So if this company uses your SSN as their data base (sic) primary key do you really want to work for them?
It is so obviously a scam it is laughable.

It does uniquely identify a person, and in school it's usage was allowed in database-design; just not in the real world.
And hope it's a scam, because if it is a real, legit company, they got issue's

I read read as read and not read, so I have to re-read read as read so I can read read correctly and it can make sense.

If you had read read as reed, I would have understood. But reading it as is, without changing the word, it does not make much sense.
If you read read, then you imagine "reading". You can hardly confuse that with "reading".
Soo.. I may have to reread this again

In a computer language you can overload functions, well with English we overload words to give them different meanings so that we can extract the maximum results for minimum effort.

The adjective for metal is metallic, but not so for iron,
which is ironic.

ferric would be the word here, evidently. Interesting. Now I will not be able to stop thinking about this little tid-bit of information all day.

But is it a no-iron fabric?

No. That wouldn't be ironic.

I'm steal thinking about; at first it seems to grab me the wrong way.
I've heard, in a fabric store, that it has something to do with pocket-bill yards. (Saree about that).

Didn't you know HP stands for Holdupper Pirates

Stupid question, but is this the official hp website ?
|
|

it's not a stupid question and yes it is actually the official HP site.
Here's the first part of the URL: https://store.hp.com/us/en/MyOrdersView...

I'd contact customer support, and ask if it shipped. If so, can I have a tracking number please? If not, when will it ship? And then decide if it's a "cancel this" job.
It's a poor site, but no worse than some I've seen that don't even tell you it's been dispatched until after it arrives ...

Yeah, I've seen those that tell you after it has arrived that it has shipped too.
Our USPS (official postal service) works that way. You pay for tracking but you never see the tracking info until after you've received it. It's ridiculous.

Reminds me of our local taxi firm. Had to use one a couple of weeks ago. Ordered using mobile phone. Anti-social time so taxi arrives within minutes ...
You sit in the taxi which sets off and then receive a text message to confirm your booking and how long it will be/how much it will cost.
Then one to tell you the taxi is on its way.
Then one to tell you it has arrived - by which time you're half way through the journey.
Still, there are good points. It recognises your number then suggests your most likely need e.g. "If you want a taxi from [home address] to [some place] then press 1 now." This appears to also take account of the time to decide if you're likely to be going out or returning home.
Saves all that forced communication with another human being. Even if it is a new journey, you have to fight with the voice recognition software for some considerable time with no success before it will grant access to a human.

It's a crazy world!  AI is training us to accept this as "normal".
