So hey, my Threadless order went totally missing in the mail. Threadless are kindly re-sending all those in stock. Those that weren't (a total of 2), they replaced with any 2 of my choice. Which was rather nice considering all the shirts I ordered were $10 and I replaced them with $20 ones.

Also gave me a voucher to use next time.

Nice. I already spend too much money there, good to know they have decent CS though.

Threadless are pretty fucking awesome.

The only problem I have with Threadless is that the quality of their shirts has gone down since they were using American Apparel. All my other dealings with them, including customer service, have always been really good.

This is perhaps true. The last batch I bought have been wearing well though. Might be due to just the sheer quantity I have now however. :lol


@RandomVince - Shush. That is a Tasmanian secret.

Same thing happened with my order. Their CS was completely painless.

Hmmm, our order of 10 shirts got lost as well. What's going on with all these missing threadless orders?

 

[Sutton Dagger]

This interests me. If I'm in Wamberal and I'm with Telstra, what exchange would I be on? I can't remember and can't remember how to find out aye.

I'm guessing both are too far away and I'm in the middle. :/

I would say Erina exchange, which I'm on as well (Holgate). You live it Wamby, such a beautiful place, love the beach there.

The Pharmacy Guild is again under fire for another promotional deal just weeks after backing down on a controversial deal between pharmacies and supplement drug company Blackmores.

In the latest deal, pharmacists groups say their reputation is at stake over a deal between the Guild, which represents pharmacy owners, and drug company Pfizer.

Under that agreement, pharmacists receive $7 if they recommend a Pfizer support package to patients receiving certain prescription drugs.

Pfizer Australia managing director John Latham rejects suggestions the payment is a kickback.

"That's basically administration fees," he said.

"So what happens is the pharmacist has to come down, he has to step down from behind the bench, he has to talk to the patient about the medicine, about the medication, and actually talk about the support program and ask the patient if the patient wants to enrol with those programs.

"And so I think a $7 fee for the time of the pharmacist to be able to do that is not unreasonable."

I thought I was reading the Onion for a moment...

 

[Shaneus]

I remember when I used to wear Threadless tees. Then I got sick of explaining all the ones I liked to them (apart from the obvious). Sadly now, it's too easy to tell they're Threadless and pretty much everyone (except AusGAFfers <3) who wears them are tryhard hipsters.

For pure funny, I much prefer Glennz. This is my favourite (which I need to rebuy since the one I have now is far too big):

for those who don't understand why this is bad and where this is headed watch love and other drugs. Also the pharmacists should just fuck off out of the guild

like most unions, woftam.

more on SMH...

http://www.smh.com.au/national/phar...mpany-for-patient-details-20111018-1lypd.html

Pfizer receives patient information, including mobile phone numbers and email addresses, as part of the scheme, under which it provides regular information to patients about their condition and medication.

Like the Blackmores deal, when one of nine Pfizer drugs is being dispensed, the guild's computer system prompts pharmacists that patients are eligible for a support program.

One of the drugs included in the scheme is Pfizer's cholesterol-lowering blockbuster Lipitor, for which more than 10 million prescriptions were filled last year through the Pharmaceutical Benefits Scheme at a cost to the taxpayer of almost $600 million.

Pfizer will face competition from cheaper generic versions of the drug when its patent expires early next year.

Patients who sign up for the 12-week support program linked to Lipitor receive a cookbook and weekly emails containing health advice. Other Pfizer drugs with associated support programs are Champix, Xalatan, Viagra, Lyrica, Pristiq, Aricept, Celebrex and Effexor XR.

A pharmacist who did not wish to be named said: ''Pharmacists might get a short-term gain of $7 but they are putting patient information into the hands of a drug manufacturer who is obviously going to promote their products directly to that patient.

''It's a back-door way of promoting and advertising.''

 

[Gazunta]

What's interesting is that pharmacists make more money out of generic brand medicines, even though they're often cheaper for the consumer. This will be part of why the big brand companies are doing this.

Just shits me seeing people sell out so easily.

correct me if i am wrong

but as part of medical degrees they have an ethics part right? so i assume a pharmacist would have the same in their degree?

shot to bits i tells ya

We don't do an ethics course. And pharmacy exists in a very strange area, it's a health profession, but it's also very much a business.
Not that I'm condoning this though, I think it's bullshit, as was the Blackmores thing.
And the Guild has always been about cash money.

You can cancel pre-orders on Steam if you send a support ticket.

What's the problem with GFWL anyway? After entering the CD-key you never have to look at the interface again.

I've never had major problems with GFWL, to be perfectly honest with you, but I just dislike having multiple levels of DRM running at once.

I disagree. The best way to have vegemite is to not have vegemite at all. I can't digest that stuff.

Gonna take a wild stab, looking at front page of OT I'm gonna guess the thread about lesbian couple and hormone blocking?

 

[Rezbit]

The thread was doomed to fail. From the thread title to the OP just plonking an article down with the sole purpose of thinking "disgonbegood" to one-line shit posters.

Although I still think educated, formulated discourse about that sort of thing should be encouraged - that's how people learn, generate opinions, maybe even change opinions, and discussing moral and ethical things within society should happen more often. Admittedly it would be good if it was less of the "I'm so outraged, you people are sick!" or "You're a bigoted redneck!" style of conversation. Anyway there's my poncy moment for the day.

 

[Planet_JASE]

Ah well that makes things a bit easier for me then. Can I cancel a pre-order at any time leading up to release?

If ye wishes to be well and truly sneaky like, place a pre-order and then buy yourself an Amazon Gift Card when the dollar hits your desired mark. Apply to order.

I remember people recommending Sennheisers the last time someone asked. I think I remember the number 300 or 400 in the model number? Any other recommendations?

Help me, you fine folks. Please?

For Australia try www.headphones.com.au
Take a look at the recommend ones. I have the Shure SE215 and am happy with them for the price. Got them for $90 from the US.

www.earphonesolutions.com is a good American site. They usually have coupons too. Think there's one for 20% off at the moment. Again, check their recommendations. Unfortunately they are unable to ship certain brands overseas.

I mean, the irony that banning someone for making a comment actually causes that comment to be posted even more is fun in a way, but it really should stop.

Absolutely. I don't think anyone who was actually just discussing got banned, just people that did drive-bys or were making inflammatory or bigoted remarks.

That's not ironic at all. Only the original post has any intent behind it. Anything in quotes is just what some other guy said.

Links to the offending post seem much more considerate of people that the comment would offend.

I quoted it from memory out of laziness, mostly because I don't see the difference.
