    There are some of these things (notably software bullshit) that they can patch. The problem is that they're already over time and budget, and Elon is being combative with... everyone, but especially investors. That's bad! You might need to ask them for more runway!

    If I were Elon Musk's joke coach, and he had brought his hot fire Pravda joke to me, I would have said

    "Elon" and then pinched the bridge of my nose and continued "What is the premise of this joke?"

    And then Elon would have looked sad and gone off to sit on his own for a bit and workshop his joke

    Honestly I think it's more likely he would have chided you for lack of sense of humor (IE not sharing his) and then began looking for your replacement, after sending the tweet.

    So I got an amazon package I did not order? An Aukey soundtank wireless speaker? Offical amazon packing, correct shipping label for me. Not a wrong person or address.

    What should I do with it? Is there any scam I should be aware of about getting sent random Amazon things I did not pay for?

    There are some scams related to receiving fraudulent packages where someone will try to get you to pay for them because they fucked up.

    Seems weird to do it that way.

    But if a fraudulent package arrives on your doorstep it's yours to keep.

    Mind-Body-Spirit tried to do that to my Ex. They started sending her tons of packages then later sent a bill pretending like she "ordered" it. If it's similar to that scam just keep in mind you don't owe them a penny.

    Probably not that though. I'd think it's probably more something closer to tynic's post.

    So I chated with Amazon and gave them the long order number and they said someone named Ladarius selected my address when shipping it.

    I haven't done a secret santa in a while because I always forget and miss the sign up windows. No idea. So odd.

    Yeah maybe. Can't think who Ladarius would be. It had my middle initial as well on the shipping.

    Any of you guys Ladarius?

    I mean, Thanks Blake!

    In other tech news, the thing I did order, which arrived today also from amazon but in a separate package, was a new mouse. I got a Logitech G305. I've never had a real "gaming" mouse before. It has a DPI switch! There is a program I can download to change the buttons! High DPI is way too high jesus!

    I disabled the DPI switch button on mine. Also in my case it's sort of annoying it can't be programmed to be used as another generic mouse button.

    Do you have a public wish list this might have come from?

    Maybe someone decided to go through and buy some stuff for people. I think there's a football player named Ladarius so maybe he was feeling charitable or something.

    I remember hearing about a thing where someone will buy a product and ship it out randomly to a real address; they get to leave a verified review since the product was paid for and shipped, random person ends up with a free thing. Verified reviews are serious business it seems.

    Just be glad it wasn't a sex toy I guess.
