blade is very thin. Much thinner than the Morakniv Craftsline knife some of us bought from Woot a couple months ago. Also, not a full tang. The Morakniv Craftsline isn’t full tang either, but it was also five bucks, not nearly $20.
I recommend a hard pass on this one. Price is good in comparison to the regular Amz price, but a good price on a crap knife doesn’t change the fundamental fact that it’s a crap knife.

PlayStation 4 500GB Console [Old Model]
Price: $239.99

I have no idea if this is a good price or not. It’s the older model, no game included…
@ruouttaurmind not a very good price
@ruouttaurmind Four of them sold pretty quickly … then that damn bar just sat at 20% for like 10 minutes.
(I’m blaming @Seeds on that.)
@gwaki TY for the comment. Been poking around the interwebs to get full specs, prices, etc. These are often available on eBay for around $270, new/sealed. So the Woot price of $260 (incl. tax) wasn’t bad, but not great enough to dust off the AMEX for.
Would have liked to hook it up to to a PSVR, but just as I made that choice… sold out while in the VOP.
@ruouttaurmind E3 is 3 weeks away, should be a nice sale on them or just wait until BF and they will be dirt cheap
@narfcake I do my best to keep people from giving that particular tentacle of amazon money.
@gwaki @ruouttaurmind I hear they might announce borderlands 3 at E3. If they do, I’m buying whatever it will run best on.
@gwaki BF is SO far away though…
I would have preferred to have the TOSlink/Audio Output connection available on the original model sold on Woot today. This was eliminated on the Slim IIRC.

@ruouttaurmind Not I. I have wootstalker and (reluctantly) Twitter open in separate tabs. I was maybe 20 seconds in at the most – made it into checkout and all, but sold out at that point.
@narfcake
@sammydog01 I have to say, Woot-offs are often fun, but I’m enjoying myself a bit more knowing I don’t have to try for a BOC.
/giphy serenity now

wootstalker be directing me to the main woot page sometimes.
@medz Happened to me, too, on the first click. Got to the right page when I clicked again, but too late.
@medz Wootstalker.com actually popped out a new tab and took me directly to the BOC.
@medz @walarney That actually happens because the link is shown before it’s actually live. Maybe it’s a server that isn’t up to date yet.
@lichme @walarney site seems sketchy today. they did stuff to prevent people sniping bocs via the forum tab. Not sure I like how much they’re hiding the boc sales. (no way to see they ever existed) Also seems very slow for the sellout page to show the new item after it appears in various feeds.
@lichme @medz They are both there on Twitter. I was getting tweet links maybe 20 seconds before wootstalker. Maybe Woot is trying to get younger customers with social media? I dunno.
@lichme @medz @sammydog01
Joke’s on them. I refuse to create the accounts which they apparently want me to have.
@lichme @PlacidPenguin @sammydog01 all the changes to the BOC offerings lately have been geared to entice new customers not reward loyal wooters. Can’t blame woot for wanting mo’ money.
@lichme @medz @sammydog01
Hence the coupons?
@lichme @medz @PlacidPenguin I guess the coupons are to reward loyal wooters- we get most of them anyway.
@lichme @medz @sammydog01
But I also got some coupons.
@PlacidPenguin By loyal Wooters I mean people that hang around in the forums and buy only free stuff and crap. Maybe I should have said loyal leeches?
@PlacidPenguin Considering your claim to having a lot of catshirts, I’d say you’re pretty loyal.
@sammydog01
Wow. Finding a picture of a leech with a crown is hard to do on the caternet.
@narfcake
@PlacidPenguin @sammydog01 How can you buy free stuff?
@therealjrn
Well, some places make it so that coupon codes don’t discount tax.
Thankfully Woot is not one of those places.

I wound up giving away the one I got last month. Couldn’t get used to it. The screen just felt too confining.
@sammydog01 That would have been much better for a side plus sale if they were only planning on selling one.
@ruouttaurmind I already have a spare. I buy a spare of everything. It’s a problem.
@lichme You would think so.
@sammydog01 Lucky ducky. I have a problem with threes. I embrace the old redundancy credo “Two is one, one is none”. So I guess applying that logic, three is two?
@ruouttaurmind I was doing so well then they offered a paperwhite 3G for $30. Dammit.
@sammydog01
“Two is one, one is none.”
(I bought one too. Great gift for a good price. Only 2GB, but with 3G data that’s less of a challenge, knowing the user can download a book easily from most civilized places.)
Expensive afternoon for me. PSVR, Paperwhite, smoke detector… what next?
@ruouttaurmind PSVR?
The paperwhite is going to my kid. They both have the first generation touch screen ones but the light is really nice. If you’re into kindles. Which you aren’t.
@sammydog01 Ya, I was one of the two who landed the PlayStation VR Doom bundle.
I might send this Paperwhite to my Mom. Her birthday is 6/7. She doesn’t read much anymore because holding the weight of a book is difficult with her arthritis in wrists and hands. Maybe this will be small and light enough she can manage it.
@ruouttaurmind Woo! Congrats! My 93 year old father has a basic kindle that he likes. I can put books on it remotely and he has the font cranked up to old people size.
I have to warn you about the touch screen though- my mom couldn’t get a touch screen to respond, and I guess it’s a problem for people with dry skin. I totally hate that they went with a touch screen because it has precicely no advantages over buttons on a Kindle. They put them back on the Oasis but I refuse to spend that much on an e-reader. Plus every time I brush crumbs off my paperwhite the font size gets really big.
Rant over.
@sammydog01 I just received the $30 Paperwhite 3G I ordered. Is it possible I received a brand new one? The last one I ordered came in a plain brown box sealed with some Amazon Certified Refurbished anti-tampering tape. This one is in a sealed retail “frustration free” black box. No mention of refurbished anywhere on the box.
@ruouttaurmind Mine is coming tomorrow- I’ll let you know what it looks like.
@sammydog01 TY
@ruouttaurmind Mine is in a closed inpenetrable black box that you have to tear a strip to open. I tried checking the codes on Amazon but no luck. I did notice the Kindle tree by the bar code has a big “R” and wonder if that’s for refurbished?
@sammydog01 You are probably correct, the R is likely a code for Refurb. I’m guessing these are old, leftover refurb stock from the days when Amazon and Apple did “as-new” refurbishments, including packaging. Heck of a bargain for $30!
@ruouttaurmind I’m trying to register the Kindle. I got it onto wifi but I get an unable to connect error- try again later when I try to hook it up to my account. I read that it probably needs a manual software update and I loaded it into the memory but it’s stuck on the Amazon account page so I can’t update it. Shit.
@ruouttaurmind Never mind, I got it to work. You do need to do a manual update (plug it into a computer) before you can register it though.
@sammydog01 Glad you figured it out. I went through the same thing on the last one.
How was the cosmetic condition? 80%? As new?
@ruouttaurmind It’s perfect! I miss my special offers though- stupid pencils. I really like the 3g- this kindle lives in my purse because I often have time to kill. Now it syncs automatically with my home kindle so I don’t have to read two books at once.
@sammydog01 I didn’t realize this was a “no special offers” version. Bonus.

Hohner M2013BX-G Rocket Harmonica Boxed, Key of G
Price: $39.99
Condition: New
Now that had better be one fancy mouth organ for forty bucks!
@ruouttaurmind I’d pay $40 to hear my dad play The Little Drummer Boy on Harmonica.
@ruouttaurmind
7 years ago (or so), I bought a harmonica for myself.
I can count on the hand of any of the Warner siblings, how many times I’ve used it.
@PlacidPenguin Sometimes though… there’s stuff I just want to have, whether or not I actually get use of it. Like my genuine Peruvian Ocarina purchased in genuine Peru. I have a few cherished items like that. Not unlike people who have collectible action figures or my mom and her Hummel Figurines.
@ruouttaurmind
Buy a storage unit full of tumbleweeds, and then contact me.
@PlacidPenguin It’s the Arizona desert. One doesn’t have to pay for tumbleweeds.
@ruouttaurmind
Except you CLEARLY don’t have a storage unit full of them.
@PlacidPenguin You are correct. There is, however, miles of wilderness starting 5 feet from my office back doorstep just chocked full of them!
@ruouttaurmind
I’ll trade you this thing called ‘grass’ for a tumbleweed.
@PlacidPenguin Even better you can send him some of the dirt Woot is selling right now.
@sammydog01
It’s not dirt. It’s earth food.
Why would he want to encourage the growth of the earth? There’s an abundance of it over there.
@PlacidPenguin @sammydog01 Why would someone want to pay $1/lb to eat dirt? The last time I ate dirt, it was the 1st grade and Patricia Moore paid ME a nickel. And the dirt was free!
@ruouttaurmind @sammydog01
It’s food for the earth to eat.
@PlacidPenguin @ruouttaurmind I remembered diatomaceous earth as something you put into your garden dirt to kill bugs but I looked it up to double check. Yep, it’s an insecticide. People also eat it. Crazy people.
https://morningchores.com/diatomaceous-earth-uses/
@PlacidPenguin @sammydog01 It’s also used to fight bedbug infestation.
@ruouttaurmind Yes, it slices the coating off bugs when they walk through it. So it’s great for ypur digestive system.

I would like a uke, but I’m sure a soprano would be too small for me. Probably need a tenor or baritone. I used to play bass guitar and upright years ago and wouldn’t mind a uke.

I have this exact cooling pad. Just purchased it on May 8th for $11.19 to incl.
Plenty of room for my 15.6” Toshiba. Very quiet, but even at max fan speed, the airflow is weak. But it does provide enough cooling that the internal fans never kick on.
I blame @Seeds that I have been busy all day and have not been able to wOOt-oFF!

@mfladd You didn’t miss much except for super cheap Kindle Paperwhites.
@mfladd you’re welcome
We’re getting down to the dregs now. They’ve scraped the sediment from the bottom of the barrel and are methodically posting it a chunk at a time.

Here’s to hoping there’s a TT treat in there somewhere.

The graph of spikes isn't cooperating tonight so it might be tomorrow before I can show you.
Have a great rest of the woot-off.
