    Prof said this in an econ class that like, 25% of students drop after the first exam. Had me sweating balls and was extremely stressed about it.

    Turns out my heavily Republican college classmates were just especially stupid when it comes to econ. He was one of the best professors I ever took.

    The professors whose classes everyone passes are the ones you learn nothing in.

    I wrote this one ages ago to throw shopgoodwill.com items in my calendar because the times are in PDT and they don’t have any built in notification (that works)

    Also made it work with govdeals but I haven’t tested that in ages so YMMV

    Writes it to a Google calendar URL. I had it write to an ICS file at one point but I don’t have version control on this one file

    javascript: (
    () => {
        function createItem(productTitle, date) {
            console.log(productTitle, date);
             window.open(`https://calendar.google.com/calendar/render?action=TEMPLATE&text=%24%7BproductTitle%7D&details=%24%7BproductTitle%7D @ Goodwill ${window.location}&dates=${date}/${date}`);
        }
        if (window.location.href.toString().includes("https://shopgoodwill.com/item/")) {
            try {
                let title = document.querySelectorAll(".mb-4.d-none.d-md-block.ng-star-inserted")[0].innerText;
                let headers = document.querySelectorAll("th.font-weight-bold.text-nowrap");
                let time;
                if (headers[4].innerHTML == " Handling Price: ") {
                    time = headers[5] }
                else {
                    time = headers[4]
                }
                time = time.parentElement.children[1].innerHTML.substring(0, 25) + "DT";
                console.log(headers);
                createItem(title, new Date(time).toISOString().split(".")[0].replace(/-/gi, "").replace(/:/gi, "") + "Z");
            } catch (e) {
                alert("An error occurred, check the console for full details: " + e);
                console.log(e); 
            }
        } else if (window.location.href.toString().includes("https://www.govdeals.com/index.cfm")) {
            try {
                createItem(document.querySelectorAll("#asset_short_desc_id")[0].innerText, new Date(document.querySelectorAll("tr > td[align='right'][nowrap='nowrap'] > b")[0].innerText.replace("ET", "EDT")).toISOString().split(".")[0].replace(/-/gi, "").replace(/:/gi, "") + "Z");
            } catch (e) {
                alert("An error occurred, check the console for full details: " + e);
                console.log(e);
            }
        } else {
            alert("This is not a goodwill or govdeals item page.");
        }
    })();
