Hi, I’m acquiring an email newsletter currently hosted on substack.
I plan on rebranding this newsletter and I’m going to buy a new domain to match.
As I’ve never sent any emails from this new domain, should I plan to warm it up for a while before making the switch?
About how long should I warm it up for? The email list is ~25k subs.
TIA!

Did anyone see a dedicated area for Saints fans at Twickenham for next week? I booked my seats through the link from an email saints sent out last night but there was no clear dedicated area, the available seats seemed to be dotted around the whole stadium. There was a message during check out saying the seats were reserved for 'Finalist 1' but I've been on to look again this morning and theres seats on the other side of the stadium also with this message. Does anyone know what that's about?

I’m a bit confused. For context, on May 24th i got an email from ECSI saying my refund has been “issued” for a check and in the email it says “ it takes 7-10 days excluding sundays to deliver to address”. However yesterday, May 31st I got another email this time from my school’s financial aid office saying my “financial aid has been disbursed into my student account and the accounting office will refund credit after all charges are satisfied via check. “ it also says “within 14 days after the financial aid payment appears on my student account.” My main confusion is the first email was sent a week before the second one. So when will it actually come because I’m so confused and have not heard back from financial aid office. What time range do i go off of?

My first reddit post, hope you guys go easy on me.

1. Her

I met her (let's call her missybusy) through a common friend group. My friends from my previous school were still connected to me and I often used to meet them. She was new to that friend group and it was her first time coming for a meetup. My friend has a pretty big place so a lot of us could accommodate at the same time. I am usually quiet and I talk less. I was sitting in the corner on the sofa and then I saw her enter through the door along with one other friend of mine. And oh my god, I was in awe and amazement because truthfully, I had never seen a girl so pretty and radiant. Her eyes were bright like the moon at night, her complexion fair like milk and her smile was just so beautiful I can’t even describe it in words. She was the quiet one as well so we both were seated in the corner having small to no conversation. This was my first meeting with her and then we met on multiple other meetups and it was always a few words of exchange. One of my friends (let's call him Dave) was actually sort of close to her and they both used to talk frequently. However, some problems arrived between Dave and missybusy and so Dave reached out to me for help. So, I tried to solve matters by talking to both Missybusy and Dave and this is how I started talking properly to Missybusy. I tried to solve the matter and, in the process, I became friends with Missybusy. And she was really fun to talk to! all this time I perceived her to be quiet and less talkative but when I started to talk to her, I realized that she has an amazing personality besides being so pretty. And around that time my friendship with her strengthened and we used to talk frequently but not every day. And somewhere among these conversations I developed a liking for her and so did she. We used to flirt a lot and it was so fun and pure. This went on for around 3 to 4 months and we continued to flirt and talk. And it was around the time of January when she had returned from the farewell of her high school and she showed me the pictures and she looked gorgeous. An absolute angel. And that night of constant flirting I always kept mentioning about another her in front Missybusy, I did that so she wouldn’t suspect that I liked her. But then she got serious and she confessed that she liked me and I was in a small shock but then I confessed to her as well. At this point one would think that this is it, this is where you guys get into a relationship. But no, I actually asked her to wait for our final exams to be over and even she wanted this. Around One and a half month later we went on our first date. And it was peaceful but it was a very dull date to be honest I took her from one place to another which I feel was terrible. I screwed up the first date. But she told me it was really peaceful and so I didn’t think much of it back then. We kept talking over WhatsApp and Instagram for almost another 2 months but we were not in a relationship yet because she said she wanted time and I believed I shouldn’t pressure her so I kept waiting thinking we have all the time in the world. She was an introvert and she didn’t go out much she liked staying at home more and I sort of found this trait cute, although it meant we didn’t get to meet a lot. 2. Dates and Love In the month of June, we went for another date and spoiler alert, this is the day I fell in love with her. We went to watch a movie- Spiderman, into the spider-verse, and to be honest the movie was decently funny and every time Missybusy laughed I looked at her and adored her smile. I noticed she was shivering, she felt cold because the cinema hall was actually very cold so I wrapped my arm around her so she wouldn’t feel cold and she just came closer and the annoying armrest was like a wall in between. In that moment, I made my purest and most honest wish to God (I’m very spiritual and religious). I asked God to always keep Missybusy happy no matter what. After the movie we exited the hall and we were standing near the exit of the mall and just talking and laughing. It was a blissful moment I can never forget that moment ever. She just jokingly pushed me and I literally fell down and I’ve got to say it was funny as hell. And while I was on the ground I saw her laughing so loudly and openly that I… I also fell in love. I was madly in love. We laughed and talked for another half an hour more and then the both of us went home. While on my way to home I realized that I had fallen for her and everything around me felt so soothing, so amazing and I was so happy. This was my favorite day with her and my best day yet. It was perfect, it was divine it was full of amazement and I for the first time felt what is it like to love. One problem I’ve always had is expressing my feelings. I end up thinking what the other person is going to think about my feelings and I’m going to be judged. But I still told her I love you but she hadn’t said it back yet. Another date we went on that she considered her favorite day with me was when we went to have pizzas. At first, we just walked around, talked a lot and laughed together. Held hands and roamed the paths. Then we came across a pizza shop and decided to have some pizza. Oh boy did I know what the day was going to unfold. She has two siblings so she always had been a fast eater when it came to pizzas and ice creams and at that time, I didn’t know that she ate pizzas so quickly. She finished her whole pizzas before I could finish two slices and to be fair, I’ve always been a slow eater and I didn’t eat very spicy food at the time. So, she was done with her pizza way before I had. She added chili flakes to my pizza slice which slowed my pace even more and she just sat there watching me eat and laughed at me while I was just trying my best to eat the pizza. I realized how much she was enjoying this so I just prolonged this whole thing, I ate slower, I made faces and I even called her a bully and she was laughing so much and, in my heart, I enjoyed that so much. I usually don’t allow people to mess with my food but seeing her laugh I just wanted this moment to last forever. A couple of time later, when everyone was busy filling applications for college, one of our friends (let’s call her jane) hosted a birthday party. The plan was that she will invite us all to our house and then from there we’ll go to a restaurant. So Missybusy and I went to buy gift for our friend and we bought two identical plushies for Jane. Anyways, that day was so special. Because when we all went back home and when Missybusy and I were talking over WhatsApp she said ‘I love you’. For the first time ever, I heard it from her, although it was still on text, I was jumping around screaming in joy and a few tears of joy appeared. I was beaming with joy. I was so happy. This should mean we were finally together, right? Nope. Our colleges were about to start soon and we both were enrolled in a different college, she said she wanted to see how our college life is going to affect our relationship. I didn’t think of it much since what could’ve gone wrong? College started and one month in and I could feel the distance increasing between us and she seemed busier than usual obviously but somewhere because of this she wasn’t giving me much time either. It was a Sunday afternoon when I confronted her about this and she seemed to have realized this as well and she said she’s really sorry about all this. But in the end, she said a relationship doesn’t seem possible. I was devastated but I didn’t shout or yell at her I tried to convince her in everyway possible. But it was futile. It seemed impossible to convince her. And the call ended with a goodbye.

1. The real end

Another problem that I had this whole time was not knowing when to give up trying and give up trying to keep her happy instead of myself. One day later she texted me and she asked if we could meet because she believed I deserved a proper goodbye. And I eventually went to meet her the very next day. And we talked a lot. She said she felt really sorry and she told me that I deserved the best. She told me she was overwhelmed by college; she saw so many faces together and it was difficult for her. I was just super sad but anyhow I controlled myself and I didn’t cry in front of her. But she did, she started crying and I couldn’t hold back then, I hugged her and patted her head telling it’s alright. After she stopped crying, she said she’s sorry and she told me she changed her mind, she had some expectations from a relationship and one of them was physical touch and since we lived far from each other that seemed less likely but she said one has to sacrifice something for love, and I was just confused. I didn’t know what to say, what to do. I said I’ll let her know. Less than an hour after we went back to our homes, I messaged her saying that I’m ready and I want to be with her. Because I thought God had given us a second chance and I believed that it is very much possible and I shouldn’t take too long to tell her.
Everything was perfect for about a month. It was the month of October; we had a small quarrel over something and the next day I called her to apologize. But something seemed different, something felt off. She said it’s okay but I could feel something was off. The worst day of the year and the worst time of that day. She told me her brother had run away from their house because of something that happened with him and a girl and their family was in a lot of panic, and she was obviously worried and scared. She prayed to God to return her brother and she promised that she will never date someone again. I stood there, without movement, without words and I realized what it had meant. It meant an official goodbye. Breaking up in a way one could never expect. She told me to promise to not tell this reason for breakup to my friends (common friend group). I was the one who was given up. The call ended with both of us saying I love you but for the last time ever. I wasn’t at home; I was outside in a park. I felt as if someone had stabbed me right through the heart. I couldn’t feel the wind anymore. People seemed to have stopped talking. The sky lost its color, the birds stopped chirping. My whole world had come to a pause. I couldn’t think straight. I returned home acting normal. My father had come to visit, he rarely visits the city because him and my mother are separated so I don’t get to see my whole family together often so I didn’t want to spoil it. My mother and sister knew about Missybusy. Later that night I told my mom and sister that we broke up and my mom was worried but I told her to not worry because I was fine and I never told them the actual reason either, I just keep telling them I got bored of her so that they won’t worry about me, besides I had created such a wonderful image of missybusy for them I thought I should let it be that way. I couldn’t tell me friends what had happened, I didn’t tell my mom and sister what actually happened. I just kept it to myself and it hurt. It hurt really bad. I felt as if I had given her my heart and she shattered it and threw it away. I never hated her for it and I always blamed the circumstances.

1. Life goes on

I was broken. And as any person after a breakup felt sad and sorrowful, so did I. But I kept my emotions bottled and never told anyone the actual reason. I did everything possible to keep myself distracted, I played games for many hours in a day, I talked to multiple people at once, I scrolled Instagram for hours and I was even addicted. I was losing control and I was falling in a huge pit. Days went by, I was in a terrible mental state. I attended every meetup possible even the ones I didn’t feel like going to, I was spending money like I was a millionaire or something, and I was running out of it. In the month of December, I went to visit my father and when he went for work I was alone and bored so I re-installed snapchat and just took a snap and sent it to all, I didn’t realize it went to Missybusy as well. She replied to that snap and asked how I am doing and we started a small conversation, we were just catching up and all. I was still in a poor mental state but honestly it just felt good talking to her again. And I asked her one question- “When exactly did you move on” and she replied she hadn’t. I felt bad because I realized it must’ve been difficult for her as well, college was tough for her. She told me she dated someone for two days. I was devastated yet again. So that promise for which we had to break up meant nothing. But for some reason a part of me was relieved anyway because she didn’t deserve all this. But what about me? I felt self-pity at that point honestly. When she was gone, I felt as if a part of me was taken away. I never asked for this and I never thought that I’ll have to go through all this when I first said I love you to her. Although we decided we should keep talking but I just couldn’t, after everything I could not just see her as a friend, I’ll always see her as my first love. I always try my best to smile and fool around my friends because that's who I was before I met her but I didn’t force it back then. When I returned to my city, I knew I couldn’t let these bad habits be my future. I knew what happened with me wasn’t fair but I couldn’t let that destroy my career or life. I started learning new things. I got into the stock market learnt a bit of trading and made good sum of money. I was still playing games and was still somewhat addicted. But slowly but surely, I was recollecting myself. I tried avoiding meetups with my school friends’ group because they always bring up this topic and I just hated that. I wanted peace. No matter how the days went by the night were always difficult, I didn’t hate her but I hated that the thought of her kept coming in my mind. It was always hard to fall asleep.

1. The Present- I’m still not over her completely. A part of me will always have hope for her to come back even though my mind knows otherwise but the heart is just weird. I met my school group friends after a long time and I felt good. There were four of us (Me, Dave and let’s call the other two Bob and Marley). I get along with Marley very well, he has his college in a different city so whenever he comes here, I make sure to meet him separately. When I met Marley, we went to a café just to have food and talk really, he asked me why does no one know the real reason for my and Missybusy's breakup. I just told him that it’s complicated. Then Marley told me that he heard from Bob and Dave that they told him that Missybusy started to like someone else that is why you both broke up. It was unprecedented to me. I felt weird, I felt a weird sting. I went back home and I messaged her to confront about this, I was taken away by my impulses. She assured me that wasn’t it and then we started talking like normal people do, talked about each other’s friends’, each other’s college life and so on. Then she asked if it’s possible to meet because it had been so long! And I was honestly scared to meet her but I just agreed anyway. 30th of may we met at a bowling and pool café. We sat there and talked about each other’s life. And honestly it seemed God did listen to my wish for keeping her happy because she had made good friends at college and obviously, she did have some problems but overall, she did seem happy and I was happy for that. The moment I saw her again after such a long time I realized nothing changed, she was just as pretty, her eyes were glowing just as usual and her fashion game was on the top. We made several eye contacts throughout and I could see a little pain in her eyes. It was the pain of guilt or pain of just losing, I won’t know for sure. When we were talking about our lives and what all had happened in these 7 and a half months, I felt so peaceful inside. But as soon as I mentioned what all I had to go through after out breakup she kept saying sorry and it felt as if I was just there to make her feel sorry. So, I refrained from talking about that. But then what did I have to talk about? Most of these months I had spent in misery and apart from that I told her about the little breakthroughs that I made in the market and I told her how I made some good friends at college. But that was it really. So, she did most of the talking. I was just listening. I didn’t want to talk about what I had to go through all these months because I felt I’ll just pressure her with more guilt. I didn’t come here to meet her and just listen to her saying sorry. I only cared about her smile.

My failure of expressing came back to me, I couldn’t tell her that I still loved her, I couldn’t tell her I still miss her. I just listened to her and laughed with her. She asked me once more before we left the park where we were walking at the moment, can we still we be friends? I was hesitant. But I told her we couldn’t. I told her we won’t be able to give time to this friendship and besides I have my competitive exams in December so I need to focus on that. But that’s just a part of it, I can never view her as my friend but always as the person I loved.
When we exited the park, we were standing near her car (oh she drives great by the way!). I told her to go while I wait for my uber. I pushed her away (not physically), I kept telling her to go away. That was it, no hugs just goodbyes. I wanted to hug her but I didn’t want the part of me that still had hope to grow. As she drove away, I realized in the end, I did end up hurting her by telling her to just go away. I came back home, acted normal as usual. Lied to my mom and sister again and told them the 'meeting was fine but it was boring'. The next day when I was home alone. I burst out crying. I never cried this much before. Only I know what I have lost. I didn’t want the part of me that had hope to grow but I also didn’t want it to just die. I cried for hours until eventually I washed my face and waited for my mom and sister to return. Missybusy was gone. I know what I’ve lost. And I blame myself for it. I can physically feel the pain in my heart at this point. It hurts so much. I wish I never met her after she told me a relationship isn’t possible. I wish I was never in love. I wish I never love again. I wish to be never this vulnerable again. I had gone through so much pain in those months and tried to act normal in front of everyone. I can’t tell how many thoughts crossed my mind daily. I just kept it bottled up within me. In the end I think God doesn’t like my heart. When I was in my mother’s womb it was found that I had a very faint heartbeat. As soon as I was born, I was taken into the ICU for surgery. Five years later it was found I have a low BPM. And so many years later my heart was broken into pieces. God doesn’t like my heart.

I filed my 2021 taxes March 2023 I still haven’t gotten them. Then a year later after finally being connected to a live agent (I couldn’t figure out how to get past the bot) I was told that I had to go and verify my identity which I never got any email, mail nor call about which is stupid. I went down there and I told that lady that my address is different then the one that I originally put down there when I first filed and she said that she changed and that since this is an old check, I would receive it in 6 weeks. So 6-8 weeks later they issued my check out but 2 months had past and I still hadn’t received it and so I was told by an agent to file a 3911 form if 4 weeks had passed and so I did on April 9th 2024 at Office Depot.
I printed out the 3911 forms, signed them and then faxed them to this fax number: 855-203-7538 which is supposed to be the Florida fax number that was on the IRS website (they better be correct) but it’s been 1.5 months and I still haven’t heard back about it and when I’ve called the past few times one person told me to be patient because the IRS is backed up and the other person told me that they put in the info for a trace and then I called again last week or this week and they said that they don’t see that I sent in a 3911 form which was BS because I went to Office Depot and filled everything out and sent it to that fax number that THEY provided, I probably should have just mailed it but an IRS employee said that it’s faster to fax it… man It’s been a a whole freaking year plus some and I still didn’t get my tax refund. This is absolutely ridiculous! They’re quick to take the money but slow and unreliable to give it back. Is there anything that I can do?

Here's my mantra guided by experience. Equipment will run on junk fuel, don't push the equipment too hard. I live in a cold dry climate so my examples might be biased.
-A friend had an old fuel truck on his property that he wanted moved. He was worried about potential leaks and disposal of the fuel. The 30+ year old high sulphur diesel in the tank looked gnarly, topped it up with the expired jet-a (kerosene) from the tank in the back. Guess what, truck did great and he was able to fill the heating oil tank on the side of his house for a few years with the jet fuel from the back!
-I've been in a situation where the only fuel available for the turboprop bush plane that we were using were a few old expired drums of diesel. Pilot checked them out with a flashlight and sent it. Logged it so the engineers knew what had happened when he got to his base.
-Currently fixing an old Honda hybrid for a beater (45mpg). Fired it up a few weeks ago on the 4+ year old gas in the tank and drove it 10 miles to the station. Smelled funny, but ran fine.
Don't plan on running gear with high compression engines on junk gas. Your gasoline generator will run for a while, a diesel forever.

So the day we got our funds back, Wednesday 5/29, I decided to stake approximately 1 Eth through Gemini Staking. After I submitted the staking request my Eth disappeared from my portfolio and the value was subtracted from my portfolio balance. The problem is I don't see any history of this transaction anywhere. So this is day 3 and there is no sign of the Eth. I read the pop-up that said staking happens in batches and won't happen until Gemini receives a pooled amount of 32 ETH to submit. I sent an email to Gemini s-u-pport asking for reassurance that the transaction is ok but no real response.
All I want is to be able to see a confirmation of the request to stake and a status. Looking at my balance and seeing over 3 grand gone for a few days is not a good look and does not build trust.

So I purchased an iPhone 15 and an Apple Watch SE Online and during the process of it being shipped from UPS, it was stolen. I don’t know if it was UPS or if Verizon had sent it like that but it arrived at my house with the box ripped open and the phone and watch gone. They left the chargers and band. I filed a claim with UPS and Verizon, Verizon said it will take about 48 hours to get an email about reimbursement. UPS said less than 8 days and this morning I got an email from Verizon saying my device was activated. So as of now, I don’t know what to do I’ve never been in this situation before. I just switched over to Verizon so I don’t have an actual account until I activate that phone which I don’t have. I didn’t have the Protection coverage deal that Verizon offered but on the paper it said 1 year warranty, so I don’t know if that will cover my lost goods for free. I would appreciate any suggestions and advice, it’s very unfortunate and frustrating, I was looking forward to getting this phone and watch all week, just for it to be tampered with and snatched. Robbing me of my hard earned money.

I got a email about a privacy policy change where my data is going to be used for AI learning. There should be an option for opting out of this since I'm a EU citizen.
However I cannot seem to find a form to fill. The closest thing that I can find is this link:
https://www.facebook.com/help/contact/510058597920541
But it seems like it is for non-EU citizens. Though quick searching I could find opt out forms for Facebook and Instagram users but not for Meta Quest users.
Does anyone know how to opt out of Meta's AI? It must be possible for EU citizens but I cannot find it.

In order to understand, I'll have to give a lot of context surrounding the job, so strap in. I work on a rig in North Dakota and there's a chain of command. The positions (lowest to highest) go floorhand, motorhand, derrickhand (me, 24M), driller, then toolpusher. There is a company representative for our customer but that won't be relevant in this story. The rig runs 24/7, with a day and night crew each working 12.5 hours for 14 day stretches. As you could probably imagine, we get irritated with each other from time to time as we work 175 hours in 2 weeks with no lunch breaks, short smoke breaks if a guy can find a minute. That being said, we do our best to get along out here. Nobody wants to hate someone they are stuck with for that long, no matter how different of lives we may lead form one another. Well, the two tool pushers weeks off are staggered from ours so we get 1 week with TP1, one week with TP2. 2 days ago (under TP2's tower), one of my floorhands told me he was going to write an anonymous email to HR about the condition of his man camp as the hands staying in there have been getting sick. Against my advice and behind my back, he sent the email. I had already discussed the issue with TP1 and he arranged to have the camp professionally cleaned. Word got back to the VP of drilling and he replaced their camp the same day. No problems, right? Wrong. At relief time that afternoon I went out to let the daytime derrickhand go in and TP2 was out there. He brought it up to everyone that there was a second email sent, outlining some problems someone had with him. I don't know the content of said email, but everyone has been referring to it as the "TP2 is a douchebag" email. I wasn't too surprised to hear that HR had been contacted about him because he can be a pain in the ass and very vindictive. I've worked with TP2 for 3 years now and while he has his moments, I respected him (definitely past tense now.) Later on in the evening, I went to his shack to ask him what was going on with the situation and he kept saying "I know who did it. That sucks for them because they have to come through me for a promotion. They have to come to me for anything they need out here." I had an issue with that statement because of how unprofessional (and illegal if I'm not mistaken) it was but I held my tongu and brushed it off. Promotions are a pretty common occurrence out here so it could have been anyone. At the beginning of my shift last night, he called me over to his man camp, where he started grilling me and accusing me of writing the email because I knew about the floorhands email. I clarified with him that I had advised against it and had already made plans with TP1 which I have definite proof of. He continued to press me and accuse me, and only stopped when I brought up all of the times him and I got into screaming matches because I wasn't afraid to call him out. He then said "I know it wasn't you, I just wanted to hear you say it. I know who did it." An hour ago when my relief came to work, he informed me that TP2 had already heavily insinuated to day crew that it was me to, to the point where they knew he couldn't have been talking about anyone else. There's already precursors for legal issues as it's clear as day that he has a vendetta and is trying to retaliate. At what point do I make a real stink of the issue? I want to believe that the issue can be resolved within the company, but I'm not a punk and won't let another man mess with my income/ career path. I have shown nothing but dedication to this company for 5 years and now I'm in a position where I feel like it will come to legal recourse. The hard part is proving retaliation because our job scope covers a wide range of tasks. Some of them REALLY suck. Cruel or unusall punishment seems like a stretch as it's hard to prove with a job such as this. Any advice would be greatly appreciated, and I apologize for how long winded the post is. I want to be thorough so any advice I receive is relatively applicable to my situation. Feel free to disregard my opinion on the legalities, I wouldn't be here if I had a law degree.

Hi everyone, I'm excited to finally be a homeowner, but the journey here was bumpy!
I’ve recently completed on a new-build house* and moved in about a month ago. While it was a relatively quick process compared to the stories I’ve seen here (about 7 weeks from reservation to completion), I did have some unpleasant experiences dealing with solicitors.
For example:

• There seemed to be no sync between team members handling my case; I had multiple emails asking me to resubmit the same documents I had already sent.
• Having to download documents to sign them felt outdated and inconvenient.
• I often felt lost with the documents uploaded by the solicitors since there was no clear guidance on what to do next. I frequently had to call or email them to find out the next steps.
• The onboarding process was also quite clunky, and there was a lack of transparency between the initial quotation and the final cost.
• Lastly, I struggled with understanding the legal jargon in many of the documents.

I’m curious to hear from others about their experiences. Did you face similar issues, or was your process smoother? What were the most frustrating parts for you when dealing with solicitors during your house buying process?
*The house had already been built and brought back to the market by the developer (Bloor Homes) as the sale to the initial buyer fell through. I guess this contributed to the relatively fast process. Plus I'm a first-time buyer.

Hello, meron ba sa inyo nakaexperience ng ganito? Please help me kung anong steps need ko itake or if may chance pa ba ma-reschedule. Should I just reply to the email of the prof that sent me the zoom link? Grabe napunta pa siya sa promotions tab ng gmail ko huhu

I spent months researching bikes and finally decided to purchase a grizil 7 for my birthday. The bike was shipped via FedEx and was scheduled to arrive on 5/28. I took the day off of work to make sure I could sign for the package when it arrived (I was so excited). FedEx messed up and missed the original delivery date.
I contacted FedEx to discuss alternative delivery options because I was required to be in office the next few days and would miss subsequent delivery attempts (I am in meetings every day 8am-4pm, I can’t leave to pickup the package + FedEx never estimated a delivery time). FedEx told me there were restrictions placed on the shipment by canyon and to contact customer support. Canyon customer support basically said “we can refund you.” I didn’t want a refund, I wanted my bike to be delivered after 5pm or allow me to pick it up directly from FedEx, both choices FedEx confirmed they could do if canyon placed the request. Canyon customer support said they would contact FedEx and send me a confirmation email. The confirmation email never came. Delivery attempt #1 missed.
I contacted canyon again. Canyon customer support told me they sent FedEx an email and must have been too busy to see it. I requested that they call or try harder to contact FedEx because I surprisingly had no trouble getting into contact with FedEx customer support. Canyon said they’d send another email. Delivery attempt #2 missed so I contacted Canyon again. This time they did get through and received confirmation that FedEx would attempt to contact the delivery team to delay delivery until 5pm. Of course FedEx attempted final delivery at 11am on 5/31 and now my bike is being shipped back to canyon because of canyons shipping restrictions. Canyon customer service didn’t respond to me yesterday and I think they’re tired of trying to help me.
I know this is partially my fault for not being home but I’m so disappointed. I don’t want a refund. I want to pickup my bike. I guess I have to start my search all over again.

Hi Everyone!
I'm working on a vertical CRM, but new to Django, and I thought I might ask for some advice. There are two aspects of the project I'm building that I thought might have some existing building blocks in the Django ecosystem, but I've not been able to find something via search:

1. Automations - i.e. x action happens and an email is sent or a record is updated. Do any packages exist to make this easier?
2. Report Building - i.e. user chooses the aspects of the database they want to report on and builds the report they will generate.

Thanks in advance for any advice / feedback!
