Australia, right?

Damaged BMS?

I know from working in manufacturing, at least, that people like to abuse excel and try to use it as a DB client

Win11 didn't even know what to do with my Intel (of all brands) WiFi chip.

Win10, Kubuntu, and mint all detected it without needing to download and transfer the driver with my phone in order to start the updates after install.

They don't really mention if it's illegal or not to their reasoning. They only use three parameters for the decision.

They argue for points 2 (health risk) and 3 (commonly abused), both of which cigarettes and alcohol fit right in, but are unrestricted.

That would make sense if they were looking for CBD, which is the chemical that causes the relaxing effect of weed, not THC which more or less just gives the "high" feeling. You can easily get CBD from hemp and WADA actually removed it from their ban list in 2019.

There are also plenty of allowed substances that can help you relax, even prescription-only. They would have to ban things like; alcohol (never gonna happen), dramamine (antiemetic), diphenhydramine (antihistamine), gabapentin (anticonvulsant, Rx-only), etc... These, while primarily used for other purposes, all are occasionally used for their sedating effects and to my knowledge are all allowed.

There was also the argument that while yes, it does help with relaxing, it will actually decrease performance on the whole.

Meanwhile Sha'Carri (US running) was DQ'd previously for having THC in her system. Still trying to wrap my head around how pot can help you run faster.

They weren't concerned about CBD or anything else, just the psychoactive THC.

Possibly things that are actively fermenting like kumis, kefir, or kombucha

Klarna is permanently on my do not trust list, as what I experienced told me they can't manage their system correctly. And for someone who can put a derogatory mark on your credit, I'm not risking it.

(Bear in mind when I got the first email, just to be safe, I paid off the remaining balance the Friday of that week.)

I figured they caught and corrected it, so no harm, no foul.

When I tried using them at the end of the month however, (I think for upgrading my comp) they rejected my finance request. I wasn't sure, but I had my suspicions it was due to their fuck-up as I only used them once.

3 weeks later, they sent this.

Well, that too. It was a minor issue comparatively, but still present.
