Looks like some company on ebay is clearing out old stock of velleman meters, not a bad price considering the safety certifications on it. Considering one for the glove box. Not bad to have a manual ranger around that actually has a fuse in it

But you STILL have the human factor of looking for very tiny and subtle difference in color. it only takes one goof and poof.

No doubt it's made more difficult by the ubiquitous blue overspray...

I knew there was something missing ... a regular dose of the blue spray.

All's well in the world.

Well I got bored of GTA V already. Back to scouting ebay for test gear

So I should add a discounted Red Dead plus another newbies signup coupon then to help relieve the boredom

Going to need more HDD in the box STAT.....

Sorry for being out so long. Now I have Internet in my apartment!

Anyway I am reading the last 30 pages and it's tough to keep up.
Regarding the macro keyboard topic, I use a HASU USB adapter

https://www.1upkeyboards.com/shop/controllers/usb-to-usb-converter/

and Autohotkey.

I couldn't be happier.

Only God knows, probably after the 3rd June when I should be able to drive to Italy again.

Waiting on one drop off and one collection from UPS today.

Place your bets. It's 11:03 now...

Zucca · « **Reply #58740 on:** May 18, 2020, 10:07:47 am »

As soon you will leave your home for a short grocery trip this afternoon, you will be welcomed with a 1st attempt delivery UPS ticket back home.

I have to say that once I get notification like that they are normally within minutes from the allotted time.

Somehow Amazon's contract delivery has apparently lost my coffee filters which were never transferred to USPS. They already issued me a refund. First time a package has gone completely FUBAR except for the recent extended delivery times.

bd139 · « **Reply #58746 on:** May 18, 2020, 10:51:23 am »

Oh nice. We lose a lot of stuff from RM here. It gets delivered to different roads regularly. That's what happens when you employ crack heads.

UPS didn't show btw.

Specmaster · « **Reply #58747 on:** May 18, 2020, 10:58:10 am »

Phone UPS and ask them WTF happened then, maybe they track their trucks and tell you where it is or maybe where the driver delivered it to if misdelivered.

Go Old School Cowboy Coffee and strain it through your teeth

Slightly seriously I am a big fan of the Sock rather than Paper. It is a fine Cotton cloth that lets more oils (more flavor) through than the paper and avoids the occasional fine sediment you get in mesh filters. Re-cleanable a bunch of time with a proper clean in Espresso cleaner every few days. 'Coffee Sock' on Amazon should get you some hits.

med6753 · « **Reply #58749 on:** May 18, 2020, 11:08:31 am »

Dunno about over there but here Amazon is not meeting their 2 day ship commitments on "non-essential" Prime items. More often your order stays in a cue for as much as 5 days before it ships. Given that I pay extra for Prime I wonder if I bitched loud enough if they would issue a partial refund or extend my Prime account by a few months? Yea, sounds like a crappy thing to do given this pandemic situation but hey, I paid for a service that you are not honoring.

What to do? Be a jerk or just let it slide?
