TSR: In Ur Accounts, Deletin Ur Stuffs!

[They]

It's the comments that frankly make me gag. "OMG your such a SAINT for telling us this! I'm liek you're biggest fan!" The hell?

Yep, some of those comments sound just as fucked up as those Apple commercials about people joining their "community" by getting a Mac. 

[calalily]

Sounds more like a security breach doesn't it?  Jesus Christ - why would you give these people your Paypal details?

Actually, I'd buy that this really has nothing to do with TSR and their general fuck-upness. 

Yes, but this isn't looking good for them since they've claimed they're being regularly hacked by the assorted pirate haxxors.  Lies come back and bite you in the arse, Thomass.

But...but they weren't hacked, remember? Or were they?  Or weren't they? It gets so confusing sometimes.

That's what I came here to say. If I had an account at TSR, I'd just have to leave a comment letting those brainwashed cult members know that in the REAL WORLD businesses are required to send out warnings such as this to their customers.

That thread of Admin Blowjobbing made me feel ill.  Personally, I couldn't do that to my gag reflex.

Ugh, the TSR sheeple are at it again, this time they're raving over TSR's "COMPENSATION" for "hardware troubles." Eck. They DO make it sound like TSR is some higher superior being. Please. It's just compensation, there's nothing special to it. That is, unless this is the first time TSR has done it.

[paperbeth]

Thanks, my computer is now covered in vomit.

It probably is the first time TSR has done any such thing at least during the time I  had my subscription there- after all it is commonly accepted business practice to compensate customers when something they PAY for breaks- TSR knows nothing about good customer service and most commonly accepted customer related business practices are foreign to them- hence the sheeple raving. Really they shouldn't after all you buy a new set of plates and it breaks while on the truck from the warehouse to the UPS facility you get compensated- why the hell should TSR be any different - its like people with perfectly normal common sense throw it out the fucking window when it comes to TSR- They wouldn't leave a store if something they bought was broken by a customer service rep who wasn't being careful why should TSR's server be any different- the sheeple pay for it and they should have a reasonable expectation that Thomass and his minion/sibling/computer admin should know what they fuck they are doing when it comes to maintaining their servers or the reasonable expectation that Thomass would  use some of the money that Thomass spends on his multiple homes and supporting Atwat to ya know - hire someone with more computer hardware knowledge than a 12.

No, it's not the first time TSR has done this.  When I had a paid account, I think I was given free days a couple of times.  And I do admit, they were pretty generous about extending time.  The site would be hard to get to for a week and they'd extend the time by two weeks.  That's just a good business practice and I have to give them credit, at least TSR knew to do that much. 

[Scurvy Cat]

Yeah, I remember them giving comp time for downtime, too.

Regardless of whether this is the first time or regular practice, it's not something worth praising them for. I recently had a piece of almost-new equipment malfunction in the theatre where I work. It was nothing I could fix, so I sent it back to the supplier who took a look at it, couldn't find the problem either, and so have sent it on to the manufacturer on the other side of the continent. All of this at no cost to me. While I appreciate the fact that I didn't have to fight to get them to do this, I'm not going to stand on the rooftop singing their praises either. They sold me something, it was faulty, they're fixing it. That's just how it's supposed to go.

TSR sold their subscribers a service which was unusable/unavailable for a significant amount of time. Giving these subscribers make-up days isn't being nice - not doing so would be stealing. Thanking them is like thanking the schoolyard bully for not beating you up and taking your lunch money. Grrr!

(I know I'm preaching to the choir here, but I had to let off some steam apparently.)

Microwave Fudge Recipe

How many ounces in a can of sweetened condensed milk?  I have to convert it to grams so I know how many cans to get (the cans are smaller here)!!

14 oz is the standard can weight. Brand doesn't really matter unless you have a personal preference. My mother swears that the only condensed sweetened milk that matters is Carnation.  My sister in law will tell you that Eagle is sweeter and smoother.  I've used Sav-a-lot brand, and neither of them have known.

Sweetened condensed milk isn't easy to find here.  I have found it in a couple of Tokos (asian supermarkets), and the brand is Nestle's, which doesn't matter to me since I always bought store brand back in the states.  Usually the price for "imports" is pretty high (Duncan Hines cake mix will run you 3.95 to 4.95 euros a box, same for the frosting can), but I did find some scm for around 1.75 a can, just need 2 cans!!

As much as I hate to support multi-national corporate giants Amazon has quite a selection of bulk staple items like sweetened condensed milk. As I am able to order off of Amazon UK and Amazon Asia with my US Credit Card I would assume that the same thing goes for people in other parts of the world being able to order from Amazon U..S They have both Eagle and Carnation and it is about 13USD for a case. Not sure what that would be in pounds or Euros however.
