Highlights from this day
  • two_lifts_a_week — report it even if nothing happens. the pattern is the value, not the individual case 20:51
  • triumph_watch — a fake tracking number that resolves on no carrier at all is conclusive. one that resolves and stalls is not, we shall see 21:56
  • triumph_watch — a discount that expires in an hour is a pressure tactic and it is the oldest one there is, someone check my working 21:59
  • triumph_watch — follow up the watchlist is pinned and maintained. add anything you find with a screenshot 22:01
