Amazon Prime is some of the best money I've spent in a long time.

whiteylexus: Who the fark needs to own 48 guns? I suppose they're all for hunting, right?

Who needs to own hundreds of bobbleheads?

Who needs to own hundreds of collector plates?

See a pattern?

Who the fark needs to own 48 pairs of shoes? I guess they're all for walking, right?

The flaw in your fallacious rebuttal is assuming that people wouldn't find ownership of 48 pairs of shoes equally ridiculous.

You can't ACTUALLY put 48 guns in there.

"X gun capacity" means there's slots for X number of guns. Unless they're all fairly compact rifles (no scopes, no pistol grips, etc.), you aren't putting that many in there. Not going to fit. For example, an AR-15 will probably take up at least a couple of those spaces, maybe more.

As for "need," well, I don't sit in judgment over what you own. We don't NEED anything more than food, shelter, clothing, and occasional medical care. You can get all that in jail but I don't think most people really want that kind of life.


As for the safe in TFA, it doesn't look like as good a safe as one might think. It looks like it has an internal hinge- that limits the swing of the door while also being much more difficult to repair (which will be needed... doors are very heavy and internal hinges tend not to last long with that kind of weight. It IS cheaper, though, and that's why they're used.

I have a couple decent safes (of higher quality than that one... it has gizmos, but the money is in the gizmos and not where it really counts), and they were NOT cheap. But they'll protect what is inside. A really good burglar can still defeat them, but my neighbors are likely to hear all the hammering that it's going to take.

Outlawtsar: H31N0US: Overstock delivers massive stuff for $3. Amazon prime is choice however. Just the free video alone is cheaper than Netflix.

CSB time about Overstock and their shipping:

I recently purchased two identical 50 lb nightstands for $250 each, free shipping on Overstock. When they arrived,the external boxes looked ok, but inside one was nearly destroyed, the other had a leg broken off (but was fixable). They had barely made the UPS weight restrictions and I assumed they had been stored improperly somewhere along the line (should have been palletized).

So I got ready for the huge hassle of shipping those beasts back...instead, Overstock said "just keep them at your house for a week, if UPS doesn't come by to examine them for damage claims, then you can throw them away. Your replacements will be there shortly."

/Now I have 3 nightstands for the price of two

I'm glad some companies have realized that nickel and diming their customers is the easiest way to piss them off.

Amazon is starting to offer free shipping for imported items (... like foreign-made candy...) that are small and possibly considered impulse purchases, which may or may not be bad news for certain people's diets. You used to have to pay individual shipping prices on those items. No more, if you're buying a certain total amount of merchandise.

Amazon executives insist that it all works out in the end. In the words of CEO Jeff Bezos, "It's not like we didn't do some arithmetic ahead of time."

And with that statement, Jeff Bezos was disqualified from ever running for President as a republican.

A guy I worked with ordered a water compressor that weighed 60-70 lbs and had it shipped 2 day via Amazon Prime. I thought that took the cake. I was clearly wrong.
