I once ordered something that started in Des Moines and it gets sent to Chicago, then to Kansas City, then Omaha, and finally to Lincoln. Lincoln is like 4 hours from Des Moines.

I write for a newspaper. Said newspaper takes a trip to des moines for delivery after I personally deliver the newspapers to the post office in the town in which they will be delivered. Logistics is weird, man. Some moron takes bags full of papers 120 miles away, then brings them back to customers where i left them in the first place. I'll be amazed if anyone can make that logic fly.

Probably cheaper to haul them there than actually pay a human being to exercise effort and sort the things that don't need to leave town.

Last parts I ordered from the US (CT) went to Kentucky, alaska, Korea, China, Singapore then perth. No idea why my items needs to circle the pacific in it's entirety. Who the gently caress send things to China to get lost in that quagmire of outgoing items? Why did it need to go to alaska of all places? E: It was sent UPS BTW When I order stuff from the west coast USA it's usually to sydney, then here, and takes 4 days. (Or singapore then perth), normally using fedex.

Leperflesh posted:The real value with insurance though is that the packages get flagged as high value and handled accordingly. When I was at UPS in the mid 90s, all the high value boxes went in a locked cage and us basic bitches on the sort line weren't allowed to handle them. I worked load in the early 00s at UPS. Never had a drat thing mentioned to me about high value stuff, only irregs... which we were always supposed to get a team lift on, but good luck finding help with that. I got to hulk plenty of rack mount UPSs into a truck myself (150 pound label on them... which is about what I weighed at the time). I also learned in a hurry that shutting off the belt feeding the trailer/dock I normally worked during the first half of my shift... SHUT DOWN THE ENTIRE loving SORT LINE for a good 10-15 minutes, apparently they had to have facilities restart it. Trainer told me to shut it off anytime poo poo was jamming, so I could go unjam it safely. What he didn't tell me is it shut down several belts, and I couldn't restart it like I could other belts at the other docks I worked. Apparently that was the only belt that acted that way - every other loading dock had either its own belt shutoff or a shutoff for 2 side by side bays. I got one gently caress of an rear end reaming my 2nd week there, and the belt fired back up a couple of times and knocked me on my rear end. SORRY I HAD TO CLIMB WAY UP INTO THE BELT TO UNJAM IT FUCKERS. DICK DICER posted:I cant stress enough without you guys Id be circling the drain on the streets in Seattle. Difference between this trip and last time is im not going back. It's good to have you back man. What's the plan, if any, once you're done in Valentine? Settle there? Go see the world? Or is it too soon to think about that? DICK DICER posted:Let me phrase it this way. Thats just one entry in a long, long list of regrets that i have to live with Deteriorata posted:A life without regrets is a life wasted. Just keep moving forward. This. I have a decent list of regrets, and I'd like to think I'd lived a rather innocent life for a long time (at least until I was about 18 or 19, anyway). There's no going backwards though. Only forward. And I'd probably do most of it again, except with (maybe) a little more thought put into not hurting so many people along the way. I've been incredibly lucky in that I've avoided legal trouble (aside from a shitload of traffic tickets and a criminal trespass order). But I sure as gently caress had a lot of fun, made some amazing friends, and I've learned a lot. Adiabatic posted:Wheres Dave + 5 years? Way to make it sound like a stereotypical desk job/retail/restaurant interview.   For some reason "in 5 years? I'll be signing your termination paperwork and having you escorted out of the building" doesn't fly well.  This literally made me laugh so hard that I nearly puked. (also I have that same one in my kitchen..) Beach Bum posted:Dave how do you and jerky get along? Send pickled quail eggs instead. But don't warn anyone in town.  Just put at least SOMETHING in as an answer for the questions, otherwise if I'm the one seeing the request, you get denied (and blocked if your profile looks like a spam account). I dunno what the other admins are doing. DICK DICER posted:*while huddled in a tent because it keeps pouring rain and you have half a pack of tortillas Got butter? A popular snack when I was growing up was a warmed tortilla with melted butter. I guess it's a border thing though (and probably explains my cholesterol and diabetes).

DICK DICER posted:43 degrees when I woke up this morning Stay safe, poverty mechanic. Were you warm enough? You mentioned a 0 degree sleeping bag which should be good for a while. Someone else said those popup campers have a (gas?) heater; do you know if yours works, for when the weather gets even colder?

Does anybody have the pseudo OSHA label from last year saved? I think it was in Requiem for a Jeep, but might have been this thread. Around December maybe, had the two words OH gently caress and the little OSHA guy detonating from the inside out

Yep. I use one of those for the weeds that spring up faster than the grass when I use my reel mower. shy boy from chess club posted:Some people call them a Kaiser blade My dad always called it a yo-yo. Applesnots posted:https://m.acehardware.com/product/index.jsp?productId=1275023 Mine's actually more like that one. Works pretty well. Just swing it back and forth at the level you want to cut down to, basically.
