It’s just nuts, at least over here. “Black week”, “Black Friday weekend”, “Black Monday, Black Tuesday…”.

Just so annoyed at the whole over-hyped mess of a non-tradition where the main outcome is people getting hurt, and economical troubles for lots of people.

Or possibly it’s a stagnant market where there are no good alternatives currently, so there is no obvious incentive for companies to develop new systems or solutions.

Kids birthday parties make me want to go hide in the forest.

I don't know about the rest of you, but personally I think that this whole Black Friday nonsense can go die in a dumpster fire.

Old power in the shape of PowerBook and a surprise Thinkpad. ?

On the flip side, I didn’t have to pay any customs or other nonsense fees.

Cool! Just make them about opera, sci-fi, or science, and it’s all good! ?
