quote:In New York in 2013, Del Bufalo gave a lecture and signed copies of his book, Porphyry, about the reddish-purple rock much used by Roman emperors. I would have named my book that just to make radio interviewers stumble over pronouncing it, but this guy thought of it first.

Jesus gently caress. Just have the loving thing towed. Amazon probably doesn't want to connect the homeowner with the contractor, but that's not his problem. gently caress it, hook up a pickup to it and yank it into the road, then have it towed. Oddly, something kind of like that happened to my father's uncle. His son died of Covid and this left his company vehicle in the driveway. Big Sprinter like that one above. The business went to poo poo around the same time, so no need for it to be on the road. They let the thing sit in these poor people's driveway, reminding them of their dead son, for four months before another family member got wind of it and unleashed endless poo poo on the company until they removed the van.

I was thinking the same things, but then I realized gently caress Amazon. Who cares if it was a contractor, they were acting on behalf of Amazon so as far as I'm concerned it's Amazon's problem. Why should I do their work for them. It's off to the side, so he can still use his driveway, and he's in the annoyed-but-also-amused zone. Put a sign on it. Something like "Amazon? Why are you living a delivery van here?". Invite the local news and make it one of those quirky little local interest pieces for broadcast. Get it a twitter account.

In strange video game news today, the makers of the only public GW2 botting tool have announced that they have ceased sales and support of the bot because it is no longer profitable, and they will instead be developing and selling botting tools for FF14.

quote:Eventually Amazon told Lou to call the authorities and have it towed. “That’s a terrible solution,” Lou said. “I’m not going to have the vehicle towed. Amazon should be able to figure this out. So now it’s an act of defiance. I did not follow Amazon’s instructions to just call the cops and have it towed.” I do not understand this man.

they couldve probably pushed it out into the road but that would put the liability for anyone hitting the van on him

To be fair they have been running both tools for some time, just not worth it for GW2 anymore.

America once had a tv show about people who would get their car towed unless they could answer general trivia questions, and would lose their car if they didn’t get enough right

Carthag Tuek posted:What are the questions How is the capacity of the fuel tank? What kind of brakes does it have? How many cylinders? How many gears in the transmission? What is an acceptable tire pressure? What is the difference between lower and higher octane fuel? (other than the price) How closely are you legally allowed to follow an ambulance if its emergency lights are on?

GWBBQ posted:That's a complete scam. There's absolutely no way to know how many gears there are in an automatic transmission, even (especially) if you take it apart and count them. Also, I don't give a poo poo whether people know what kind of brakes they have as long as they have them serviced regularly. All but those are good test questions.

This question is not completely irrelevant. Drum brakes are really bad at stopping cars when going in reverse, so knowing your car has those can save you from ramming something or someone.
