I have full faith in USPS dick. You just gotta believe.
I was worried about my last order arriving before I moved out of here. USPS sent it from NY to Dubai and I got worried. But within 4 days it's got to perth, dubai was the one and only stop.
That beats UPS that sent my last US order to alaska, korea, china and then singapore, taking 8 days, (and for twice the price). Only problem is now I got to rely on auspost for the final leg, because I used USPS to get it here. Auspost advertise they will gently caress you up and sit on and hold parcels because we suck and don't pay enough.

LOL AUSPOST

I haven't sent anything direct because it took them 6 weeks to figure out my leather boots weren't made of giraffe before they released them.

Dick what is your turntable situation? Considering expediting this bundle

Bald eagles are horrible trash birds so basically yes, they are vultures, more or less.

Yup.
I spent time in Dutch Harbor, AK. The eagles are virtual replacement-pigeons in AK. They hang around the dumpsters, looking haggard, and giving anyone walking nearby the stink-eye.

Just remember, Bank of America once asked a dude with no hands for a thumb-print. He offered a toe-print, but they refused. I cannot rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such behavior.

I lived in Juneau for a bit and - yeah bald eagles are poo poo idiot birds. Fairly often you'd see a raven picking at some food, then an eagle would swoop in all billy badass to try to beat up the raven, then the raven's buddies would fly in and kick the crap out of the eagle, who would then fly off all offended and land nearby trying hard to look dignified

so yeah the bald eagle is basically the perfect mascot for america: yo imma pick fights with darker creatures to try and steal their poo poo, get my rear end handed to me, then pretend like they're the villains

I imagine it was less confusion and more "them's the rules and I'm too lazy to contact someone who can tell me what to do when the rules ain't working." That or the entire organization is so pants on head retarded that there's no one who can even be asked what to do in that situation.

Your links aside, you didn't listen to him. My plumber makes $90/hr, my electrician gets $80, and the HVAC tech who installed my mini splits got $75. There is dignity in doing a job well, no matter what it is. I dug literal poo poo in the NYC sewers, and got treated like dirt by folks who judged me by my clothing, despite my education and salary (which they didn't know). I'm not saying that everyone should aspire to be a poverty wage slave, I'm saying that doing physical labor can be lucrative as hell and white collar folks need to stop looking down on those who do it. OSHA has overstepped it's bounds, and made it very difficult for small business to survive, while big businesses abuse their workers but have the admin staff and lawyers to play by the BS rules. "Every kid needs to go to college" is a gigantic lie and scam.

We need scavengers, they're an essential part of any ecosystem. It's just amusing that the bald eagle is portrayed in American iconography as being this majestic and noble thing, given its feeding habits.

And to be fair, bald eagles are quite capable as hunters and (especially) fishers, too. But they're happier stealing garbage than putting in the effort to go catch a salmon or whatever. And they're not very smart. And they're assholes.
