Author Topic: The WTF of the week (Read 10698 times)

I know, it's completely nuts.

What puzzles me the most about it though, is if there is some kind of conspiracy going on, and the world truly is flat - why does the conspiracy exist? what do the conspiritors have to gain by fooling everyone? And who is manipulating the earth's magnetic field to behave in a way that is so far removed from all other magnets on planet? Where on the outer rim is the South Pole?
And many other questions for which I'm sure the believers would burn me at the stake for asking

I had hoped that might be a mistake, but looking at the prices of some of the other listings perhaps not

It is designed and aimed at those who call themselves "Audiphiles" you know the people who will pay £1000 per meter of speaker cable because they say it sounds cleaner and crisper, even though it's the same as another cable that cost's £1 per meter.

Yeah anyone who knows anything about a digital signal knows as long as enough signal get to the other end it is fine. I have a £6 15 metre HDMI works fine and a 15 meter £7 optical cable works fine

The only reason I know of for having more expensive cables is for higher bandwidth (or greater data throughput) - and then that would be for specialist stuff.

I ordered a wallet thingy for a new mobile phone from Amazon on Monday.

So, they dispatched it from Swansea (15 miles away) on Monday evening and sent it up to Bristol (80 miles away). Bristol then sent it back to a depot near Port Talbot (25 miles away), and they failed to deliver it to me today, not giving a reason - Amazon Logistics......
