Yellowstone season 6 cancelled

All I have to say about that is they can piss right off. I bought Kat a small gift of a nice little piece of Indian Pottery. I was looking for something unique and it fit the bill nicely. There is spam and then there is this level of endless crap we have been inundated with ever since that purchase. So far we have at least 25 different large mailers with everything from " buy us a milk ticket" for lunch to "here, have a little modern artifact to hang from the rearview mirror" to just outright emotional blackmail trying to get money out of us. It is persistent and regular and always from some reservation type establishment so it isn't hard to figure out what caused it. Never again.

That is pretty annoying to say the least.

I did have one lady that wanted me to fix her personal PC. She offered to make something for my wife with beads or some other art that she has because she's short on money.

My response: CASH ONLY! My wife has enough stuff already. :D
 
No, but I spent the first year returning them unopened with various messages scrawled across the front. No longer lives here. Resident is deceased. Stop sending me crap.

Nothing works so now it just all goes in the trash where it belongs. They could feed the entirety of nations with what they spend on postage and trinkets.

I don't know how I got on the mailing list, but I get catalog books (yes, literal books) from Uline now on a frequent basis. I have called them mutiple times and I have talked to the post office and I cannot stop it. It is crazy how much material they send out. I put them in my recycling and it saddens me every single time.

Uline as a company are actually a bunch of assholes. They have millions of shipments via UPS annually so I know they enjoy very discounted rates yet their shipping costs are near retail at the one or two shipments per year rate. That means they are pocketing a ton of money to pay for all that bullshit spam they send out. I throw away at least one full catalogue every week even though we check the box that says we don't want or need one.

while we're bashing tribes and their business practices I'll just throw in that their governments are often completely mickey mouse, disorganized shitshows, rife with corruption but very difficult to prosecute because it's nearly impossible to get enough evidence to convict when there's no documentation of anything.

Anybody need a McMaster-Carr table weight?

Thing is IMO the website or app are much easier to use than that book anyway. I'd be fine if they stopped mailing me the book.

Website for McMaster is the way to go, but I do miss the Grainger catalog sometimes. Bathroom reading and whatnot.
 
You could use a couple McMaster-Carr catalogs to make a homemade squatty potty.

Like a hollowed out book to hide things in? 🤣

They are notoriously stingy with their catalogs, so you must be a McMaster-Carr high-roller!

Not really

I've been a McMaster-Carr loyalist for nearly 40 years. I first learned about them in college (purchasing for SAE student competitions). They're one of the few companies that will actually tell you "no" if you request a catalog. They weigh a ton, so they cost a lot to produce and ship, and the company attitude is "you'll find a way to buy from us, and until you spend enough to make it worth it, we aren't going to waste money sending you a catalog." The catalogs have good design information in them, too.

App, you need to realize what you have. Here's an ebay screenshot showing the value of what you have sitting there:

In the past 90 days, there have been 96 current (#129) catalogs sold, with prices (including shipping) ranging from $26 to $103. That's more than one sold each day! You could be buying Jeep parts with the catalogs you're lamenting receiving... ;)

But I haven't received a 129, I only have 128.

And, just to finish up this craziness of how stingy McMaster-Carr is, App, you just need to hold on to that catalog. It's going to appreciate:
