Primary Arms started charging sales tax on WA-bound orders because of the recent court decision on that issue. Only problem is, they're charging sales tax on the total of the items and the shipping charges. But when you return an item, they only refund the sales tax assessed on the item value (not the sales tax you paid on the shipping when you ordered it). That deserves a WTF. I called them and they said it was "common practice". I politely told them that was bovine excrement and suggested they re-evaluate their sales tax calculation at checkout.
That is FF. (fricking.fascinating)
As a side note, if states aren't getting fat on all the upcoming sales and use tax money, fire your leaders.

We should deploy some of those robots to guard the Mexican border. https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/7954270/f ... el-spikes/ A CHINESE factory worker has survived being skewered with TEN metal spikes when a robot malfunctioned.
The 49-year-old, named as Mr Zhou, was working on the night shift at a porcelain factory in Hunan province when he was struck by a falling robotic arm.
Border Patrol agents in the Laredo Sector stopped a human smuggling attempt where a driver packed 19 migrants into a pickup truck. The driver managed to escape after fleeing the scene, leaving his cargo behind.

Asshole walks into a convenience store in West Seattle, sneaks up on the store owner and starts whipping her with a set of handcuffs... then fists, feet, store shelving...
he stops to rob the til and then goes back to beating the woman... 10 minutes goes by and finally the beer deliveryman shows up and puts a stop to it.

Whoops! Someones gonna be unhappy. I have a client, financial advisor, that volunteers his time and twin engine plane to deliver organs. https://www.usatoday.com/story/travel/f ... 298616002/ Human heart found on Southwest flight, causing plane to turn around
Someone left a human heart on board a recent Southwest Airlines flight from Seattle, causing the Dallas-bound flight to turn around.
Like a mishandled bag, the heart was mistakenly kept on the connecting flight instead of being taken out of the cargo hold in Seattle.
Southwest described the Sunday evening incident in a statement to USA TODAY, referring to the transplant organ on Flight 3606 as "a life-critical cargo shipment" that was "intended to stay in Seattle for delivery to a local hospital." However, the Seattle Times reported that no Seattle-area hospitals have said they were involved.

Holy shit, I laughed. I laughed HARD. I would pay money to watch Santa burst into a room, rip off his beard and spew forth with a stream of expletives. (The Billy Bob Thornton version of that is getting old.)
I love how irate the parents were. So ridiculous. And what if old St. Nick had done nothing and the place really had gone up in flames? Well, they'd be irate, of course.
I'm seeing a pattern here...

You'd think he'd be aware of the concept of evidence.
