Hey @PlayStation ... can you please fix your system software? I'm getting multiple crashes per day.
I laugh sometimes at the @walmart delivery orders when it says something is "unavailable." For example, I ordered some cupcakes from the bakery for my son. I just got a notice cupcakes were "unavailable." Cupcakes. At Walmart. Just say "I didn't want to walk over to bakery."
What a disappointing #nascar race today. Horrible ending.
