Ray Tensing Indicted for Murder of Samuel DuBose
http://www.cincinnati.com/story/news/2015/07/29/publish/30830777/

I'm glad Tensing had a body camera on. I'm glad the grand jury indicted him. Unless there's something acutely relevant that's off-camera and missing here, I'll be glad when he gets convicted of murder.

There is something I just don't get, concerning in-game messaging
I have noticed that in-game messaging can be completely disabled. Obviously that would not have any reason to be so without "Anonymous Players" enabled at the same time. So my question is this : What's the point with games having Anon and no in-game messaging? The whole point of Diplomacy is gone. I really don't get the appeal, because I have noticed that there is a number of games with those parameters.

I'm considering doing something and I'm wondering how to go about it.
I can't complete the action completely on my own, but I do want to be in control of what I'm doing, and keep all the money I'll probably make as a result of the activity. I haven't defined which action I'm considering taking, but I know that people successfully carry out activities all over the world, nearly every day. Can anyone give me advice?

In Honor of Sandgoose's Baby I See It Fitting That We Should Help Pick Out A Name
So, knowing it's a boy, there's no better time to start than now. Offer a suggestion or repeat someone else's suggestion and add a +1 after it. For example, Josh is a great name. If someone else liked that best, they would put Josh +1 or increment the counter. I'm sure SG will name it based on the most +1's. After all, he's a webdipper at heart.

Reason for Amazon Gift Card?
Amazon sent me a 25USD Gift Card to me, *at my work*, and I have no idea why. I've checked my Amazon account, I've checked my email account, absolutely nothing about me receiving one, much less at my work. Nothing but "Thank You" with the card. Thoughts? Known way of knowing?

It sounds like it was gifted to you by someone you know, either a friend/family, or possibly a work gesture. Did other colleagues get one?

I did correct them on something about them trying to cut my Student Prime membership and they simply rectified it by keeping me on Student Prime, no follow up email and certainly didn't mention compensation. That was a week ago and I normally get things shipped to my home address anyways.

I dint know about you, but when I was a grad student and walked past a room with food, I didn't question Providence, I just grabbed a sandwich and ran away before anyone saw me. Same applies to mysterious gift cards.

You got a Reward and Recognition from your colleagues.
Someone has hacked your accounts and given you $25 as a consolation.
You will be asked to support someone in a game soon, with the delivery note No. in the message.
Someone at your work has the same name as you.
The wrong item was sent to you.
Amazon has a new promotions exercise and you have been selected at random.
You have won second prize in a beauty contest.

How do you imagine anyone on here knows?
Valis2501 (2850 D(G))
27 Jul 15 UTC
I can imagine there being a way to check based on the redemption code, or some hidden part of my amazon account that lists when and why they send such things.

More likely someone here knows an answer equivalent or close to those hypotheses than it is we solve world politics or the AI singularity on the forums...

If they fucked up your Prime, it's almost certainly because of that. They likely used your work (school) address because it's somehow tied to your Prime eligibility

I got an email saying it was going to expire, saying "If you’re still a student, please verify your student status using this form before August 22, 2015 to maintain your Amazon Student membership and renew your Amazon Prime membership at the discounted rate of $49/year (for up to four years.)"

but when I go and follow the link it says "Thank you for your interest in the Amazon Student program. Unfortunately, we are not able to review late appeals at this time. If you feel we may have missed something, please reach out to us at [email protected].

On Jul 13, 2014 your Amazon Student membership ended and you no longer qualify for the $39 discounted Amazon Prime rate. You will continue to receive the FREE Two-Day Shipping benefits and Prime Instant Videos that you enjoyed while you were a member of Amazon Student and we have charged your credit card $79/year."

so mid August they say I need to renew by Aug 22nd, but when I try it says it expired in July!?

Which only adds to my confusion.

So I emailed asking them to clarify and the next day I got a new email saying it would be renewed (which of course is half contradicted and half upheld by various parts of my user info as above), so maybe that's it?

I'm not asking for compensation...just clarity...

Amazingly enough, Amazon contacted me and said that it was a mistake. Please send the gift card to me and I will deal with it appropriately. Thank you for your honesty and your cooperation in this matter.
Next time there is any money that was sent inappropriately to you, please contact me instead.
