My mother's birthday is coming up, and she loves jewelry and likes QVC's stock. So I went to qvc.com and navigated to one of the categories. In response, I got the following:

Error message page on qvc.com reading "We're sorry, but QVC.com is currently unavailable. To continue purchasing products, please use Automated Ordering by calling 1-800-345-1212. For all other inquiries, call 1-888-345-5788. For TDD/TTY: 711 (National TRS). Error ID = 0.1953d117.1786487757.1655f7c9. Connecting Address = ..." with a "Copy to Clipboard" button. At the bottom of the screenshot, the Firefox developer tools show the network requests, the top of which has a clearly-visible 418 response code.

Not sure why I go the error message, but it's funny that the response code is 418.

(Also, I don't get that error if I use Chromium.)

We're you ordering a teapot?

Ha! Wasn't ordering anything by that point, but maybe it's a sign that my mother wants a tea pot for her birthday.

I'm sure QVC sells teapots

This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don't spam.
