Easily Offended Snowflakes, vol. 138
unbillievable replied to ExiledInIllinois's topic in Off the Wall Archives
Let the quest begin! -
That's like death by zamboni. exteme-slow-mo The camera angle was good at the beginning, but it kept getting worse every time they adjusted it, until you miss the car getting destroyed.

My family used to live in Las Vegas, NEW MEXICO, so I routinely watched packages wrongly shipped to Nevada. I got in the habit of watching how packages travel. Even made a few phone calls during the Harry Potter book 7 and PS2 craze when everything went to hell. My sister freaked out when her HP book was getting transferred from USPS to Fedex and circling in the city. She thought someone else was reading her book...

If it's a busy holiday; Christmas, Mother's Day, etc; mail carriers will prioritize air deliveries over ground packages. They don't want to hire extra help, so they postpone non-guaranteed delivery until the rush is over. This happens around every federal holiday, but sometimes can also occur when a delay occurs along the route; ie closed airport or weather. FedEX smartpost and UPS Surepost are contracts with USPS to move packages because the post office can't handle the volume. It's what Trump mentioned about USPS losing money on the Amazon contract. The Post office actually pays a 3rd party carrier more than what they're getting from the customer. I believe (not sure) that the company that delivers it to your door is usually the one the shipper used; it's up to them how they get it across the country, whether it be rail, boat, plane or Fedex, before getting the package back to finish the process.

I was hoping Cap would have gotten his shield back. One of the best scenes in the comics is Thanos shattering it. -

Maybe the Jills did not have it so bad....

The New York Times is fake news. Any cheerleader who thinks that they are not a "sex symbol" should not be taken seriously... especially since they were there to shoot a calendar. -
It's a good way to get people to buy 30+ items a year to justify the cost. Personally, I can wait an extra 3 days for my stuff to arrive. If I need it immediately, I'll go to a store locally.

They had tortilla chips and salsa at work, yesterday.

Would Allen have been there at 12?
unbillievable replied to Awwufelloff's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
We know for a fact that Allen wouldn't have lasted until 12, because he was drafted at 7 -
My geology teacher said the composition of Hawaii's volcanoes mean they can't do more than ooze magma to the surface... ...of course, this was the same guy who said Global Warming would render the Southwest uninhabitable by 2015.

Remember when the Bills waited for Rothlisberger and ended up with JP Losman... -
They hate us 'cause they ain't us.

The NYJ Release Bryce Petty - Claimed by MIA
unbillievable replied to 26CornerBlitz's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
The Jets were saying that there were trade offers for Petty. I guess they were just trying to get someone to offer anything. -

This is like watching Game of Thrones for the first time during the red wedding and being puzzled why everyone is freaking out. A lot of people have spent 10 years getting to know these characters. There is a bigger impact when you actually see them get their butts kicked. -
Also, when I went overseas and lost cell connection, my phone never updated. I guess I could have changed it myself, but why carry around a large brick just to see the time?

Kevin Feige confirmed that there will be real deaths in INfinity War. Some of these characters will stay dead. I think it was a mistake to smoke Black Panther and Spider-man, two characters we know they can't kill outright. -
uber delivers! I wonder how they can get around DOT regulations. They have them over here too, outside in the parking lot. This past Christmas someone broke into the locker and stole everyone's package. It was well lit and had a camera, but they never caught the guy.

Let’s get down to brass tacks ...
unbillievable replied to Juror#8's topic in Politics, Polls, and Pundits
YOu forgot the #1 reason. People everywhere hating SJW's. That includes other SJW's. The Democrats really screwed themselves by getting on that train. -
Wrist watches were invented because people found it troublesome to fish out a pocket-watct from their pants. I also find it interesting that I'm still able to point at my wrist and people automatically know I'm asking for the time. How long will that idiosyncrasy last...

From what i've read of Amazon's plan... They want to build pick-up centers in cities.So instead of delivering to your house, they want to move their products from a central warehouse to a smaller warehouse in a city where customers pick up their items. So if you live in the middle of nowhere, you're going to have to drive into the city to get your package. It's certainly one way to skip the hardest part of building a delivery service;... by not actually delivering it to you, just getting it closer so you can pick it up yourself ...until they figure out how to stop people from shooting down their drones. Although, they could make money by charging customers to finish that last leg of the journey to your doorstep; then simply handing if off to the Post Office.

They've been saying that for years. Walmart tried to do the same thing, back when they were the biggest company in the market, and they couldn't pull it off. People don't realize just how big of an infrastructure they have to build. It's not just about connecting cities, but it's also reaching the smallest villages, while trying to find trained drivers in a rapidly shrinking profession. It's like Pizza-Hut declaring they're going to build and develop their own car for deliveries. It's possible, but the costs far out-weigh the benefits. I think the only way it will ever happen is if some technology gets introduced that forces the delivery industry to retro-fit everything; like safe self-driving vehicles or efficient electric engines.

I've seen Prime products cost more than the identical non-Prime item because they know Prime members filter out those results.
