Graham Sutherland / PolynomialNIST Standard Reference Disappointment
One unit of disappointment. Costs $600. The box turns up and it's empty.
spork (pathetic girlfailure)
👑girltwinkprincessthing@gsuberland that would mean most dissappontments are far below one standard dissappontment
John TimaeusI'm disappointed. I figured it would contain one (1) standard reference NFT Ape.
Tabby@gsuberland I have saved one standard industrial Nothingness from my old job.
We used to get a lot of warranty replacement NICs and HBAs from Emulex, and the boxes were carefully sized so two fit perfectly into a USPS flat rate box.
Once I only needed to exchange one card, so they still sent the flat rate box. To fill the shipping box, they included a correctly labeled box of “Empty”.
Benjamin Reed@gsuberland If you’re getting exactly what you expect for the amount you were willing to pay, why is it still disappointing?
Malcolm Herbert@gsuberland not quite - there's a warranty card in the box, check again ... :)
Derek@gsuberland but can you be disappointed if you saw it coming? It should basically always be worse than the previous time, in order to keep disappointing

Boy, that would really suck!
(I'm attempting to make a empty == vacuum joke in case it didn't land.)

Certification paperwork shipped separately so as not to interfere with the reference.

curtosis@gsuberland In these times it’s more important than ever to keep your disappointment calibrated.
eviloatmeal, resident Death Stranding 2 apologist (arch, btw)@gsuberland How do you calibrate it? Because if you know that's what you're ordering, you won't be as disappointed when you open the box, right?
Emily Love 🏳️⚧️@gsuberland And that's $600 in 1970 dollars
a twig's paroxism 
@gsuberland the real cost is timing the delivery to be at the reference point in one's life
