What's the point in the compass on the rear-view mirror?

What practical difference does it make if I know whether I'm driving N, S, E, or W?

You turn onto the 1-9.  You need S. Which way are you actually headed?

How about if you're in Berkeley and trying to figure out if you need to get on the highway that's the I-80 East and the I-580 west, or do you need the one that's the 580 east and 80 west?

Seriously? You sure that you're not in Chelm?
Workflowy. You won't know what you're missing until you try it.

If someone tells you to turn south at an intersection how do you know which way to turn?

I started getting emails about "Halloween costumes just arrived" so it must be not too far off :)

The problem is, because I didn't vote in the poll, we don't actually know which week I am referring to.

I ordered the Kindle 8" and it is late. See what they offered below.
Would the 20% be off the full $79.99 or after the discounts?

Once I replied that the extension and gift card will be adequate and they gave me both (was only offered those 2 options)

BTW, it only left the Amazon facility on Wed 11:53 pm

Did that essentially turn the whole thing into a profit + free kindle?  :)

Hello,

I understand your concern regarding the options for the inconvenience caused to you.

But unfortunately due to system regulations we are unable to apply all three options you have preferred.

So as a one time exception I'm issuing $15.00 in the form of Gift card balance to your Amazon account will appear within next 3-5 hours in your account and also a one month Prime extension for the inconvenience caused. I hope you understand my limitations in this case.

As I've extended your Amazon Prime membership by one month. The membership will now renew on Thursday, June 28, 2018.

I hope this helps. Please be rest assured, we will take each and every action to prevent you from bearing any loss at Amazon.com as we value our customer investment and trust, more than anything else.

Your patience and understanding is highly appreciated in this matter. We look forward to seeing you soon.


So about free since it was the 8" but no profit.
